Undead posture

Will there ever be a custamization option to not have your undead character hunched over and standing up straight instead. You know like they did with the orcs, or with the trolls where they added a new type of troll with standing up right posture?
I sort of wanted to play undead but this hunched over thing all the time is kind of what put me off.
We seem to have 2 of every race in the character creation screen, 2 sets of humans, gnomes, taurens, orcs and stuff. But only 1 of undead.

May sound abit odd but I’ve always wanted a sort of hellraiser style character undead lol, but you can’t do that with the hunch they have now, in my opinion.

They haven’t said anything about it yet, but if we ever do get a straightened pose it’ll be in Shadowlands. They’ve claimed they want to add a lot more customization over time and there’s already some precedence for posture with orcs getting it and the stance already existing for undead.

Thing is, Orcs never should’ve been hunched, just look at artwork of Orcs all the way back to Warcraft 1, no hunching.

If anything, they fixed their mistake by adding the non-hunch.

Totally different, since the Zandalari Always stood upright, and thats how they’re supposed to be. All other trolls simply degraded and got hunched (except females for some reason).

One can hope.

arent they adding up right (regular) trolls in the shadowlands pre-patch?

Nah, what they showed at BlizzCon was just them in their T-Pose to show Everything.
They look like that if you basically stop all animation in 'em (I Think).

Regular trolls won’t be upright.

I dont get why Undead have “hunchback”…

Less flesh on their spine, means there is no gravitation pressure to pull their spine down. Their back must be streight, IMO.

But I’m sure I heard blizzard say they were going to make a custamization for undead where you can have no bones showing at all.

I’d love a straight-back option for my little worgen here. :wolf:

Not sure if a worgen would suit it, but it really would be good if players had the option to choose to have the race hunched or standing up straight for all races that are hunched.
It couldn’t hurt to have it.

Shhhh… This thread is not about dogs. Its about undead.

They did show undead without the boney legs and arms, yes. I think it was also implied that the degree of fleshiness would be customizable, meaning you can have some bones still. Straightened backs however, was not mentioned.

Awh come on! It’s precisely because it’s an undead thread! Throw us a bone! :skull:

I would love upright undead, I’m not sure if it was just for illustration purposes so I don’t want to get my hopes up, but in the Shadowlands presentation at BlizzCon they showed the undead upright on the previews of new customisations.

Fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:t4:

Standard T-pose for showing things, all races have that when animations are turned off.
