To me seem like BioWare decided to ruin even the already few female hairstyles (because let's face it: is quite rare that, balding or not balding, female players decide to go for the shaved styles.). Is quite depressing how they go for unisex with those that should be the female hair (I think the non balding are the feminine ones?) but left all the manly characteristcs for the others.
That's another huge problem, the one I talked to Laidlaw about. The hairs we have aren't unisex or gender-neutral. You can't have male-only characteristics on most of the hairs and call them either of those things. This creates a fundamental inequality between the options for males and females, and very unfortunately, one they apparently did not consider. What? Ugh. Sorry, I'm just pretty annoyed that the team didn't consider this, when they had to make a conscious effort to add sideburns and receding hairlines. Apparently they need more women on the team, which is a good idea anyway when you're creating a CC for males and females.
Rant:
Another thing I can't wrap my head around is the fact that (in real life) men don't need to have sideburns (which should have been in the facial hair section) or baldness, whereas females can't have them at all. So why then, if you're making options available to everyone, would you not simply remove those characteristics that are - at best - not required for males, instead of making them non-optional for males who don't want them, and females who shouldn't be able to have them at all? It's just a very simple thing, and it irks me very much that I not only had to bring this to their attention (where are your people who supposedly read the forums? You can bet this has been mentioned on Reddit too) and that when I did, I had to actively fight for this position before Laidlaw finally conceded that maybe, just maybe women not wanting to arbitrarily have sideburns was a valid complaint.
His original argument to me was that women simply didn't have to use those styles. So basically, their plan was to not only give females a lot of options they expected them to overlook, but also to create that fundamental imbalance of options for males and females and call that okay? Great. It's clear he didn't think about this at all and fumbled for a counter-argument rather than consider that I was right to begin with and just ended up embarrassing himself. And instead of fixing this, patching in a way to remove those sideburns if nothing else, they're content to do nothing. We don't matter, we're just people who buy your game. Obviously, putting just a little effort into fixing probably the most agreed upon problem with this game would do nothing for you as a company... No good-will generated, no possible money made... no, nothing
