Bonzenaattori Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I'm gonna keep this short because, I want to. Noticing Vaylin's rather... ...interesting attire design, I couldn't help but ponder if this is something Bioware and the devs would care enough to notice or think about. Vaylin's robe, shows her long hair, despite the hood, and as we're all currently aware of, the current hooded/robe designs are lazy and arbitrarily show your character with no hair (bald headed if you play with the camera). It begs the question: Can we hope for a redesign on PREVIOUS hood/robes to display hairstyles (perhaps even cue for new hairstyles in 4.0) whilst wearing the hood?

khelari Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I imagine if they release that for players we'll get that robe with that hair and it will hide any other hairstyle we actually have on the character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hmm... interesting. Is this a bad place to drop a request for a hood toggle? Also is there anyway we can get Vaylin as a companion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember Captain Orzik? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Revinal_Orzik He has hair under the cap. Both Vaylin and Orzik are NPCs with their specific models having hair under the hood/cap. Players won't be getting hair under hoods in 4.0 Edited October 2, 2015 by PavSalco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branmakmuffin Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 No, player characters will never show hair while wearing headgear that covers more than the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavantDreadtech Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Old ones very doubtful, new one maybe. A fair talking point but if you are expecting an answer to this, there is not one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsKNives Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Doubtful. They would need to create a separate version of each hair style that goes under a hood so that it doesn't look bad. Or at least a selection of ones for under the hood that it would default to. But even if they did that, it wouldn't necessarily work for every hood style since they don't all have the same dimensions. So they'd have to do this many times to ensure they work with every one of the hood styles. That's a lot of work just to show a bit of hair under your hood. Hoods that mostly cover your head anyway. There's a reason that many games I've played with hoods just make your character bald. That said, if they were able to at least put some hair there it'd be a nice improvement. I don't use hooded robes very often because of this, I don't like that it makes my characters bald. Maybe they could do something like as long as you had some kind of hair (not bald) it would default to a cropped cut that would fit under most things, just to give your character some hair while wearing hoods/hats.

Sobekeus Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I don't want to see hair until it doesn't look like anime concrete hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rankyn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 There's a big difference between static NPC appearance and what can be done with player characters. Unless they drastically re-do player models (don't hold your breath), the best you will EVER see is a hat or hood that includes hair rather than displaying yours under it. Now, that being said, it would be cool if they gave us such a hat with sort of generic hair on it that dyed the color of the hair the same color as our character's hair.

GRIDBUG Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 On a similar note, why do some of the NPC's have better hairstyles than the ones we're able to give our characters? Is it really that difficult to port them over to our toons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with old or new hoods or hats, it has to do with character hair. Unless they made a hat and/or a hood that had some kind of generic hair built into it. But people would hoot about that just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
