I think if enough people wanted this, Bethesda would do it. In an interview (can't remember where, otherwise I'd include the link) Matt Carofano, the Art Director on Skyrim, even said it wasn't out of the question for DLC. So lets let them know it's something we would like!
I want hair cuts option to change war paint and TO WASH SOME OF THE DAMN DIRT OFF!!! If I want to be a Thane I can't be dirty!!!! EDIT: can you add a poll to see who wants it and who doesn't?
I just added FREE to the poll. It was never a request to have to pay for this. Also, how could the ability to alter the look of your character be useless? It's an RPG, it's completely about your character!
