Why can't we preview locked dyes and armour styles?

Seriously, why? I'd like to know how stuff looks to decide whether to go work on achievements or motiff hunting.
This makes no sense :(

    A very good suggestion on both counts, @Octopuss

    I can guess on locked dyes, you have to get the achievement for the dye.

    On armor styles - that IS a good question. The tiny previews are often misleading, and I really do want to see what it looks like on my character before crafting with an expensive style material. ESO fashion is a good reference, but it can't cover all the body types and possilbe stretch issues.

    It would be really nice to be able to preview locked dyes. That was you could be like "OOOH that's nice" and prioritize your achievements!

    Makes no sense on the dyes either - of course you have to earn the achievements, but what's stopping ZOS to allow us to dye the armour piece without being able to confirm the process or something when the requirement is not met?

    I can't answer that. However I can point out that there are websites like eso.mmo-fashion.com where you can look at all styles, colours, items, etc. Not the perfect solution, but never the less a solution.

    Yes, and it's extremely inconvenient when you want to craft something.
    The whole point is to be able to immediatelly see what stuff looks like ingame when you have crafting station opened - typically how the crafted piece would look like in combination with the rest of the armour you're currently wearing.

    Not being able to preview the armor style etc before crafting it has been frustrating me for years already. It's also lead to me not really bothering to craft stuff for myself even though I want to. Trying to look this stuff up on the web is far from ideal, it's frankly quite misleading. This would be a super addition to have in the game, and honestly, they already got it for their crown store motifs, please let us do the same when crafting.

    You can see all racial / rare styles in the crown store as a preview for medium/heavy/light.

    Agree with OP 100% but I need to google how game mechanics work so I’m not surprised that I need to see how motifs look at the university of google.
