Just a minimal effort all around.

    Obligatory Charr > Hrothgar:

    I mean, we already know they stepped back from their original intent, like, massively. We went from "this race will have exclusive hairstyles due to their head shape" to "this race will have no additional hairstyles at all whatsoever" to "you will have hairstyles, but no ears cuz coding is hard" to now where we just get modern human hairstyles like everybody else, even if 8/10 look objectively bad... the devs didn't bit more than they could chew, they tried to go full Kirby and choked.

    All that said, at least they realized their mistake and are progressively making up for it.

    so apparently the only option that doesn't "stress the newbies" is either pressing 1211111111, or do nothing at all.

    Plus the hairstyles actually work this time. Or at least Squall's, that one feels natural as hell on a Hrothgar.

    Have you seen the backside of it? The one you are currently wearing is probably one if not the only non-hrothgar hairstyle that works on them. The rest all looks so bad.

    Actually, given how that hairstyle has a "pointy" backside there's a chance it would accomodate perfectly to the hunch. Normally a hairstyle like that isn't my cup of tea but I've been pleasantly surprised before so crossing my fingers.

    I quite like this one, tbh! I even have it on my Hrothgar retainer at the moment. I think it makes them look younger as if they haven't let their mane/beard fully grow in yet. Ironic considering it looks absolutely cursed as all hell on almost everyone else.

    The hair makes the best "young adult" look for Hrothgar. The other one is that one hairstyle...I forget what it's called, the one Zlatan has.
