Black Hair for Altmers

Chaos2088

I needs, I wants, please pretty please.

VaranisArano

Yes please!

My Skyrim Dragonborn was an Altmer with black hair. We've seen multiple Altmer NPCs with black hair.

Please. Black hair ought to be available.

Or maybe we could just get a pack of hair dye available for every race. I'd pay for that.

Kikazaru

Need red hair for khajiits.

Starlock

We all do. Apparently it is the exclusive right of daedric cultists...

Reistr_the_Unbroken

Why isn’t this an option yet? I’m so tired of using dark brown, thinking it looks black in the terrible creation lighting.

They sold their soul for it, I think. It will be released in the game as soon as ZOS figures out the soul-to-Crown conversion rate.

If the Triad had offered me that, my Altmer hero might have said "You can have Crystal Tower!"

Ostacia

Yes! I've wanted this for my main character since I started playing ESO!

AWinterWolf

Yes, please! I hate having to put up with a shade of 'muddy brown' that looks terrible in certain lights, but is the closest thing to black I can actually get.

Would pay 1.5k crowns for hair dye pack that would let us customize character hair color akin to what is already available for hairstyles and adornments. It would be better if it were for all races of course, not just for altmer to get a black hair option in character creation.

Honestly, I don't know why it hasn't come out already. From a logical stand point it should have come out first. Its definitely more lore friendly. Not that I care about lore personally, but I know immersion matters about what makes it into the game.

How is it that a character can magically make their hair grow or disappear by inches in a second, but can't dye it like a person in real life could?

The EU Bee and me been asking for this for YEARS. Even made posts about it. Never gonna happen. ):

Sylvermynx

I haven't had an Altmer that needed black hair. Then again, no telling when I might.... so yeah. +1 from me.

AefionBloodclaw

It wouldn't be hard to implement hair dying, and also to make all available colours to all races, as is lore correct like in other Elder Scrolls games. It's been asked for by many players, many times, yet they just continue to ignore us.

People have been asking for this since the game came out. No reason not to add it but still they haven’t...

Don't they have? Raz has red hair.

And yes you can dye hair.

Use your imagination

Please give black hair option to Altmers. There are black haired Altmer npcs in the game already too, so why not give it as option to players also?

Pretty please?

Osteos

This thread hasn't been around in quite awhile. I support a hair dyes or a hair color pack like the styles pack.

DOOOO EEEEEET ZOS

I support goth high elves. XD

Hair dye cosmetics.

MornaBaine

Why haven't ALL the hair and eye colors been unlocked for ALL the races yet? They've done it for hairstyles and "face markings" so it makes no sense for them NOT to offer this as well.

TheShadowScout

I think we ought to get a whole option menu of cross-racial coloring selections.

Then we could finally make "halfbreed" characters, like a heavily tanned-skinned nord wrestler, or a fair haired redguard bard, or a red-eyed breton battlemage... or yes indeed, a black haired altmer!

After all, that's how it works in magical tamriel, kids are always the race of their mother, but with some traced of their father also present.

And next...
...I would also like to see some "structural unlocks" in the crown store, allowing us to exceed one of the standard slider limits for a character. Like... make "titanborn" extra-tall nords, or extra-muscular orcs you would not like when angry, or extra-fat redguard harem guards who gave up much for their job, or extra-petite pixielike dunmer assassins who are often overlooked, or extra-skinny altmer models snacking on a lettuce leaf per day, or extra-busty imperial matrons who make the best pasta, or extra-short breton dwarves who drink wine and know things...

How do we sign up?

We all know the altmer have gothic architecture for a reason. Different kind of goth I guess but let us be goths ZoS.

All of this. Absolutely ALL of this!

Wouldn't hair dye just be cool with a few highlight layers per wig?

I would love this so much. Two of my characters are supposed to be mixed. The one is a Nord who claims his father was Dunmer. I gave him red eyes in other games (yay mods), but I can't in ESO so he just wears a blindfold to hide it. It'd be fantastic if I could, at least one day, actually give him the proper eye color.

The other is the daughter of two of my other characters. Her mother is Imperial and her father is Altmer. I think I got her features down (she's a very tall Imperial with a fairly narrow frame and a more angular face), but again, it's the eyes that aren't quite right. Female Imperials do have a brown-ish eye color that shines orange under light. I went with that, but I'd love it if I could give her the same eye color that her father has.

If we could have eye packs or hair color packs or whatever so we could mix things up, that'd be great. If the game allows it, anyway.

Tigerseye

But, Altmer are supposed to be quite fair/light skinned/haired, aren't they?

Why wouldn't you just play another race, if you want black hair?

Oh, racials...

Having said that, I wouldn't be adverse to hair dyes, in general - my Bosmer would quite like some highlights.
