What's up with that CRAZY hair style?.....no wait, that's ju

Simple topic.

Hair in TES...

Oblivion and Skyrim had very poor and ugly choices of hair styles.
Some look ridiculous and very cheap.

(Warpaint and Scars were a nice input though...but we're on hair now)

I remember at least Morrowind had SOME cool choices of hair, Like dreads and Spikes (but not a GREAT deal of choice either). These latter 2 games have some hideous hair-styles.

Most of the time I find myself going full bald because I think "Well, if you're gonna be bad-a$$, may as well NOT look stupid while doing it"


Next TES game, invest a LITTLE more time in making hairstyles not look so ....boring

What are you talking about? I guess, yeah, the Elves sometimes have some silly looking hair, but the humans don't. I'd even say the hairs in Skyrim are the best options by far.

I disagree with everything you have said:

1. Hairstyles in Oblivion and Skyrim were nice. I am particularly impressed with the quality of Skyrim's hairs.

2. I thought warpaint looked silly at best.

3. Hairstyles in Morrowind (like faces) looked butt-ugly, every single one of them.

I think Skyrim is a step up, tbh.

Ok, so go play a game like WoW or Rift where you can SEE different styles of hair...GOOD ones. And a good number of them to boot...

My idea of a good hairstyle isnt a chunky 'do' that makes you look like a hobo whatever style you chose..
Bowl-cut...Bowl cut with bald patch...Bowl cut with pony tail......<--REAL imagination here.

They all look thick..mangy..dirty like you have been rolling in the dirt and seawater for 3 days..and i'm playing on ultra graphics here...

Elves for example. Wow. you get some bad looking top/knots, ponytails which don't look like bad-ass ponytails, more like a scraggly bit of weed hanging from the back of your head. these half-braided hairstyles that look really kind of crappy and 'clunky'.
In fact only ONE actual hairstyle for elves (not including bald) looks decent<---only decent, and that's some long style where it comes over one shoulder.....and it isnt even that good...

You would imagine ESPECIALLY a race like elves would NOT be so conservative with hairstyles...

It's funny because when you actually play a game (any game..not TES) where your main protagonist has sick hair, you think it looks bad-a$$..
..but imagine these TES hairstyles on the same protagonist....they'd lose their "edge" a bit id wager.

ITT: "the art style of TES is too realistic, it should be more like WoW."

...I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Maybe that's because Skyrim is a mangy, dirty place where people roll in the dirt and seawater for 3 days.

But no, really, I don't share your opinion at all whatsoever. The hairstyles of Skyrim are the best yet, and I can find several hairstyles I like for every race and both genders. I really don't know what you're expecting, especially since you refer to WoW as a source of good hairstyles.
