Hair in Andromeda

Can we start complaining how the male options don't have enough long hair styles? 

The female cc's hair just seems to look a lot better in general. Like, even the textures look nicer. They don't get afros tho for some reason.

Sure thing. 

The male options don't have enough long hair styles, Bioware. 

I didn't see any longer hair yet, just a ponytail. Did we get anything new? I don't always get to see it as it comes out, maybe I've missed it?

True to BSN..... Always finding SOMETHING to complain about.....

?? What the hell does a black / asian person sound like? And I'm talking about black or asian persons born in an english-speaking country like the US, Canada, UK etc. They sound the same as anyone else. I cannot count the number of times I've spoken to someone over the phone for interviews (I used to be a news reporter), only to meet them sometime in person later on and realize "Ah, this person happens to black (or asian or middle eastern etc)"... they sound the same as a white person, assuming they grew up in the same country.

Are black people supposed to sound like they come out of the ghetto or something? Look at Liam.. voiced by Gary Carr (a black gentleman).. yet if I heard that voice without seeing his face I'd just as easily assumed he was a white Aussie (or Brit).

I've interacted with thousands upon thousands of people in my career, from all walks of life... and there is no "type" of voice associated to one ethnic group over another when they all hail from the same place. Can I spot a Japanese born person who is speaking english by the sound of their voice? Sure.. but that's because of accent.. not voice.. it has nothing to do with his being east-asian, but because of his native language. Transplant him to the US as a baby and he'll sound the same as any white person born and raised in the US.

Seriously, people need to step out into the goddamn world more and actually TALK to people.. the level of stereotype and ignorance some people have is mind boggling.

Relax. just saying Ive never heard any black person that sounds the least like Tom Taylorson as Ryder.

Its totoally possible there exists such persons, but ive never heard of them.

This is spot on. Hair is incredibly hard to get right in video games. It requires a lot of effort and time, which is something BioWare doesn't really have a lot of when creating vast open world games. Games like Rise of the Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4 are bad examples because those are linear experiences that focus on very few characters for extreme detail. The Witcher 3 is also another poor example because everyone is forced to play as Geralt, not to mention CDPR partnered with Nvidia in order to simulate the hair physics in TW3, which is incredibly demanding on your PC.

At some point BioWare may tackle this hurdle, but hair is just one of those things that's an absolute nightmare for development. It's far too complex and oftentimes it never looks good or realistic. With how many options BioWare needs to provide, it's just easier to stick with shorter hair. Not to mention, the player will have a helmet on half the game anyway.

I live in Nordic countries, we have a very homogenic culture here made of mainly caucasians, not alot of africans or black people.

Yes thank you...

honestly compare this...
