6.2 Hrothgar Update

[Kazhar]

Don't remove the hunch. Just do what I keep saying and make it a simple toggle option in the Aesthetician for those who wish to keep it. It can't be 'that' hard to implement. And don't give me this crap about how they would take forever to redo the model animations. We already have standing Hrothgar emotes. We have standing Hrothgar in cutscenes and walking in cutscenes at times. They definitely have the animations for if they wanted to make them fully upright. The only problem might be combat animations, but they can keep the beastlike posture for that if they insist.

They probably won't do this. The amount of character creation options seems to be limited to a fixed number. Probably to prevent the character packets from getting too large. And AFAIK they never increased the size, not even for the new races.

So they will probably say that if we want a hunch toggle, they'd have to remove another option. Or add that option for everyone.

I really hope they fix this as part of future proofing the game.

Once the female Hrothgar are in I will happily accept no more races if it means fixing character creation and getting more customization options across the board.

An even easier option would be to add a non-hunch stance via changepose, for idle. For years races had unique idle stances. Giving Hrothguys the option to just, you know, stand up straight while not in battle would take the absolute minimum amount of effort, compared to recoding every single emote. And it's something they could add in by patch 6.2 or 6.3, not the 7.X series.

Re, the missing ears: I'm usually pretty charitable toward the dev team but even I think that was insulting. Just tweak the frigging hair rigging for that one race if you can't get the ears to play right.
