Golden Saint costume= very dissapoint

Masterhand911
I was hoping that along with the armor, my skin would turn gold. It says you look EXACTLY like a dreaded golden saint.


Nope, I just get golden armor with my pale skin showing. Clearly, I look exactly like a dreaded golden saint, with my human skin and my facepaint.

    You read too much into it OP. One does look (in regards to armor) like a Golden Saint.

    They should then specify then you are getting their armor, not being morphed into them.

    You can preview every single Crown Store costume on your own character in-world before buying on all platforms. Why on Tamriel did you not do that before buying it?

    Well, that was stupid of me.

    It is an in game costume, from reaching one of the VR levels. It isn't sold in the Crown store.

    Just about every costume in game is underwhelming ... having said that my personal favourite is the Moth priest appearance from the Kollopi Essence.

    Having said that, I did buy the Crown Store Drauger for my Nord, now that's an appearance to die for!

    Edit ..

    A nice list of disguises is here

    Edit again ..

    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    So by that logic, I should be disappointed that the Mannimarco costume doesn't actually turn me into Mannimarco?

    Back then when I was showing a friend the VR6 reward, he said "but your skin is not purple".. Same thing ;) But for my taste it's ok when these costumes do not change your skin as well, I don't want to be golden or purple :)

    I think what you were hoping for @Masterhand911, was a Golden Saint Polymorph. Maybe they'll add them to the Crown Store. Go over to the Crown Store Suggestion thread to put your idea there.
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/146991/crown-store-item-wish-list/p1

    or maybe make a post in the Crown Store forum:
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/crown-store-and-eso-plus

    Why the suggestion thread isn't in the Crown Store forum is beyond me.

    That gave me a good chuckle. Thank you for that.

    Yes, the mannimarco costume should make you mannimarco. Or at least give you the option to be him.

    No. Just no.

    I was once (ok more than once)The Nerevarine, without actually becoming Indoril Nerevar. To pull that off while retaining character individually is a much greater feat than donning a bloody costume. You're playing dress up, you're not actually becoming a saint, or mannimarco, or crafty lerisa. You're just putting on a fancy outfit

    Good point.

    Actually the whole imaginary character is sorta dress-up of sorts anyway.

    We clearly need more motifs.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
