But Slavery in the Fallout world is just business. A way to make a quick profit, the fit preying off the weak. It's a powergame, rather than a race thing.

The Legion will be interesting because they operate a Roman style slavery model. Thing is, in the ancient world, anyone could be a slave... but that slave could "better themselves" and move up the ranks. It was a class thing, more than anything.

In any case let us pray that it never happens again.

Back on topic some dreads would look right at home too I think. Big and Klingon like

hmmm.. but I wouldn't mind that dress though..

Its going on still. More progressive countries just gave it a new name. Private prisons are huge money makers in the US. 3 strikes and your a slave. We have 1% of the population in jail, more than any other country and the reason is money. Diamond industry is slave heavy. Sweat shops, forced prostitution. etc.

Sorry bout that but its late and Im bored.

I share your pain, long-haired brethren. I always had to settle for the 'wind-swept' look. however, as I have recently gotten a job, I had to cut my hair to just short of my shoulders, so it's now actually pretty accurate.

It ain't emo you dammed troll. Some people have hair that grows like that. Such as moi.

Youve been throwing troll around alot. Thats a modable offense here.

Funny, I thought BEING a troll was a modable offense.

And I've only said it 3 times! >_<

I usually have long hair in RL but i really don't want any longer than there already are in fallout. Just thinkin about the fact that you are trying to survive in a wasteland filled with all kinds of monsters, do you realise how easy it is for a ghoul to grab you by the hair? So no long hair for me in fallout, the shorter the better. :vaultboy:

The best thing would be a choice for long hair and a beard... Lots and lots of beard... :thumbsup:

Just remember that saying someone is a :cheat: can be considered flame-bait.
Might want to cut down on it a little.

It should be, but they seem to let it go. Just a heads up so you can edit if ya want.

Long Hair? I bet you listen to beat Poetry and buy non-American cars too.

I have long hair cuz Im lazy and dont give a ****. I also grow 2 beards a month, when they itch I shave.

Stereotype much?
I have long hair, don't listen to poetry.

Just don't file people under something because of their choice of appearance.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kind of long
I could've said it was in my way

But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it, to someone

Damn commies, trying to destroy the American razor industry...

speaking from experience, the problem with long Fallout Hair is that the meshes don't display or obey any form of gravity or conformation to the underlying mesh (ooo big words for a sunday morning).

Basically, if you have long hair, and bend over, the hair sticks out straight up in the air and looks silly. Which is why most of the hairstyles in fallout are bobs/crewcuts/mohawks/topknots etc.

Hair-products smell better than a razor.

:rofl: Sounds like Liberty Prime lol

You guys need to chill yer beans a bit he was only joking . . . . :facepalm:

ooo... and speaking of which, this is a 50's thing, they still had the demob mentality back then. Hence all the suits look like demob suits, all the hair is short etc. WWII had an enormous affect on fashion, for both men and women. (Women in dungarees and jumpsuits? who'd have thunk it?). It wasn't until the generation after that fashion started to change, the rocker look etc, and that was mostly to counteract the blandness of the demob generation.

So long hair in Fallout is more likely down to lack of scissors than a fashion statement.

(I love long hair, on men and women. They have always worn it like that. It's the demob/McCarthy mentality that labels long-haired men "communists" and "Un-American" etc. Didn't Custer have long hair? I rest my case)

Although fallout timeline appropriate, you cant be suprised a beatnik reference didnt land. Glad to see he stepped up his game afterwards.

Exactly my point. Its probably a difficult line for the devs to walk, balancing the 50s aesthetic with the wasteland reality. That's why in Fallout 3 we got people who looked like Mad Max bikers attacking people who got their Fashion tips from Marilyn Monroe.

Long hair could fit the Former, but was the hippie movement too embryonic in the Fallout world for that sort of thing?

if there is any counter-culture in Fallout, it would be more the Beatnik/shades/beret style than the long hair/flared jeans hippy style. But then again, wasn't there reference in FO3 to "don't pay attention to their hippy babblings" (or somesuch, I forget the exact phrase). So it would be very very early hippy, the Jack Kerouac meets young Ken Kesey type thing, rather than the full-on late 60s Woodstock thing.
