If you really want me to search through the big hrothgar thread to pull up newer quotes of him where he said he said they weren't going to receive any hair previously, or the discussions around that original quote being a supposed "mistranslation" I will.
I THINK I remember you posting that somewhere in the 80+ page thread, but I'm not gonna go through it a second time to find stuff to add to a thread xD
I did that on the Feedback one, I'm not doing it again. I had to go through every page, and reading it all again just made me angrier and angrier at the situation when my intent was to be courteous. /playdead

Also, Churro, even when people write /s in the threads, it's hard to really gauge it's sarcasm. Speaking from second-hand experience. I know it's dumb, but it's best to state it's sarcasm, just to be safe.

On that note~

It also makes no sense. How could any developer just sit there and be like "Oh hey fans, we made a new race for our game! Also the new race can never do anything besides what you do at Character Creation, isn't that neat!" and expect fans to just be fine with that?
He's right. I think I told you this before, Churro, but even if Yoshida did say that, fan outcry has changed so much in the game. We did ask for some features and they've since acquiesced. We were led to believe that the races would be updated eventually if they had support. Which they have. A lot.

And even if they did. Past tense. They've since turned their back on that stance. But just because they did, it doesn't mean it's okay to drop low-effort and poor-quality content. As in, "okay sure, we know you didn't want to do this... but you CHOSE to do it now. So why are WE being punished? Why is this poorly done? If you decided to do this, then do it to the end, don't half-ass it."

TBH I think Churro knows this. Nor am I questioning the validity of their claim; it is still an interesting thing to wonder "what if SE really did say, in the past, that they wouldn't?". It's just that I also see a lot of people claim "You knew what you were getting into" without taking into account how the game has progressed thus far. It's easy to say "Oh they said X in a vaccum", but we don't play nor live in a vaccum.

EDIT: Oh .__. this has evolved while I was writing. MAN I'm slow
