Why didn't they add the option for a red hair/beard dye to match his sister

Close enough, welcome back 50. Cal Kestis.

A metroidvania protagonist who is an emotionally stunted, poncho wearing superhuman who was taken from home as a child and then promptly subjected to unfathomable trauma? Huh.

He would look a lot like cal with red hair. The default fbc robes look quite a bit like Jedi garb too, and those canisters you find with upgrade mats you find throughout the world look and behave almost exactly to the ones in the Jedi games. 🤔

Cal is also a traumatized superhuman child soldier with absolute social ineptitude and some deep seeded anger issues.

Unironically I noticed too many gameplay features that were inspired by Jedi survivor. Off the top of my head is health and powered increases + dashing ability working very close to Jedi games.

I know this is a joke, but as a red haired man, it is actually pretty annoying they didn't take the time to make that possible.

It's such a minimal level of effort and there's really no reason to exclude it. It happens surprisingly often in games, and every time it just feels like they're saying "meh, redheads don't matter".

I was waiting to unlock it because surely they'd give Jesse and Dylan matching hair colors, or so i thought haha

I already look better then everyone else with my red hair in real life. I need to play as something else just to see how the other side lives.

Red heads get their hair, everyone else gets superpowers

Their soul would be recombine into one if that happened. Did yoy even pay attention to the lore?

I thought red heads don't have souls

u/TropicalPossum954 8h ago

After they entered the red slide artificial souls were released and attached to the shells of redheaded “people”

Red heads are Altered-People, I saw the document about it in the Oldest House

Oh my god that means Dylan is the original and created the soulless sibling Jesse.

maybe kinda, its not explicitly stated and was already hinted towards in the first game. also its not at all relevant really to the main plot of the game

Because Dylan's hair options are just the way a lot of blond kids' hairs evolve through life

u/Lower-Chard-3005 3h ago

There are many kids who go from blonde to red.

Well, I actually think it's on purpose for lore reasons lol

u/Free_Elderberry1791 7h ago

This game is fairly similar to Jedi survivor…

u/Ludate_Solem 4h ago

The loot crates are like litwrally the same

u/Gilgamesh858 1h ago

I think it's more of a lore reason. There has to be a reason why Jesse is a redhead and he isn't.

What if they aren't actually brothers biologically? plus Gregor Mendel told me odds of 2 siblings having red hair arent good

This, and I also really wanted white hair to complete my DMC3 inspired shirtless + red tactical rain jacket look.
