Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[HeyMcFly]

I'd like more diadem type head pieces to be made, mostly in mind for Viera (but can be used by everyone)
I do always wear something on my characters head- mostly a Tiara/diadem of some type because I love high-fantasy type glamours

If Viera hadn't been crapped on with the added hairstyles that look like a botched job & instead given all of the mog station hairs first (which I know SE would have taken their time to make right)- I'd likely be a Viera because I love Y'sthola's Moddish hair.

I'd 100% rather Viera have their own hairstyles with how terrible the ported ones look, except lightnings hair (bc its mog station) But I'm also biased because I dislike about every hairstyle except maybe 2 or 3 that is available due to lack of variety- they're all flat hairstyles or rpg anime hero.

Everyone here would have to specifically request improved ported versions of hairstyles, or rely on modders to do a better job or else you'll get another of these nightmares LOL

Have you actually looked at the Lightning hair closely? The strands of hair literally grow out of one ear and stab straight through the other.

It's not terrible and I don't mind if that's what it takes to get access to more hairstyles, but that one in particular has really not gotten more special attention compared to others.

Well, except 2b maybe. That one got a little too much attention.

If we consider that they gave up with tails and ears from races like lalas, elezen a miqotes... is not going to get better until the female version of "ronsos" at home is added. After that old races are still in need of a small facial revamp. Compare to vieras (or new npcs) ARR races looks derpy at times. Female highladers facial textures are a good example of this.

Then we could talk all day about hair textures...

To be clear, I really don't give much of a damn about clipping, if the choice is between hair clipping with the ears or no hair then by all means let it clip somewhat.

I was disagreeing with HeyMcFly saying that the Lightning hair was somehow better done than the others because it's a Mogstation hairstyle, or it is nowadays at least.

Viera are still missing lots of hairstyles in the game, from all i unlocked in the game, i can only pick like 4 of them. + one from the mog station.

Viera has in my opinion the best animations in the game (their run/jump animations especially, they are perfect) and voice options but it just makes me so sad that they've been so neglected. I think that if you're gonna go through the trouble of adding a new race you should do it right. IMO hrothgar should not have been added at all. Imagine if all the effort that went into hrothgar had instead been poured into the viera. Instead of getting one "complete" new race we got 2 half-arsed races riddled with issues and limitations.

The only thing I've ever really disliked about viera was their limitations. I do think that coupling hrothgar and viera came with some complications -lack of updates probably being one of them, but it took the devs until like the end of ShB to even start looking at making it easier to implement hairstyles for viera. I feel like they were kind of made and forgotten about - both viera and hrothgar. If viera alone had come out, I'm not sure if we wouldn't still have had similar issues, unfortunately.

Yeah, that lightning hair doesn't look very good at all. That hair is an odd one though, while it is a mogstation hair, and I appreciate they added paid for hairstyles, the textures just really kind of clash with your ears. Maybe with darker hair colors it's less noticeable? It really doesn't look like they adjusted much if anything with that particular style.
