It's not just showing my face but also showing my hair. If the helm let my long hair extend past I may be tempted to show my helm on occasion, as long as it didn't completely cover my face. But not the way it is now.

It really just depends on if it fits with the rest of the costume design I am going for at the time. Sometimes that is a full mask, sometimes just a hood or hat, and sometimes no head covering at all.

I picked a mixture of both but really it's "no, except for my tank".

As an RPer, I have plenty of opportunity to show my characters' faces. Also as an RPer, I personally approach combat with a certain degree of logic. Namely, 'Only in idiot goes into a battlefield with their head completely exposed.'

More understandable for non-RPers to run around like that, but yeah. That's how I see it for myself.

Why would cloth users wear helmets? They don't even have helmets usually. The same goes for leather users, actually. Most of the time, they're only using something to hide their face, not to actually protect. Characters using metal armor are the only ones that makes actual sense.

Some do, some don't, it depends on the outfit I have for a given character.

It depends of course on the situation. When there is a serious battle going on, yes - if I am just strolling around or doing other things, no.

Are you meaning to ask if we truly do not wear a helm?
Or do you mean HIDE the helm that we are wearing? Because it would be silly not to wear head armor since we have the option to hide it when we want to show off our head/face..

Do you know how uncomfortable a helmet is when you have long pointed ears? And don't get me started on helmet hair!

Hide helm. I love my gray haired, grizzled orc and his bright blue face tattoo bestowed by Lord Vivec himself. Who wouldn’t want to view that?

Besides, the face in the character creator is pretty good. No need to cover it up. I have a toon or two that sometimes will wear head adornment for fun but I don’t care for most of the helm designs.

Depends on the character. Some never take it off and even I never see their face except at crafting stations. Others never wear It and I only see their helms at outfit stations. Others wear it for doing combat stuff but take it off when doing other things and for these I dedicate a hot-bar slot to hide helm. One never wears headgear but has a warpaint face marking she wears for combat things, another never wears a helm but has a couple of hats she switches between, but also will sometimes just rock a no hat look.

Depends on the character and what they are wearing. Some wear nothing on their head, while others wear helmets, hoods, hats or somesuch.

It depends on the character and the situation. I change what they're wearing to suit the situation and that includes hiding or showing their helmet (and changing hair styles when they're not wearing a helm).

My heavy armoured characters usually do wear a helm in combat, others will only put it on sometimes, in the case of ones who wear a hood or cloth hat usually more to hide their face or keep stuff from getting in their hair than for protection in battle (for defence they rely mainly on not being there when the blow lands).
