before you format try loading sweetfx on your machine . I'm not sure if we are allowed to link to modding sites and im quite new , liking the game and do not want to get a ban haha. But there are some easy manuals for it and should modify your textures. makes a huge difference in colors.

Update video card drivers and/or try using TRUE full screen mode (not windowed mode or windowed fullscreen)

something similar just happened to one of my toons too. so not cool!!! in fact i just played for less than a half hour, encountered three awful bugs, couldn't deal, and logged out. I swear to the Divines this game ran better in beta!!

This is not caused by SweetFX, your textures, graphics card etc. Repairing wont help because that is not the issue. This was a bug in the past the was "fixed" in a prior patch but appears to have come up again in the latest updates.

Here is a link to an old thread about it: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/1303983/#Comment_1303983

In which I state:

Repentance is a morph of Restoring Aura, an ability in the Templar's Restoring Light skill line. It "consumes the essence of corpses" to restore health and stamina from defeated enemies within it's range when activated. This burnt effect is then applied to the corpses to show that they can no longer be consumed again. When the effect is applied to players, the effect does not always get removed when you resurrect.

And from this thread the supposed fix: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/139784/patch-notes-v1-5-4

which states:

Templar
Restoring Light
Repentance (Restoring Aura morph): Fixed an issue if you were affected by this ability, you would still have dark textures appear on your face and body.

Do an in game /bug and include a screenshot so that ZOS is aware this is happening again.

As for a work around, many have said if you do an in game action to force retexturing it may fix it, but it does not work every time. Actions such as an emote, putting on a disguise, or logging out. Even quitting the game and restarting will once in a while not fix the issue.

yeah just one issue...im not a templar and ive tried all of those methods lol guess ill just have to submit a bug thingy

This happens when a Templar uses this ability on you, doesn't matter what you are.

I reread your post, I missed this the first time; You said all of the characters around you look like this too, is this all of the time? If that's the case I would submit a ticket on the Support page.
