More race-specific environmental novelties please

We already have a couple examples of houses that only Lalafels can enter, but I'd like more variety.

For example:

A rollercoaster with a height requirement only Roes can meet.
A catnip shop with a bouncer who only admits Miqos.
A Hrothgar-exclusive bathhouse.

[Valence]

How about no?

[Sunhwapark]

Sure, why not.
I propose an underground hat boutique in solution-9 that is only accessible by Hrothgar and Viera.

As long as it doesn't provide combat advantages I'm all for unique racial details.

That's fun. And everything can be out of stock, for a nice little in-joke that the whole community can enjoy.

Yes, because dwelling sizes naturally correspond to their inhabitants.

On the other hand...

A rollercoaster with a height requirement only Roes can meet.
A catnip shop with a bouncer who only admits Miqos.
A Hrothgar-exclusive bathhouse.

...all lack any in-game motivation whatsoever? There are no catnip shops? The only place a rollercoaster might exist is in an optional dungeon? And what bathhouse would have any reason to care about races?

I uh, think that might be a little outside of their remit considering they still haven’t figured out how to give certain races hats lol.

They do have those Lalafell/Dwarven houses that only they can go into on the First, right? I wouldn’t be opposed to more things like that if it feels right in the context (should it appear)

With the power of imagination we can easily come up with motivation for each of these examples. Things don't exist until they exist, so that's one problem solved. Why have a bathhouse exclusively for furry races? I guess for the same reason we don't wash our hair irl with dog shampoo.

Perfect fit in the instanced dream area that has no other use once you've finished the pixie quests.

Don't understand why non-Miqo'tes would get bounced from a catnip shop. I'd prefer fields of wild catnip in the overworld because: the overworld is completely neglected; a Miqo running through said catnip field would start doing backflips.

Actually works really well for psoriasis sufferers.
