Let me put this in context for you since i've spent quite a bit of time in character creation. The beard situation is pretty straightforward though maybe not what you're hoping for. When you're making your character, you'll see some preset beard options you can choose from, especially if you're going with certain races like dark elves who have some nice facial hair styles. The thing is, you cant really customize them beyond picking what's already there and they're usually part of complete face presets.

If you're looking to fine-tune your facial hair, like adjusting length or styling individual parts, you might feel a bit limited since there aren't any separate sliders for mustaches or beard shapes. One thing that's kinda interesting though, is you can still use the showracemenu console command to change your appearance later, but you're still working with those same preset options.

Just keep in mind that while the remaster brings some nice visual upgrades, the character creation system stays pretty close to the original when it comes to facial hair. Its not like newer games where you can spend hours perfecting every hair on your face, but the presets they do have look pretty decent, especially with the updated graphics.
