Yay! Progress![/happy]
[usualwhining]Still, while they were improving the faces, someone could have done something about the hair too - I really hope the styles from the screenshots are just a careful selection of the dullest available hairdos and the rest will easily be able to compete with all the hair mods released two hours after the game comes out. After all, over the 200 years between Oblivion and Skyrim, some development in the area of haircare must have taken place, even despite the war and crisis. I really hated it in vanilla Oblivion (and Morrowind too) that I either could never find a suitable style for my character or were given only one decently suitable style to choose from. In Skyrim, I want to finally see some long hair, curly hair, fancy hair, hair with accessories, hair with buns, hair with tails, hair with wireless net connection and, most importantly of all, BRAIDS - we're in Skyrim, all Vikingy and Hollywoodishly Scandinavian, so a comprehensive selection of braided hairdos (and beards, of course) is essential. Everything with as much variation as imaginably possible and then some.
(I know how I sound, especially being mostly dead serious about it this time around, and I'm really not that shallow and hair-obsessed all the time, I swear! This just bothers me more than other things that bother me less ._.)
