Outfit system improvement

notyuu

a simple list of things that can be done to improve the outfit system

1: add the "hide" option to all armour pieces [sell it as a style pack if needs be ffs]

2: the ability to dye our hair to any colour we've unlocked

3: fixing the dyes to have their colour/shade/finish be consistant across the different styles of armour

those would be the improvements i'd like to see, what about you?

One and three I agree with. Two is in conflict since the color of our hair is chosen in Character Creation, and would thus make it pointless if we could just change it again in-game.

I've been asking for several Updates now to incorporate Costumes into the Outfit System. Break them all up into body slots and let us mix and match parts of the costumes we want with other Outfit Styles.

Nord_Raseri

Definitely #1. Would love to hide shoulders and chest(Sai's chest piece is garbage and doesn't belong on my nord )

zaria

1) agree
2) agree, now it will probably be limited to hair shades, not all colors
3) should be standardized better but material matter.
Metal armor will be shiny, high quality steel more so than worn iron, rough cloth or rawhide will not be very shiny however silk or polished leather again is shiny.
But yes lots of random stuff in ESO outfits and its often an issue getting stuff to fit together.

Slyclone

That would be my dream come true of they split it all up into sections.

Also if they realized that there are many bugs in outfits right now.

Orc medium belts dont even show up in preview.

Timbercrow third swatch only colors the top's trim and shoes but not the pants trim.

Legion special style set has green shoulder trim that does not match with the color you choose on the top/pants.

Almost seems unfinished.

Costume color swatches that are missing on certain pieces.

I could go on forever.

Certain graphical bugs show up while wearing certain body markings.

I really can't stress it enough that when we pay millions of gold or real money to unlock these, they better be perfect.

Please.

but funny it is we can already jsut change all our hair styles after character creation, we can change our marks like even scars!
and body marks also we can change all fromt hese we had in character creations

the best is by body marks change we can entirely change khajiit, argonians patterns, scales into just another types and yet we cant dye our hairs into other from possible colours even when we can change our hair styles outside character creation ofc

Don't forget that we can also change our skin color at will, or also just forego skin entirely and walk around in our skeletons 😂

when it comes to hair color, what is the arguement against the concept that fantasy characters can create dyes to make their hair whatever color they want ... especially in light of the dyed inks used in various tattoos ... and the multiple dyes used in gear ?

I don't agree with the concept that your race limits your hair color when dyes exist.

IMHO

1: YES! PLEASE!!!!
2: Eh.... not at an outfit station. Put a plastic surgeon and a beauty salon in some cities, for doing hair and appearance changes. Skyrim had this, right?

3: No, i like this the way it is. It makes sense that different materials dye differently.

I think a lot of what we want to do is create outfits that feel casual, by far the biggest ask is hide shoulders. I've adapted to when running around town crafting etc. I'll drop those items from being equipped and if questing I'll up armor to make sure the sets I'm using are in effect. I have outfits for pvp and pve questing And those that are for doing stuff around town or surveys for fashions sake.

Hair I agree as perhaps a new stylist component. Could be a great gold sink.

Dyes across outfits.. I agree it's a pain to cobble together an outfit where you love separate motifs only to find, one doesn't dye dark or light, or the colors don't jive and you have to click a hundred colors to find some similarity in perception. The sadist in me I guess sees it as part of the challenge of making nice outfits. But yeah. It's a PITA and has been the ruin of many styles I would prefer to implement. That said I can really appreciate the ZOS folks that model these things are able to create things that reflect/refract light differently based on the lore of it's construction.

Yep, I bet all those orks with fake lashes and pink wedding dresses would look even better with blue, green or orange hair.

I like your ideas. The outfit system is ripe with the opportunity to do better.

As for hair color changing, and skin shade changing as well, I'd so love to see a spa/hairstyle npc in game that'd allow this. The current makeover token is 1000 crowns iirc. That's silly. I won't use that often, but if it was cheaper - say 100-200 crowns, I would use it quite often. Zeni would end up seeing a bit more $$$ from me by lowering the price from "it isn't worth it" to "eh, it's fairly cheap".
