Miraluka's inaptitude to grow facial hair!?

[AokijiKuzan]

Greetings, fellow galactic argonauts!

 

Before all of us can embark on our journey, we must, of course, create ourselves a character. To me, it's a very important aspect of the game that I can't take lightly. As a result I spent my time yesterday just testing out various creations within the pre-decided Jedi Consular class. (I'm leaving out the majority of my thoughts on customization, hoping to avoid the fearsome tl;dr.)

Getting to the main point of the post: Miraluka hair options.

 

"Not the beard!"

As a male Miraluka, there is no option for a beard. However, you can find an unshaven look in certain complexions (i.e.: Complexion 6). Does the facial hair not grow? Surely it's not a problem to have both a mask and a beard for our visage?

This, paired with a lack of masks and the next point I'll bring up, has put me off from choosing a Miraluka. Which is unfortunate, as they're an interesting race, and more unique than a human.

 

"We don't have enough credits to style our hair. I think the stylist have a racial issue."

The above is an excerpt of an interview with a fashionable female in her young twenties looking to use her Force-affinity for good.

The Miraluka race can definitely grow hair. Then why are the options so limited compared to humans? (Although I understand how some hairstyles would be troublesome to combine with masks.) Leaving out the more punk and radical styles, there's only a handful decent ones to pick from. Human females have 44 as opposed to Miraluka women who get a mere 16. Males are about 27 to 20.

 

All in all, to end this (minimalization of the original) rant of mine, I find it quite unreasonable when compared to one another. The amount of players we'll see are so vast, that the customization options feel underwhelming (especially things that should be interchangeable like hair, cosmetics & accessories). Races like the Miraluka have a unique feature, there's no need to counterbalance that unique feature with lack of other options, is there?

And it seems (from reading around a bit) that there's no place to customize things like masks afterward when in-game? Quite a pity also.

 

That will be all! Please receive my gratitude for reading until here, and feel free to leave a post on the way out~

 

P.S.: Since there is no race-specific section on the forum, please do direct me to a proper place for this post if needed. I was doubting between this & Classses maybe?
