Honestly I like the hair, even the overall head and shape...just the Whiskers are what I find difficult.
Ive seen some good twitter Gposes with it and even Rostik & Bajsaljen looks good, but its just not MY style. And its not surprising it doesn't resonate with many others.

Cats with meat whiskers and spikes for eyebrows have very niche aesthetic appeal. Khimari after being abused by Mario Party's Face Lift too.

That's why the majority of Hrothgar use the same two faces.

And also the hairs tied to the faces. The two faces every Hrothgar uses have the best hair choices. If the hair was not attached to the faces you choose, you'd see a lot more of the other kinds of faces.

I'm just waiting on female hrothy coming next expansion! Been wanting them since hrothgar race was announced and was gutted they were male only. Hopefully after the debacle with the males they will design the females to avoid these issues.

So, are there actual functional samples people have tried to pass along to guide the devs along? It looks like they tried to squeeze something in and it didn't really work out, so they just might be less inclined to try any further without something that the players have actually gotten behind. They're probably not going to fill time on a LL for it.

Of course modders can get it done faster. They don't have the constant workload of working on all manner of models for the game, including those mounts that have to interact with those bulky catboys.

The consensus is something like "take the most popular Hrothgar hairstyles mods: this is what we want". Unlocking all racial hairstyles for each face is a very popular proposition too. We had multiple threads on the subject at the time until they all got drowned by hotter controversies.
Unfortunately it's hard to know if they received the feedback since they just have no interest in communicating properly whenever Hrothgar are involved. The fact that they acted surprised we wouldn't want earless Karen and 2B hairstyles in the first place doesn't inspire confidence.

Exactly.
In fact I'm fairly certain they only introduced those to encourage us to get used to the idea of just removing ears in general. "Look, it's so haaarrrd to do this so if you actually -do- want more hair we're just... gonna cut them off for all hrothgar. it's only fair for us devs. please look forward to being deaf."

I actually would make a female character to get stuffed prepped for femgar (like garo gear) but sadly all the women in this game have the exact same body (besides lala) and are just boring to look at for me like even oiriginal npcs look like nothing to me theres 0 flavor.
Im shocked whenever I see a miqote not be white or light caramel like omg they DO have other colors woah
Did you know miqote could be blue? I didnt know that crap til I did sidequests in Twine.
