Suggestion: Small Improvements to Character Creation

I'm one of those people that spends an absurd amount of time creating and tweaking the appearance of my character during creation. There are a couple frustrations I have with the process however, so I thought I'd post them here (there's no suggestion forum?).
1) Add a "Check Name" feature that allows to see if a name is in use. I've been disappointing more than once after spending time crafting a character and concept, only to be met with the "name already used" window. With so many players and characters having been created since the games release, I think this feature would be a benefit to players old and new trying to name characters.
2) Add numerical indicators to the slider bars. Not a big issue, but adding a number would help me remember which particular hairstyle I liked or what body marking I thought looked the best during creation.
3) Increase the number of character deletions. Another issue I have, is often, after creating a character I get them in the game world and simply don't like the way they play and move. Maybe add a perk for ESO+ members to remove the cool down for deletion. Once again, this is a minor inconvenience.
If you have other suggestions about character creation, feel free to post them here! Thanks!

✭✭✭✭✭I think all of your suggestions should have been there at launch, maybe even at beta.
Creating a character is a pain especially on consoles, there you don't even see hair / skin / eye color anymore, it's just sliders. Sometimes you have 40 options and you only have that slider you need to go right or left until you found the right option... it's really tiresome.
Why is there no option to save default looks and just load them when you once created a character you like and want to make another one looking exactly like this? Why do the haircuts and facial jewelry things have names but I don't see them during character creation? I mean I gave my character another haircut in game through the collections tab but disliked it... yeah, have fun finding your old haircut without knowing it's name. It's soooooo uncomfortable and annoying to modify your character because the UI is awful.Edited by Seraphayel on February 11, 2017 1:14PMPS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

Oh, yes! Saving character profiles would be a great addition too!0
