The cat's (or femhroth in this case) outta the bag

[reivaxe]

The last thing we want is them sharing body with femroes, even SE knows their body and skintones are disgusting, femroe npcs always get unique ones unavailable to the player.

I find this attachment to "they gonna have femroe bod" so strange. Like ... all females other than Lala are based on the same model (Middies). What possible reason would they have to take the least played thing in the game and copy it? It's just as easy to just not do that and alter one of the far more popular bodies, seeing as every new race is just a remix of a past body type. We already saw with Au Ra and Viera that they don't see a need to 1:1 copy the bods of both genders the race is based on.

Even if people want to close their eyes and say that this unique body isn't supposed to be a Hrothgal body ... you still have to reconcile with the fact that the devs took the only important Femroe NPC in years and gave her a Non-Femroe body shape that looks like the far more popular females. That alone should tell you that they don't think that bod was a home run. And people keep bringing up Bun bois ... what does making Viera males look like Fuk bois have to do with anything? They took the most popular male in the game (Miqote), modded the body some and made it as tall as the 2nd most popular male in the game (Middie). If anything, that points to why this is likely the path they would take for Hrothgals.

As for the rest of the thread, My 1000th post sage advice is that I suggest people simply use Occam's Razor instead of rolling around in disconfirmation bias.
Seems clear to me that this is our Queen Gunnhildr as the Hrothgal she was supposed to be. So, she's a Hrothgal, Period.
Would be more interesting imho to talk about how, if that stuff on her head is hair, then females don't seem to have the patches of fur that the males do ... which would be great, cause that's part of the design BS that stops the males from changing their hair or having highlights. (Yes, it's pretty lame to have much of your CC memory budget eaten up by options that you only see if your character is wearing revealing glam. I'm also sure most Hrothgar don't like having to pay $10s to change hair but maybe that's just me)
