Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

But right now? The selection is already so bare bones, if they were to take this into account as well we'd be even more limited in the sort of styles we would potentially get access to.

That's my thing. I don't think it would be "more limited", just more unique and they'd actually seem like race-specific Viera hairstyles that they put effort and thought into.

Viera hair already has a lot of weird little quirks like a wildly inconsistent hairline shape and forehead size.

That's not a Viera problem, it's a whole-game problem. The standard hairstyles vary a lot too - they're either not paying attention to it or they're deliberately going for variety over consistency.

I honestly don't think the character designers think about the one character constantly changing hairstyles, but rather the idea that you build your character and stick to it. It would certainly explain the approach to Hrothgar not prioritising hairstyle changeability over the variety of fur patterns.
