Dunmer and their pandaness

I created a female dark elf and she looked really great during creation. She was then subsequently ejected into open world and developed these huge bags under her eyes, as if she was on crack for two years straight. What's up with that? Did I just not do it right, or is this standard upon creation? I mean, she looks like she has vampirism since birth!

    She developed those bags after finding out Morrowind isn't a DLC, its an add on, and she had to front $40 for it even with her ESO plus membership.

    This is something I've noticed, too. I think it has something to do with the way the Dunmer eye tilt is rendered in the engine outside character creation... it basically gives them a squint that you didn't see in the creator, which leads to you seeing a lot more eyelid than you were expecting.

    I was severely disappointed when this happens to a Dunmer I made recently, then infected with vampirism... the vampirism only made it look so much worse. The only solution is to either remake the character or buy an expensive Change Appearance token in the Crown Store. In either case, really jack down the squint, and you'll end up looking relatively normal... though there's still some of that effect, especially with certain makeup.

    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    (Signature idea shamelessly stolen from Abeille.)

    Because you didn't spend enough time in the CC.

    My Dunmer has absolutely NO bags. You just have to play with the CC a lot more if you want to perfect the look.

    I think I deleted my "main" 3 times before finally getting it right on the 4th try.

    All characters seem to come out of the creator slightly different than what you see in it, it's just a matter of how obvious of a difference is it?

    Stormproof: Vibeke - 50 EP mDragonknight | Savi Dreloth - 50 EP Magsorc | Sadi Dreloth - 50 EP Magblade | Sigtric Stormaxe - 50 EP Stamsorc | Valora Dreloth - 50 EP Magplar | Sigtric the Unbearable 50 EP Stam Warden
    Scrub: Chews-on-Beavers - 50 EP DK Tank | Vera the Wild - 50 EP magicka Warden | Sigtric the Axe - 50 EP Dragonknight Crafter | Sigtric the Blade - 50 EP Lost Nightblade | Sigtric the Savage - 50 EP magicka Templar | Vibeka Shadowblade - 50 Ep Stealthy Ganky Nightblade |

    After deleting several leveled characters due to looks I've learned to spend a great deal of time on character creation. I've also noticed that they don't look the same after creation. However with Dunmer the difference is so drastic that they really do look like they've gone through some sort of massive drug addiction during the time between character creation and output into the game world.

    I will try again by minimizing squint. I typically set squint to absolute minimum but may or may not have done this with the dark elf.

    A big reason that characters seem to look different is the angle the cc shows your character at, its very different than the one that you'll see in character windows and the character select screen. It would be nice if they would let us tilt the camera up and down so we can see from all angles.

    Our women have to be as strong as ALM, as cunning as SI, and as brave as VI!

    Dumner are weird. They're the only race I've seen that look different in the creation screen than they do in the game. The only way I've been able to make a Dumner look exactly how I want is to make her first on the PTS, write down all her specs, then re-create her on the live server.

    Also, they look different in different lighting, which is just bizarre. :#
