Bummed that your Starfield character’s beard would not look almost as lush and masculine as you’d prefer it to? Nicely, fear no extra over patchy stubble, as a result of this absolute hero has simply raised the bar—or extra particularly, the feel decision—for Starfield beards.
Due to creator BulwarkHD on Nexus Mods, beards simply bought an entire lot extra spectacular with HD 4K Beards, which seems to have improved a number of the points followers have had with Bethesda facial hair. And I do not simply imply there are points with Starfield beards both, this grievance has been happening for years.
Starfield’s bought a reasonably “extremely detailed” character creator, all issues thought-about. However even earlier than the sport was launched, followers made it clear they have been involved over a “recurring facial hair subject” in Bethesda video games.
And whereas Bethesda has made vital enhancements to its in-house Creation Engine (now Creation Engine 2 for Starfield), its fairly clear the character creator did not get as a lot love as some followers would have preferred. Beards and hair specifically have not had as a lot love as another character creation property, regardless of the engine enhancements.
Gamers have been happening about this frankly immersion-breaking downside on the Starfield subreddit. The consensus is “Hair is dangerous and unacceptable for a 2023 sport. Nonetheless shopping for Starfield tho.” The patchy instance picture given within the submit speaks volumes, however till now nobody had made a transfer to enhance it.
Gamers have been calling for darkish textures beneath facial hair, too, so as to “give the phantasm of shadow.” I knew there was one thing uncanny concerning the beards in Starfield and after seeing dreamonto’s much-improved rendering I lastly see what the problem was.
Now, downloading this 4K beard mod won’t add shadow to your character’s facial texture, nevertheless it does up the decision of their beard to spectacular impact. It is a easy resolution, and one which commenters appear fairly darn happy with. It would put somewhat extra pressure in your PC, although.
So should you’re planning on rushing throughout the galaxy with a cosmically giant beard to cover all of your contraband inside, now you are able to do so in a barely greater decision. Reward be to the beard gods. You may nonetheless have a despicably baby-faced countenance, however not less than you’ll be able to nearly conceal it below all that scruff.
