Regarding Hrothgar and Benchmark

[Burningskull]

Bah. I didn't see this thread before I made one. The hairstyles being linked to the face option is a deal breaker for me. In all honestly it really looks like Viera had more work put into them than Hroth did. I like the body frame for Hrothgar tho. They do look rather different than Roes body wise. Which I'll be honest I thought they were just going to be head swapped.

Will stay a Male Mi'qote tho.

As a side note... now everyone know's how Au Ra felt with their horns being locked to a face type.

Yea thats kind of an.......odd choice SE made with that.

Im still Excited for my Bara Cat Daddy...but I too hope that we get more hairstyles....
Because the limited Options we have are VERY Underwhelming. Hell there isn't even a Bald Option if I decide I don't Want/Like the Human Hair.

On the Other Hand.....My Main is starting to look like it might turn into a Viera...I love their options~

From what I've seen, so much for the promise that "Viera and Hrothgar will have more customozation options in exchange for no visible headgear". Possibly another broken promise like the one of FC and Personal Housing being separate pricing systems

EDIT: misremembered as two different housing systems, not the prices... damn I've been remembering wrong for a while now... edited in what was really said regarding housing way-back-when...

Called it then, laughing now. I was never a fan of Hrothgar, the fact their face/hair are tied shows them to be little more than mask wearing Rogadyne with tails and bad posture. Implementation of Aura didn't separate horns, so i see no reason to expect a change with Hrothgar. I will not continue to call the dev team lazy, however i will see this as further proof Hrothgar was a mistake. Sadly Male Viera were sacrificed for a race with limited customization.

Actually female Hrothgar was sacrificed for Viera...And Roe and Hrothgar do have different skeleton:

I don't think they said more customization, I think they said their heads had unique features that prevented most headgear from working.

Hats that show hair have a different hair model for that "hair tucked into the hat" look. They wanted viera to have big hair styles, and sacrificed making the smaller hat hair model. Maybe they wanted different head shapes for Hrothgar and the different hairs didn't line up and they didn't want to make multiple versions of the same hair to fit all the heads.

I'm open to the possibility that the Benchmark is just incomplete and missing a lot of things, but if that's the case, I really wish SE would have given some warning about that rather than leaving it a surprise. It would have taken a lot of the sting off.

It's a very slightly altered Roe skeleton. But it's pretty obvious they started with the Roe as a base.

What Broken Promise?
