    I think they look fine. If anything, not beastly enough. Why are male Hroths hunched over with a much more promiment snout and why do female Hroths look like furry Femroes? If we wanna add more feminine faces fo Hrothgals, I want them to also add less "pretty doll" faces to Midlanders, catgirls and Au Ra. A big part of why I'm playing a male character is that basically all of the female characters in this game are insufferably cutesy.

    If you don't like tall, somewhat buff women, that's fine. But remember, you're not the only person in the world. Personally, I love them. That's why I married a Roegadame.

    the cognitive dissonance in this reply is truly remarkable, at first you state you want the devs to alter the current features to a more "beastly" nature, then you take issue with the hunch of male hrothgar without the consideration that some may favor it, following these you also list other grievances with the races that maybe antithetical to other player's preferences and to somewhat quote yourself with the cherry that is the hypocrisy of this sundae "If you dont like pretty doll somewhat insufferably cutesy women thats fine, but remember you're not the only person in the world"

    I'm not sure if I didn't express myself clearly or if you need to work on your reading comprehension. The OP complains how female Hrothgar are too masculine, I'm saying that it's stupid how male Hrothgars are allowed to look bestial and female Hrothgars are essentially just furry Femroes. I'm tired of games doing that. Not every female character needs to be a supermodel. This annoyed the hell out of me in WoW with Trolls and Orcs. It always reminds me of the meme where male characters all look different and female characters are just human women with different colored skin (and sometimes animal ears).

    I LIKE the Hrothgar hunch. I like that they have a snout. I wish Hrothgals had the option to have one, too.

    In the rest of my post, I tried to point out that not everything is designed for everyone. I'm personally really freaking sick of every woman in every game needing to look the same because otherwise Gamers (TM) will get their panties in a twist and cry woke or whatever. Because, apparently, every single woman in every piece of media has to be attractive *exclusively to them*. I would personally never play a female Au Ra or Midlander, but I'm not here on the forums telling the devs to change them, so I have no idea what cognitive dissonance you're talking about.

    As someone who's been playing this game for quite a while, it's funny to see it finally get a female race option that isn't just Small Girl With Cat Ears/Horns while their male counterpart are larger and have more defined 'beast' traits, that people have been wanting forever, only for someone to complain that they're too masculine. If anything I think they could be even more beast-like.

    There's plenty of cutesy uwu dainty Mega Fem race options out there. Let the Big Buff Women enjoyers have something for once.

    Well yeah, that's three dainty small fem options. Fem Highlanders are taller and curvier but still VERY feminine. Fem Elezen are tall and slender supermodels, still very feminine, just like Viera. That leaves us with Lalas and Roes as the only choice you have it you don't want a super feminine character.

    I love femhroths. I agree they could give us even beastlier options. That would be very cool. But as a baseline they already look really good imo. They are a lot better than what I feared they would do with them tbh.
    (I just wish they hadn't attached the hairstyles to the faces...)

    For once, the female version of a somewhat bestial race isn't an embellished equivalent, as is the case with most games... Don't touch it, on the contrary.

    Aora > a female version with a sexual dismorphism so strong that it's... strange.
    Miqote > ... The female model is appreciated throughout the game for the ERP. Enough said. It's a shame, though, because the miqote lore is really nice.
    Hrothgar > Badass females, though it's worth noting that unlike the males they have a straight posture. Once again a small concession to what I said in the preamble: badass, yes, but with a more classic beauty.
    Trolls & Tauren, wow > Same thing. Male trolls are uniformly ugly by our standards; female trolls can be pretty.
    Undead, wow > The male model has an option where the lower jaw is unhooked, the female model does not. The female model, incidentally, still has breasts, which is very odd.
    Roe > the males clearly have hulk-like proportions. The females are very human, even if they are well built.

    In WoW's very early alpha designs, the female trolls were gangly and hunched like the males. People complained that the Horde had no "pretty" options (blood elves didn't come until The Burning Crusade), so they were straightened out.
