If you see the FATEs related to them, they're all basically the harem of the "Coeurlclaw King". That tribe has always bothered me because, as far as I know, they're literally the only Keeper of the Moon tribe you can see NPCs of in a tribal culture, and they're all presented as concubines to their king even though lore says keepers are supposed to be a matriarchy (some of them literally being named "Coeurlclaw Concubine").(11-06-2013, 02:49 PM)Ildur Wrote: Miqo'te NPC characterization is all over the place. You have a bunch of serious, non-sexualized Miqo'te around, but the ammount of Miqo'te that have weird "cat-like" quirks or who are sexualized in some way is kind of staggering.
I can only think of 3 female Miqo'te NPCs that are serious and non-sexual, at least that I have encountered. Â There's the leader of the Maelstrom, the NPC you work with in the Arcanist questline, and Y'shotla (sp?). Â I guess you could count the Coeurlclaw Poachers? Â Otherwise, every single female Miqo I've seen that's an NPC has been a hooker or a dancing girl.
There's even an otherwise serious NPC in Gridania (a questgiver) who uses the word "meow" in place of "now." Â I wanted to choke someone when I ran into her. Â While she's not super sexualized, the NPC is a joke.
I was actually thinking of the NPC you run into in the main storyline quest, and the Leve quests out there. Â I think I've done the Coeurlclaw King Fate maybe...twice? Â I had never actually looked closely at the adds (they were usually dead by the time I got there xD) but that is really strange.
I feel like the Lore people and the quest/NPC design people just haven't been talking to one another very much. Â :-\
