Upright posture for Undead race?

[Mikado12]

Hi, as the title says, is there any chance that Blizzard would make option for upright posture for Undeads? I know its old wish for many players, but with all these new costumization options and things like that in Shadowlands, i think this could be achieved.

[How dare you]

Would like that.

[EbaumsTipster]

Considering that would make them look like Humans, no.

[Zyrinx]

Skinny humans.

I vote yes, and I bet this happens.

They are humans.

They won't remotely look like the playable humans.

Honestly was hoping for this more than the no bones option. Will probably keep showing bones regardless, but with an upright posture available I might even make an Undead Hunter or Death Knight.

[Sunderella]

I would love that. And since Undead with knees and elbows seem to be coming and upright Forsaken are already guarding the Great Seal, I could see them coming too. But I could live with the Female Undead with flesh on keens and elbows.

I'm up for it. Nathanos already has an upright posture. Add red eyes to that and we're good to go :-)

Also, to promote equality and diversity, all alliance races should receive hunchback posture!

[Maljinwo]

I'd like upright posture for trolls as well

But i'd exchange that for beards

[Dead Moose Fandango]

Sure. But when do we get "less skin, more bones" option for forsaken?

[Utrrabbit]

They are humans.

Not all of them are human (well the ones we play are) but a bunch of the forsaken are high elves.

It would be cool if they added an option to play as one of the high elf forsaken that you see in game or even one of the undead gnomes you see around undercity.

I know I'm gonna get beaten for this but I find it exhausting how current Horde players want to beautify all original monstrous races. Undead slight hunchback is a big part of what makes them intimidating and cool. It's the reason people buy Noggenfogger elixirs, it's the reason why the undead male casting animation is so cool. I really don't understand this trend. Not everything has to be proper, especially a corpse-race. If you want normal posture humans, just play Humans?

I was hoping for a photoshoped version of an upright standing undead, oh well.

A hunchback gnome in a gimp transmog is the stuff of nightmares...
I am so making a hunchback gnome rogue if alliance ever gets that.

Pretty much this, I actually want undead to go back to the old rig/animations, they fit undead a lot more than the wobbly, float shit we have right now.
Armor is also seated a LOT better on the old models, especially the shoulders.

Goddamn I hate the new undead models, genuinely ruined my UD characters.

Model designer: I got gift for you forsaken player
Forsaken player: Really?!
Mode designer: Gonna fix dat back for ya playboy! *pulls out broomstick*
Forsaken player: Wh....what is that for?
Model designer: *nervous grin* We call it "The solution"....now drop your trousers and bend over.

Horde players want Humans, Alliance players want Blood Elves. It never fucking ends.

It's entirely possible. At Blizzcon they showed customization updates for a few races, with full body shots for Forsaken, Trolls, and Dwarves with some of their new options. The interesting thing was that Dwarves appear as they always do in their regular standing stance. The Trolls and Forsaken were in a development T-pose.

This perhaps means that they're working on straightening their backs as a new customization option - both in response to players requesting it, and to show off some of their new features (like the troll chest tattoos). There would be little other reason to have them in T-pose in those images if they weren't adding that as an option, since it wouldn't be a good representation of how people would see those new tattoos/skin tones anyway.

-Trolls
-Forsaken

No, it's likely because you can't show off the tattoos they worked on with the in-game hunches. They don't care about misleading advertising.

They made "upright trolls" into a race you have to grind or race change to, they aren't making it free in the barbershop.

Thing is the Thalassian elf model has always been in the Alliance, while Horde never had Human models until Nathanos. But I don't want this to become about HE so..
