Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

I could see the females not having a hunch. Less body mass would allow for less of a need to, especially if they have less muscle than male hrothgar (who are walking brutes a bit).

male hrothgar (who are walking brutes a bit).

I love their wrestler physique~

[BunniEclair]

I'd rather they didn't go with the hunched stance for either, to be honest. Playing an Undead on WoW for 15 years drove me insane with how much it ruined glamours.

Same, I hope they don’t hunch. I’d much rather them be regal and powerful lionesses who stand tall!

I hope they are "waifu-ified" just for the amount of rage threads that would result from it.

This but like, a cat, then.

Doubt it, it may be more of a "thanks, I hate it, but whatever" reaction. If it were the Viera though...

You say that, but don't male Trolls in WoW have a hunch, and they are kind of lanky?

After clearing DRS to let off some steam. Seeing the lioness statues over and over again, wipe after wipe. Booping their snoots giving an INSANE buff:

I can only see and want female hrothgar to be in resemblance to the statue:
1. Unique animal head that is(and should be) a feature to the Hrothgar as a whole. You can give them a flatter face but it should be an option. Ronso/Khimari face on males is the widest but flattest face option. Heck, the illustration at the japan fanfest had an even flatter face to advertise the "beastly" race. Similar color scheme and theorized face sculpture to the females on the 2nd mural in a southern front CS.

2. Legit built physique. Give that creative freedom towards designing a physically built female character or push them into the realm of male hyper masculinity. And you'll have two routes, either the community lambasts it(TLOU 2) or it is tinkered with to still retain some element of "elegance" or significant hourglass form with the upper body still smaller than their hip and leg width. Yes, butch ladies sprouting up in anime are still safe and limiting designs for a strong female character. Even fantastic arts like this, which I adore(and good counter to the poor execution of Elezen and/or Roegadyn) are still a bit too safe to my liking in being on the same level or personality as Male Hrothgar:

And any exception(fat, aging or non hourglass) would write those characters as a minor side character or dangerous villainess.

Looking at those muscle clad forearms and subtle definition of the Lioness statue just oozes stylistic potential for female hrothgar as battle ready queens or hearty buddies alongside their male counterparts. But the lackluster excuse of "we already tried that with female roegadyn" is acting in bad faith or arrogant dismissal of its execution. Is it an issue with how SE handles female race models in general? Absolutely. Can it be fixed with a graphical engine tune up for character creator? I think so which is why I don't think we'll see them or male viera in 6.0.

Hunch wise, I've been liking the visual lore building of Hrothgar with that hunch. Defending against multiple threats or living in the harshest of regional conditions have morphed them to keep a center of gravity and wide stance on near any terrain. It makes them drawing their axe significantly more seamless. If females have to have no hunch, I won't complain especially if we have poses that can give them some exaggerated slouches/hunches.

3. This continues on from 2 but their emotes should also play alongside or build up on the goofy and macho gestures of the males.

come on time to revive this thread, make sure they give us our female hrothgar is 7.0.
