It's time: Hrothgar posture setting

[Gordita]

Kinda weird that it wasn't even a choice. I guess EE3 answers this but is it ornamental or part of their body? (I mean I guess ornamental because we can remove it at the aesthetician) Why only one type of Hrothgar get them?
I must say, I was really annoyed with how Hrothgar were so different from Ronso at first but in the end I liked them enough to fanta my main. Still I was bothered by various things (no hat (and when they do, the hat and horn clip), slouch, lack of hair, relative lack of face diversity, etc.). Now, a lot of the options have really grown on me and now I don't mind most of it but I really get why people would want the option to stand straight. I kinda hope we will get a rework of the character creator at some point to add things like that but I guess that would negate any chance of a new race for 8.0.

We absolutely do not need/want another race in 8.0. way too much budget gets spent on it, meaning less content and qol. The game is in desperate need of qol since the start of time. We need to focus on that before adding another race

Seeing all the FemHroth from benchmark shots makes my heart burst with joy!
C'mon SE, make it happen <3

This is so important. Big reason why I never played one until recently. Love the idea of both postures being available. Devs please hear our pleas!

A choice for posture would be neat! I don't have a problem with hrothgar dudes hunching over (it's unique!), but at the same time I am a huge fan of the FFX ronso and any elements from that design is more than welcome.

Throwing my support here.

PSA: Hrothgar aren't Ronso! They're furry Roegadyn. If they had used Elezen skeleton but made them bulkier it would have been perfect!

Agree. In WoW, I played a male troll race, which had a permanent hunch, making it near impossible to see front armor designs, (which I never looked at anyway .
However, in one patch, they gave the male trolls a silly, prancing run animation that I couldn't stand. Female trolls stood and ran straight, and it cost less to change genders than races, so I switched. I wish we could get rid of the wide legged stance the males have. One fun thing in WoW was a potion that let you switch genders for an hour, so you could see how the other side looks in your gear.
She looks better too

I would Fanta, back to a Hrothgar happily if I could get a posture button

[E4EO]

No, keep your hunched over posture to assert dominance over smaller races by showing you don't need to stand up straight to tower over them



I'm joking, Hrothgar posture is so, so freaking bad, it causes the walk and run to look extremely stiff. Doubt they'll do anything but a man can dream.

Agree and adding my support here to let Hrothgars posture to be straight for various actions. Please make it a toggle.

The female Hrothgar having a straight posture with their running animation look very fluid. It contrasts really badly for the male Hrothgar version who looks like they have extremely bad backpain. The Dawntrail benchmark and various emotes/job poses and animations showed Hrothgar can stand straight up without any issues and look really good while doing so. I want to see Dawntrail give male Hrothgar a toggle to remove the hunchback in their various movements and not only when Hrothgar stop and pose.
