What's the deal with the choices for heads?

Aurican · 07-28-2002, 01:47 PM

I'm sure this topic has had to have been said but I need to know. What was bioware thinking when they made the heads for our characters in the game? There are more middle-aged and older man heads that are bald than anything else. Elves get stupid looking hair and dwarves hardly have beards other than two of their head choices. Poor halflings and gnomes are just screwed. Is there anyway to just get some new ones. Nothing fancy. How about a head with long hair, short hair, a couple with various facial hair, even a few with just plain different hair styles, but come on, the ones they have are horrible.

I'm playing an elven monk using the mohawk picture/head, I rather like it. But I agree, I hated most of the head options. A goatee instead of a full beard would've been nice, for one thing.

Maybe they'll put out an xpac with more character creation options :b

Amen. The heads suck. And since you can't rotate them, or change them after you start the game, you pick the wrong head, and that's just too bad.

On the upside, I played a "tiefling" (a half-elf really) and used the head with the horns. Did up the colors. Wild tattoo. Outragous garments when possible (swapped by hotkeys when I would be in an adventuring mode). It was cool.

Hey do you think it's possible to find different heads on the internet? Just a question... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I am hoping that in time this will be like The Sims, with dozens or hundreds of new heads, outfits, etc. That would be cool.
