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

With a random chance of death if you're engaged in melee and have a big bushy beard or long flowing locks, it just says "You've been scalped/had the lower half of your face torn off."

For the record, I completely support longer hair in the character creator. For men too.

Remember that the purpose of this thread was specifically "feminine hairstyles", which is what I actually find silly.
(And if we are all being honest here, this thread is ACTUALLY someones excuse to complain about Cassandra.)

Oh, well, if thats actually the case, than my mistake.

EDIT:

Right, so if you could all just forget the confidence with which I spoke, that would be pretty great.

Thanks for the laugh.


Thiiiis. I'm 100% pro long hair in the CC. I'm fine with fashionable short hair, fancy up-dos... whatever. Characters should have hairstyles that reflect their personality and values. My problem is when threads like this pop up and pretend to be something they're not, which is essentially 'WHY CAN'T CASSANDRA BE SEXIER (to me specifically, bc my tastes reign supreeeeme). WHAT ABOUT MY BONER, BIOWARE.'

The problem isn't the question guy, that's valid(ish), it's the fact that you're making it in a thread that's not about it. Yah know, the wandering into a place clearly demarcated as having a conversation that's different from the one you're having part of the analogy?

For instance this thread is about whether "feminine long or short hairstyle be an inconvenience in battle" and not, say, 1) YEAH BUT ISN'T STEEL AGAINST MAGES TOO or 2) Do you think practicality should be a concern among fantasy RPGs, if yes to what degree and why? or 3) How is it possible to think something is an inconvenience while not suggesting it be removed or restricted, to which demon in the Ars Goetia did you sell your soul to gain access to this black magic?

You're clearly not getting it tho.

I forgive you because English isn't your first language. 

I know? This is what this entire conversation is about? It's why you're wrong.


Would you like to do yourself the favor of actually reading through this thread and engaging with the opinions found there instead of whatever motive and opinion you've decided to assign? Consistently people have expressed the opinion that, and I would like to stress again that this was the question asked, that they think a feminine hairstyle would be a inconvenience in battle, regardless of who it was on. The question was sure as shit not "DO YOU THINK IT'S THE PATRIARCHY IF WOMEN HAVE GIRLY HAIR IN GAME" which you seem to assume is the question people are answering when they say yes.

In actuality what people are expressing is that they think feminine hairstyles would be a bad idea in battle. The end. Further inferences on their motives for that answer says more about the social and political beliefs you are bringing to the table than anything they've said.

Bonus round: it's possible to note something is silly/impractical while not suggesting it be removed, see number 3 in my previous post and a number of the opinions available in this thread which often go directly against the idea of removing feminine hairstyles, regardless of whether or not the person thinks they're impractical. 


Again there are people from literally page one that mentioned long hair on men is impractical, that bushy, huge beards on dwarves are especially silly considering they fight darkspawn often and you wouldn't want an impediment to washing tainted blood off you.

I suppose the main draw in having a conversation no one else is having is getting to construct strawmen tho. 


Nah you lost me ages ago, English is my second language.

But this isn't going anywhere, peace. 

That's not acquiescing: that requires some amount of agreement. Fredward has neither conceded anything nor expressed any agreement with you.

1. The last words of Fredward's post is "This isn't going anywhere, peace." and the rest of it is them disagreeing with you in some form or another. That is not acquiescing. That is the opposite of acquiescing. The closest it is to some form of acceptance is agreeing to disagree and that is still not expressing agreement with you or your arguments. 

2. I disagree. For example, you argued that no one seems to have a problem with the big and long beards of the dwarves. Fredward pointed out that people on the first page of this thread brought it up.  

Yes, people like me, who appreciate "feminine" hairstyles, brought it up. No one who is against them ever provided an adequate answer for them.

You can't just say, "Look. People talked about that on the first page!" when everyone claiming long hair is impractical just ignored it and continued making asinine comments about how women should have short hair and everyone should like it.

It would be inconvenient, but the bigger inconvenience is the lack of a helmet. Or being a female warrior in the first place...

Look at how Atlus changed Princess Eruca!
