After 6 pages of talking about how nobody would respect a Shepard with long hair you drop this bomb on me? You just made a terrible enemy today viggorrah

Anybody who can save the galaxy in hot pink armor and not give a f*ck doesn't need your guddamn respect, Obli, because he's already GOD TIER.

@HolyAvenger : I don't get it either.

Like I said it's not like Anderson or Kaidan will suddenly be flipping their hair like they're on a model shoot.

Plus...do you really want to risk laughing at renedouche? There's a 90% chance you end up getting punched in the face...at best.

Hah! I had a MG1 hotter than her in my squad. Only competent female combat soldier I've ever met. And yes, she cut her hair short!

Come on, you know how the internet works. Pics or bust

I don't have a pic in my comp I'll link you to a vid of the old platoon instead.

should spot her in there

Sorry, couldn't see her. Mostly because I was too distracted by the awesome vid. Nice job, wish I spoke Norwegian to understand what was going on lol

Have people in this thread really been saying that hair options - which they would never have to see - would destroy their immersion?

Do you actually mean that flipping through the options at the character creation screen would ruin ME for you?

Also, requoting this.

That isn't the only reason. The books I mentioned also state that having long hair and beards is part of the incognito way of not looking like an obvious soldier.

True, but when you're dealing with aliens who cares? I honestly can't tell one Turian from another for example.

Fair enough. But you'd be surprised at how observant some people (or aliens for that matter) can be and are trained to be. Let say the turians are looking for a group of humans (in a Hypothetical ground war) who are using guerrila tactics on some Planet that for some strange reason (bear with me) has a mixed population of Turians, Humans and other Aliens. You would need to be capable of at least trying to figure out in numerous ways how they can blend in while at the same time blend so you aren't discovered to be a part of a military force. Not looking like an obvious soldier would be very helpful in concealing yourself from more observant eyes. 

To Respond to your earlier point:
As far as N7 equating to Rangers/ RMC or USMC Force Recon. There is nothing in game (that I can recall) in their doctrine that states nor implies this. Those units often work in much larger groups. (platoon/battalion level) I have yet to even see in game or even slight implications that N7s work in forces that large. They are always fire team sized forces mentioned.

@viggorrah - maybe he means he's "terrible at being an enemy"?

Maybe that means.... he's a friend?

God... long hair Shepard, save me!

You know, N7 isn't even a unit designation, it's a competence indicator

"The Alliance Military Vocational Code system classifies the career path
of all serving personnel. The MVC consists of one letter and one number.
A soldier's MVC indicates proficiency, not rank. The letter notes
career path; the number indicates level of experience, as indicated by
service record, technical scores, and commendations. All 26 letters are
used, and numbers run from 1 to 7. N is the letter code for Special Forces "

@Slidell505: Thanks for clearing that up.

Wait.. does your avatar have long hair? SCANDELOUS

[Ryzaki]

Indeed. I'd say it's worse for a DAO fighter (considering he/she is pretty much a general by end game (well Commander of the Grey anyway and the Wardens act like a privatized military in some instances.) to have long hair because he/she is almost always fighting mano-o-mano in close quarters (unless the avatar's an archer or a mage). So they have the same practicality reasons as Shep not to have long hair. (don't want icky stuff getting in it, easier to take care of (heck they'd have a much much harder time keeping their hair clean and well kept than Shep would), less vulnerability for enemies to exploit, so on).

True, in that scenario it would be helpful to blend in. But during the First Contact War neither side was concerned over civilian casualties as the Turians only beilieve in total war. Since then there have been no instances of (direct) military conflict with any party aside from batarians, who also practice total war. So yes, in a scenario where one side or another is interested in avoiding civilian casualties blending in would be helpful, but as that scenario has yet to occur it cannot be used to describe why it makes sense to have military personnel with long-esque hair.

As for your second paragraph: It is true. You and I are both equally blind in trying to give a real-life comparison to the N7 and, possibly, both equally wrong. I'm making my assumption off what I have heard of N7 missions, basically that they do deep insertion (Mass Effect 2 news report that a team of N7 marines were dropped in Batarian space from a Normandy class stealth vessel), Search & Destroy (Shepard's Sole Survivor background and Mass Effect Revelations) and Assault (Shepard's Ruthless background). With the exception of Operation Neptune Tier 1 units aren't known for Search & Destroy and Assault missions since that falls in the category of light infantry.
