New Feature With Morrowind: Ability Reskinning

SirMewser · March 2017

With the collectors edition of Morrowind comes a new feature that allows ability reskinning, allowing the Warden's brown bear be turned into a grey one.
In the recent ESO live that started today, March 31st at 3:00pm EDT, the interface to apply said skin was shown in the collections menu (respectively).
This suggest that other ability reskins could (probably will) be added to the game, what does the community think of this system and what would you like to see be added?

I personally would like to reskin my volatile familiar to a stonefire scamp, I don't know if particle effects will be changed for any abilities as this could be confusing to other players in pvp in terms of what they are up against, but personally am okay if that becomes the extent of this new system.

Yes that would be cool. I would like for Templars yellow animations to be a darker black color for evil Templars

ability skins are incredible and would be a perfect addition for the cash shop.

I don't know if this will effects on performance bc the system has to check more variables but I'd like to reskin some of the sorcerer buffs. All this blue/ purple stuff swirling around me makes me dizzy. Maybe change them to white or to something more obvious, e.g. the crystal frag proc visual to ... dunno, somethings else.

I'd love to reskin the nightblade's red daggers to normal looking daggers, preferably even the ones I use. It would be a dream come true...

Reskinning my Clannfear would be nice.

Nightblade reskins:
Necromancer - alters all of the "red" nightblade effects to a soulful blue-purple like necromancer npcs use.
Skeletons - alters the shades abilities to summon skeletons instead of shadowy figures.

Dragonknight reskins:
Fel fire - alters all fire abilities to a green colored fire, more suitable for stamina dks.
Vampire lord - alters the dragon leap and reflective scales abilities to have more bat/gargoyle-like wings instead of dragon wings.

Templar reskins:
Dark templar - all yellow ability effects are recolored a mix of black / purple to resemble daedric Magic instead of Aedric.

Sorceror reskins:
Scamp -> stonefire scamp
Clannfear -> daedroth
Storm atronach -> daedric dragon thing (forgot the name)
Twilights -> dremora seducer

Warden reskins
Bear -> grey war bear
Bear -> senche-raht
Bear -> dire wolf
Bear -> wamasu?
Cliff racer -> crow/eagle
Netch -> thunderbug / shalk

I think it's nothing more than consideration for pets only.

I wouldn't attempt to draw any ideas that non pet cosmetic changes are up for consideration.

It would be more likely that spell crafting would come offer such vs a skill re-skin idea

Pets yes I think Morrowid is the test for tech.

Abilities, no they were also very specific each class was given a specific color key doubt very seriously they are going to much the game messaging of skills.

Seeing this brought this thread back to my mind.

Lol guess I don't get it what's the problem again?

I want a new skin for my jab. Actually, since I see so much jabbing going on, I want like 10 new skins, so everyone doesn't look the same in a new color. Seriously though, new class skill skins would be awesome.

I just want my scamp to look like a normal, light-brown colored scamp. A higher resolution winged twilight would be neat, too.

i also think its only gonna be pets for recognition reasons.... but it would be cool if you could have other pets, no only color wise but the pet itself....

SydneyGrey · April 2017

Some recolors for the clannfears, twilights and scamps would be nice. I like lavender, but it gets boring having them all the same. They don't have to be bright, obnoxious colors. They can be muted colors.

Not sure why they didn't give the bear more than one recolor. They could have done a couple more recolors to include with Morrowind. They should have at least included a black reskin as well.

getemshauna · April 2017

I want to shoot Chaos Bolt instead of spectral bow as Magblade...

Kay1 · April 2017

I want my Dyz Blow to throw confetti.
My Dark Deal to be a dance
My crystal frag to be a chicken and my meteor to be Chuck Norris

Hopefully one day they will take my money again but this game doesn't have any Weapons/Spells skins and the costumes since Dark Brotherhood are disgusting so I suggest them to fire their style dev because the last time I saw someone with a costume that is not from a year ago it was one year ago.

EvilCroc · April 2017

I would really like ability color scheme changes in Crown Store.
Yellow lightning for sorcs, blue flames for DK's, etc.
Just disable them for PvP to prevent common whining.

I'd like to see them give us the option to change the way our armor looked too. Tired of Dropped sets in styles that I don't like and all of my Motif Collection sitting there gathering dust. Still waiting to hear ANY mention about that one though... So I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet.
