Beards in Destiny? Looks like there may be hope!

Here is part of an interview with Jonty Barnes of Bungie and TSA: "TSA: So along those lines, what kinds of things have you learnt from the beta? Is there anything that you’re thinking you might try and patch in? Jonty: Well there were hundreds of little changes that we actually made. The most notable one that we’ve actually talked about was the Interceptor in competitive multiplayer that was too powerful, but we also had the Hand Cannon that was not powerful enough. We had lots of optimisations to do about making sure the best people are matched together and making sure they’re given the best experience in terms of skill and geographic match making. And then there were weird things, like people wanting beards! TSA: I think anything to make up for the little arm bangle for the Warlocks. If Warlocks could have beards, though… Jonty: [laughs] But I mean, for some people it was very important for them as human beings to be able to have a beard, because that’s part of their personality, I guess, in real life. So that has started a very heated internal dialogue at Bungie about we do beards, what is the prioritisation of that and how we can accomplish that. So that’s been a funny one!" Sounds hopefull to me.

    It occurs to me that the beard will be hard to implement in the current character customisation menu, (no unique slot for it) and this late in development they won't/can't overhaul the whole system to appease the bearded elite. So that begs the question - what slot does it get added to? Well the options are obviously: Face Hair Markings Both Face and Hair are in my opinion non-starters because Bungie need to either attach a beard to a current face or hair model, or create duplicates with/without beard. Then it gets further complicated with various beard styles. So the logical choice is to put them in the Markings section. This will then likely mean we're going to see texture based beards, goatees and stubble instead of big bushy man-beards, since everything in the markings section is simply a texture. However, I'm only second guessing this based on what's currently in the customisation menu, Bungie could and hopefully will surprise us! Thoughts?
