Elden Ring's release has been a massive success, both critically and financially. That said, there are things in Elden Ring that make absolutely no sense.

Unfortunately, Elden Ring seemingly made zero effort to add hairstyles that accurately represent black hair.

Quite literally, there is not a single realistic hair option for black characters in Elden Ring. Of course, they could always add these in through DLC or a patch, but the fact that Elden Ring launched without these options is disappointing, to say the least.
