VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[SturmChurro]

For the Au Ra vs. the new races
Au Ra horns are in the same place as ears. Miqote ears are non customizable and baked into their hairstyles. All other og races have their ears in a standard place. You don't have to do much to resize helmet from A to B to C if the features are approx. in the same place. Viera are unique in that their ears are in a nonstandard place and are customizable. Hrothgar heads are nonstandard even just amongst their 4 heads.

If I had to guess why the devs decided to simply opt out of all hats in the concept stages, I'd say its likely due to planned corner cutting to get very different races complete in the time it would usually take to make a shared set. Au Ra m/f designs complement one another and even share assets/features. They didn't need to reinvent the wheel after finishing one and starting the next.

If it's mainly the ears, and this is probably an unpopular opinion, but maybe they shouldn't have been customizable then. I'd much rather have more hairs, and headgear, than deal with this as a viera. Like, it's nice that it is customizable, but not at this cost, but, then again, I do also hold the opinion that viera/hrothgar are a very low priority, so who even knows even then if they would have added things.

I don't even care about the hat thing anymore...I just want the same number of hair options as the other races. Viera and Hrothgar got seriously screwed in the customization department.

Never going to happen.
