Whoops, double post.

The pantslessness mainly bothered me because Isabela's curvy enough that a thigh is gap is unlikely if she were real and chub rub on the beach is no joke.

Chub rub on the beach?

If your thighs touch (which is the vast majority of women at every size, it's just part of the whole hips kit and caboodle) and you walk for a long time, you can get chafing. Add sand into that equation.

Sera looks cool, but something about her hair is just REALLY off. I don't know why, just something about the hair graphics just clashes with the rest of her. Real uncanney valley going on there.

 

Probably looks better in motion.

That sounds like a terrible mixed drink.

Highly doubtful seeing as they gave her that terrible haircut because of the immobile hair causing clipping issues. Makes sense that NO ONE in the Inquisition has long hair...

Didn't a dwarf they made to show off the CC option have a long braid? Or was that not actually made with the CC

I bounced professionally for 5 years with hair long enough that I could, and often did, sit on it. It never got in my eyes in a fight situation bad enough that I was blinded, and I never actually ate any of it in a fight either. The only downside to longer hair would have been if I'd been tender headed, since big tough biker guys seem to like to pull hair like a girl in a fight. I guess, if I'd just let it hang like a mop the whole time I grew it out, maybe? But since I brushed it daily and "trained" it where to hang, I never had any real issues with it, other than the aforementioned potential weapon thing. I did, nowever, tie it up in 17 evenly spaced hair ties before riding my own M/C, otherwise it took me 2 hours to get the windrats out.

 

And see that's where it's ok.

 

I'm not saying having long hair and being a fighter isn't impossible, it's just bloody impractical. Even you said you had to brush it daily and 'train' it. I had long hair when I was younger too and I had to do the same thing, even with shoulder length hair, I'm constantly told I need to maintain it and as a busy college student, I'm just like '**** that'.

 

Let's also keep in mind that this is a medieval setting, where bathing daily was a luxury as would constantly maintaining your hair.

 

More buns/ponytail options would be appreciated though.

And hair tied half back like Geralt.

^I don't consider brushing daily extreme high maintenance. Only with really short hair you can get away with rolling straight out of bed and being done with it.

Best character design so far he actually has some presence about him.

That helmet makes him look like he's thinking "OMG BEE JUST LANDED ON MY NOSE."

Plus, you know, medieval European people (who were the only non-bathers in that period, let's be honest. that's why we defeated civilizations with horrible disease) had pretty dang long hair, poor or rich and man or woman.

 

Being accurate with a super-short cut is relatively recent.

Women in the Middle Ages, granted this is a generalization even though found to be historically accurate, wore their hair at what is often called "natural length". That being almost to the hips. Wearing hair free meaning not in braids or buns was uncouth. Also bathing was not as difficult as implied.

As for the spread of disease, viruses make no distinction between a clean person or a dirty one. Even a clean person can contract bacterial infections. Also no matter what your state of cleanliness or health if you're a carrier then you're a carrier.

Good point really.. But Isabela does have very wide hips and low fat quotient. I think she's plausible. Kirkwall's a warm, wet climate, too.

Training long hair really doesn't require any particular extra effort, though. Natural, habitual motion (just brushing it back with your hands) will do it, and necessary care comes down to brushing and bathing normally. The rest is cosmetic. Now what would be cool is if over time between hubs, your hair built up a more oily texture like your clothes collect dirt and blood now. Just more simulated realism. I'd like it.

Women in the middle ages also didn't really fight.

 

And I wasn't even talking about disease, just general maintenance.

Which people who have the long hair are telling you is really not an issue. Soap and oil were the original shampoo and conditioner, brushing your hair even of the worst rat's nest takes like 5 minutes at the most, and you can tie it up to keep it out your face.

 

you know what the inquisitor will probs have time for? brushing their hair of an evening

you know what they will probs not have time for? visiting a hairstylist regularly for a non-butt-ugly short haircut. Unless for the sake of realism you want everyone to have Sera-hair.

We should also be able to collect the hair grease and use it in potion crafting.

The disease thing was more a comment with the general conversation. Another user brought it up in line with your thought.

Fair point, re: fighting.

With that said, it was of course socially unacceptable for women to fight in many cultures. However not being socially acceptable doesn't mean women didn't, couldn't or wouldn't fight... well unless we mean accepted in sanctioned forces etc. That's why Joan did what she did obviously.

The veneration we have for medieval europe is pretty hilarious, seeing how it was the ass end of human culture for a good while.

No disrespect meant to the thread police, they help make things smooth and enjoyable, but the conversation here is brewed from the character reveals. The topic ebbs and flows naturally as discussions do. If that is not staying within the realm of the subject then more thread police might need to be hired as there is a lot of work to do.
