I would love to be able to change my avatar picture for one of my character`s.
It would feel a lot more personal, and like that we also get to see and associate each persons name to a character or a (non offensive) image they like.
I havent been on the forums for too long but I think I heard they removed avatars because people started using obscene pictures and I was thinking that maybe we could work something out!
For example:
*Picture can only be changed once a week/month.
*Picture will only appear on your profile if it has been approved by a mod.
It is most likely that this will never happen but lets still try xD.

Caeric✭✭✭YAY for pictures!I would like to be able to choose one of my own characters for my avatar, and for the details of that picture to change as my character changes. A few simple choices, such as showing headgear or not, and showing at least part of the current armor set where it would be visible in a 'head shot'.PC NA

Yes, so have I. The best guess is that they kept their avatar from beta but I was here during beta and mine disappeared when the game went live so I don't know. Maybe they were very early beta.Scura di Notte - Altmer Nightblade (gear)

Dagonthir✭✭✭YAY for pictures!I couldn't certainly see there being a problem with pictures in general, but if they could limit the picture to your actual characters through the software then it could work. They wouldn't even have to approve it.3 -

It was just an idea of something that "might" give us our unlimited choice back when it comes to pictures =DThen make it a task for the Community people. Whatever their titles are.

✭YAY for pictures!We could upload our own pictures during beta, that was kinda cool. So yeah, I still would like to be able to use an own one
The odd thing is that there are still a handful of people here (during the 2 years after beta, and last time I saw it just a few weeks ago) which have an own picture as a profile picture, not sure how this got "stuck" in there. They're lucky^^

I couldnt agree more... thankfully there is this avatar now that I really like, but no real female avatar that matches my characters or RP style in the slightest.
