VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[CamuiKushi]

Viera hats/hair came up in a Q&A a few months ago and Yoshi P's response was basically "Soon" so I think people hoped/coped (myself included) that something would happen in DT. Honestly, it's pretty damn baffling that the races that you gotta basically pay to be are treated like a second thought. Doubly so when you see cash shop items that have hats that come with fine print "will not work with viera or hrothgar".

I really hope tiny hats aren't the solution. Just let my friggen ears clip if I wanna lol

I really dislike the tiny hat options we get. When I saw the tiny scholar hat that the viera was wearing in the benchmark my first thought was simply..."ok Im done...Im using my free fantasia and going another race". It just looked soooo silly.

I mean do we know if the other races aren't getting the fascinator hat too?
I do hope that's not their solution to the hat problem since m*dders have already done a wonderful job converting full sized hats to accommodate for the ears :x
(yes yes, I know independent hobbyists vs studio limitations, but boo to that!)

Funny enough that argument only makes it worse because if 1 person can do it within a few hours of spare time, what's stopping an actual company with multiple staff members that are far more versed in the game's ins and outs. The fact it's been almost 5 years at this point isn't embarrassing, it's insulting.

My main complaint is gonna stay the same:
I understand porting every single hat in the game can be an issue or too much work (even though it literally isn't....)
But at the VERY LEAST, the Mogstation/Other Paid Hats should be added to Viera and Hroth no questions asked.
People paid 70$ for an artbook, got the Matoya hat, and they can't wear that on Viera or Hroth? Ridiculous.
Even worse, third party tools allow these hats (and all hats, really) to be used without issue.
So, what is the excuse for that? SE can't do it, but some modder can have it fixed by themself? Hmmm...

The excuse I keep reading is that SE has to "account for quality" so it is a bigger undertaking than doing what "shallow work" that modders do. Idk. If they can have someone sitting there modifying peoples facial features in the benchmark so everyone gets lipfillers I don't see why one person cant find a couple of hours per year to just give us at least the mogstation hats....and hairs...Still waiting on minfilia and yshtola hair....

Just here to add that female Hrothgar have WAY to few Hairstyle choices and that they are AGAIN locked to Faces. This already was a mistake on the Male Hrothgar but doing it again on the Females shows that they did not listen to this very valid criticism.

It's not that they didn't learn or made the same mistake. They do listen it's just that they didn't want to fix the male Hrothgar's racial hairstyles yet, so they limited both genders.
While making female Hrothgar they knew if they didn't limit their racial hairstyles, it could be used on them like. "Why are the female Hrothgar not locked but the males still are?"

So, by logic it's better to purposely repeat the problem so both are equal and unhappy. Odds are come launch the missing default and unlockable hairstyles will still be missing and we will get one or more over multiple post-game patches.
Then after who knows how long they will finally get around to fixing the racial hairstyles for male Hrothgar. Female Hrothgar are probably prebuilt with the face lock problem fixed. (Sorry this hairstyle thing left me as a jaded conspiracy theorist.)

(To forum mods who may read this.) Despite the salt I'm still over the moon happy that I'm getting to play as a female Hrothgar. Doing the unfinished Bozja questline back in SHB really made me want to play as one.
It's just this hairstyle thing has always bugged me, and the more time passes the worse that feeling gets.
