I am just going to cut straight to the point.
If your character is any sort of Taur and you engage in any sort of inflation/pregnancy content, the game treats all of that as if you are a biped, from the descriptions of your character in the appearance screen, to various pregnancy progression events, to the eventual birthing scenes, even the adaptive mannequin you can use shows how your upper torso is swollen when all of this should be happening the Taur section of the body.
Meanwhile, every single Taur NPC that can get pregnant have their art displayed correctly, their appearance descriptions set right, and their pregnancy/birthing events all take their quadruped status in mind, even at the very start of the game, if you select your starting race to be Leithan, the little image that pop's up correctly shows the pregnancy on a taur as seen below.
(Also this icon should be used for the ''Bulky Belly'' status if you play as taur, but that's just me)
But I am sure this is not exactly news to anybody since this pregnancy discrepancy has been in the game for 10+ years now I think, so why I make this post now ?
I just happened to be looking at the patch notes and saw this line pop up.
So assuming this is not fake or something, and they add taur body shapes to the mannequin (bless you Jacques00), if all of the above is still in place they way it has been last 10 years, it's going to immediately conflict with the work being put in to the mannequin.
And while I get it that going back and making taur friendly variants for the Appearance Screen and various preg events etc is some work, I would assume its less work than making a 1000+ word taur exclusive bad end to the game that most players never see, or a 500+ word taur exclusive sex scene, since all you really need to do is tweak existing dialogue and not write brand new material.
Granted I don't know how the back end of the game works so I am willing to concede here, but if the game can apply ''if taur'' alterations to many other parts of the game, I don't see how the pregnancy/inflation description system in appearance menu is out of reach.
And to prove I am not all bark here, here is a quick 2 minute (rough) revision how I would have the appearance screen display late stage pregnancy on a taur.
The original/current
''Your distended belly is so gargantuanly huge that you have no hope of seeing the floor anywhere near you, let alone your legs. It’s a small miracle that you can even stand upright with all that mass slung out in front of you. Your belly protrudes unnaturally far forward, the sheer size of it making movement difficult.''
Taur Variant
Your distended belly is so gargantuanly huge that you have no hope of seeing your hind legs, It takes a lot of energy that you can even stand upright with all that mass hanging underneath you. Your belly protrudes far beneath and to the sides of you, the sheer size of it making movement difficult.
Granted this is just 1 revision out of 50 or more that the game needs, but even starting with the Appearance screen, and hopefully the upcoming mannequin displaying the pregnancy correctly would be cool, considering there has been Taur content added to the game year after year, but this part has been left untouched for over 10.
So all I ask is that next time you plan on adding a multi hundred work exclusive taur scene, you use the time and energy to fix all this instead, at least the pregnancy/inflation indicators for appearance screen if nothing else.
