Some New Features I'd Like to See in Character Creation

WuffyCerulei

As far as mmos go, ESO has decent character creation features, like body size, shape, height, etc. However there, are a few things I'd like to see added:
•More hairstyles for each race. I love the variety ESO has, but unique hairstyles for each race would be nice.
•Seperation of facial hair and jewelry
•More war paint colors!! Been wanting that since beta!
•Better man buns. Who said men can't have nice round bums

If there's something you want to see added or fixed on the character creation, let me know!

I agree with all! And I will add...

- More hair colors, especially the ones available for npcs but not for us (black for Altmer and Nord, red for Khajiit and Imperial, white for Bosmer).
- Control over the color of the make up, accessories and war paint.
- Separation of war paint, make up and scars.
- Separation between different types of accessories (I would like my Bosmer to be able to use an accessory but keep her antlers).
- More sliders, like for horizontal mouth size and eyebrow angle.

I'm a simple guy, I would love for dark/black hair option for Altmers. Also hopefully we'll see new NPCs hair style.

That puts you on my list of "forum users that I love".

I would like the ability to go shorter if I wanted to. I'd even buy it. I'm a female bosmer but every time I see a male bosmer shorter than me, I hate it.

Please provide midget options!

(I'd also like some NPC hairstyles! And better makeup!)

TheShadowScout

Count me in for "structural" options! Allowing people to pay for exceeding the limits of some sliders might make for interesting options...

Sarcastic Midget Breton Nobles with a love for old wine and young women!
Imperial Wenches with Melon-sized Mammaries causing cart accidents in every city they pass through!
Giant (well, not giant-giants, but "titanborn" giantism for player characters...) Nord Barbarians!
Over-muscled and purple-trousered Orsimer continously mentioning how you wouldn't like them if they got angry!

Of course, I would also really want to see cross-racial skin/hair/eye color options as purchasable unlock. Dark haired Altmer. Dark Skinned Nords. Or any other combination people can think lf, really...

New hairstyles and such, I consider pretty much a given. They would be fools not to sell such once the character recustomization options goe slive...

Seperation of some selections... like... both adornments and beards, jewlery and bosmer antlers, etc. That would be very nifty, not sure if the system can be redone to manage it, but it would be neat if they managed. But if not... I will underatand and take what I can get.

I suggested this a while ago...

Since ESO is going to depend on Crown Shop Sales to sustain its development there are some Character Creation additions that would enable ZOS to make a good deal of money. I suggest they sell packs as well as a-la-carte items to add to the characters creation variety in ESO

• Advanced Khajiit Pack
• Advanced Argonian Pack
• Advanced Heights Pack
• A-la-carte choices

The following concept uses some of the concepts I outlined in both the Khajiit and Argonian update concepts.
Khajiit Update Concept: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/141710/suggestions-for-an-eventual-khajiit-centric-update/p1
Argonian Update Concept: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/147221/concept-for-a-future-argonian-centric-update

These packs would require the addition of new sliders to Khajiit and Argonian character creation. It would also include a widened range on many other sliders for all races. If a slider, or portion of a slider, has not been purchased by the player it should be grayed out. A player should be able to preview parts of the sliders not yet purchased but when they move to a different slider, the previous slider’s selection defaults back to an available selection on the slider.

Players should be allowed to purchase these packs directly from the character creation screen with their crowns. These mechanics would create a sort of ‘check-out-line’ environment where a player making a character can be enticed to make a purchase right then and there because they really want their Khajiit to have that feature or their Nord to have that hairstyle.

Advanced Khajiit Pack
This pack would include additional sliders for Khajiit characters only available to those who purchased this pack.

• Digitigrade or Plantigrade feet selector: Digitigrade feet would ‘hide’ any footware.
• Tail length slider: Allows players to have shorter tails all the way to no tail at all.
• Snout Slider: Allows players to have a shorter snout all the way to no snout at all (like the face of Men & Mer)
• Tail adornment: Allows players to add adornments to their tails, from tufts of fur on the end to piercings to large rings that go all the way around the tail. This pack should include a small selection for the player.
• Ear Placement Slider: Allows Players to move a Khajiit’s ears down the skull all the way to the side of their head (like the ears of Men & Mer)
• More fur/skin options: Allows players to choose skins with very little fur to skins with no fur at all.

Here is a chart of the types of Khajiit that could be created made by @Robo_Hobo and tweaked slightly by me.


Advanced Argonian Pack
This pack would include additional sliders for Argonian characters only available to those who purchased this pack.

• Digitigrade or Plantigrade feet selector: Digitigrade feet would ‘hide’ any footware.
• Tail length slider: Allows players to have shorter tails all the way to no tail at all.
• Snout Slider: Allows players to have a shorter snout all the way to no snout at all (like the face of Men & Mer)
• Tail adornment: Allows players to add adornments to their tails, from spikes to piercings to large rings that go all the way around the tail. This pack should include a small selection for the player.
• Tail Type slider: Allows players to choose between different types of tails, from smooth wispy tails to flat tadpole-like tails to thick crocodile type tails.
• More scale options: Allows players to choose a wider variety of scale patterns.

Advanced Heights Pack
Additional Height options for most races. This should be a one-time purchase for players that includes all height additions.
Current race height range: (===)
Additional slider range: (---)

A-la-carte choices
Each of the following types of additions should be able to be purchased one at a time.

• Body Markings
• Hair Style
• Adornment
• Head Marking
• Tail Adornments (for Khajiit and Argonian)

Having these types of additional options would set up a system that could earn ZOS quite a bit of money and could later be grown into a robust barber shop where body markings, hair styles, adornments, head markings, and tail adornments could be changed by a player paying in game gold or by buying Barbet Shop tokens in the Crown store. If the Barber Shop token is the method of choice, the purchase of any of these packs or individual items should also include one token.

Thoughts?

In addition to that I would LOVE to see additional slots that separate all the adornments... we should be able have many of the different types of adornments together on one character.

I'm hopeful that we will see this in the future with the barbershop.
