Yeah, it did bother me for a while, a huge part of why I went with Highlander when I started was that Midlanders... The best way I can put is that they look like 15 year olds or younger depending on the face. However, looking like a Neanderthal quickly drained the appeal of staring at my character in cutscenes, now I am betting all my hopes on the Midlander stubble, lol.

But yeah, I have a really hard time making a decent looking male character and the lack of beard is definitely up there when it comes to reasons.
