Why is there no long hair or curly hair in game?

Hair is but only a small spec of the problem.

Since beta I've always disliked the character creation system. It's extremely shallow and leaves no room for freedom and creativity.

My fourth character, who I designed as a tank, started from the character creation screen. I picked all the options that would display my character as strong like a tank.
However, by the time I got to Coruscant, I found at least 3 different players, whom I've never met before, with a majority of the same choices of character design as me. In fact, there was one player who looked EXACTLY like me: Same hair style/color, same species, same facial markings and eye color. Even the same skin tone and body type. In fact, the only difference between his character and mine was the fact that he was a vanguard and I was a shadow.


So yes, while I do believe there should be more hair options in the game. I also believe that there should be more options of everything else as well!

And yes, I completely understand it will impact the performance in game. But I honestly think something needs to be done to make asset calls into the HDD quicker and more efficient.

Clipping hair is taboo for Bioware. See mass effect, dragon age (I and II), kotor I ...

The hair has bugged me from. The start, most of the options look crap. Lotro manages nice long and flowing hair models, it might be tricky but that's no reason not to bother on a game like this. I did recently notice that some hair models do actually move with gravity, or at least parts of the hair do. Still, needs to be improved and a barber shop. I stopped playing my smuggler for ages because his hair model changed after a patch a few weeks after launch and he looks like legolas now

Actually its stupid.

Its a simple solution.

The hair is only long with no helmet being being equipped, and when equipped, the hair is treated as some other style such as 'helmet hair'.

There would be no clipping other than the possibility on the main chest armor, but that is something they should be able to develop, and something the game engine should be able handle.

So the only excuse is they can't code the hair to not clip into the chest piece, or the engine can't handle it. That sounds weak.

Lol, some body does...I know a new sub classs barber shop Jedi.lol

Wookie barber would be epic.lol

Clipping hair yeah but yet my cloak / coat is stil clipping with my vehicle somtimes

i personally woudl liek to see longer hair but not needed... IF they add they neeed to make us able to recustomize our characters... wich i would like to see even without the long ahair XD

Strangely though you go bald (i.e. hair is deleted) if you wear a hood, helmet or most hats....... so it shouldn't clip too much.
