So instead of just letting characters dye weapons and shield while doing this update, it gets extended to shields only?

I guess obvious solution isn't always obvious.

    The swords ALREADY have all these weird colors, though, and they just get uglier with higher level mats. It's very difficult to match your armor and shield with these "ruby" colored metal pieces, and purple voidsteel is almost as bad.

    I just want my weapons to look like normal steel!

    Dyeing swords pink makes as much sense as dying your metal armour pink. (And if people want to do it, then let them go for it! :wink: )

    I love anything that makes my character more customisable, and therefore more "unique". So I am all for being able to dye any and all equipment! :smiley:

    What I would really like to see is a toggle to ignore all and every color on every armor/weapon items in the whole *** game.
    Not because Z's choice of default colors is that convincing but because it's still a lot better than the color taste of way too many ***-bags running around on my screen.

    I mean it's client-side only anyway... gimme that and then give everyone the ability to dye their stuff in a fluorescent yellow for all I care.
    They're happy, they would see it on their end and I am happy because I am not forced to see it on my end.
    Win for everyone.

    This is funny because the person wants dye in the game to make the pre-made "dye" a normal steel insterd of "ruby red"
    He/she is not againt dyeing.

    I personally dyes my Steel Steel. rest a mix of leather and Covernant blue. So my theme is ruined with a red greatsword..
    Make weapons dyeable please

    Yes, Zenimax does not plan to add Weapon Dyes. They said this at the same time they confirmed Shield Dyes were coming.

    Personally I would love to see weapon dyes, and yes, for -exactly- the reason to make any red rubedite blades steel-ish grey (or bronze on occasion. maybe some dwemer metal too. Or staff tips in gold, silver, copper and such. That sort of thing...). But alas...

    Well at first the said weapon and shield dyes were gonna come together. Then they said weapon dyes be a few weeks after shield due to more unique weapon int he game. Now we have costume dyes confirmed for Thieves guild update and nothing on weapon dyes now.

    Like ZOS sorry but it's not that hard to find a 3 color scheme for weapons. Take swords for example there's the blade (1st), the leather parts be the handle or leather wrappings(2), and the shoulder grip and pomple(3).

    Bows can be the same. Metal parts is one the wood is a 2nd and any leather wrappings are the 3rd part.

    Again I am sorry @ZOS but I for one am sick of a giant metallic red greatsword. I spent a hour on finding the right combination of greys and brown to make a realistic color scheme of armor and I hate that it's ruined with a giant red sword on my back. Yes there are red swords in TES such as that beam blade from the Dragonborn DLC in Skyrim but that's not my cup of tea so to speak. Grey steel color or green swords are my cup,.
