Highlander Eyebrows - 7.0 Graphics

[Darkstride]

In case anyone didn't know, male Highlanders can't have eyebrows. The eyebrow option only changes brow shape, but they are hairless in all choices. The only way to have brows since launch is to use the makeup option amd essentially paint them on. For the most part, this has been sufficient.

I'm trying to remake my character in the Benchmark, and now the makeup option looks ridiculous. It arches more upward and almost gives a suprised face. I'm going to have to either settle for no brows at all or change to another model, which I really don't want to do. I love how my character looks.

Please just give Highlanders actual eyebrows. A single option would be adequate. It's a real bummer.

Edit: it doesn't look as bad during the actual benchmark, so maybe I jumped the gun. But in the character creation his face looked quite different with a raised brow. The upgraded graphics does also make it more apparent that it's makeup rather than hair, though, so I'd still like even just 1 option for real brows.

Lack of eyebrows is single-handedly the only reason why I don't play male Highlander.

I have character appearance saved in the character creator, and even used it for some time, but just didn't look right.

I'm with you, man. The face paint option has helped up to this point but it already looks rough any time the camera gets close to my character. It's only gonna look rougher in comparison as everything gets crisper after the update. I tried the benchmark today myself and I was also pretty bummed with how it looked.

I feel like the game is long past the point where the lore can explain male highlander players not having the option to use eyebrows. We've seen two highlander characters appear in the story with eyebrows. We've also seen highlanders from a huge variety of cultures and I simply find it hard to believe a practice like shaving eyebrows would be followed ubiquitously across all of them.

I'm sure you're not alone. I bet a lot of people would give highlanders a try if they could use eyebrows. They're pretty much the only medium build male character model.

I don't know a single dadlander that doesn't either use the face paint or wear glasses/shades to cover them up. They gave Hrothgar eyebrows mid expansion and Midlander even got a whole new face to go around the face limitations, I don't see why it'd be that hard to do the same for Highlanders given SE themselvs avoid not giving them brows. They know people want them.

Even the lore reason is dumb. All Ala mhigans are Highlanders, not all Highlanders are Ala mhigan. The player Highlander could've been born in Doma for all everyone knows.

The main issue I have is that they changed the placement of the makeup option, so it sits differently on their eyebrows. I had gotten used to it, but now in the Benchmark creator it looks almost comical. During the Benchmark itself, it's less notable because the character actually has facial expressions, but head-on with a blank face, the eyebrow makeup looks so much more out of place than it ever did.

There's another thread someone posted that shows the makeup doesn't even align with Elezen eyebrows anymore either, so it's not just my eyes deceiving me.

Embrace your lack of eyebrows. Vanity need not control you.

There is no reason anymore to not give highlander their eyebrows. Paint is too pale now, look somewhat higher on the forehead as well? Not to mention any color of paint other than black is very sketchy because hair color is duller than the more vibrant paint color.

Edit: and thus the face paint option is freed! We can then customize more i.e. adding eyeshadow, blush, or that goddamn warpaint.

And I bet, when DT comes, that certain male highlander with eyebrow will get eyebrow lift while we as player still left without eyebrows. How is that even fair?

I support the Highlanders getting actual eyebrows.

FemHroth can have eyebrows. Why can't basic dudes.
