Please fix Felicitous Hood Au Ra horn clipping!

[ronibosch]

I'm going to guess there is some reason they don't just remove the horns in these cases. Maybe it's more complicated and/or they haven't done the necessary work to facilitate covering horns beneath headgear. Au ra horns always just clip directly through which has been among the sorest points of criticism for the dev's insistence throughout 5.0 that Viera simply can't equip the same headgear as everyone else.

I wonder if it's the placement of their horns. That could cause unique complications. And you're right: if Au Ra horns clip with everything, then why can't they just let Viera ears clip through (most of) the hats and helmets?

Personally... well, it's rather hypothetical in this case because my Au Ra would probably never wear that particular piece, but if he did then I would hate it if his horns completely vanished. They're not going to fit inside it, and they're solid parts of his head that can't just be tucked away out of sight.

The current clipping doesn't look good either, but "just hide the horns" isn't an approach I want them to start taking. It's already frustrating enough that Miqo'te ears get treated so badly with hats.

Unfortunately, the best solution would require a time machine and creative control at SE: at the design stage, Au Ra simply should not have had different horn shapes, just a single consistent placement that could then be worked around with headpieces incorporating them. The customisation setting could have instead been used for a choice of horn ornaments or scale patterns or something.

Oof. Yeah, that wouldn't be great, removing their unique race parts. I guess this is just a glam option that will be an unfortunate choice for Au Ra (unless you're cool with the strange clipping). It would be super ambitious of the team to give Au Ra unique "horn socks" that match the faces' respective horns, but I know that would take too much time and resources that they'd rather use for other things.

Quality has really gone down, lately, imo. If they don't want to give Miqo'te the ARR treatment with the ear socks, then couldn't they at least let their ears clip? It would have been cute with the street attire hat (but I'm assuming the hat rises too high for it to look natural...?).
