Hair in Andromeda

that'll depend on th eenvironment as I doubt we'd have to wear a helmet on every mission if we don't want to. It's possible they just had the toggle helmet to on with th eexception of cutscenes or something and just left it off for the bit leading to the sloan Kelly scene so they could show off the hair physics. They have done shoulder length hair before obviously with Miranda and Ashley and given us shoulder length options ibn DA2 with our Hawke and that game also had limited hair physics as well. The hair physics may be limited to just when you run or move. But at least it is an improvement on DAI. I am curious as to what styles we'll get to pick from though. Unfortunately I don't think we will know until the game releases. As for the physics disappearing in the cutscenes it might be a limitation of the  engine but I will asy I think based on what I've seen MEA is definitely a step forward on DAI so all good so far. So long as they look like they'er making steps forward as it appears here from game to game then I think we should be happy. DAI was very basic with the hair and for me it was one of it's major shortcomings. It looks at leas t like they're tryin t olearn from the mistakes there as I have to admit whilst I'm not that keen on her face and would definitely redesign that in the CC to be a little more like the character's I've made in DAI. I do like her hairstyle and would consider using it on one of my heroes at some point.

Considering the default protagonist's hair would be the... flagship of the game then it's a safe assumption they will look average at best.

Maybe not but in the case of Sloane  based on the trailer though it sounds like Sloane likes it rough longer hairstyles don' t seem t work well with people that are like that I don't think. In the situation with our protag we getto choose how we want to act within reason so hopefully we'll have the kind of hairstyles we want that suits the way we want to play our heroes (or at least have a wide enough range). Also with hair looking plasticky as some have been saying I think that's a problem with the engine they're using I think not so much Bioware themselves. But yes I believe it is a step forward atm anyway.

That's all I was referring too it's a step up from DAI I think because they set themselves a pretty low bar to get over with on DAI partly I think because it was their first game on this engine. If it is similar to DA2 level then great as that had a few nice hairstyles so Bioware has shown they can make some nice styles when they put the effort in. I would be content if they just gave us more of that really then it would be good. Plus the ME original trilogy hair despite the lack of selection wasn't that bad as I've found myself using most of the options at one time or another. As long as it is a step up from DAI which I think it will be because of the DAI bar being so low I'l be happy and I think most others will too.

From what I have observed, the hair physics are similar to Battlefront.

In Battlefront, when one combat rolls, jumps, falls down, or just runs around in general, hair moves in a smilar fashion. I am really not complaining. The similarities just caught my eye.

When it comes to hair in Mass Effect, my only concern is the lack of options for a character.

Going though a lot of threads. Can someone ask at pax

I actually do remember something like that, that there will be quite a few beards

That certainly might be possible considering ew did see Sara's pomytail hair move as she was running in the game trailer. Though I'm not counting 100% on it though.

Bsn had their every second thread filled with "Bioware!! We want better hair!!!!" Titles.... So... I have a tiny little bitty suspicion that Bioware might have gotten the hint and worked on it. But then again..... this is EAWARE we're talking about lol, so we'll never know but as someone above me mentioned, Sarah had a flowing ponytail in the trailer... we might be lucky this time 

Hair will forever be an issue in every game, even with TressFX and Hairworks. Hair is hard.

We need a character that is not a part of any strict program / chain of command, then they can grow out their hair and beard however they like. But it seems like every game we are playing the ''sir yes sir'' kind of character so the limited hair / beard options make sense.
