But you did spend that time in Character Creation KNOWING you were going to CHOOSE to "hide it" with Vampirism?
Joined up thinking really isn't all that strong with the entitled snowflake generation, is it?

Had no idea what I was getting myself into back during beta. Did you?
Nope, but I've still never once whined about the outcome of a choice I made - in a game!
Oh, and a game that already has given you numerous options for you to avoid the thing you want to avoid.
All The Best
Putting on another skin or quest disguise is simply avoiding the issue.
I just don't get why it matters to anyone else if I hide my vamp skin.

Oh wait, they sell that stuff for crowns. Hmmm, they could do this with a vampire augmentation package too?

That doesn't matter to me at all.
What matters is you are asking ZOS to task resources to an issue that they have already given you at least 3 solutions to.
It's like complaining you have to walk 5 miles to work.
Someone says "you've got a car", you reply "I don't like driving".
They say "use the bus/tube/train", you reply "I don't like public transport".
They say "use a taxi", you reply "no, not fair, work should come to me!".

Look at how many people use vampirism only for the passives. A hide vampirism option is needed
Mate, you think most folk become a vampire because of the looks?
Of course not! There need to be drawbacks to being a vampire, only having positives removes any reason to even consider not becoming a vampire.
If you want to look good, then don't become a vampire, simple as that. Been that way ever since vampirism was introduced for TES players.
Be glad you're not playing Morrowind as a vampire.
We've heard this line before, and the response is the same. There are mechanical drawbacks that nobody desputes are fairly good drawbacks. Flame is one of the most common damage types in the entire game, two classes have access to it, all classes if you include flame staff, and it's in most of the content.
That should be the drawback, not arbitary looks that were introduced when ESO's vampirism is functionally similar.
Lore should also not make way for gameplay purposes.
If you don't care for the franchise or its lore, then maybe ESO's not the game for you.
You want to hide vampirism? Then wear a disguise. How long until you guys are going to complain about looking like a werewolf when you're in werewolf form?
As a lifelong elder scrolls fan, let me point out the multiple ways in which you are wrong with examples!
1. Verandis Ravenwatch, this era. Presumibly the same bloodline, allthough we dont know that, able to hide his appearence through feeding.
2. Ordo Vampyrum, Oblivion, 3rd era. Pact with Clavicus Vile, allowed them to hide in plain sight through feeding. While made specificallly for this purpose, the third example proves this is not a trait exclusive to this bloodline.
3. Clan Volkihar. 4th era. Shown to be unrecognizeable until near-starving or starved. Signs occur, not clear enough for the populace to take action.
Morrowind and Daggerfall (presumibly, I didn't actually play daggerfall as I dont want to fiddle with Dos) are the only two exceptions in the series where vampirism is unhidable and causes the population to become hostile. Verandis Ravenwatch is the clearest example this is hidable in this era which suggests the ability goes back even further.
It is possible for vampires to blend, and the ammount of paleness usually is based on bloodline, and all factors therein, including race and complexion in life, and the general air of unease is generally thought of as paranoia until further symptoms manifest themselves. This is not a Ordo Vampyrum only trait and other bloodlines which are generally less social have abilities and behavior that suits that.
Reguardless of whether or not you want to make the case that the vampirism strain shown in game is able to blend for the sake of lore or gameplay mechanics the fact remains vampirism in many different strains has a long history of infiltraiton.
So, kindly dont tell me what game is and isn't for me when I've extensively studied this. This isn't lore bowing to gameplay. This is quite the opposite. I've been playing since Oblivion, went back to play Morrowind. Dont patronize me.
Also, nobody wants to hide werewolf form. Stop being hypoerbolic.
1. Through feeding you say? I'd like some citations for that... Even if it were true, it's quite clear he'd be an exception, not the rule.
2. A pact with Vile, proper reasoning, not a toggle, see me hating on this? I don't. I'd also rather see a citation for this claim, from the countless hours I've put in Oblivion I don't recall any vampire not looking vampiric. The only time when they don't is in the early stages, when the vampirism starts to take over the body and one has to sleep to truly become a child of the night.
3. Like some citations on that one, Volkhihar Vampires are rather easy to identify, be it by guards, the Dawnguard, or Vigilants of Stendarr.
You've been playing since Oblivion, and picked up Morrowind, ESO, and presumably Skyrim? Great. Then you should, better than the people who have only played ESO, know better than that being able to ''hide'' vampirism is not something the common vampire can do.
And yeah, I know nobody wants to hide werewolf form, I'm pointing it out because togglers like to have the benefits with as few drawbacks as possible.

But you can look like like a normal human/elf. Just cure the vampirism- and you get your wish.
That answer seemed so obvious, I thought that maybe I was missing something here. Thats why I asked, just to clarify.
Repeat, why (in vampire state, just to clarifiy) can I look like LITERALLY anything but normal?

It's a glitch, and could be considered so if ZOS really wants to press the issue.
Is there any evidence at all - as in an Official ZoS post - that indicates using a costume or skin that overrides the Vamp look is an exploit?
Not that I've seen, and I read these Forums every day.

I'm going to leave it here as it is clear there's no real discussion or communication at all with you, and say the following:
1. We got the outfit system because people wanted customization. Hide vampirism is even older, and comes from the same vein. There is lore basis, evidence in gameplay to suggest it is possible, and so on.
2. I am willing to support this game by buying it as a paid feature.
3. Even if you disagree with making it a toggle, you have to acknowledge there is nothing stopping you from living up to your own principles. You can choose not to use it.

dark spawn your kindve outta your mind here as the necromancer skin litterally was made by zos to hide the vamp skin. and even alcast posted about the thing months ago so clearly its not a offense >_>
Didn't know. I dont care about skins aquired from dungeon's, because I will never get them, because I refuse to put myself through hell for one skin.

1. Verandis shows virtually no physical signs of affliction when he shows up the first time, but does when you show up to his castle. Given you see someone feeding on a willing servant it's heavily implied he hides it through feeding, though it's possible through illusion magic. Eitherway, it's present. Irrefutibly present, and if it's even remotely replicateable, a toggle is possible.
2. Oblivion vampires have varying degree's of facial structure change and premature aging based on stage. At stage four their jaw takes on a batlike shape. Go ahed and replay if you dont believe me. This is staved off by feeding.
3. While the only real support I have is game mechanics it is worth noting that the same occurance happens with the Vokihar bloodline, with the changes to physical appearence, more batlike jaw structure and intensity in the glowing eyes, grows more pronounced with more degree's of starvation. How the dawnguard identify vampires I've no idea but it -is- worth noting that specific quests for the Dawnguard revolve around weeding out these vampires in -spite- of the law, not with it's support. You need to directly convince a Jarl of one's existance in his court by pickpocketing a note off said vampire. That wouldn't be needed if they were slavering monsters, would it?
I played the same games you did, but it seems you have a very selective memory.

What's the clue behind not allowing vampire to wear an alternative crown skin?
What's the point to tell Zeni how they have to make money? If they decide that such a package might sell well, how would you prevent that and why?
