I was able to give my Altmer black hair 
In ESO.... This is the darkest hair color that I can choose from
With all these patches and housing DLC that came through over the months.... No black hair for Altmers.
I'm a very sad panda bear.
ZOS why no black hairs for Altmers?

and you are playing in a continent the furthest away from the summerset isles - so there was probably a lot of dilution of bloodlines.
thats a lot of factors that can affect the hair color of altmer between the two games.

Except there are already black-haired Altmer in the game, as NPCs. So it's a good thing neither of you is Loremaster.

✭✭✭✭✭Why not compare the character creation with ESO with that in Arena? I'm sure you'll be more impressed than when comparing it with that in Skyrim.
Of course, ESO is neither Arena nor Skyrim, nor any of the other TES games inbetween.
You either accept that, or play one of the others if that suits you better. Personally, I'd make my choice over something a tad more meaningful than the colour of my character's hair, but each to his own. Meanwhile, I'm puzzled as to why anyone should think everything in this game should be the same as everything in another game.1 -

✭Yes to more customisation options in general. Also, i'm obliged to say... @Abeille?
Who exactly is abeille?Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.0 -

Exactly.
Perhaps those loremasters weren't so busy grinding their CP in the skyreach catacombs and spent more time questing for their xp then they'll realize that their are black haired Altmers prowling about in the game.

Why hello that would be me, nice to meet you. I was a little lost in space due to a certain release that happened last week so I missed the notifications. Hi everybody!
To the people who are arguing against it "because lore", I was ready to school you peeps but I see that other lovelies already did it for me xD
So now that any possible lore issue is out of the way... Black hair please?PelinalWhitestrake wrote: »They dyed their hair... NotPureBloodHighElves.
It is possible they are pure, since most of them are part of the Veiled Heritance and they are the kind of group that would take that issue seriously. But I don't mind if it is added as hair dye. As long as my Altmer can have it, I'm good.Edited by Abeille on March 30, 2017 3:38PMJust so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

None of us are against weapon coloring... It would be a significant lore improvement, since we wouldn't be running around with pink/red/blueish-purple weapons.raidentenshu_ESO wrote: »ZOS why no black hairs for Altmers?

I think you meant "people who think they know the lore but actually do not", although I think the post you quoted was a joke.
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING in the lore stops us from having weapons dyes and more hair colors.
Black-haired Altmer exist in ESO already.
Anyone who tries to use lore to justify us not being able to make a black-haired Altmer have no idea of what they are talking about, or are just being funny.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
