Lupin playable race when?

Here's an idea....they make Additional Versions of said headgear so that it fits the Beastrace.
I know, tall order....but if they made the races, they should make accommodating headgear. Other games do it, FFXIV should do it to.

Physically how would a helmet fit on that head? It is very large, bulbous, and oddly shaped. You would basically have to create an entirely new head every time you release a helmet. That also doesn't account for the hair covering the front and back of the body. Does that get hidden or flattened, and what system do they have to create to make that work?

It's a tall order with a lot more work involved than "JuSt dO iT." Were I leading the project I don't think the juice would be worth the squeeze. Not to mention in a game like WoW which accommodates helmets on the beast races they still almost universally look like shit.

.....thats why you are making "Additional Versions of said headgear"
This way, the headgear would fit them as I layed out in my post.
If you saw the Mods, most of the headgear would look just fine. Just a bit of effort on teh Devs and SE to just make it happen and put in the work.

I love the Hrothgar, Im VERY excited for the Females, and I strongly support and advocate for more beastrace Avatar options should they be able to find a means to make more without overburdening themselves. But if they are going to do it...like if they put the Hrothgar in, they need to put in the work and effort, instead of making excuses.
Im not saying LOL JUST DO IT BRO, Im saying, If you put them in the game as playable characters in the 1st place, you should put in the effort to make sure they are treated fairly as well.

As I said, making the additional versions is what makes it unfeasible.

For the most part, gear as it is currently in the game is the same model scaled up or down for the different races. To accommodate Lupin they would have to make an entirely new unique model from the ground up for every helmet in the game, or at least every helmet created going forward. That also doesn't consider the previous points of how you wrap a helmet around that head in the first place without it looking absurd and how the model would handle hiding different bits, or not. I wouldn't be surprised if SE originally considered Lupin in place of Hrothgar and came to these same conclusions.

But if they are going to do it...like if they put the Hrothgar in, they need to put in the work and effort, instead of making excuses.

I agree, and I'm explaining why this is probably what prevented them from being added in place of Hrothgar.

:rofl:

My apologies... I just can't-

Exactly, now imagine that x100000 on Lupin.
