Where are the female Dwarf's beards?!

[jasonwade]

<p>Since I do not play a Dwarf, I never noticed it, but recently I was messing around with the character generator to see what options are available for the various races and it came to my attention that female Dwarf's don't have beards.  In fact they don't even get the OPTION to have beards.  In all fantasy games, fiction, movies, etc. female Dwarf's are always referred to as having beards (maybe not full length beards like males, but they still have some sort or facial hair).  Even more distressing, female Dwarf's in EQ1 had the option to have facial hair - so why the change in EQ2?</p><p>Game designers - BRING THE BEARDS BACK TO DWARVEN WOMEN!!!  I am sure that this would be an extremely simple programming change to implement, but it would be great for customization and roleplay.</p><p>[I AM SPEAKING ABOUT THE ALTERNATE MODELS OPTIONS BTW - I SAW THAT THE DEFAULT/ORIGINAL MODELS DO ALLOW BEARDS]</p>

Err, you already answered your question. They have beards if you want to have them.

Not all fantasy realms have female dwarves with beards. It's fairly common, and it might be the norm, but it's not universal.

Don't the female dwarves in another game that begins with the letter L look like cute little girls? I'm trying to imagine them with beards... So scary. Then again, dwarves are meant for tossing (like gnomes are made for punting and halfling for whacking with a club). The beard would hamper the aerodynamics and hinder longer tosses.

It is SOGA who does not want beared (their excuse was they are not having any beard in Asian culture stuff aka they forgot it)</p>

The original poster claimed "In all fantasy games, fiction, movies, etc. female Dwarf's are always referred to as having beards", which is simply not true.
