Growing Hair

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:52 pm

No to first 3 poll questions, but yes to 4th one.
Why?
Well, I really think that all that hair business is kinda bad since people don't want their characters look to change.
I make him have a haircut and beard I want and I want it to stay that way.
Barber, on the other hand, would be cool, but he will be there so you can only change your haircut and/or beard if you got bored from current one or something like that.
And NOOOOOOO to females having beard!!!

If it's included, hair growth should be adjustable during the character creation. There should be a way to make it grow faster or slower, or not at all, if you want a hairless guy.

Potions that prevent them to grow or make them grow very fast would be very nice and funny.

And I guess some witches could leave some rude Nords without their clothes AND without their beloved, 10-years grown, magnificient, ornated beard...

If barbers would have a template set of a hair style that mimics the exact look of what you chose in the beginning, I don't see any down sides about this. However, the hair should grow slower than it does in real life, a hair style in real world is easily ruined in a few week, in Skyrim it would have to be atleast 3 in game weeks until the hair style is "ruined" and needs to be cut down a bit. But making the hair grow naturally is a challenging piece of programming that could take long time to get working properly. So basically, it's not worth the effort, but if there was no effort then I'd want this.

Why should females be able to grow a beard? this makes no sense.

I wonder if I should report you for sixually discriminating :) I have always wanted to play a female argonian with long beard.
On the other hand, beard might be a slot the same way tail is in Oblivion so no beard let you wear two enchanted amulets or a headband.

More serious see no reason why hair and beard should grow, yes you have a hair length adjustment in Oblivion on most hair. but that if you select max length in the beginning?
I doubt they restrict your slider so it can grow longer over time. Also it look like Skyrim support longer hair styles who might lack length adjustment.
Now add that two month is a long time in the game so the hair growth would hardly be visible.
Yes to having some npc who can change your hairstyle, you might want to change and you might get clipping issues with the long hair you started with.

Yes to be able to pull beards and also tails.

YES
NO
NO
YES... for NPCs only though.

I as long as it is NOT like Fable. Sure I think it would be cool to see your hair and beard grow. It's a good way to show the progression of time. You could look at your character and suddenly realize that weeks have passed since your last trip to the barber.

Also it would be cool if there was a potion that made your hair and beard grow out all the way... and one that made all your hair fall out. It would be even better if you could sneak these potions into someone's drink at the pub! :evil: I can only imagine all the bearded (or bald) women roaming town after I visit. LOL!!!

-No.
I want full control over my character's beard.

-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).

-Yes.
This is more realistic. However, a "Hippie Warrior" perk should allow my character's hair to blind his enemies instead.

-Yes.
With various NPC customers who're dynamically assigned a hair style preference via Radiant Story.


Sindel approves of hair attacks.

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


I know... I love how the Imperial City has elaborate sewers, but not a single bathroom. LOL!

I would just want some barbers or at least some NPCs to change my hair appearance.

But the whole growing thing....really? Thats a whole new level of pointless immersion.

Also we should have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n3LL338aGA(tip of the hat to monty Python) - that way females can join in on the stonings and public burnings. :)

Is this satirical humor? Is this thread honest? I think I should stop coming to these boards for a while. There obviously isn't enough to talk about!

If we want realistic, lets wait a few minutes while our character takes a 'number 2.' But watch out! Sometimes the number 2 is a number 3, and you need to do a side quest to get that all cleaned up. Also, you really can't carry 100 books with you, I mean, that is unrealistic, and you can only carry one set of armour because where would the other helmet and briastplate go if you are already wearing one?

Realism breaks games. If games were realistic you would hate playing them.

I'm all for giving female characters the option to have facial hair, but I don't want it to grow and I don't want to have to maintain it all the time. I typically pick a hair option that I like for my character and I want it to remain that way. It's cool if they add in a barber where you can change your hair style to any of the other options at any given time, but it shouldn't be something forced on the player.

Should hair grow? Yes. It would add immersion and a neat dynamic. Having to get a haircut every month? Awesome!

Should your beard trip you? No. that's crazy talk. See http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1164968-snow-treading/

Should hair blind you? Sure. Gives people a good reason to do the Redguard 'fro. Besides, what Norse manly man has bangs? Besides, if Bethesda wants to make mountains really difficult (which is where I imagine people's hair would be blinding them), you're probably going to be walking into a headwind. That'll keep your hair behind you.

Should there be a barber profession? For NPCs? Yes. I want my haircut. For the player? No. Beauty shop is for 10-year-old girls.

I think growing hair is a bad idea. its just a game, not another life. there is a line between a cool game and super nerdy/you need to get a life game, growing hair is crossing that line

Oooh, 50/50 on growing hair :P
Personally, I don't think it will be in, and it's not something I ever hoped would be in, so a no vote from me. I'd like it if we could have longer hairstyles which would flow in the wind though :happy: (although tripping over your beard is a bit much lol!). Barbers would be nice too - and tattooists. Maybe when you reach a certain rank in a guild you can get a tattoo to commemorate your achievement.

Should you trip over the long beard?

Isn't this taking realism in games a little too far?
