Lupin - make it a playable race!

[RyuDragnier]

some concept art suggests it's going to be closer to animal than miqo'te.

Wouldn't mind a lupin race though. kinda nice seeing a humanoid race without a human face.

Same. The only "difficult" part for them would be designing the helms for the race, the rest of the armor would fit perfectly.

A simple solution would be like how Bethesda solved the Argonian/Khajiit boots due to the animal legs back in Morrowind, they can't use boots.
But instead of not letting them use helmets just make it perma-toggled off.
Lazy solution, but the most likely one if *IF* if ever this would be a playable race down the road.

Or just make it a mogstation race.
Those who are willing to play a race that can't have visible headgear and no (or few since I can't think of much else than fur & eye colours) character costumization can do so.
Buy it once to unlock it and use Fantasia like for any other race.
It would be like buying a game in Alpha stage. Alot of people do it and play it like a full game.

Just lock the display headgear for that race problem solved.

I realised way too late that this was a thread from 2017 lol
But it does serve as a time capsule of things that just aged poorly.

We already have a massive thread about this, so what made you think we needed another?

And no. The whole story is about humanoid races vs beastmen. The warrior of light belongs to the former. The wolfheads to the latter. There won't ever be beastmen warriors of light and they're not going to change the whole story to add a race that wouldn't be popular anyway.

Hrothgar say Hi!

Where is the racial variety in Viera? They're just hyur with bunny ears and a small cotton ball tail.

What we got didn't even get the cute cotton tail, dammit.

Seeing as they were proposed as a player race before the potential is there and since they are in the game its possible to happen. Im all for it anyway!

[Abriael]

Seeing as they were discarded as a player race...

Fixed that for ya

People bringing their real world angst about Gender into the game is why we will never get Veira.

Who said Gender was the issue with Veira? SE had both male and female concept art for them but back to the fact they are literally just Hyur with bunny ears and a small fluffy tail.

That's like saying Lalas are short Hyurs, Au Ra are Hyur with horns and tails, Elezens are tall Hyurs with pointy ears etc.
It's a new race so it's racial variety, and one which adds more than an Elezen or a Roegadyn.

I guess Viera was discarded too.
