My male dwarves are the only ones who have beards.  I'm curious as to how other people handle it.

[Sutremaine]

Sometimes I mod female dwarves to have beards. Sometimes I mod male dwarves to have no beards, and assume it's something they all have but which isn't mentioned in their descriptions (it's a little strange to have a newborn baby be equipped with a full head and chin of hair. Won't it be all... soggy and unhygienic?). I haven't done bearded women and unbearded men.

Soggy and unhygienic seems to describe most forgotten beast encounters in my fort, so I don't see those two adjectives as a bad thing, really.

On topic, I just leave the beard code as is, which means no beards for females.

[MrWillsauce]

I always give the ladies beards.

[Mr Frog]

Why on earth would I bother modding in female beards when I could be using those 5 seconds to do something important, like watching my fortress implode in a bloody orgy of destruction?

[Lielac]

I always mod ladybeards in. It just seems wrong if they're beardless.

[Silfarion]

Meh, since I'm more of a Warhammer fan than a LoTR fan, I like my lady dwarves to be beardless

[MrWillsauce]

I didn't know there were any female dwarves in LotR. I don't know whether or not LotR females canonically even have beards. Nevertheless, a dwarf without a beard is no dwarf, regardless of sex.

They exist. And they definitely have beards.

[MrWillsauce]

Oh thank god.

[Lielac]

Oh thank god.

Aulė, to be specific. -ducks and runs-

[MrWillsauce]

Not having read the Silmarillion, I'm going to assume that Aulė is the patron god of bearded ladies.

Among other bearded peoples, yes.

Aulė was also the mentor of Sauron and Saruman...

I usually draw my dwarves pretty accurately to their descriptions. My female dwarves don't have beard, though I've modded female dwarves to be only 1/3 of all dwarves. And they can't have clean-shaven hair, either.

And in what comes to the beards, I think I have been brainwashed by Peter Jackson. Since I don't think short beards heretic are at all - I actually prefer facial hairs of varying lenghts.

[XXSockXX]

I never mod beards that are not attached to my face.
