Red Dead Redemption 2: 14 Pointless Details That'll Blow You Mind

4. Your Hair Grows Gradually Overtime

A new mechanic for Rockstar's games, and a departure from the previous template used to customise characters, players in Red Dead 2 will now have to contend with a growing head of hair and facial hair too. In order to ensure Arthur doesn't look too scruffy, they'll have to head to a barber and get a cut, trim and/or shave, but they won't be able to magically sprout hair once in the shop.

Whereas before players in GTA could hop into their nearest salon and instantly change a buzz-cut into a long-flowing mullet-esque mane, they'll have to actually grow it themselves this time. The same goes for a beard, which can only be stylised and trimmed once it's at a certain length.

Again, it's yet another minor detail, but one that ups the immersion factor just enough to make Red Dead feel all that more lived in.
