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.

  • I don't really know why they were so shocked by people wanting beards. They always talk about "mythic sci-fi". How are we supposed to be awesome futuristic knights without beards. Nearly everyone who wasn't an elf, hobbit or orc had facial hair in Lord of the Rings. It sort of fits the genre. Heck even most human Jedi's that are physically able sport beards.
