Would a feminine long or short hairstyle be an inconvenience in battle?

I don't kno wexactly but seeing as it's in the DA forum I approached it from the games perspective.

How disappointed I am to have missed this.

'it's science'

Oh come on now.

Not defending boob plate, but I don't think completely flat armour would be great either. Just looking at the picture above makes my boobs hurt. Cassandra's armor was perfect in this regard, imo.

 I have very long "white" hair but I've never had a problem with my hair being "unstable", and I don't use any supporting products.

If an enemy got close enough to grab someone's braid, then he could also grab a short bob or a pixie cut. Even very long hair can be pulled in a bun or braided close to head, a la Anora's buns. I would prefer a larger variety to hair choices - from bald, to medium, to long and ridiculous (I don't mind the clipping, personally). Whether someone wants to be super "realistic" or just to look pretty, there should be an option - it's a fantasy game, not a documentary. I wouldn't play any video game with a CC for "realistic" looking characters - If I'm going to spend ~100 hours playing as this hero, I at least want her to be nice to look at. DAI's CC is fine overall, aside from the hair and eyebrow options, maybe lashes too. Before I got the mods, I spent more time than I'm willing to admit on making my character as pretty as she could possibly be and she still ended up looking like a foot. I was still pretty pleased with her until I got some mods - amazing what a difference can some decent eyebrows make.

Oh I don't know about that as I don't think they did a bad job with MEA's hair in fact it's probably one of the few things that didn't go wrong with the game. For example I quite like the bouncy ponytail for example that the MP female human Adept has and have used it on a couple of my Ryders and in fact I'm thinking about using it again on my next one.

Okay, so, slightly tangential, but speaking of long hair-related things, and practicality, and such things, I have a serious question.
About this:

That braid, to me, just feels so...out of character, for Cassandra. Like, it looks like it must be a ton of work. Does she twist that into position every day? Or does she just leave it to get gross? Either way, I just don't see why she would put that kind of effort into putting up with it.

On her tarot cards, the braid is silver. Dunno what that means but it's interesting nonetheless:

Yeah, that is interesting. Maybe it's meant to be a headband, but it's a limitation on the way hair is rendered in the game. Because that would make a lot more sense, I suppose. As it is, if it is meant to be hair, it just seems like such a poor choice for her, to me.

Well, not Super Mario, but ...

Except the context for this conversation concerns long hair on women in particular. It's in the title and everything. It's not an open door invitation to discuss every permutation of impracticality in fantasy games, though feel free to make that thread and then invite people to expound on potentially incongruous attitudes. If you rent out a lecture hall and you hang up signs at the doors that read "Problems facing US democracy" and you enter and ask "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE EU THO" you're not making a point, you're having an off-topic conversation.

But I'm guessing English is your second language so I'll let it slide.

The idea of wearing your own hair as a little crown out of sentimentality is extremely, extremely weird.
