Lack of Bald Characters in CK3

[Lord Vamp]

Hey, long time Paradox player here. I'm a bald guy and honestly disappointed by the lack of representation of male pattern baldness in CK3. Every single character in the starting year has an unrealistically full head of hair, no matter what age. Seems like a silly thing to complain about but I hope Paradox (or realism modders) will throw a bone to us bald guys at some point and incorporate a little more baldness into the game.

The biggest thing with baldness that is missing are bald Buddhist monks and nuns, since Buddhist monks should be bald.

Can the devs actually add the male pattern baldness gene? Pretty please?

I hadn't thought of this until I saw your post. And now I think it is definitely a very important thing that is missing from the game. Male pattern baldness definitely needs to be in!

There is a "no Hair" option in the Barbershop. It is more of a "Miltiary Buzzcut", then actuall baldness. Also it seems barely ever used.

It is noteworthy that profession can override the Hairdo - christian monks got that donut/halo cut.

It's called "tonsure" lol.

I think the OP might be asking for various degrees of baldness not just a "no hair" option.

As CK3 grows, I hope its hairlines recede to your liking.

Seriously this is a great idea and I hope the devs dedicate some graphics time to both adding a wider variety of hairstyles (and "lack of hair" styles).

I like the idea of having a bald gene in the pool. Those people who want it in their family could go looking around for families with baldness in the grandparents and those who would prefer not could check for old-age luxuriancy.

I have been thinking about this and realised the problem Paradox would be trying to avoid. They have spent enormous efforts in getting characters to age seamlessly from infancy to old age and to transition to bald would be all but impossible without a sharp step. Any blending would have to take account of each of the hair styles as well which would be a lot of work.

Male characters go from not having a hair on their chin at 17 to full bushy beard at 18. I don't think it's as huge a problem as you make it sound, clearly there are already certain age breakpoints and not just gradual year by year transitions with a couple wrinkles added each time.

[Draniels]

You know as someone definitely losing his hair, I didn't even notice this. But now I'm on board, more representation for the baldies!!!

 

[Arthrodira]

Seems like one of the most obvious things you would add if you created a genetic character system.... hopefully fixed very soon

Yeah just click on yourself and select barbershop.

That's the good thing about 2020. Corona has made the year a negative overall, so it's nice that at least we are finally able to grow hair at will rather than being at the mercy of nature and environment.
