Elden Ring\u2019s new hairstyles are great but fans are calling for another key customization option FromSoftwareNew hairstyles are heading to Elden Ring ahead of Shadow of the Erdtree\u2019s release, but fans are desperate to see their character\u2019s face when they have a helmet equipped. As fans tentatively await the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the official Elden Ring account on X\/Twitter posted a thread of incoming changes before the expansion drops. New inventory tracking features, summoning pool changes, and, more notably, new hairstyles for character creation are included. Fans are delighted at the new hairstyles available to customize their character, \u201cI\u2019m so happy, some of those hairstyles finally look good.\u201d Others say the update highlights a feature lacking in a game with character creation. While the new hairstyles are welcome, it\u2019s also brought attention to the request for a specific customization option: being able to hide your helmet while not unequipping it, keeping the defensive stats it provides. \u201cIt would be useful if you gave us an invisible helmet animation so we could actually see them in game,\u201d reads one reply. The conversation continued on Reddit, with one commenter questioning the value of new customization options when they\u2019re hidden by armor. \u201cDid they add a toggle to hide your helmet, or are those five new hairstyles just as useless as the rest?\u201d Fans have taken exception to the harsh words and have heavily downvoted the comment, replying, \u201cJust don\u2019t wear one, the stats aren\u2019t that great to begin with.\u201d Removing your helmet while keeping the armor\u2019s defensive perks is absent in the FromSoftware Souls games. Bluepoint\u2019s PlayStation 5 Demon\u2019s Souls remake contained this feature, allowing you to view your character\u2019s face regardless of what they were wearing. Replies come in to defend the controversial stance, \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty reasonable ask. They added a whole system to toggle capes on and off, and they have an elaborate system for facial and head construction, but unless our chosen headpiece happens to be very open, all of that is hidden.\u201d \u201cI\u2019d say it\u2019s the same sort of \u2018immersive,\u2019 \u2018everything you see in-game is \u2018happening\u2019 in-universe\u2019 thing as how there\u2019s no co-op option on the main menu and your character has to physically use items to enable multiplayer\u201d another reply states, noting FromSoftware\u2019s focus on immersion over functionality. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if FromSoftware will add this feature, as the update drops on June 20, just before the Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC releases on June 21. While you wait, take some time to learn when the DLC is dropping in your region. You may have to forfeit a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
