With nightfall crates coming, vampire friendly hairstyles?

It would be fairly cool with the nightfall crates coming out and coinciding with the release of the Greymoor vampire chapter if we were to get a few hairstyles that work well with vampire builds.

I pulled a few examples from Skyrim mod hairstyles that would be cool to see in this game that would work well with a vampire build. These would all be a insta-buy for me. Combined in a pack I would blow 5000 crowns for a hair pack that had the below styles.

The first is a high bouffant long hairstyle that has long bangs and a whisp coming down between the eyes. Both sides of the face are framed with hair that curves in. This would look outstanding on many vampire builds and has the added bonus of still showing the ears to the elves out there.

The second, a short bob with hair coming down over one eye. As a classic bob the hair curves in on both sides at the bottom. The second image shows a similar hairstyle but with straight bangs.

The third has a classic thing many vampire hairstyles have, and that is the bangs that get longer in the center of the face making a V shape. The second image also shows this but in a long style instead and with whisps of hair again angling in to the face on each side.

The fourth is quite distinct being very long at the front and shorter in the back. It has some similarities to the bob above but with no bangs and an uneven part. It is effectively a cross between "The Rachel" and a bob.

    I do not see how any of those styles are vampire-centric. They just look like different hairstyles? So what is a vampire centric hairstyle?

    Also, why not just ask for certain hairstyles vs asking for them to be placed into the loot boxes where RNG rules the day instead of players making a choice on what they want to buy?

    Most crate items sell for gems as well. I am totally fine if they sell for crowns instead, I think I stated I would pay crowns for them in the post.

    What would be a hair style you think would be vampire-centric? Can you post an example?

    The forth row in particular is a very commonly used look for vampire characters in lore with the V shaped bangs that cut low in the center of the face. It is very common for vampire looks and very rare for basically anything else.

    None of those strike me as vampire-centric. Sorry.

    You want anime hair?

    None of these are anime hairstyles. Every hair style you see there predates anime, and many pre-date TV. Anime may have borrowed from them, but anime absolutely does not define them.

    The bob hairstyles were developed and mostly came into popularity in the 1920's.

    The bouffant hairstyle came into it's own mostly in the 1960's and would be better stated "you want the Priscilla Presley hair style or the Brigid Bardot Hairstyle? The top hairstyle is a classic 60's look.

    I am not pushing for hair styles from anime. I want some more older classic styles seen in the past that might not be as common today.

    The Tousled Bard looks quite gothic, just saying.

    I'm actually quite tired of the "vampire = gothic" trope that many settings (including TES to some degree) like to exploit. Becoming a vampire doesn't automatically make someone into an uber-goth, if they weren't one in life. Most of them would just keep dressing the way they used to do as mortals.

    But anyway, I digress. Regarding the hairstyles, most of them wouldn't really look right in a medieval fantasy setting. There were no v-shaped bangs, or huge coiffed ponytails and such, and for the better or worse ESO seems to stick to a relatively period-appropriate aesthetic.

    The simple bob I could see, though.

    Vampire friendly hair? Does that mean Elvira, Mistess of the Dark hair?

    Or, you know,all of them? Because a lot of vampires in Elder Scrolls tries not to stick out, just have what they used to have, or live very remote so there isn't really anyone to give them fancy haircuts. Becoming a vampire doesn't give you a sudden extreme urge for bat theme, black velvet and leather or goth hair.

    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Gems are tied to crates as well, and more RNG of what we can change into gems.

    All I am saying is I think it would it would make more sense to just ask for them than to suggest Zos put them into crates. It would give us more control over our purchases.

    To each their own. I do not buy crates because I choose what I will buy instead of playing the slot machine.
