How come my male Orc can wear a wedding dress but my female redguard can't wear a braided beard? :'(

✭I think they should take the gender lock off of everything, including beards. Too many limits on fabulous.“Whatever.”

✭✭✭✭Orc gender is strictly determined by who wins the arm wrestling contest.
I thought this was common knowledge by now.Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

There are some woman with beards but it's an hormone issue. While more options is always fun this one goes against realism. Maybe they could add some beard as masks of sorts and fake beards for some people?2 -
TheZachinator✭✭✭My male characters would love to use the girl hairstyles but sadly they're gender-locked for some reason.

✭✭usually women just don't grow extensive facial hair, I know there can be exceptions but it's just not something that happens very often
I guess it's not that hard for a man to wear a dress though. It's not a matter of prejudice, it's biologyskingrad when zoscharacters:PC/NA but live in EU 150+ ping lyfe- EP - M - Strikes-with-Arcane - Argonian Stamina Sorc - lvl 50 - The Flawless Conqueror/Spirit Slayer

If we are going to add any possible mutation then the character creator won't even load ever.2 -

✭Just be thankful your males can have facial hair right now. If you follow the Elder Scrolls lore, you'd know the orcs of ESO are the ancestors of Super Mutants in Fallout, and I don't recall seeing any Super Mutants with any facial hair at all!
You're all doomed to a depilatory future!Feric51

It's not a mutation but medical issue. I wouldn't add it in game but fake beards could be something. There's lots of evidence in history of woman pretending to be men with disuages so this alternative might be option.. maybe.2 -
Grandma✭✭✭✭✭people really getting butthurt and triggered over the concept of a woman having a beard. lol. oversexualize strangers much?
In most fantasy settings there's a running joke that dwarves all have beards and, in terry pratchet's case, you only find out the dwarves gender typically after you marry them. I find that hilarious, and I wish more fantasy realms were more playful with stuff like this. I could totally see orc facial hair as a common thing between the sexes.GH / 3/04/2021 / Elemental Catalyst Necromancer6 -

This one is not wearing the hat but still has the whiskers.

This can create some issue for weaker male Orcs, might be because of damage and strong female Orcs.Merlin13KAGL wrote: »Orc gender is strictly determined by who wins the arm wrestling contest.

on the other hand its no reason why say Orc females could not have beards, even more so for Khajiit who is way less humans and have fur.
Did an BG run in guild there all wore the reward viking dress, this one was the only female.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

If we're going to add every medical issue to the character creator then you have the same problem.

✭Yikes did not mean to trigger anyone or start some sort of political debate. It's purely a fashion decision!
I dressed up as Santa at Christmas and had a beard so genetics do not apply. I can be a bearded lady in real life just as easily as my husband can put on a dress. My point stands ^^
Good suggestion on the female looking male though. If only males could dance female dances

✭✭Persoanlly I think, men and ladies should be able to use each others hair styles and beards. I can understand restrictions on Some races like beast races. I don't see why those have to be restrictive. Some woman can in fact grow beards just like men. This is an mmo that allows one to cross dress. Both men and woman. So why not? Why not allow it? I am sure it would be popular with some and for sure for friends that might play a more gender bender character.PC NA
