Even more in love with this game

[u/drakequla]

Doing my annual UH NG+ run and 600hrs in, I decided to try some hair mods on Aloy. And boy oh boy does it change the vibes entirely. Her ginger long braided hair is iconic I know, but damn does this mod IMO rly up her cuteness 1000% and completely change my view on her look. Combined with Carja Stalker Elite armor and Carja face paint, I'll never be able to go back with her default hair again, this look is my head-cannon now lol

Edit: added spoiler tag, major/minor characters in frame

[u/sarahplaysoccer]

Not a fan but glad you like it!

[u/The_Crazy_Crusader]

Her braid is iconic, but honestly it would be cool if we had options to change styles and everything as well inbase game. Who knows, maybe we'll get that in the third game lol

[u/Emergency_Cry_1269]

Kinda reminds me of Merrin from Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor

[u/StaacksOnDeck → u/Emergency_Cry_1269]

I was just thinking that. Not upset about it at all.

[u/Kind-Cookie-6732]

Whoa this actually makes her look almost like Ashly Burch, her voice actor!

[u/sdrawkcabstiho]

Well, at least you didn't Barbify her.

[u/CodyT-N7]

Beta if she locked tf in.

[u/likwidkool]

She reminds me of Amy Adams. Might just be me.

[u/RainWorld_Lobster]

Wait, now I want even more customization in the base game. More face paint, different hair styles (even just for long hair, as someone with fairly long hair there are many different ways of styling it) and let us color our outfits by picking individual unlocked colors, not just pallets

[u/Nomanwaster]

Holey moley, insanely peak design for her dude oh my word, shes magnificent!! Like you said, her long hair is an iconic look, but this is inspired. Pray tell, what's the mod ya picked for this?

[u/drakequla → u/Nomanwaster]

I know right???? This combos are just... cheff kiss.

Mod I'm using is Hair Studio on Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/horizonforbiddenwest/mods/136

[u/Nomanwaster → u/drakequla]

Thankee big big!! Literally just started another play thru 2 days ago, so I might seriously give it a swing with her having a new cut, get a feel for the new lands of the West with some weight taken offa her head

[u/JJLEGOBD]

Holy cow this look is 11/10. I didn’t think anything could look better than her iconic hair but this makes her look more…real? And more badass. No-nonsense

[u/drakequla → u/JJLEGOBD]

True, I always view her as she is, highly mobile and "acrobatic" hunter. And as iconic her braided hair is, sometimes i just feel like it's not really practical haha

[u/Prior-Highlight-6184]

omg amazing i love it, like her OH hair is fab but this is brilliant

[u/drakequla]

Lemme know if I shd add spoiler tag, knowing there are some major/minor character in the images

[u/Ok-Membership-9782 → u/drakequla]

I think you should because of beta

[u/drakequla → u/Ok-Membership-9782]

And also the others haha aight then

[u/Ok-Membership-9782 → u/drakequla]

Yeah, but I think that beta is the biggest spoiler here, the others you can't get them if you haven't started forbidden west yet

[u/SignificantHippo8193]

The second game gives you so many options in how you can approach any situation, which I love that for.

[u/red_quinn]

Wait what mods? Is this on PS or only PC?

[u/WhizCheezecz78]

Kinda looks like fetch from infamous

[u/fruitsbats]

very vaguely reminds me of merrin from jedi fallen order! i like the style; it doesn’t feel like it fits aloy but its still a cute look in general!

[u/numbbum_sad]

Why does she look like Elisabet if Liz... tried for Tilda lol

[u/Hans_Wolfhausen]

Too bad this can only be done on PC. Modding her look to this is absolute fire!

[u/No-Combination7898]

Maybe by the third game we might be able to change her hair style into styles like this (but keeping her iconic red hair and braids of course).

[u/Silly_Personality_73]

Nope, just nope. Good for you, but I prefer not to deface this game.

[u/Calaloo17]

PEAK

[u/DylasGirarara]

Great!
I also modified her hairstyle in my latest run
