Hrm, everyone seems to agree...

Welp, looks like this is never going to happen.

No love to us from developers. They already have a preview window for the store and dye station. How hard could it be to make this work at a crafting station. This has been an ask for some time. There is a lot to like about this game, but in many ways (and lack of preview being one of them), it feels very unfinished. We joke that we are console beta testers, but this is an example why it feels true.

As I come from the Skyrim modding scene (Nexus), I already thought this would be a default feature of the game at launch. The same applies to an ingame face sculpting/changing feature to adress changes in visible character appearance.

I still wonder how many MMOs launch today and do not know what a standard/default feature is.

I know that on eso-fashion.com we can see pretty much all kinds of armor made of different materials.

But what I would love to see in-game is a preview of the armor and weapons you consider to craft. Imagine it like the way we can preview a mount in the crown store.
The icon alone is not enough since it's way too small to recognize any details, and it displays only the male version.

Since I use to combine different styles (I know them all), I'd like to see which style "goes best" with another.
I do have some nice combinations already, but I want to see if there's more

Also, for new players who don't know how all kinds of styles in each weight look like, this might be an option, and also an incentive to learn these styles, if they don't know it yet.

It has been requested before, and highly supported. It would be a great addition to the game.

Zenimax would rather add more Graglorn crap that everyone hates instead.

I've used the search function and couldn't find anything, nor did I remember any posting like this, so I just thought I'll create a thread myself

But, I'm afraid you're right with your last sentence. I guess we all want to finally see more zones, but there are still some very basics missing (like a crafting preview, for example) which also should FINALLY be added to the game.

Yeah, it really should have been there at launch. AT LEAST a "floating in the open space" preview (like we had it in Skyrim), like @NewBlacksmurf wrote.

And for the appearance change, it was also featured in Skyrim where an NPC in Riften offers this, but we also could use the console command "showracemenu" and could change it all (everything including name, race, etc, from scratch), if we would want to

Unfortunately, no console commands for us in ESO^^

Much needed feature

Moonshadow66 · May 2015

Since everyone who posted here agreed, I really hope this will be considered for a future update.

Marques · July 2015

Agreed that this is a much needed feature in any modern MMORPG. Any idea or feedback if the developers are at least listening and considering this?

Good question...
@ZOS_RichLambert How about a /lurk, at least?

Honestly, I could see this becoming a reality, especially considering we have a previewer already in-game with regards to looking at costume armour before purchasing from the Crown Store. Whilst not entirely the same thing, that preview mechanic does seem to provide some foundation of hope to hold on to for it's future application to all armour/arms etc.

Mickey_Ox · July 2015

+1 from me, a nobrainer for sure

drzycki_ESO · July 2015

Anyway YES ZoS PUT IN TODAY!!!!!!

Troneon · July 2015

Something that should of been in game since beginning.

Talemire · May 2016

I hate to be the necro guy, but someone has to say it in regards to this topic: One year later...

Blevil · May 2016

This and a feature to let you know exactly what style an existing armor is.

Rune_Relic · May 2016

No ETA™

I kind of grow tired of more and more FICa, some not even close to be nice, bugs proliferating quickly and small things, relatively speaking, that the community, a.k.a. the customers, are asking being neglected because something else, again, not even that great is being developed instead.

Villious · May 2016

Yes. This should definitely be a thing. It would also be great to have the ability to preview armor and weapons that are for sale on the guild stores.

hamburgerler76 · May 2016

this is has bin asked for alot and i think its as simple as they dont know how. they have said they would like to add this but just never had

SkydomAK03 · May 2016

Yes, we need that, always have to open google and check how the armor looks when i craft something in ESO, an ingame option for that would be very useful.
