    Races can be distinct without being offputting. No one can say with a straight face male Au'ra and Elezen animations look fine. Or Hrothgar stances. Or Midlander animations and face options.

    Aside from Viera, Lalafel and Mi'qote, the design of every race in the game makes the bias against them extremely apparent.
    Miqo faces are kind of... Off tho....

    And the tail and ear clipping..... Ugh...

    I don’t understand the hype behind them, besides the fact they’re cats. The faces are the same with almost no significant changes besides the tattoos on the cheeks.

    That’s why they all look the same to me, same for female or even male Midlanders. Everybody takes the same face.

    Female Roegadyns have similar issues with only 2 faces being alright, with one being overused even on NPCs. The rest are so bad they’re left to rot, or reserved for very goofy characters.

    They actually do have differences. The faces effect the nose, eyes, and mouths slightly, for each race

    On some, it effects facial features (or w/e that set of options is called towards the bottom)

    Noticeable on midlander between faces 1 and 5 for instance.

    I was mostly thinking of the female miq’ote faces, they have 3 if memory serves me right and honestly barely any difference with 2 just being the same but with or without the cheeks tattoos.

    For midlanders, indeed the difference is slightly there but honestly it’s very minor changes I can barely tell. Even for my retainer I chose Highlander because you can play more with the options. But I think I’ll just make her a roegadyn too. It’s funny to see my character who’s already tall, look up for big mommas roe.

    Roegadyn is the best race for female characters, no contest. Punny cats, lizards and weak humans stand no chance against such greatness.

    On a serious note, overall I think every race should be given a few more face options and customization. Full beards especially for males, because I know some miq’ote females want the full furry experience.
