I need a easy to find barber, and I got some schematics for a Billboard at "Micheal Angelo's". ???

No "easy to find" barber, albeit there is one in the game, and the schemos are
Spoiler
useless. (yes. I put that in spoiler tags. Funny, huh?)

Yeah, he's the only barber in the game. Very disappointing, I was also disappointed that there is no plastic surgen to change your look mid game either.

I have a feeling in a post-apocalyptic wasteland that being ugly is the absolute least of your problems. plus the amount of medicine and materials needed to do it would be a waste.

I meant more as a courtesy to those of us who can't open up the commands and change it. They had the ability to change your "look" completly in FO3 and presumably the ability is there to do it in NV because the dr. that fixes you up in the begining of NV apparently wanted to know if he got everything back in the right place. ie. nose, check, ears, check, two eyes, check, hair color, check.

Even if the materials needed would be a waste and all that, I would rather have the option to do so from a roleplaying perspective and the changeable nature of my character. Make sense or not, its one benefit that should not have been cut in my opinion.

If anything it doesn't really make sense to me in a roleplaying perspective, that in a post apocalyptic world there'd be a lot of competent plastic surgeons around that could make you look perfect without a lot of hideous scarring and infection. But regardless, there is the option as you leave Goodsprings for the first time to change the character if you want to. I suppose it's always annoying to have a feature in a previous game that's removed in the followup though. That said, who's looking at their character's face all the time anyway? Even if I ever played in 3rd person mode, I'm always wearing power armor anyway.

Maybe I should explain my roleplaying perspective more clearly. By roleplaying I mean being able to change from one character look to another so that you are able to change what you are roleplaying as without having to start the entire game over again. One day I may want to play as A and the next by B, not being able to change your current character to satisfy what in my mind is the "look" or "personality" I'm currently trying to roleplay as takes away, at least for me, the ability to immerse myself in what I'm trying to roleplay as. Also, like many members on this forum I don't have a ton of time for gaming anymore and as such don't really have time to make numerous characters and play them from the start to finish. I'm usually stuck with 1 or 2 characters for the life of the game.

Thats all I'm saying, not from a character/environmental view, but from a character creation view to allow players to change character personalitities/look/roleplaying options on the fly without having to start the game over everytime. Hope that makes sense.
