Can I say that as the games have gone on the hair has gotten worse. 

Good. I thought I was the only one who noticed.

I mean, the hair we have looks better as the graphic technology gets better, but the actual styles are just worse.  In DAO you had a pony tail and a bun, the little bob with the braids, in DAII you had Bethany's mid length hair and some with bangs.  You also had longer male styles that looked masculine.  Like Anders's man ponytail in Awakenings.  But as we went on choice got diminished. And the graphics are better now so you would think they could take those existing hair style's - like Wynne's bun or Bethany's mid length hair and take them forward, but they did not. We got all the military buzzcuts.

The reason Bioware gave for not including the original hairstyles they had planned (the ones they showed of when they first showed us the character models) were "clipping issues", which is a silly reason in my opinion. So many things in Inquisition already has clipping issues and most people don't care as long as it looks decent. I get that Bioware is trying to be "progressive" and trying not to gender stereotype, but are the hairstyles in the character creation menu really the best place to do that? There are barely any hairstyles that looks remotely feminine. And don't get me started on how silly some of the NPCs looked (particularly Duchess Florianne).

yes i thought the choice was not great when it comes to creating a woman

Ugh.  I'd like to apologize for putting a superfluous apostrophe on "hair styles".  I get being gender fluid or inclusive.   That's fine.  Why does inclusive seem to mean short hair?  My husband has long hair (he cut it, which gave me the sads, and now it is at that awkward length as he grows it out again).  Why is the assumption that gender inclusive = short?  I think its just a bit of laziness, an assumption that more males play as males rather than women like myself who want a woman to be badass and feminine at the same time and a stock database of short hairs since frostbite was their FPS engine. Clipping seems like a convenient excuse since your weapon clips through your armor half the time.
