📋 About This Mod
Yeah, what else to say?
Disclaimer first: Gonna be bloody honest, as I always am about my arts and works (and in case you don't already know from my statement in the Modder's Resource: Hairstyles Upload here) - I usually only mod for private mod usage. Means I normally don't share mods publicly, because I'm simply not the type for maintenance works @ updates. Luckily this kinda mod will most probably be version-independent. So this mod is a final as-is state and will only be changed/updated if I need a detail to be changed that annoys me or I can find a way to optimize eventual clipping even more.
Background/Motivation:
As there are basically no long hair styles in ER, only at best shoulder lengths, I was very glad to see Ikaros' depiction of a long-hair style for female characters.
Inspiration for this specific, final style was Kain (Blood Omen 2 variant mostly) from the Legacy of Kain franchise. As there's already a great mod existing to deliver the Blood/Soul Reaver and to me the character model I learned to know Kain was with Blood Omen 2, this will always be the main orientation on how Kain should be and look.
However, now here's a hairstyle that is a mix out of his initial, plain long Blood Omen 2 Hair and a ponytail accent added with the later games as a - to me - very first, serious option for male characters.

BUT you need to test the function yourself here. I just did a convenience update for you to Beta test it here, as I was able to quickly do it, but I don't have a working game version installed here, only an old ghost of a frozen version we played in co-op. ~
One time offer: Leave a comment and let me know if it works right now. I will re-check the mod page the next days a bit more to look at feedback, but this will decrease over time, as I can already promise you. Just being honest.
As you might have noticed, I also uploaded the below mentioned female versionas well. I know we didn't reach the 25 mark in 2023, but to hell with it. It was an experiment anyways and I had the hair style for our sessions created and adjusted anyways, so tell me how you like it.
Done in this final update:
- Updated the supposedly working DLC compatible version of the Male Hairstyle.
- Uploaded the new Female Version of the Hairstyle now as a premiere! Enjoy!
