We need to talk about Master Irin's hair...

Please tell me I'm not the only one that notices that Master Irin's (Ember's master in the quest to get her as a companion) hairline is ludicrous...
I mean, I've heard of a widow's peak, but this....this is a whole 'nother level. Widow's summit, maybe? It goes damn near all the way down between his eyes! Plus....it's a god damned mullet!!!
So I'm just gonna call it...he's wearing a hair piece. An 80's mullet wig. There's no other explanation. It's a toupe and he needs to drag it back a bit.

✭✭✭✭✭The Misanthropic Lycanthrope hairstyle fits some people better than others. The first person we saw with it was Dagrund the Bulky in March of Sacrifices, and he wore it better since he was, y'know, actually a misanthropic lycanthrope.
Khajiit can actually rock that style though. The widow's peak isn't as pronounced because of the ears, and the mullet can actually look pretty cool.
(Also Dagrund and his dudes were unofficially officially werebears. I would like it on record that I would spend an exhorbitant number of Crowns if we had a Skill Style for the werewolf transformation that gave us a brown werebear as the model)

✭✭✭You can actually get that hairstyle for your characters from the Sovngarde Crown Crates.
It's called Misanthropic Lycanthrope:

I don’t know, if you have that much hair when you get into older age you should be happy about it, lol.
I never really paid attention when doing this quest, I tried to get it done as quickly as possible.

Juomuuri✭✭✭✭✭This hairstyle looks so stupid on humans/elves, but I once saw someone sporting it on their "80s dad" character, I think that post is buried somewhere within the Fashion Megathread?

Yes it looks good on Khajiit's as it fit the ears so well. also looks good on Argonians, for the rest it look weird.Grizzbeorn wrote: »You can actually get that hairstyle for your characters from the Sovngarde Crown Crates.

Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.1 -
Akylles✭✭✭The real question is....if this isn't a hairpiece, how the hell is he growing it all the way down through to his eyebrows? If my hair was growing out the middle of my forehead and I wasn't a man-cat or a werebear, I'd go see a doctor....
And it makes you wonder...you think it'll ever connect with his eyebrows?If I see farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants - Sir Isaac Newton0 -
