That art is cool but all I can think of when I look at it is "she must be cold". *hates being cold*

Well on that issue it's not so much about that but - granted this is in real life not videogames - soldiers tended to cut their hair (and facial hair) short so that if they lost their helmet, or didn't have one, the enemy couldn't simply grab hold of their hair because it would put them at a disadvantage.

A long ponytail swinging around can be a liability if someone grabs it and yanks hard.

Thats true, but a tight bun is acceptable to the military, right? Because it's very close to the scalp and can't be grabbed easily. Also, I'd rather someone with a sword grabbed my hair than swinging at me with said weapon. I might have a bald patch after, but atleast I'd be alive

Not if they grab you by the hair and slit your throat or something.

Yeah, she must be freezing.

Nowadays sure.  Back when hand to hand combat was the norm - and women being involved was extremely rare though not absolutely unheard of - haircuts would be closer to vanilla Commander Shepard than LadyHawke.  It probably wasn't some enforced dress regulation that led to it either, just practically not wanting to get your throat slit because someone grabbed your flowing locks from behind.

Anyway, I wasn't alive back then, so I'm just speculating.

This is not a personal attack, but a ponytail can be secured under, your "kevlar" helmet...
thus providing a snuggler fit.    Hence, providing a variety of
hairtyles, from bold to long stresses is the key here.

Not that I was talkin' about modern times.

And yeah, it is just a game.  I'm going to give my female toons long hair.   Heck even my male Warden had fairly long hair.  It's not a particular concern of mine, really.  Just rambling.

As a woman whose had both short hair and long hair, I actually think long hair works better in exercise situations.

The post above specfically mentions if they lose their helmet. Now, take this to apply to DA, especially, when helmets are buckets for your head.

Dude, she looks like she's wear you as a blanket. And not in a fun way.

Long hair + blood spatter + blood clotting ~= Long hair + bubble gum popping + bubble gum sticky.

Yeah,  in modern military. In middle ages nobody cared about hairdo in army. In Sparta all soliders had long hair, it was a symbol of manhood and social status.

It seems that ponytail grabbing isn't such big threat after all : P

She wont die of cold since she has her furry wolf by her side. Also,spending most of her life in a cold environment she developed some kind of natural resistance like the eskimos. She also looks very able. So much so that could easily own male Hawke in an armwrestle match.

You don't have to move in a certain direction simply because someone grabs your hair. You can resist until the hair breaks and leaves you with aforementioned bald patch. Regardless, I would see a bun working much better than a long pony tail.

That Guild Wars 2 pic reminds me of Keaira from Age of Conan:



/noteworthy only for being hot and absolutely destroying your party if you sass her during a quest dialogue
//also she lives in a treehouse
///Cimmerians are more bad ass than anything in Thedas

I've noticed some women have trouble finding a kevlar that fits comfortably because of the bun. 

Thought I'm not sure how big a problem that would be though in Ye Old Times when armor wasn't manufactured.

The Army's current gen kevlar has is much more adjustable for this. Personally, I hate them. I like the ones a few years ago where I could rest the edge of it on my rifle and shoot perfectly. Now I have to worry about "muscle memory" and good posture.

I doubt this practice applies to LadyHawke however.

[namedforthemoon]

From what I can see, I think she looks a bit like Morrigan. But I like her. I think I'll play her the first time through without any tweaks.



Good job, Bioware! (Now can we see some official screens, please?)
