Wow. Your Lavellan looks amazing! 

Alright...I haven't looked in a couple days so here is a big art post. Sunny might have posted some of these already.

... The most hilarious thing about this joke is that we can pretty genuinely say that Solas (and likely any other Evanuris) has a fursona 

Would have put Leliana as a Ravenclaw (intelligence) and Sera as a Hufflepuff (excellent finder).

If you want to look on the plus side... as the only two people on this thread (or anywhere it seems) to have used that hairstyle for Lavellan, we now have enough people to start a club if we wanted to?

(Everyone else always goes for the long hair parted on one side. It might look more "Elfy", but I can't see it and not think of Skrillex)

Two people? I'm the only one that has that particular hair mod. Or were you just referring to the base unmodded hair?

I think that's either Carver or an OC. At least I assumed it is, because I can't imagine anyone looking at Cassandra and thinking "Yeah, she'd fit in great with Slytherin." 

Granted, I didn't think anyone could look at Sera and think that either...

I never use long hair.  Know why?  CAUSE CLIPPING CAN KISS MY ASS.  That's why.  

On hairstyles, I went for that short, sweptback style for my female Lavellan. I wasn't really happy with any of the hair styles and feel that many of them didn't really fit the medieval setting. That applies whether male or female and of course the styles were unisex in DAI. You'd need modern cutting, styling and even hair gel to achieve some of them. Too many variations on bald and buzz cut too.

I wish they'd kept the styles they had in DAO and DA2. I think it was right that some styles were exclusively male or female because it went with the setting and some just look better on one gender. I liked the braided style that Merrill used but also the long, unkempt look that I used for my city elf. With my female Hawke I changed her hairstyle several times to fit with her going from refugee, to mercenary to noble with the money to pay for fancy hairstyles.

Alin Lavellan (naive and gentle Solasmancer): Hufflepuff
Auren Lavellan (bad ass murder machine): Gryffindor
Talan Lavellan (king of bad jokes): Hufflepuff
Pell Lavellan (Bullmancing mage too curious and clever for his own good): Ravenclaw

As for the companions/advisors...

Cullen: Gryffindor
Josephine: Ravenclaw
Leliana: Ravenclaw
Dorian: Ravenclaw
Vivienne: Slytherin
Solas: Ravenclaw
Cassandra: Gryffindor
Blackwall: Gryffindor
Bull: Ravenclaw
Sera: Gryffindor
Varric: The hat would suggest Ravenclaw but he'd pick Gryffindor
Cole: Hufflepuff

Aveline: Gryffindor
Carver: Gryffindor
Fenris: Ravenclaw (probably controversial...)
Isabela: Slytherin
Zevran: Slytherin (throwing him in there)
Bethany: Hufflepuff
Anders: Hufflepuff (he's a healer...)
Merrill: Ravenclaw


Thedas isn't medieval Europe though. Maybe they've created gels; maybe they have plants and minerals we don't. They didn't evolve from the same cultures we did and don't have the same societal norms (i.e. women must be delicate and beautiful). So personally I'm all for mohawks and undercuts and whatever people want to do with their characters. I've not encountered a lore-specific reason why this isn't possible.

As for unisex hairs, again, I've never seen a good argument against it. If players didn't like the options (me included) the solution isn't to go back to gendered hair options, because believe me, those things sucked on male characters, too LOL The solution is just BETTER HAIR, which BioWare seems incapable of doing. It's not even merely a technical issue; they literally seem to have no idea what "good hair" looks like. This seems goofy to suggest, but I really think they should consult with several stylists for their next games. Some of the hair options they've put are laughably old-fashioned (like 70s and 80s styles) and... I almost feel sorry for them.
