sachad 1016 Posted January 22, 2015 Because beards are a relatively easy addition compared to malnutrition and body weight. Also, just having beards would add some level of immersion. Right now everyone's looking like they've had a shave this morning before having some eggs and toast and a cup of coffee, before taking the 8.15 bus to Chernarus for work. Having an impressive beard could be the mark of a true survivor, since the longer the beard, the longer they've been alive. It could help with identification, now that I think of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beizs 186 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Personally, while I love the idea of beards, I worry that they might make my true dream harder to include (though not too difficult). I want to be able to customize the face of my survivor. I don't care about the rest. Body is fine. But being able to customize the face to even a small extent (think Sims, but scaled down. A lot. Just like, enlarging or making the nose smaller, changing eye size, mouth size etc, but have it fairly restrained to keep it from being too much work and also to prevent people from creating the terrifying things we see coming out of the Sims regularly) would be awesome. It'd be cool ingame as it'd be possible to narrow down searches for known bandits, etc. Hair color, at the very least, shouldn't be much of an issue. Even a more adjustable skin color (sliders would be nice). That's just color overlays over the textures, which really shouldn't be an issue. Imagine if you could customize yourself enough to make you distinguishable from others and they added a basic camera in game (think a polaroid camera - makes sense in the world and removes the issue of not having computers & printers etc). Could set up noticeboards in your groups base of known bandits or heroes who frequent the server to pick targets, etc. Facial hair would make this even cooler as you could use it to distinguish people further or even disguise yourself (shaving or refraining from shaving changes your appearance a fair bit). Granted, that'd work the best on private servers (as it has a captive player base, meaning that if you run into a hero or bandit there, it's fairly likely that you'll see them again in time). Would add to the immersion for me at least too, but I think I'm having a bad case of wishful thinking with all of this. I'd just really love to be able to go on to a private server and maintain a notice board in the middle of Cherno or something with pictures of all of the known bandits. I'm a roleplayer at heart. Wouldn't make a suggestion thread about it because I'm sure that the devs have been pestered with it before and, frankly, it's a very small, unimportant feature compared to everything they've said they've got planned. Would just be nice to see as a late addition. I'm rambling now. Edited January 22, 2015 by Beizs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
