Beards!

shrewguyshrewguy Member Posts: 150 Arc User
I feel this could do with its own topic separate from the new character creation thread.

Basically all about facial hair options.

To start off, Tieflings.. they currently have no facial hair choices... can we please get some facial hair choices for tiefling men? like stubble or a devilish goatee etc... There's no reason Tieflings shouldn't have beards.


Secondly, halfelves still don't have beards anymore, I'm really hoping this isn't an intentional choice... Half elves can grow facial hair, they are half human afterall, elves are the only ones who can't grow body/facial hair. And its going to be very disappointing for a lot of players if their halfelves who had facial hair are abruptly forced to shave it off.

Thirdly.. Halforcs, they get a very limited amount of facial hair choices for being the second hairiest race. (dwarves are harrier) I don't understand why so many of the beards are not available to halforcs. Could halforcs maybe get some beard-love?


Also, since we are on the subject of facial/body hair, would be nice if we got some body hair options instead of every male model having the same chest hair. (which makes no sense with elves, they shouldn't have chest hair.)

    While Im all in favor of character customization (Im still in hopes of a better system/options in NW), lets face it: Tieflings facial hair would be just a bit odd. Yeah, I know, theres nowhere lore-wise that implies a Tiefling cant have facial hair, but Ill leave here an example:

    Its just... 'weird' to say the least.

    (Should also note that this Tiefling is OP and gamebreaking. Somehow his active slots are equiped with Stones of Allure and all five are summoned at the same time. :P)

    I actually really like the look of that guy, I think the beard works good on him. But that's kind of the point of choices, If I like it I can pick it if you don't like it you can pick no beards, same goes for humans.

    Pretty sure that teiflings and half-elves can grow any facial hair. Also Ioun stones are meant to be worn as a set for the most effect, the only limit on them is you can't wear any two of the same color (as they repel each other magnetically). The teifling in the one above is probably only wearing one but enchanted it with a mirror image spell so that attempting to snatch the ioun stone in orbit would be more difficult.

    I agree, the more options the better. What better time to suggest this than now, while they're reworking the character creation anyways.

    While half elves CAN grow facial hair, it doesn't grow as easily as a full blooded human. so I was fine with half elves getting the less covering facial hair otions. But as it stands now on the test Shard, Half elves have no facial hair atall. Which seems wrong, its removing a whole customisation tab from a race for no valid reason.

    :/

    The tiefling one is kind of personal for me as I want my tiefling to have a bit of stubble. But facial hair choices in general would help make tieflings look more individual, as they currently have a bit of an all look the same thing going.

    Beard for dwarven women! I seriously would make a female dwarf if I could be a brave and bearded beauty.

    Though... Yes. My half elf would be very sad indeed if he wakes up one day and finds out all his stubble has fallen off, never to regrow. I would also likely give my tiefling a beard, if it were possible! There's no reason he shouldn't be able to grow a big manly beard.

    Just checked preview shard again... Still no beards on either Tieflings or halfelves.... Starting to think Half elf characters are getting a perma-shave. And Tieflings will remain prepubescent..

    Let's hope they add more stuff before it goes live. Beards are needed.

    Good news, Halfelves got their facial hair choices back now
    :D

    Sadly.. still no facial hair for tieflings though, and halforcs still just get limited options. I really do just want stubble on my tiefling.

    On another note I wish we could layer stubble. You know, have sideburns AND stubble, instead of one or the other.
