We will see all the great hair physics and then it will all go into the toilet when they have to account for hair clipping in environments and helmets and such.

How much effort did it take for Blackwalls beard? There’s only a handful of npcs in the game that have beards and none with the quality? Do we know if his beard was created by a special artist 👩🎨 r a f the brought in someone from another design team

I want dreads and cornrows that actually look like cornrows. Moar hair that isn't straight.

Perhaps redemption is at hand... www.ea.com/frostbite/news/frostbite-hair-rendering-and-simulation"One of the guiding principles of Frostbite is to be at the forefront of real-time technology. We try to constantly push the limits of what current hardware is capable of. As an example of this, we'll be sharing an in-depth view into one area of our research: hair rendering and simulation.
Our purpose is to produce a step change in real-time hair and reach results close to movie and offline rendering. Starting last year, a small group of frostbite physics and rendering engineers have been working on pushing this technology forward, and, while we still have quite a lot of work ahead of us, we're proud of what we achieved..."That looks like the ends of an old straw broomstick, or a woman who has dry, split ends. Hair rendering and simulation is only difficult when you have mega nerds with no outside stimuli for inspiration. FFS.

www.artstation.com/artwork/588ZVEArtist who did hair for the Assassins Creed: Odysseys. Those are really good hair styles and quality, if the hair quality was at least close to that in the next DA game I would be happy. She did the main character hairs too.

Honestly as long as you give me a good variety of hairstyles, I don't care how high definition and realistic it looks.

So many balding options. Couple of good ponytails can't be that hard to make, or just more braids, if they felt it wasn't realistic to have long flowing hair.

I don't think realistic has anything to do with it, but rather the issue of clipping and long, untied hair looking really bad if it has absolutely no movement. But seriously, they should hire Sims 4 modders to just make the hair. No other game has given me better (male) hair options (by modders, and the base game ain't too shabby itself)

I'd like nice-looking hair - or at least better than DAI hair - but it's more important (to me) that they have a good variety of styles. Like not fifty shades of bald. Modders often bring nice hairstyles but many times they look a little too modern to me and if not modern, then way too shiny and perfect for a world without hairspray and hair blowers.
I would also like it if they kept sideburns as a separate slider because several styles looked strange on my female characters because of this (and because of a receding hairline). If it's a separate slider, people can choose if they want sideburns or not.

Those are really good hair styles and quality, if the hair quality was at least close to that in the next DA game I would be happy. She did the main character hairs too. Agreed - hair (for PCs/Major NPCs) in AC is amazing, arguably the best in gaming, the trade-off being they don't have the variety of options we have in BW games. But landing as a next-gen title, DA4 should have some breathing room here for high fidelity hair. Assuming they have the resources to put towards this...

Yep its a tech demo, we've had all that even before we had chips what we call these days GPU's. Now, the question is, do you want this level hair but almost everything else downscaled?

Hair is obviously difficult for Devs. I'd like some epic hair but it's something I can live without if the effort is better spent elsewhere. Yeah the good news is things are getting better in terms of hair in games and easier t omanage I think. Lara's hair in Tomb Raider is a good example of that though I have t oadmit I don't think Biowaer did a bad job with it in Andromeda so there is definitely hope there as for me it's one of the things they did get right.

They should focus on having better hairstyles before putting fancy physics on them imo, DAI has 27 hairstyles and 12 of them are bald/balding/fuzz, and only about half of the rest actually look alright. Same for eyebrows, there's a few types that look like different kinds of normal eyebrows and the rest is caveman variations. I don't play male characters but I imagine the beards and mustaches aren't any better.

Though that doesn't really help on consoles.

Is this great irony that we're finally getting hair in Solas age? My continuing headcanon is that spirits have just as much trouble “rendering” hair as game engines do. It explains why lots of ancient elves are bald, desire demons end their heads in purple flames, and Cole essentially glued a hat on his head.
