    Yeah .. I agree. My sorcerer has a red smudge just above his belly button and well .. no one can actually see it, but I know it's there and it bugs the hell out of me! I just need some virtualised salicylic acid please.

    Seriously though, it'd be great to be able to make some cosmetic changes when the inspiration moves us. A hairstylist/barbershop would be a good option as well!

    What I stlll *really* want is the ability to buy a DLC mission to change factions ... but that's the grist for another thread ;).

    I think this would be an awesome thing for the crown store. ZOS could make some good money, because I know I'm not the only one that wants it. I really want to slim down my main characters jaw.
    Also the fact that we can only delete 3 characters at a time. It really makes it hard to remake characters after you get in the game and find something wrong with them.
    If I'm going to spend hundreds of hours playing a character I want to enjoy everything about their appearance.
    PLS ZOS GIVE US A CHANGE CHARACTER APPEARANCE OPTION.
    Not just hair, a full change. Height, Skin tone, Arm size, Chest size, everything you can do in Character Creation.
    Except Race, Class, Alliance.

    Skyrim had this feature in the very first dlc, so Zenimax does have the means to do it.

    Also, other mmos have the ability for a full change as well, so the arguement that skyrim was a single player game is void.

    Final fantasy xiv had a potion that you could change even your race and sex.

    It is being worked on... that's all we know.

    It has been in consideration for a loong time, and like everything else, was put on hold while they were working on the console release. And now that that's done, they keep doing the backlog... like the also long announced imperial city, come out just now. And the long announced Orsinium, coming... well, likely somewhen around christmas by all guesses. And Thieves Guild & Dark Brotherhood... likely to appear somewhen around the end of Q1, 2016.
    And actually that one would be a good place to have recustomization appear...

    I just hope they will do it well.
    Not merely a "re-enter chargen" item sold in the crown store, but...
    ...ach, I am dreaming of a "barbershop" for "everyday changes" (stuff like hairstyle, makeup, adormnents, etc.) in every major city, paid for with gold,
    ...and thensome "plastic sorcery provider" for "structural changes" (like body shape, voice, eye & skin color, possibly race as well) hidden in coldharbour for example (or possibly some secret outlaw refugee, but I think coldharbour would be better), and paid for with crowns, hopefully not a flat cost to enter, but a small culmulative cost for every change made, every slider moved, to be paid when satisfied and clicking the "make it so" button (to prevent people who buy a recustomization and then realize they forgot one detail from being vexed - this way, they can just re-enter and fix the small detail for the small detail cost... also, makes it easier for many people who are "just thinking" about it to go for it when its a small cost per change instead of a huge one no matter how small a detail you want to alter... and in the end, usually "small, easily affordable" things end up to a greater total then "big price purchase" stuff...)
    ...and then...
    ...they can sell more options in the crown store! More hairstyles! More tatoos. More whatever... Possibly unlocking "non-racial" color options for hair and skin, to allow people to play as "mixed blood"? Perhaps even "structural" options, like an feature that allows nords to exceed the current maximum height as "titanborn", or allow people other character alterations not currently supported by the sliders... (Bodybuilder orc berzerker? Fat breton friar? Big breasted altmer priestess of mara? Heck, if they added a slider for male crotch bulges, they could make a lot of crowns from selling ever larger embiggerment options... all right, maaaybe not that one :tongue:;) )

    And of course, I also hope for a "recordkeeper" NPC in your capital city, who upon filing the "correct paperwork" will "update the official records" with a new character name... (correct paperwork to be bought in the crown store... ;) )

    Mentioned class and alliance changes... are much bigger cans of worms, and thus should be considered seperately.

    There's at least one of these threads a week, and every time people voice how much they want it, and that they are willing to pay for it. How ZOS still haven't implemented it is beyond me. My money is on bad planning and warped priorities. Of course it's great with new content (like IC), but adding a barbershop (through Crown Store) would be so much more profitable in the long run, and keep players interested. The DLC is a one time pruchase, but people would pay again and again to change their appearance. Because there is so much focus on profit lately, I doubt the barbershop will be added like the dye station (even if you have to pay gold), unless they make it so expensive (gold-wise) that you feel better off buying through Crown Store.

    I'm unhappy with several of my characters' appearance, so ZOS you would be making quite a bit of money from me alone! :tongue:

    My hope is that it comes with the next big update, but I fear it won't be coming until some time around "Orsinium" - as they do love bundling things.

    And we should be able to change hair every week, if not every day, for free or small amount of gold.

    Adding it to the crown store or making it a new shrine would be easy. Actually making a real barber shop could be a pretty costly thing to do, because you'd have to add new buildings, new npcs with dialogue, etc. to every city. That's something they dodged with the dye stations because they just put them in shops that already existed. Something tells me that they want to have a proper barber shop to make it more "engaging" or something along those lines

    It won't happen...

    Yes they keep telling us they are working on it, at least since the start of TU back in march and they keep repeating it over and over again but still no ETA, still not a single hint about what they are really doing there and why it is taking so long to use the existing character creation interface to restyle our characters using a scroll/token system in the crowns store.

    It is rather odd that this isn't in here.
    The people though that should demand it are the new players because they have the potential to spend which gets the shareholder's attention!

    OH MY GOSH, THIS IS GETTING CRAZY.

    Could a staff member at least say "We are working on it" THAT IS ALL I NEED TO HEAR.

    Either they say that or admit that they flat out lied to us.

    Well, they did mention in their year ahead that...
    DLC and Update Plan
    ...
    Longer term, expect to see information about systems like a character customization shop so you can change your character's gender, appearance, name, etc.,
    Of course, we all don't want it "longer term" we want it yesterday! Or at least with the "criminal" DLCs like TG and DB... but alas... all we can do is hope they might change their minds, put in some extra work and let us spend crowns on this a bit sooner.

    Now that we got theives guild, the mid game character customization should be next on the list.
