Arcadion headgear on hrothgar

I've said this before, but if unpaid fans can mod the hats on these cursed creatures over the weekend powered by instant ramen and Red Bull, what is stopping the actual devs from doing the same?

Modders aren't held to any sort of quality controls. It's easy to look at a mod and say "look how easy this is!", but it's not that simple. If a mod breaks with the next patch, or doesn't work on all OSs, or causes lag on certain hardware, or has any of the million issues a mod can have, the modders can just waive it away with a simple "run this at your own risk" warning. An official game feature can't let that happen. It has to work perfectly all the time every time, or it can't exists at all.

Now why exactly it's so hard for lions and bunnies wear hats, I have no idea. But if a fix was really that simple the devs would have long since done it themselves.

Even the 1.0 races with inhuman ears have been getting less and less gear that accommodates them, so the issue isn't limited to backporting the limited races' features.

At the end of the day, that person has done a hell of a lot more work than the dev team ever will.

Also. Work perfectly every time? The devs didn't even bother getting most body pieces to properly work on female Hrothgar, and there's been zero acknowledgement in their known issues posts that it mght be something they'll fix anytime soon.
