Is there a way to change character appearance after the creation menu?

bobay4224ub17_ESO · March 2014

I am level 8, I have a character which I like, but I really messed up on their height, which is really killing it for me. Is there a way I can edit their height without fully recreating them? I know I am only level 8, but even if it costs gold, I would change it.

I'm afraid this isn't available yet, sorry. I think it likely that ZOS will add something like that in a future update.

I think that is the kind of thing they want to make a cash shop purchase. Not sure though.

I can see ZOS making some money from this, no once created you are done.

I creates a Wood Elf DK. Had her looking good. Started the game, hit I and when I looked at her she looked like an old hag. So much for their character creation. I'm going to delete her and try again. If I get the same results then I'll wait for a patch.

At the moment, people tend to just be re-creating their characters.

I'm on the exact same page as you. Height and everything.
A lot of people are thinking it will come as a cash shop type item, but it's hard not having a definite yes or no, huh?

I've submitted a ticket about this and I'm hoping to hear back from them soon. It'd be really awesome if you could do the same and then post the info in here if you get it, that way we're covered on two front, in case only one of us gets the email.

They could add an option during respeccing.

So much for you not adjusting the Age slider, you mean.

I have no doubt character customization will be an added feature in the future but for now, if you're truly unhappy with character appearance and only level 8 I recommned you delete and get it right next time.

To be honest I was expecting to not be able to change my characters' appearances after creation. Mainly because this wasn't an option in Skyrim, Oblivion, or Morrowind. It's why I spent about 30mins playing around with all the different options in the CC screen before starting the game. The CC screen is pretty good and I don't think there's much I would change about my characters. My tip would be to put more thought into it at the start.

For everything else, there's costumes!

I messed up on the height of my character too, but deleted and restarted before even leaving cold harbor

Considering there is a prevalent bug that prevents you from zooming in to see your character's face... yes, people will need a makeover at some point. (and yes I know that second character is ok)

morgueanna · April 2014

I logged on just after the servers came up, and creating my first character, the creation screen wouldn't zoom in for the facial features. So I had to guess and now I'm not really happy with how it turned out. But I barely see her face in-game anyway, so I'm happy to wait until something is implemented. For me, it's not game ruining because I play to explore, craft, and beat up bad guys

deleting my character and restarting is not an option for me. am not getting an XP refund am I? please don't charge people real money for this option either. that is low down. just let anyone re customize their appearance whenever they want. whats the big deal.

It is an option in Skyrim with one of the DLCs. Not sure of which one though.

Only 30 minutes, pfft

Seriously though, I timed myself last night on character creation for my main, took me exactly 1 hour and 20 minutes on the nose before I was happy to click create and move on. Yes, Tragic I know! $:\$

I reckon I spent about 30 minutes just on one alt, he is a Huge Nord that looks like Jason Statham, only much, much taller hehehe

Added to that, I already has sketched out long ago what all of their names would be, roughly what they would look like and it STILL too me that long. Talk about being OCD.

Dawnguard. It was under Riften, I believe, in the Ratway.

They have said that in the future they will add more hair and other styles and will have a way of changing your character's look in-game (all of this post-launch).

Please no cash shop for given that this is p2p...
