RPG Players Are Recreating Female Character Hairstyles IRL And The Results Are Hilarious

RPG Players Are Recreating Female Character Hairstyles IRL And The Results Are Hilarious https://ift.tt/kXgSaBL Regardless of your gender, if you've ever created a female or femme-presenting player-character--especially in an RPG--you've almost certainly encountered an issue that has been plaguing the genre since games first made the jump from 2D to 3D: really, really, really bad hairstyle options for female characters. And look, I get it. Animating a million little strands of hair is difficult and time-consuming, and devs don't always have the funding to make a ton of flowing hairstyle options with long, luscious locks.  But that doesn't stop them from attempting to portray longer hair--it just tends to be styled in a convoluted up-do that says, "See, this character totally has a lot of hair, she just spends six hours every morning following intricate Ye Olde Hair Tutorials to ensure her locks will not move no matter how many heavy attacks she takes." ...

It wouldn't be completely accurate to call new Hellraiser a proper reboot--it doesn't attempt to retread any of the ground covered in either the original Clive Barker novella, The Hellbound Heart, or the original movie from 1986. The characters--barring one or two familiar-ish Cenobites--are brand-new, the story is brand-new, and the mythology of the world has been changed to benefit them. It's as much a "reboot" as any of the franchise's other installments (there are 10 of them--11 now, counting this one) that tossed out new characters and ideas without so much as a backwards glance to the story put forth across 1, 2 (and 6, kind of, if you want to get technical).
