Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

I think people were sometimes pretty nasty on both sides tho.
I‘m glad the way they are designed, you can still be pretty tall(taller than hyur and miqote). We basically have something different with females being a tad bit taller, reflecting real bunny characteristics but still not too small(kind of respecting their lore). I think that‘s a nice compromise.

Nah Dog, they are ruined, SE made a Mistake, nobodies gonna play them now.
They had a real shot and they Choked

I'm hopeful that SE will stick to their guns, but to not have a doubt? Man, I've been burned before.


All we can hope for is for female hrothgar to not get focus group tested into obwivion
(or that when the focus group says "she's too scary" that the devs say "GOOD.")

I'm still sad that the devs did not stick to that style for the female Au Ra.

Branch out the game's focus too much to satisfy everyone and you satisfy no-one.

*laughs in Gold Saucer, Treasure Maps, PvP, BLU, Triple Triad, etc etc*

Where is this "woke" argument coming from? I can understand the knee jerk reaction to an extent, but you know... diversity isn't inherently bad. I don't like progressivism, "wokeness", virtue signaling, or "sjw's" either. I don't like forced diversity. I get it. But this is character customization. We should have a diverse range of options, ones that cover niche things too.

I think furries aren't even that far out there in terms of nicheness now. Seems pretty popular in its own right. Maybe not the most popular option, but there's a demand for it.

I think that was an excellent compromise!

Not related to Hrothgar, it was a reference to this:

Yes, but this is a thread about female hrothgar.

[Kaliesto]

Well I'm thinking if they were to add them in they could use the Roe Model, and modify it.

The Roe Model is perfect for editing into a Hrothgar, and maybe cut down time to implement the gear?

I 100% support this. Stop gender-locking races.

Came back to the OF to see wtf people have to say about Viera hair news and saw this thread was popping off ...

I also don't get the 'wasted resources' opinion. Is it a wasted resource because it's not your cup of tea? Because it's certainly mine design-wise.

I don't get what people don't get about "wasted resources".
How many obese people are there in the parts of the world where this game is popular? A lot in the west. Would the devs or anyone reasonable think that doing everything they would have to do to make "Dulia-Chai" playable be "worth" the time, dev strain and $$$ investment needed? Prob not worth doing that.
Same with the "No more genderlocked gear!" crowd who want everything from Neo to seasonal sets to be wearable in both gender forms for either gender, that would be twice the amount of work to end up making gear that doubles female's options but only a tiny fraction of people who play male characters would bother wearing. Not worth the headache and would be a waste of energy.

What is and isn't "worth" or a "waste of resources" is completely up to the devs, but that doesn't mean we have to act blind to the logic they would have to apply to this.
I've been saying for a long time that people should reconcile with the fact that they only show Hrothgals as "Mithra crossed with Viera" because they're prob doing that for a reason. No matter how many people poo poo about Female Draggos, they're still the 2nd most popular thing in this game and are objectively well liked for what they are.

Where is this "woke" argument coming from?

It's the other side of the coin of people being offended when Things Are Not About Me. Instead of screaming hate crime they scream Woke PC Virtue Signaling and don't see the irony at all. In this case, it's a Titanman alt.


On the topic of the hunch: I'm glad they gave male Hrothgar the option to stand with a straight back. It's a fair compromise between the straight back and hunch back crowd. If f Hrothgar also get the hunch, I expect them to also get the same sort of options. Running around a little bent over doesn't actually look bad, as said by someone who plays ESO almost exclusively with the "Beast" personality.
