Appearance Collectibles Overhaul

Mosaskeggr

I was wondering since the sections for Upgrades and Mounts in the Collections tab have seen minor overhauls.
Wouldn't it be great to finally get a much needed overhaul for the Appearance section?

Head Markings and Facial Hair are in dire need of a rework for all us role-players & fashionistas.
- Face Painting, Make Up, Custom Eyes, Beards, Bones/Antlers and more.
They all require their own section to be utilised separately.

The same applies to Body Markings and Skins.
- Body Painting, Body Scarring, and possibly a section for miscellaneous Body Effects, e.g. [Lambent Guar Body Markings] and [The Black Drake's Body Warpaint] which affect nails and claws (a personal favourite feature of mine).

Skins come with their own minor & major problems:
- [Ardor's Devotion], [Harvestleaf Lacquer], [Blackmarrow Necromancer] and more, which shouldn't be Skins in the first place.
- [Bright-Throat Scale], [Brineglow], [Scourger's Scales] and more, which are semi-transparent to underlying Body Markings.
- ^Similarly some Head Markings with Custom Eyes override Skins, which is nice, but others do not.

Which brings me to one of my biggest gripes in the customisation game.
Body Markings are not layered over Skins, which they should be.
There are examples in the game of this being the case though, e.g. with the NPCs of the Bright-Throat and Dead-Water tribes, their Body Markings appear over their Skins.
So with this being the case, why can't we have the same customisation available to us?

The same applies to Players with Vampirism, which appears to be a Skin with varying degrees of transparency. Body Markings are washed out to the point where they are no longer recognisable.
Similarly but not necessarily the same, NPC Orsimer sometimes appear to have a vibrant green skin tone, which is another thing Players are unable to achieve in the character creation.

The amount of minor to major issues with the Appearance tab are really infuriating, and I can't be the only one who feels this way.

yes it would be awesome. and I've occasionally requested this too over the last few years.


ideally there'd be so many extra.
I'll just list all the extra categories i imagine could make sense.

Head markings, Hairstyles, and Facial Hair divided into:
- Head tattoos.
- Head scars.
- eye colours
- Lipstick.
- Other face makeup.
- Face Spikes, for Argonians.
- Head Spikes and Horns, for Argonians and Bosmer.
- Ears? for Argonians. i couldn't think what else Webbed Ears and Roostertail Frills would fit in.
- Horns originally in Hairstyles, for Argonians.
- Feathers, for Argonians.
- actual Hairstyles made out of hair.
- Facial hair.

Body Markings and Skins divided into:
- Body Tattoos.
- Body Scars.
- Body Paint.
- Fur Patterns, for Khajiit.
- Scale Patterns, for Argonians.
- Skins, that replace the entire skin.
- Glowy/magical markings?
- Partial skins? like Scales of Akatosh, Meridian Purified, and Borealis Wolf Pelt.

Major and Minor Adornments divided into:
- Eyewear and Masks.
- Crowns and headbands, some like the Deadly Jester's Headband probably wouldn't overlap with any of the others.
- Hairpins, generally the little things on the side of your head like the Crimson Begonia and Knower's Eye Hairpin.
- Earrings from Minor.
- Face Piercings, mostly from Minor.
- Body adornments, currently would only be Adventure-Ending Arrow.

And separate beards, moustaches, and sideburns.

The overhaul for that stuff that I’d like to see is an actual in game barber. We shouldn’t have to pay real money for every single adornment and hair style. I feel like everything is already overly-monetized. Would be a nice touch!
