Half of me wants to be here when something about Solas is released. But the other half of me thinks this thread will explode, once more, with abhorrence towards his beautiful bald head.

 

This is why we need to begin amassing our army of battle nugs, so we can unleash squealing hell on ill-intentioned thread invaders.

 

 

Oooh, that's phrased perfectly.  Thank you for making the point better than I did/could.

 

You're welcome! I get tired of the haters too, which is why I went back in the thread to find something I think we could all use right now.

 

With a lower half like this

It's gotta be a thong

 

Solass. It makes everything better.

Let the haters bring on their hatred.  We'll just crank out Solas fanart and Solas skits and Solass and drown them out.

Ah. Internet forums. Where anonymity is no friend of decency. But it's not worth taking seriously. Negativity is what you get when people try to make a choice based solely on aesthetics. We're all shallow to a point, but decent people don't say those things in public which is why it sounds worse than it is reading it grouped together.

 

However, those of us who love Solas may be completely repulsed by his personality by the time we play the game. It may not be a comforting thought for some, but the important thing is we seem to be getting diversity in both looks and personalities which is exciting for me.

From what I can tell, people are more upset by the quality of her hair than the actual haircut. I have to admit that I'm not too enchanted with how hair looks in this game either but it's not terrible.

 

Not that it matters because my fave is bald  :P

You think so? I feel like everyone has had time to get used to the idea at this point. Complaining about his baldness seems really redundant now!

That quote and him looking at his hand like that makes me think about the Inquisitor first seeing his glowy Fade garage-door opener hand. :lol:

And now if I make a malequisitor I'll have to do my bestest at making him look like Flynn Ryder and name him Flynn or Eugene...

I'm not worried about the re-emergence of bald hate. Mainly because it didn't cause static here before. The worst anyone did was say, hey, give bald is beautiful a chance. And the bald support images. I think our upbeat approach is best.

I tend to think that the people who are that consumed with their own narrow definitions of characters' bangability right now (because that's totally what it is) are going to be the ones belching out negativity about other things too once the game releases.  I'd hate to be so determined not to enjoy something.

 

Yet another reason why I live in the Solas thread.  :)

I just don't like her hair because it's poorly modeled compared to the rest of her (cloth/armor/skin/eye texture) I'm afraid it's going to be ME3 all over again and all the hair will look like it's been carved out of cheese and will be in horrible styles like the 9,000 variations of the Captain Janeway poof bun or the DA2 Friar Tuck :( I expressed my concerns about this because of Varric and Cassandra's poorly modeled and chunky hair but everyone said it was just pre-alpha and that it wasn't final. They were wrong! :crying:

Well to be fair Sera's image is Alpha so it still isn't finalized yet. They can refine aspects.

Oh, I don't think anybody's upset that people have varying opinions on her hair, Nefla! I think Ispan was referring to some of the nastier "She's so ugly!" commentary elsewhere.  Sera has been torn apart pretty thoroughly in a few threads this evening. And for me, I often feel like the female characters get shredded in a way that the male characters don't, as though their entire worth is determined by, say, their lips being just so.  But that's all a different thing than simply liking or not liking her hair, so please don't think I was talking about you!  BioWare is fond of making some odd hair at times, that's for sure. The DA2 hair choices were just...*shudder*  :)

Yeah, even DHMG's hair is pretty terrible in the alternate angle of the group shot.  Varric and Cass's hair look improved in the latest trailer so maybe there's hope for the rest of them? (they still don't look great but they look better).

So is comparing him to Nic Cage, but that hasn't stopped anyone.  <_<

This. I'm totally cool with her hair style, it just looks like her hair is a flat texture. Compared to the detail on her armor, it looks out of place.

It's BioWare Hair. It's like...its own special thing.  A special thing that would involve multiple cans of hairsrpay...or maybe spackle...to achieve in the real world.

 

There has been progress, I mean, Cullen isn't wearing Ramen on his head anymore.  :P

I'm a little confused by the more technical aspects of hair. Gaming mostly on Xbox has probably dulled my senses in regards to models and textures. I can see how Sera's hair isn't perfect, but aren't pics like this of Cass pretty good?

 

Spoiler

 

I keep seeing The Last of Us and Tomb Raider used as examples of great hair, but has anyone played a game with customisable hair that is on the same level as them?

Keep in mind that Tomb Raider (at least, maybe Last of Us as well) used a specific physics program designed solely to create hair and hair movement. My understanding is that it used up a lot of resources. So I am not sure if it would be fair to compare to DA where the hero is as unique as all of us instead of a set protagonist and the focus is different. 

 

Also, just to say that I love this thread. Seriously. You guys are awesome.

That would break my innocent heart if Solas ended up having a rotten personality! But it is a possibility.

I still see it brought up a lot. Other forums, tumblr... but, alas, I guess I dug up something that should have remained buried until someone else brings it up. Ahhhh I brought out the hate speculation.

Yeeeeeeeah now that I'm looking I still see it in other places. Other places I will avoid for a little bit. But hey, it could be worse!

 

And nobody with such a cool descriptor food can have a rotten personality! At least I hope not. Though there has never been a DA companion I didn't like so I'm not too worried.

At first I was like :lol: but then I realized: the literal ramen hair looks better than the DA2 hair wtf :blink:

My bad, I didn't get around much today and all I saw was some hair discussion! I agree though, people totally go wacko over female character's appearance. Back on the old BSN people were actually saying they would kill Cassandra on sight because her jaw was more angular now and that apparently made her "ugly" and how there was not point in female characters existing if they weren't sex kittens, etc... :sick: Thinking back on that kind of stuff really makes you realize how the BSN has improved a lot.

I didn't really look at DHMG so I didn't notice. I hope the hair quality ends up matching the quality of everything else, but if we're gonna get jagged ends, plastic texture, and no depth, at least give us fashionable styles and no more Friar Tuck or sausage hair or that fishbowl shaped hair that's longer in the back and shorter in the front with the ugly too-short, too-thick blunt bangs that Leandra always seems to get stuck with on my playthroughs :?

I want to buzz the sides and just leave what's on top (I blame incredible fanart).  His hair isn't that bad, just unexpected after what he looked like in the other shot. :P  At least with Solas what you see is what you get, his hair won't vary from different angles :lol:

That is...strange looking lol. If this bad hair trend trickles into the CC, I may have to join the baldquisition every time and that will suck because I like each character to look very different!

It looks like a furry creature attached itself to his head and is holding on. I'm finding this much funnier than I should  :lol: Poor Dorian!

 

Also, does he still have that little soul patch? It doesn't look like he does. I think Ymirr is confusing me with (awesome) art where he still has it!

It really does look like ^that^!!  oh, Dorian, my love, I cannot unsee this :P

 

Holy **** :o I've stared at this picture quite a bit but I never realized his soul patch was missing!

 

I edit my posts so frequently and drastically within the first minute of posting them... hmm... maybe I should think before I post :P
