Can we get an option to remove tails from tailed races?

[Destati]

I want an option to let my tail show even if it clips through stuff. Between the Moonward sets and ears/tails being removed from RPR enshroud mode I'm worried it's setting a precedent for what's to come.

I don't. It's frustrating because the armor is otherwise really nice and it shouldn't be an issue to begin with. SE needs to do better. It's bizarre they think it's fine to just cut tails off when the vast majority of the playerbase plays races with tails and made the conscious choice to do so.

So .. mayyybe a /tail option would allow sets that unwantedly cut off tails to show them as well? Sounds plausible.

Because it's not consistent. It's the same reason people don't like when tails or ears get chopped off. You're trying take a thing and mold it into something it's not and was never supposed to be. It also just doesn't really address the core issue which is that SE doesn't care to support all the race options they have in the game. Viera and Hrothgar are the worst offenders here, of course, but they've gotten a lot worse about Miqo'te, Au Ra, etc. since ShB.

I don't think gatekeeping smaller fixes under the pretense of "there is a larger core issue" is a good way to get anything done.

Sure I think cutting of the racial features of the races is a bad thing. But ... in this thread.. in this case..

having an option to show or hide tails would be nice and would be adding to our options, not detracting.

With the release of the Moonward armor set, we can see how our characters would look without their tails. I have personally always wished to remove my character's tail, and it doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to implement as its already kinda in the game.

As someone who loves options ( the more the better ), I dislike this idea, entirely. It makes little sense to choose a tailed race, knowing they have them, and then not wanting them to. If they go down this road, people will want Au-ra without scales or horns, or tall Lallafel. Some choices during character creation should remain meaningful. For example, when I created my Miqote, I had the choice of two sub-races, each with one defining characteristic; cat eyes or fangs. Now, I'd support the option if it only worked in the Character panel, not in the "real" world, just so people could see the outfit better. That would be fine.

Tails are just part of their anatomy. I don’t like the idea of removing them or even the option as it ruins the fantasy of the race.

Slippery Slope and a nonsensical one at that. You don't love options if every option has the potential to bring ruin in your eyes. Your initial statement and what follows are disconnected, to say nothing of the frail argument to begin with.

What? We already had someone in this thread suggest options to remove Au ra scales and horns. How is this a nonsensical slippery slope when it happened in this thread already? Lol

It's more of a need for SE to stop thinking of armor design without the tails.

Some of the astronomy armors are a start, but the way the tail armor is still jarringly disconnected from it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You're joking, right? Are you baiting me or are you actually asking me to explain the most basic concept humans have had since time immemorial?

Fine, I'll bite: You see, there's this mystical object created by our bygone ancestors. Whispered and suspicious voices call them "Pants". But wait! It doesn't end there, as amazing as this tale already seems. You see, sometimes people can put things IN these pants, right? And when things are beneath the cloth of these """Pants""", they are invisible to outside viewers, despite still existing in a mind boggling pocket dimension known as "Inside Pants".

My sarcasm aside, you'll notice why stuffing your tail in your pants and descaling someone's face isn't equitable.

What a bizarre answer. Sorry your slippery slope argument did not work as again, those suggestions to change races in fundamental ways already exists in this thread and elsewhere. People can also love options so long as they do not fundamentally change the race. This is a response questioning if that poster really liked options.

As far as large tails being hidden in pants I’d find this bizarre looking and probably very uncomfortable. They’d also likely have to create models for many armors to have room for the tails to even be inside them given how tight many pants and leggings are. And again I think it would just destroy the personality of the race personally.

No need to be so rude and condescending unless you feel a but foolish for your earlier response which I’d understand.

Okay, so you don't know how pants work or think that maybe, at most, knee-length flexible appendages can't go down a pantsleg because of their sheer crater-creating girth. You are effectively beyond help.

I swear, for a community that plays in a fantasy realm, the occasional lack of creative thinking baffles me.
