Angry eyesbrows - Is it just me?

10 out of 20 of the Nord eyebrows look angry.

7 of the last 10 are either really bushy, or too short in length.

2 look sort of sad, and most thin eyebrows are angry.

And 1 looks thinner and sleek, and not angry.

I can get by and make my character no problem, he will just use the one thinner option that doesn't look angry.

It seems like there could be more thinner options that don't look angry. or they could let us rotate any variation of brow to make them work for our preferred choice.

PS: NOT trying to complain. Just an observation that got me thinking.

    Agreed. I was customizing my main breton dude and i noticed that most of the eyebrows, especially half of them it feels like, are all bushy and angry looking and there is little you can do to fix that besides using the same thin brows again and again which can get boring.

    Yeh, dark elves have pissy eyebrows too. You either gotta pick a hair color that blends into the skin tone, or a hairstyle with long bangs. Or your toon can look intensely annoyed all of the time.

    The Cheerful personality can alleviate this a bit, but in some cases the effect is painfully absurd and far worse than angry eyerows.

    I like a good resting B face, my IRL one is quite menacing and often gives people the wrong idea.

    It's not just you. Pretty much the only eyebrows I like: See above.

    The eyebrow options is probably one of the worst part of the character creator. There isn't that many good ones and I often use three or so specific ones across all my characters.

    On mer it's usually easier. You can make more eyebrows work on them, but the variety is still weird.

    Even more strange is that you can actually lift up the inner part of the eyebrows on male redguards, and them only! Which opens up many more eyebrows for those who don't want to be stuck with resting angry face, but again they are the only ones where this is possible.
    [Lie] Of course! I don't even worship Daedra!

    Yeah those brows are legit.

    Feels weird to me. It doesn't seem like it makes too much a of difference. Sort of, but not enough for me to justify having a smaller forehead.

    Of course your character looks angry. They have been put into some kind of prison, maybe caught by slavers or cultists, sacrificed to Molag Bal, Tamriel is endangered by dragons, pestilence, vampires and different Daedric princes all at the same time - how could you not be angry then? Or would you prefer to have your character look afraid instead?

    The forceful expression of will gives true honor to the Ancestors.

    Yet within a few days of levelling your character you are OP af, conquering all. I guess that's what anger does when you put your mind to work :).

    I have "angry birds" on the front lights of my jeep, so angry looks make me feel home... :D
