Zeni please consider a race change in the crown store. With the amount of changes you guys are constantly doing entire play styles change and particular build are no longer viable. Atleast give us the option to change race so when we change to a stam or magicka build we can get the correct race.

    Race is far less of a factor than people think it is. While I wouldn't oppose race change, skill means more than race.

    hmmmm i don't like this idea. That's why you are to carefully pick the race for your needs when you start the game. Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices with the original choice you made.

    A lot of people chose their race when soft-caps were still implemented and race mattered diddly-squat.

    Yeah, some people just can't grasp this. They think that a game needs to be some kind of harsh life lesson. A game. Yes, this is your species...and they're reproducing.

    I'm assuming if race changes are coming they're gonna come with the Barbershop feature. No ETA on that yet though.

    Are you kidding? You could change your race or appearance at any time in Skyrim with "showracemenu." Immersion was never ruined and the NPCs didn't know any difference.

    Also people seem to forget that one of the DLC's implemented an NPC in the thieves guild that you could alter your appearance for gold.

    Yep.
    We're working on both along with a full suit of character re-customization options (what people often refer to as the "barber shop") but we do not have an estimated timeframe for their release. They will not be in for Orsinium, but know that we are actively working on this feature.


    That's the official answer for people who want to know. Hopefully it comes with Thieves guild DLC around January.

    Reaaaally sick of my Stam NB being a Breton... :'(

    Buddy, you know we are talking about ESO?

    So please explain where did you find skill as a determinant of success in this game?

    - CP imabalnce (not everyone is actually playing at 501 cap btw)
    - Degraded battle mechanic in Cyrodil
    - Numbers and stats wins you the game
    - Those number and stats are only achievable via grind of sets

    And where do you show you skill?

    Jumped the gun there, didn't you?
    That comment comes when people ask to cherry-pick their racial passives! ;)


    Of course, this IS the umpteenth thread about this matter, and there have been comments from official sources they are thinking about it, they are working on the matter, and in all likelyhood it will come, most likely with or in wake of the "barbershop" character recustomization options. Can't really see ZOS to refuse the extra income this would generate... I just hope it might be pricey enough to discourage FotM chasers from doing it every month... (but who really cares if they do as long as they pay through the nose for it - more content financed for the rest of us all the sooner I say!)

    I agree, skills change would be above race change on my list.
