Skin tone change please.

Why not put a skin tone change option in the crown store? My Imperial is very tan even on highest light option. Have all the skin tones please.

ADarklore✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I think OP wants to change the skin tone to something beyond the character screen racial offering. Imperials are naturally 'tan', so even the lightest setting still makes them somewhat dark. However, this is a RACE aspect, which means they cannot be made to be something they are not. As an example... Imperials cannot become as light as Bretons, because it's not part of their racial genetics.CP: 1950 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Sorcerer ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****6 -

✭✭✭✭✭You can do that with the appearance change tokens
The option OP is asking for isn't available in the Character Cretor and therefore couldn't be changed to by using the Appearance Change Token.
He wants Imperials with a lighter skin tone that is currently available for them. Skin tones like the Tharn family has.I think OP wants to change the skin tone to something beyond the character screen racial offering.

There are lighter skinned Imperials, however. I am not well-versed on the particularities of the races of Men since they do not really interest me much, but I know there are some skin tones differences depending on where in Cyrodiil they come from (and, again, the Tharn family is very pale).Edited by Abeille on March 13, 2017 3:24PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair.

Anyways, I suppose if someone really REALLY wants their Imperial to be super pale, Vampire Stage 1 is an option, sorta. But then they have to give up on their eye color too. Perhaps they just want to be from the northern parts of Cyrodiil (if that's where the paler Imperials come from.

Yeah, I do not expect a Skin Tone pack to be added to the store to be honest. Although, I think the number of available skin tones in Character Creator needs to be wider for some races.

Yeah there's a lot of annoyance with the variance between what's available for players (see: black hair for altmer, lighter skintones for Imperials) and what npcs can have.

Redguards already have the lore-friendly options available to them. This is not the case with other races of Men and Mer and it is not fair to harm the very lore-friendly customization options of other races to stop people from giving skins that you deem "too white" for Redguards.
Some hair styles and adornments have race restrictions. They can very well do the same here.MLGProPlayer wrote: »Imperials are based on IRL Italians/Iberians. They are naturally tanned.

✭OP your options are:
Make a Breton
OR
Become a vampire for a more pale complexion.
Imperials are based off "Romans" in a way and they are Mediterranean and are very tan even if Tamriel is a fantasy wold it draws elements from certain things and in the case of Imperials it drew from the Roman Empire
@Duiwel:Join ORDER OF SITHIS We're recruiting! PC EU"Dear Brother. I do not spread rumours. I create them..."0 -
I know I'm late to this topic, but it seems rather depressing to see a number of these responses ignore the fact that Imperials (like the real-world Italians and the ancient Romans) are a very diverse people, both in terms of the Cyrodiilic people's culture but also their physical traits. I'll probably chime in one last time since I know I've discussed this enough.
As @Abeille has mentioned, there are plenty of fairer skinned Imperials walking around - the most prominent examples being a number of the Tharn family and many who are part of the different Legions throughout Tamriel. And it's not just Online that boasts pale and light skinned Imperials (both Colovians and Nibenese, by the way - their differences are cultural only. Just had to get that out there). Oblivion and Skyrim had plenty walking around.
The "typical" image of an Imperial doesn't mean "all Imperials" - just like the typical image of a Breton does not mean all Bretons have facial features that resemble a cross between Man and Mer's with spindly limbs and manes of curly dark brown hair, nor are all Nords giant, pasty-skinned barbarians with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The character creation system needs to be adjusted for a number of the races - Imperials needing either additional skintone options (just like the Orcs do as Abeille mentioned), races like the High Elves need more hair color options because we know there are plenty with black hair and darker hair colors, Argonians could use extra color options for their scales, etc. And a number of these limitations on players can be fixed by giving those options found on NPCs of these different races to the players - it seems odd to have numerous NPCs display traits that their race clearly has physically while players are given the creative shaft.1
