    Yes!

    2. Ability to Add Footnotes or Custom Alias text to the bottom of each Character - Just one or two lines of notation space to identify character purpose (For Example "Prov Mats Storage", "Master Crafter" or even "PvP Chillrend")

    Please!

    And also, I've always thought (from day 1) that the background for each character should change depending on where they are in the world. For example, the background for EP is snowy, even when they are in the tropical/warm/swampy areas like Shadowfen - or when they reach the deserts of Alik'r... or Coldharbour, for that matter.

    Would also be amazing :smiley:

    I even contacted a support about this a year ago lol. Asking wether they could move a specific character currently placed on 4th slot onto my 1st as it is my current main and I would pretty much like it to be at the top.

    No luck.

    I realize that this thread is from like a year and a half ago, but it's still an amazing idea that I'd love to see.

    However, given the lack of attention paid by ZOS to basic QoL features like this, I highly doubt this will ever happen.

    If we can resurrect this thread without lock.....I'd like it to be an option but actually, I'd rather they change it so tht the last character I logged out of, appears at the top. This way it just auto adjusts based on how we personally choose to utilize our account and will not require some new interaction to try and manage order outside of just playing the game.

    Dear god no. That would annoy the crap out of me, actually.

    The last character you played is already the one currently selected. That's good enough.

    So you want to re-order as in, ZOS adding a button item to click to reorder instead?

    Basically yes. I have 4 main characters and 4 mules. Due to the order I created them in (with deletions and remakes, etc.) They are all jumbled up. I'd love to be able to put my two main DC characters on top, followed by the EP main, then the AD main, then my 4 mules (in a specific order). And then I'd want them to stay that way.

    This is mostly for convenience and of course should take no precedent over actual game fixes and such.

    I, like many others, just like to sort my characters in order of beastly-ness and/or sexy-ness.

    Just delete them and create them in the order you want and enjoy leveling them again.

    But its not that this game works where you can delete a character and then recover them so for those of who have or want to keep the progress of each, this isn't a viable option or solution.

    ^That one^
    Background in race specific, with a faction-specific banner, that is something I would really like. Dunmer with Morrowind. Argonians with Black Marsh. And Skyrim only for Nords. Each with the red pact banner, but each with their own region. Same for the other races - Redguards can have the Alik'r, bretond get some nice high rock castle, orcs some wrothgar view, tied together with a blue covenant banner... or Altmer keep the auridion woodlands whereas bosmer get deep valenwood and khajiit elsweyr, all with yellow dominion banner... and imperials could then have the imperial city, with the banner changing depending on choosen alliance...

    Of course, what I want most for my character selection screen... is more character slots! ;)

    Hello ... again :))

    It started in 2014 ... you added more slots for more chars in Morrowind. I actually bought more slots ... and now they do not fit well on my screen. I would love to be able to at least sort my chars.

    Why ? I have some master crafters to do the daily writs and also a new warden main that I would love to see first not last.

    Please take some time and upgrade a little your old interface.

    Thanks !
