中世紀題材遊戲《騎士之路》（Knight's Path）官方近日在社交媒體上發布了一篇科普帖，詳細解釋了遊戲中部分女性角色為何會遮蓋頭髮，引發了玩家群體的熱烈討論。
Wondering why some women in Knight’s Path cover their hair? Here’s a little historical context. In 15th century Central Europe, especially in the German lands and Bohemia, covering or dressing the hair was extremely common. Married women generally covered their hair in public, while unmarried women had more freedom to wear it uncovered. Working women also often covered or tied up their hair for practical reasons. In short, Knight’s Path will portray both sides of medieval fashion, married and working women with their hair traditionally covered, and young maidens free to wear theirs uncovered, long, flowing, braided, or styled in many different ways.
據官方介紹，在15世紀的中歐地區，尤其是德意志諸邦和波希米亞，女性遮蓋或精心打理頭髮是一種極為普遍的社會習俗。已婚女性在公共場合通常需要遮蓋頭髮，這既是社會禮儀的要求，也是身份的象徵;而未婚少女則擁有更多自由，可以披散頭髮示人。此外，從事勞動的女性出於實用性考慮，也常常將頭髮遮蓋或束起。
《騎士之路》將在遊戲中忠實呈現這一歷史細節。已婚女性和勞動婦女將以傳統方式遮蓋頭髮，而年輕少女則可以自由地披散、編織或以各種方式打理長發。這種設計不僅體現了開發團隊對中世紀服飾文化的深入研究，也讓遊戲世界更加真實可信。
