Thread: Highlander Eyebrows - 7.0 Graphics

Is there an actual lore reason for male highlanders not have eyebrows...??? I mean female highlanders have eyebrows...
I feel like lore should only apply to NPC characters...The standard should be to have eyebrows and a feature/option to shave them off! Not the other way around. Eyebrows add alot of expression/character to a face.

Whenever I see anyone without eyebrows I can't help but think of Marilyn Manson.

Supposedly it's to make them look more intimidating? But I can't find a source on that anywhere so I'm not sure if it was serious or more of a joke response, it may have been said in a Q&A or interview long ago and that stuff tends to get lost eventually.

Either way, if it's not something they will get around to adding before launch then hopefully they will consider adding it after. It's been long enough.

Dunno if there is a serious deep lore reason (I've heard about the shaving), but there *is* a reason: they were designed that way. Highlander men have deep-set eyes and pronounced brow ridges, enough that they do not suffer in expressiveness for the lack of eyebrows. It seems to be a racial trait rather than a cultural one.

Hell, I didn't notice Raubhan's lack of eyebrows for months. One of my friends didn't notice mine until I pointed it out. I like it though, it's a little different but it works. I do hope they do something about the "got into the Black Mage's makeup drawer" eyebrow option so it looks less goofy so that people who want their Highlander men to have eyebrows don't have to paint them on with a mop, though.
