The new character creation screen is bad. Really bad.

Title says it all.
I don't know why but do you always need to give us such dark rooms for character presentation when we create them? The lighting is horrible and it's so dark. The Morrowind screen was already bad but now... wow.
My grey looking Dark Elf has a green shade in the game. Black hair is actually brown or a dark red. The same goes with fur colour.
Why is it like that? Can't you just give us a nice background without odd sources of lighting or reflections, with natural light and some kind of open space?

✭✭They should give us the ability to change the lights in the creation screen to let us see our characters in different lighting.PC/EU DC4 -

✭✭✭✭✭There's nothing like painstakingly making your character, doing the tutorial, then seeing your character in full sunlight for first time and going "Oh. So that's what you look like.

Hoolielulu✭✭✭✭✭Anyone remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry's girlfriend looked either gorgeous or hideous depending on the lighting? Yeah, I have a character like that. She wears her helmet a lot.3 -
MrSensible✭✭✭I think some people might see this and say "Geeze, what a waste of development time". But it really is a good point and has been an issue since launch. This game has one of the best character creator's I've seen in an MMO, but they choose terrible lighting for it. It has never really bothered me, because I don't care too much about getting my character's hair color *juuust right*, but I know people who have restarted the same character 3 or 4 times because there were problems with it and no reasonable way to fix it.
IMO, I think the best solution would be to make it so you could re-edit your character early on in the game (<2 hours play time?). You know, that thing Elder Scrolls games have been allowing you to do since Oblivion?1 -
DamenAJ✭✭✭✭I actually use the PTS to make most of my characters before I make 'em on the real servers, to see how they look.0
