Growing Hair

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:04 am

O_O






My character should not grow a beard and hair. Argonians should not have any hair at all.


If you mean Men and Mer, then I'm fine with that...

I'm having several ideas regarding beards and hair.

4. If you don't maintain your hair and beard there should be penalties.
* 4.1 You should trip over the long beard.
* 4.2 You should be blinded by unattended hair.
* 4.3 NPCs should dislike bear looking characters.


You are aware that in real life, hair stops growing, right? It reaches a certain length dependent on genes and age and level of health, and it stops growing.

Finally someone that gets it. This here is the one and only secret to a good immersive, mature, dark and gritty, VISCERAL RPG. (did I miss any buzzword? Must have :biggrin: )



"Next gen"

:wink_smile:



Growing hair would make modding new hair styles a massive pain, I'm sure, since you'd have to design the hair to fit all the growth variables. (And think of how much hair gel it'd take to maintain those JRPG hairstyles! :celebration: )

Im sorry, if you don't have a beard you're simply not a man. It's only logical that your beard grow as your increase in strength.

Wrong. Your strength increases by growing your beard.

At the very least I want longer hair for my characters

Whether or not it can grow I don't really care (though it would be kinda interesting)

No

No, unless it's just something to change your hairstyle without needing console commands.

I think it would get incredibly annyoing having to shave your character's face all the time.

It would be fresh if the NPCs actually changed over time, or some once a month or so visited the barber for a new hairstyle etc. Would be a good reminder that we're in a dynamic world. As for our own hair growth, let it be a character customization thing if anything. I wouldn't mind it unless I had to go to the barber too often. Growth speed should be different for head, chest, and facial hair. If you actually *want* a female with facial (or chest) hair, you can have it. But, I'll always consider you the weird one :D I certainly wouldn't want to see it in the game, maybe except as a one time unique Bearded Lady freakshow easteregg :D

But "tripping in facial hair"? No, that's just way too much, even for me...

Hair grow? [NUMMIT] no! I want what I pick, ESPECIALLY after I slaved for hours to make a character that I find acceptable. Having that character change would piss me off. I will accept a barber profession, only so that if I grow bored with a hair style I can always change it.


Dragonborn says:
Oh, hey sorry Alduin. Uhm, I know I'm like, the Dovahkiin and everything. And we have a appointment to do battle at around 3 O' Clock. But, you know. We should reschedule, cause I really need to go to the barber and get my beard trimmed.

Alduin responds:
Yeah, yeah, that's fine. I'll just "postpone" devouring the world so you can get a haircut. Yeah.

Dragonborn says:
Thanks man. I knew you would understand.

Alduin patiently waits for the Dragonborn to enter the barber shop. Alduin then devours the entire town in one gulp.

Lol you guys are saying this game can't handle directional lighting and don't care if it isn't in the game as it takes away from the development of more 'important' features, then go on to ask for real-time growing beards and hair.

I'd like a fable 3 type of hair. you should be able to pick what you want at the begining but there should be a barber if you want to change it.

Y/N/N/Y
1- It should grow as long as it keeps in the style, I don't want my windbraids turning into a caveman rag thingy.
2&3- No, thats dumb. I'd hate it if it was in game.
4- As long as it wasn't you. You could go to the barber to get a trim/change of style.

-Yes.
This is more realistic. However, a perk should allow a long-bearded character to turn a stumble into a flying headbutt attack, and/or a beard-trip on his enemies (like Sindel in one of the Mortal Kombat games).


Wah?!? How is tripping over your beard realistic. It's not realistic in the first place to have a beard that long <_<

The mighty Dovakiin lifts his battleaxe above his head, ready to strike the final blow against Alduin the World Eater, when suddenly his hair falls in front of his eyes.
In a blind state of panic, he remorsefully screams "NOOOO! My only weakness! I should have had my hair cut before I left town!" and Alduin gobbles him up.

It isn't silly at all. It is really realistic and most of you guys insist on realism.

Nah.I like realism in a battle,in social life and in a wildlife,but i dont like "sims" style realism,next poll will be about necessity to urinate i guess. :swear:
And barber profession among Nords..well even in a heart of Empire,in Imperial city doesnt exist such thing. :spotted owl:

Just seeing the hair when it's windy, but not blocking your sight in any way, would be cool. And I'd like barbers in the game or just an option to change your haircut somehow.

It doesn't exist just because devs didn't have the idea to add it.

And for "sims" style... I never made a suggestion about urinating or something like that. But, the hair is the part of a culture and seems to me like a very important matter. Nord barbers could be shaving you with a sharpened dagger... unlike those [censored] french barbers.
