As a bearded fellow myself I always make my characters with a bit of face fuzz, but the last two fallout games have kinda been let downs to me since most of the beards were just shaped stubble not actual bushy chin cosy's.

So do you think/want there to be a better selection of manliness in fallout 4?

There is a better selection. Haven't you seen the CC vid?

Personally though I prefer bushy eyebrows and a long handlebar mustache. In red preferably.

I recall there being quite the selection of beards in FO3. Like, at least 15-20 different styles with anything from a stubble to lavish mustaches and full blown caveman beards. I think you can rest assured that the selection will be even more comprehensive in FO4. With what I've seen from the character creation screen, it may even be a slider that lets you pick the exact length you want.

Why are these options not available for the ladiez?

A gentleman can hope!

It shall be a General Burnsides for me. Untamed wilds on the sides and nose that shall not overcome the nobility of a strong chin, unadorned.

I myself am hoping for a glorious pair of mutton chops.

Lol

I see what you did there

Damn good question.

Maybe they get a cup-size option instead.

Armpit hair length?

If they only had a facial hair style named "Strictly Commercial" that matched the mustache and soul patch of the one and only Frank Zappa... at least in Fallout 3 since our character is always 19 I could make an excuse. For my Don Quixote characters I always went with the Dead Man's Hand beard, hopefully something like that (or even more chivalrous) is in. I doubt, though, that there will be a mutton-chops and mustache option that matches mine own, but who knows? Skyrim offered them both separately.

Pretty much every character I make has facial hair. One of the reasons I hated Oblivions facegen - making your skin tone look like you had some sort of ruggedness only turned your entire body purple in the process.

You see, this is where optimism has value. I like to always see the cup as being half full. Or is this not what you meant?

The cups I'm referring to I think you would always want to be full. Otherwise what would be the point?

You've obviously never experienced the disappointment of opening up a cup and finding it half full

Okay, time for a sharp exit before this gets out of hand lol!

LOL.

Ok, what were we talking about? Oh yeah ... beards! Yeah ... FO4's got ya covered.

Good as long as its my face that's covered, preferably by hair or you know... Cups.

I thought Fallout 3 and most recently Skyrim were quite good for beards compared to past Bethesda games. I'll be sporting a beard in Fallout 4 as long as I have the option to shave it!

I really like how in the Witcher 3, Geralts beard actually grows over time and you have to go back to the barber to get it shaved or trimmed.

I didn't know this! That's petty damned cool! More dynamic hair would be cool for sure.

Yay for beardz! I'm hoping for a way we can change all hair options at will. Perhaps Codsworth retained the haircut functions of F3's robo-butlers...

Good point. If I do start with a beard I would like to be able to shave it later, OR if I start clean shaved I may want to grow a beard later to show off my ruggedness. I hear Piper likes them rugged.

Sadly it stops at a very respectable length. It's not like you can be ZZTop by end game or anything.

would look cool with bullet holes and everything

As a bearded man myself, yes to beardz, and yes more better beardz.
