Should Zenimax add full armor previews when crafting.

    Oh god yes. Those little pictures are just sad. What you get looks nothing like them and with all the mats you spend you should be able to see what you are getting BEFORE you even bother making something. I've made stuff too many times only to be disappointed with how the finished product looks.

    Same with weapons. All this stuff should have a dressing room or something that shows a LARGE, rotating, zoom in type of 3D picture of what you would look like wearing the item so you can really see exactly what it is you are making or buying.
    My concern can be measured in micro-give-a-craps.

    I'd be happy if they just showed something like the items in the skyrim inventory. Some of them clearly exist already as in-world items!

    Although - I've also noticed that some of those valueless weapons you can pick up, don't look the same once you start wielding them. But that's a different issue completely.

    I would like armor previews. :-).

    Given the recent availability of a preview function in the Crown Store, I feel that this poll is now worth revisiting. I don't claim to know precisely how difficult it would be to adapt the Crown Store costume preview code to the crafting stations, but I think it might be worth looking into. A crafting preview would be exceptionally useful.

    On a sidenote, female barbaric having any kind of different look from level 16 to vet would be nice

    its all identical, my vet 1 gear looks identical to what i had back at level 16. identical.

    All of the rare motifs are like that. Barbaric, Ancient Elf, Primal, and Daedric look identical at level 1 and VR14, except for the default coloration. The weapons change, but not the armor.

    To be honest, I'm okay with these having identical appearances regardless of level, since it does give them a nice reliable appearance. If we had more visual customization... an unlock system like DCUO's where we could reconfigure our appearance to whatever we want? Then, yes, absolutely this should be reconsidered... but without that? I'm fine with these being consistent.

    That said, a preview window would be nice.

    id like some sort of accurate way of knowing what pieces look like for sure.. it was brutally tough to tell back in the day but since 2.0.1 the icon on the preview seem very accurate now

    A preview system would be a definite improvement over the current guesswork or tabbing out to ESO fashion.

    It's client side. Wouldn't need to be anything server related.

    Searched through the thread, curious to hear the explanations for the odd "no," votes. Was not surprised to find most, if not all, attributed to "NOT BEFORE THEY NERF, BUFF, GIVE ,CHANGE THIS THING I FEEL IS IMPORTANT!!!" Well done forums, stay true to yourself, never change.

    I agree... I don't know how many times I have to craft multiple items just to see how it looks on my character- then decon the ones I don't like. A BIG waste of materials IMO which could be fixed with a 'preview' feature.

    Being a TES player, it was one of the first issues (yes- issue) I noticed in BETA. I just could not - and more than a year on, still can not, - see what I was working with. Nor were/are there any reliable go-to internet resources; 'eso fashion', for example, not being useful really.

    My advice... Skyrim's Forge menu. Nuff said. Best of luck, Zenimax. Your Imperial City is out now.. time to fix the game.
    Hindsight connects us to the past, the now and what is yet to be. It is a circle that belongs in all time and grants us the opportunity to learn always. It is acceptable to keep one eye on the past, as long as the other eye is focussed on the future.
  • Khoraak_StormCat

    yes but not just for crafting...anytime armor or weapons are being viewed. Shop, crafting, inventory, guild store, etc.

    Indeed very insightful to think outside of crafting. I would mention in this directive charge, that perhaps if it costs performance hits, then maybe better thumbnails could be used for those other aspects, keeping the potentially performance draining forge previews... in the forge.

    If it is fine, then yeah great idea. a more luxurious game is definitely a more attractive one :)
