What on earth is up with Blizzards obsession with balding?

green jesus you’re a shorty lol. like my mother’s height.

personally, I started balding in my mid-20s, but the absolute second that my hairline started receding, I started shaving bald. been doing so for 20 years now lol.

I wish BEs could have the short dreadlocks hairstyle that Dracthyr Visages have. I’d totally use that on multiple characters.

Bald Elves looks weird to me, but almost all of the BE hairstyles are awful (to me) because they clip so bad into everything. so I just use the short one.

that’s pretty much the gist of it, if we’re being honest.

LOL yes, I am. The Rheumatoid Arthritis made me shorter. I lost two inches. :sob:

My dad went white at 25. Not grey… completely white. lol

My eldest brother followed in my grandfather’s footsteps and went bald.

My other brother went white like my dad.

I’m completely silver if I didn’t dye my hair. I’m debating on letting it grow out, but I’m so pale, I’d look dead. LOL

I feel the same!! :rofl:

I forget where I read it, but it was in some description of fantasy races and it mentioned dwarves tending to become bald/balding. That could explain the dwarves, but where you talked about Earthen. That’s a valid point! Why on earth would they grow bald? I don’t want to think of reasons as to why it would be disappearing. :sweat_smile:

yeah we all have our fetishes, but that is one particular fetish that I will never understand.

It’s just Blizzard’s way of casually reminding people of Asmongold each time they look at their balding character.

(Now you will never unsee it)

The funny thing about fetishes is that not even people who have them understand why they do. They just…do.

I dont think bald men want to be bald in a fantasy game. Perhaps fully bald? Maybe, but balding? I’m very doubtful.

It wasn’t a serious question, but thank you for the examples.

31

My bad. :grin:

32

Good lord… I haven’t paid attention to Earthen bc I’m not really interested but this is egregious.

Who is this for???

They had to shave a lot of hair from the male models in order to give it all to earthen females for beards. Because so many of them have beards.

Dwarf women canonically have beards.

It’s for aerodynamics when fighting.

But that’s just the thing… there really aren’t more choices when 90% of them are balding.
