Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Qurho]

Yeah, in the end I hope the devs at least aim for a shape that isn't already covered, since body customization isn't (and likely won't be, not without some extremely heavy overhauling) a thing.

I think that's because of the whole face attached to the hairstyle thing. They cant even change their hair without paying not to mention the no unlockable hairstyles/hats. Don't think it has to do with popularity. When SHB launched, they were everywhere.

This is definitely an issue that feeds into their lower numbers. I knew a decent number of folks who gave hrothgar an earnest try on ShB launch, and really did like them! But ultimately ended up using a fantasia because the lack of head options was too disappointing. If you followed news and interviews then you knew about the problems with headgear on launch, but there was absolutely no mention of the hairstyle issue.

While I would be willing to fantasia/make an alt of a female Hrothgar if it’s based off the fanart that is slim with long hair, I would not play as a “char” like female. I would prefer it if they used the Viera body as a starting point and built something along the lines of that. I’d rather them be elegant amazons as opposed to monstrous, which is probably the better business decision.

Then play Viera? Huh? Hrothgar are literally the furry/beast race.

[_Pigzig]

We’re not all furries, I’m in it for the rugged and cool look. This body is what Roegs should’ve been.

The point I'm making is that Hrothgar were intentionally designed to be the playable beast race. It'd be silly to make that exclusive to the male and then make the females as human as all the other races in the game :T
Also I personally would have preferred Roegadyn to be more like their Galka counterparts (tail, etc). Way cuter.

Yes i support.

Exactly. I wanted a race equivalent to the Khajiits of Elder Scrolls franchise. Yeah, pretty much all of the Spoken races besides the Hrothgars/Ronsos are very Humanoid looking or Demi-Humans. I do hope that we wouldn't have to wait for another two years for the female hrothgars to come out.

Whenever female hrothgar comes, I hope they already have the hair situation figured out. I think this is what pushed the devs to try to rework this situation (hroths will be able to change their hairstyles in 6.1).


I wanna see a pretty female hroth with lots of hairstyles to choose from! I also hope they have more animal-like faces like male hroths instead of having a more human face like people are speculating!

[FawkesWyznfarr]

If femhroths turned out to be more human than beast looking (i.e. human face furry body) I'd be livid. The devs have been consistent with race design, except au ra, that I still have a little glimmer of hope left in my hollow shell of a heart.

I agree- we already have Viera, Miqo'te & au ra- which are overly human as it is

I'm fine with femhroth being on the slimmer side but I want them to look as close as possible to how Female Ronso did in FF-X (obv with upgraded graphics)
I love their very long tails & I was really disappointed when malehroth were revealed & they have a really stumpy tail & do not look anywhere near as good as the Male Ronso do

[Tsiron]

I don't know what it is with these devs and giving (playable) races just the tiniest, most pathetic looking tails, it's up there as one of my big disappointments with regards to the Au Ra... They already clip through capes, metal plates etc. as is, so what would it matter if they clipped through the ground too (which could be avoided through animation)?

Basically, what I wanted, in terms of anatomy and length both (except scaly):
