Types of Hairstyles

oldnorsehero · Jan 11, 2016

I know the developers were talking about adding some new character creation features in Exanima and SG, but on the topic of hair, I'm curious as to what types of hair will be added. Beards, 'staches, sideburns, eyebrows, head hair, and if they feel to go as far as body hair. 'Cause there are different cultures that had different hairstyles. Dreadlocks from tribal cultures, samurai buns, viking braids, mutton chops, unibrows, gentleman 'staches, droopy beards, braided beards, clean beards, messy beards, etc etc etc. It's gonna be interesting to see which of these they incorporate into the games.

What happened to the Conan long hair style?

Lol, well its not very practical. I would like to see some barbarian braids from the saxon era Europe

I would like to see a 'Ragnar Lothbrok' hairstyle. It fits the bill, and it's my own IRL these days! Maybe I just want to massage my ego in-game.

I'd like to see more stylish looking hairstyles, I'm not talking final fantasy spiky hair or anything, but just more done up hairstyles that noblemen/women would have in medieval and renaissance times. I know it would be impractical, but it's a game and I don't think there is any mechanic implemented that hampers your fighting ability if you don't have tied up hair.

All of those ideas can be made with mods in the future, if they don't add those ones in, and let the game be mod-friendly.

They´ll keep adding new hairstyles one by one over the development, as they stated. Facial hair will also be expanded on. But don´t expect anything too freakish, as far as I know the world does not feature drastically different cultures like barbarians, natives, easterners, nomads and so on, which is why I personally expect more grounded styles, probably some lifted from high and late medieval history.

I also kind of want to control the length of the hair with a slider.

Then you can have 2 people with the same style, but it doesn't look exactly the same

Hair is a weakness, getting in your face and giving the opponent a big handle to wrench your head around with.

It also needs constant maintanence otherwise it loses its optical appeal and fosters parasites. We know, but we still want it

Styles like that would make sense. I like it.
