Why not just have an option where you can have your beard disappear when you die, that way you can turn it off if you want to keep the beard or keep it on if you just want it to leave with you when you depart.
I agree IC it don't make sense to keep scars and stuff from death and loose a beard. It is just stupid the way it is set up right now. No idea what they are goin to do with it but It would be nice to see it change, I hate stubble!
