Earthen Allied Race Customization

Really enjoyed the blizzcon 2023 reveals and I am particularly excited about the new earthen Allied Race, all looks amazing.

The Customization options look amazing especially the addition of allowing body type 2 characters to have beards which were previously exclusive to body type 1 players.

Will this option be extended to existing races? Would be great to play a body type 2 human/night elf/blood elf and have the beard options available to body type 1 characters.

It’s Great to see blizzard being more inclusive and reflective of reality, hope that this is a sign for better Customization to come for playable races.

They should at least give beards to body 2 dwarves.

should be standard for every race in the game that has beards going forward imo

Hahahaha

Behave yersel

Tolkien confirmed female dwarves had beards in 1951 (a revised chapter in the Silmarillion)

If it’s good enough for LOTR, it’s good enough for WoW

Thats not a very helpful remark, trans people exist and should absolutely have representation in game.

Really enjoyed the amount of LGBTQ+ storylines in dragonflight and it would be a mistake not to have more in the future or take centre stage for the narrative.

Its 2023, you are on the wrong side of history with remarks like that.

Dude whaaaaaaaa-

This is true, and all hail Tolkien!

Also this isn’t about trans community at all, no need to pull that into this, it’s a fantasy game where such topics wouldn’t even be thought about. Control yourselves and keep politics out of a game you maniacs.

But it’s just another customization option so I’m all for it, more options the better, I think sliders for appearance would be awesome to see in the future.

I’m all for it as far as dwaves go, but the rest of the races, no thanks. It’s messed up.

So what Tolkien is a bible now ? Also in lord of the rings this was mentioned in a single quote (which was joking exchange between the dwarf and the elf btw) yet suddenly it is “absolute” .
And if we are talking Talkein , where were the female elves with bears in his books .
Not about trans ? Yet the “community” is coming out of the woodwork .
I do not understand .
So you like your stuff being “trans” and you are sure you are on the right side of history . Make a trans game and play it . Why are you trying to put that in everything.
Oh wait there are games like that and no-one plays them . I wander why .

As I said . You do you and I do me , so stop pushing your values on others. I just want a UI option to filter this .

Oh and btw history has no wrong sides . History is a record of events . The only people who think this are people who try to warp history to suite their unclean needs .

Female dwarves had beards in Warcraft Adventures game.

But blizzard dont beleave or know what female is anymore they think in bodytypes.

I dig the Earthen customization choices they offer, and I’m eager to see if they’ll introduce stone-inspired facial hair options.

Additionally, I believe beards should remain exclusive to dwarf characters and not be available for other races.

Mate , put the internet down for the day before you hurt yourself.

You’re talking about the LOTR films where there’s an exchange between Gimli and (I think) Eowyn on the way to Helms Deep.

Tolkien is regarded as one of the fathers of modern fantasy.
He himself wrote in one of his own books that female dwarves have beards.

Indeed this strangeness they have that no Man nor Elf has ever seen a beardless Dwarf - unless he were shaven in mockery, and would then be more like to die of shame than of many other hurts that to us would seem more deadly. For the Naugrim have beards from the beginning of their lives, male and female alike; nor indeed can their womenkind be discerned by those of other race, be it in feature or in gait or in voice, nor in any wise save this: that they go not to war, and seldom save at direst need issue from their deep bowers and halls.

Plus it’s not a trans issue.

Silly wee laddie

I think having it on Dwarfs is very funny.

On any other races would just be stupid and undesirable.

I don’t understand why anyone objects to anything in relation to this. If a person is trans, it has a total of no impact on any one’s life but their own, other than perhaps remembering how to refer to them.
