Gender locked race?

[cicatriz313]

Gross. Let's keep the furries on WoW ok? As if the playerbase of this game wasn't cancerous enough.

Comments like this really degrade any actual conversation being made. I mean, they're both animal based races...

and for the record, i'm not trying to pick on you cica. :v I never pick on lalafells, I just hug them. I just think you're being awfully dismissive of people and I don't understand why.

Post limits again:

It's perfectly reasonable to want something. It's not reasonable to expect something that wasn't promised. Especially after all the info to the contrary coming out in leaks and mistakes. I'm not giving anyone a hard time on their desires, I'm posting about what they're saying otherwise. Aka that somehow implying male Viera would sell more fantasia than other options. How do you know that? You don't. My point was that no one knows what's more important to the playerbase and somehow that is construed as I'm a male Viera hater. I get it, you don't like people who don't agree with you and want to shut them down but guess what? You're just another dude on the internet to me.

That's just where we disagree then. I don't think it is unreasonable for people to expect something like that at all. No more unreasonable than it was for people to expect male miqote or female roegadyn back when 1.0 launched. After being shown a new race expecting both genders to be playable shouldn't be an unreasonable expectation at this point. None of the races since ARR's launch have been genderlocked. Why are people unreasonable for not wanting that to change?

I mean, I'd play kitty buff if they were decent enough - but come on - if we get the Khajiit, I mean High Hrothgar, whatever, then we can't ignore the fact that we've got two bloody genderlocked races. Bad joojoo. Had enough of 'Limited' things in this game.

On the other side, I just had a big old laugh at the idea of 'Dancer' and how we're going to have manly men more than likely using feminine like movements - unless they've really gone out of their way to have dancer be 'neutral' in regards to stances and movements. I can't wait to see Roe's and 'Fus Ro Fur' dance with elegance.


- I can make elder scrolls puns all day, it's better than writing my thesis. Please argue with me so I can procrastinate more, I beg of you.


Ahem; on the plus side - any race that has Omega M or Daddy Byakko body is acceptable for me. I will just have to wear a helmet.

Well, I don't mind an all male race personally... *eyes emoji* but that still isn't enough to make me overlook genderlocks.

Well prepare to continue to be annoyed, in that event.

As for Omega M, I am aware of what he looks like. I honestly don't find him anything special. You can design midlanders to approximate that, and both them and elezen have a very similar body type. Catboys are also fairly slender and can have "pretty" and "cute" face. Even Elezen can, but that face is just poorly adapted to their bodies.

Seems like it's 3 for 3, but you're just selective in what you're willing to consider as already available.

Elezen dont look anything like that and have awkward bodies.. stop pushing that.
Miqo can be cute- but its a stretch for them to look more on the beautiful side.
I have given you highlander.
So while I MAY have some options to create my aesthetic there is not a race that is designed around it.

THERE IS 3 Races designed to appeal to macho and handsome men. 4 even because i've seen some butch midllanders... 5 even because you can make masculine miqo.

Despite you stretching your definition of "macho" I'll simply say that I don't like any of the models available and if Hrothgar is something that works for me, I'm all for it. Same if male Viera comes out and they're manly. Like even if there are options doesn't mean there can't be MORE options. (Even though I disagree with your opinion that there are 5 options because come on.)

Ok... i'm getting a bit overzealous..
However if I went into the CC right now.. I could design a more masculine MACHO( i like this word) guys with each race. elezen have that grampa face and the masculine looking corsair type faces. miqo have nunh face. all the highlander faces. 3 of the au ra faces. all of the roe faces. so more like 3 3/4
However if i wanted to be a lean pretty boy.
highlander- most of the faces. miqo.. kinda but these all look more cute. that one aura face.. but then you got those bulky bodies.. elezen if i work reeeeaaaal hard. dassit.

honestly i hope we get both male viera.. and hrothgar. so we can all be happy

Throwing it out there now, if you're wanting a face that looks like omega-m you're gonna be disappointed. That face is just too... Amano-looking to be on a real race in this game. If you're just after the body-type, we will see. I personally think it's strikingly similar to the midlander fully chiseled build. And really, it's not just about the slender vs muscular bit with these races. You have to remember Hrothgar is supposed to be lion-like. Which would be cool on its own. Despite the silly roe in a wolfman outfit post way back, there's no way to make that in game.
