    It's time: Hrothgar posture setting

    Now that we're getting Female Hrothgar and hopefully soon after, the end of our struggle with headgears/hairstyles, it would be wonderful to get an option to have a posture setting for male Hrothgar (apparently Female Hrothgar don't suffer this) to have a straight back or the default hunchback.

    Hrothgar was based on Ronso from FFX and *shock* most Ronso have excellent posture and looks A+.
    I do understand that this was an artistic decision (that I believe most Hrothgar players would agree with me) did not mesh well with FFXIV systems as stated bellow:

    - Armor tends to get warped and coats stretched, especially at waistline

    - Most emotes have the player stand with a straight back, meaning that during cutscenes it looks terrible on Hrothgar as it goes:

    hunchback> straight back emote> hunchback

    It's really a shame, because Hrothgar's emotes are really well done

    - it doesn't make the race feel anymore feral, it feels that they went for a WoW low rank Orc (And even there they have a posture setting)

    - Floating Weapons are MUCH worse on a Hrothgar character.

    So, yeah, it adds very little and introduce a lot of issues and again, my perception is that a lot of Hrothgar players take issue with it.

    Anyway, I'm proposing a setting that let players choose and not completely remove it from the game.

    Thanks all!
