Long Hair Options

[Jeheia]

Longest hair I saw is shoulder length. I think there should be waist length or even longer hair options. I spent 1 hour creating a character and clicked through all hair options on all races and sub races multiple times and none of the options were good enough :(

Also putting on hats and helmets remove the hair.

Unless they implement some sort of physics simulation for hair, I can see really long ones looking fairly ridiculous in some circumstances like upclose dialogues and (especially) curscenes involving action.

No, if the hair attachment points are defined accordingly. Some animation will just reuse back-side skeleton nodes making the hair "glued" to the back if it's longer than shoulders. It's a common trick.

A proper solution of course is to implement hair physics but I've only ever seen 3 AAA games doing it correctly (and one of that was Skyrim for which I had to install several mods and also edit the physics engine config to make it look realistic). Given the state of character creator in BG3 that's a tall order.

Anyways, to OP: there are already mods that do it. To link a few:

Hair Addons: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/348
Hair Salon: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/213

All the long hair there works in the first way I described above ("glued hair") - not too bad in all honesty, so long as you're not a physics munchkin, it'll likely be fine for you. Do keep in mind that dealing with mods = accept the fact you will need to deal with patches compatibility as every patch tend to break mods.

I saw the mods before but thanks again for the links and explanation. Since it is stil in early access, I will just go with what the game offers me for now.

This is a high priority request.

nah we need long beards! well more versions at least to compansate for my baldness and make dwarfs kick ass again..

What is even worse is that all the long hair is butt ugly.
They all look like plastic or got wierd things in there hair.
I can not make a long hair elf(short hair elves are heresy) because none of the hair looks like hair.

And not to mention the seemingly exclusion of bangs.

Just be happy the selection isn't DAI with 8 types of bald and 1 feminine hair style. I don't think i have witnessed an RPG ever have such terrible hair styles in all of gaming, they had better hairs in 1 and 2 how did they mess up so bad with the female hair.

I can only hope the reason is because it is still in early access and they will actually bring better character customization.

I've never been a fan of games that restrict character's hairstyles to "well it was the easiest to program", because it just reeks of laziness when RPGs have for the past decade always had long hair options.
