    PLEASE give highlander men eyebrows

    So we've now had Durante and Keshkwa who both use the male highlander model and have eyebrows, perfectly nice eyebrows that make them look like humans. It also shows that the devs CAN put eyebrows on these models, but for some reason just won't for players.

    Most people who play male highlanders use the eyebrow face paint, but the face paint hasn't been upscaled like the rest of the graphics so it looks muddy. The colours are also limited to mainly black, brown and blonde, which limits character creation choices.

    I know there's a lore point that they shave off their brows, but multiple player characters of other races are given the freedom to not stick to their established aesthetic lore. Giving highlander male players an eyebrow toggle is a small effort that would be a big benefit.

    I've been this long without them. I have no need of them! Eyebrows are just the mark of vanity :P

    My main character is a highlander and I've wanted proper eyebrows for him since I started playing.

    To add on to what you said about color limitations, all the face paint colors are pretty saturated which further limits the hair colors you can pair it with. Its quite the struggle to find the right hair color that kind of matches your brow face paint. The exact hue and tint or shade of your hair varies from hairstyle to hairstyle even with the same swatch, so if you decide to change your hair you have to go through the whole process of finding a matching color again. It makes an already sub-optimal solution even more annoying to deal with when you want to adjust your character's appearance. If we had real eyebrows as an option then we wouldn't have to deal with this nonsense.

    The viper mentor has eyebrows. At this point there's no excuse for them not to get the option.

    Eyebrows are for the weak.

    (Do make the eyebrow facepaint nicer though.)

    I had made a thread about this during the DT benchmark feedback, and while it got plenty of support in the replies, it unfortunately falls on deaf ears.

    The supposed lore has also been discussed enough, and it's tenuous at best. There's a reason that *some* Highlanders don't have eyebrows, but it's not an inherent genetic trait. SE obviously disregards it in their own NPC designs, and yet I genuinely don't think they care to even consider it from a player standpoint.

    But yes, please give us eyebrows or at the very least fix the face paint options.
