I actually think all of this is a big waste of time and money. lol Why games just can't let us access the character creation option to fine tune/change hair styles/markings etc (or have the need to change a High Elf's voice from a pre-teen asian girl because you forgot to sample it first) is just lame to me. It's a fun part of any game. --and ZoS could still sell you some DLC hairstyles or what ever else you desire. I'd rather them work on actual content and fixing the game... how hard can it be by letting us access the character creation screen -that already exists- be compared to opening shops everywhere?

It's the difference between creating an immersive world and creating a shallow world with the game being driven by menus. It's a design creativity choice, nothing more.

Option 1: Visit an in-game barber with which you may interact to change your style.
Option 2: open a menu anywhere to access character creation.

To me, option 2 sounds boring and dull. If I wanted my Role Playing to be menu based, I'd play a MUD.

Why does this have to be behind a Gold Sink? We don't pay for the appearance of our character when we make them, but the screen we make them in results in a character that looks different in the game.

Put a cool down on it, sure, but I would rather not be charged for something that I need to do because of how the game makes my character look in the creation screen vs in game.

Paying real life money? Absolutely not. I will keep a helmet on my characters before I do that.

^This. IMO a way to customize your character post original creation should be a standard feature in MMORPGs and RPGs alike. While I'm not completely against paying money it should be limited compared to what you can change for free.

Crown Store:
Inside the Crown Store, players should be able to buy the following for Crowns (Prices are provided as examples)

• 400 Crowns - New Hair Styles (Each purchase includes the ability to change Hair Style one time, including Hair color)
• 400 Crowns - New Adornments (Beard & Jewelry, each purchase includes the ability to change Adornments one time, including Hair Color)
• 600 Crowns - New Body Markings (Each purchase includes the ability to change Body Markings one time)
• 600 Crowns - New Head Markings (Each purchase includes the ability to change Head Markings one time)
• 400 Crowns - 4 Pack Feature Change: 4 pack (Each purchase give the player 4 tokens. Each token allows the player to change one feature)
• 1000 Crowns - Character Alteration Token (Allows players to re-enter the Body & Face portions of the Character Creation system. It includes the ability to change hairstyle, adornment, hair color, body markings and head markings.)

$4 and $6 for new features and $10 to redo creation? That is a bit steep.

Yea. The numbers were just a suggestion based on the the prices for pets and such.

Do you think GTA 5s barber shop mechanic is bad?

lol, I was quoted in a quote in one of the famous Gidorick's posts! More so like side-show famous I guess @Forestd16b14_ESO

Strider_Roshin

More male long hair hairstyles please. Other than that the OP is spot on. Excellent suggestions, I hope ZOS uses it.

With certain barbers, depending on the race of the barber, they should only offer race specific haircuts. Particularly at the barber carts.

This is a really cool idea, how would it work? They only offer barber services if you're that race?

I think it would work like this: A barber in Hammerfell and a barber in High Rock offer a Nord a haircut, both barbers can give the Nord haircuts that were available to him in character creation, but the Hammerfell barber could offer a few hairstyles from the Redguard selection in addition to the base haircuts, while the High Rock barber could not, but would offer some Breton styles instead.

LuminaLilly

This may be a bit high, even a tad off topic, but how about facial reconstruction?

Like in the dawnguard dlc in skyrim has a "face sculptor" that has a brief character facial redesign for a hefty fee.

Perhaps 5k gold for facial and body work.

I would love it if there were "Face Sculptors" in ESO. I don't think it should be as prolific as the Barber shop. Like... there should be at least 1 barber shop per zone but maybe only 1 face sculptor per faction.

excellent! Lol. I love the thought that the barber would say thing like "Not nearly as nice as Redguard hair..." which would tell the player what kind of special hairstyles they would have.

"But if you MUST have a Breton haircut..."

Violynne

I spent nearly an hour perfecting my beautiful Kahjiit. I have zero interest in changing anything about her. If the barber shop does offer new hair styles, I may visit, but otherwise, I'll wave as I pass by on my Senche-Lioness.
:P

Ljungstroem

If I can just make my character taller id pay almost any price. No Troll.

Taleof2Cities

Please see the awesome work done by Apachii at Nexus Mods for Skyrim (link below) for ideas. Something like this would be great, ZOS ... hope you're looking. I've attached a few shots of my Skyrim characters using this mod.

nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10168/?

Bleakraven

Yep, also I want to be able to have a scars category seperate from facial hair for males or makeup for females.
And the ability to change the color of makeup, warpaint and tattoos. Also, earrings/tiaras seperate from makeup too
More hairstyles, especially long hairstyles or hairstyles that don't look like just a texture painted on the character's skull... you know, something with some volume!

bedlom

As long as there actual shops/buildings and not more outdoor market stools.

DPower11

I think people would like a way to change their character's body. I would think that this would be more expensive than a hairstyle but for someone who wants to change the body, this feature would be much better than having to change races from an Altmer to an Altmer when that option is available.

Thoughts?

I still want to know what @QueenAyrenn thinks is wrong with the GTA V barber shop...

SpartachVIII

I would love to change my hairstyle and add a scar.. or remove a scar or two...So I'm with this 100%

Digiman

Face sculpter would also allow people to change there physical appearance and is canon.

More jewelry options, especially earrings - and while some of the "forehead" sets are nice, I'd love to see all of those earrings as options by themselves (right now, only some are). Something else that should be easy is to make those jewelry options change color, much like the dye system. So someone should be able to choose different metal colors, and different gem colors, easily. That would instantly help folks make characters look more unique.

slumber_sandb16_ESO

I want my orc to be able to have horns as well as a beard, currently thats impossible since they're part of the same category. Barber needs to have more options and seperate stuff like that. Facial decoration should be seperate from facial hair.

justinbarrett

I want more hairstyles and tattoos, colored tattoos and tattoos that have a glow effect...I also want all hair colors unlocked for every race.....eye colors would be nice too...but I'm not sure how much I care about that...you should not be able to change raCE THOUGH...that is just silly.
