[Request] Can we have more race-specific hairstyles?

It's pretty simple, actually. The numbers (3-4 styles versus 40+ styles) were just to show that there are significantly more neutral styles ("per race") than there are race-based styles. As for the maths, all I'm saying is that instead of 10+ general hairstyles per year, they could do 7+ general hairstyles alongside with 2-3 race hairstyles per year. So, in one patch it might be 2 general hairstyles or it might be 1 general hair style + 1 race specific hairstyle (with the former being more common). The specific-race style they present that patch would pertain to one race, of course. It's okay for races to take turns, and it's perfectly okay for people to share resources.

Needless to say, how SE would actually execute (if they ever executed) it is up to them. Believe it or not, we don't know how SE works and we can't control SE to work by our list of steps (i.e. "add to the most deficient races first and then you may add to the rest") or by our agendas because we really don't know how it works. My concern is not to fill up the gaps, but just to include more for each race just like more neutral hairstyles. The only race that probably don't need more "race/tribe/whatever styles" are midlanders because all of the general styles pretty much fit the bill for them.

So, in short: I'm not bothering to get into the nitty gritty like that. All I'm saying is in theory, the numbers say it's possible without sacrificing the continuation of general hairstyles that everyone wants and if - in theory - SE went by my formula, general hairstyles would still be prioritised by over 70%, which I think is more than fair.

Instead of locking hairstyles for the sake of "making them look good". Why not make hairstyles for a certain race but also wearable by others? I could never understand the whole "uniqueness" argument when if everyone in a race wore the new style they'd all look the same?

Am I the only one who hated school uniforms growing up or something?

Think elves from Lord of the Ring. Even fashion and make-up styles are different among real countries. In Japan, the liked fashion is a covered top for girls (so no exposed shoulders/chest for the most part) but they can expose a lot of leg. Meanwhile, it's pretty much the reverse in the US.

As for uniforms...-sighs- Considering this is a game, there will be hundreds of people who have the same hairstyle as your character, same colour as well so I don't really understand this argument. Is it bad for Domans to wear kimono and yukata? Is that too uniform, too? Or is that acceptable because it's somehow different? (It's not. It's cultural.) Think of tribal/race hair as yukata. It's just a representation of that clan's origins. People don't have to use them, that's what we have 40+ other styles for.


And I am still debating hair. /sighs/ I'm just gonna go back to doodling.
