What do you want to see in TES: Skyrim for the character customization or creation, that you maybe didn't get in the previous game, Oblivion?!

Me for starters thought there was too many sliders in the character creation because in my opinion they did.very little.. I felt it was a struggle to make your character look "pretty".

And even my girlfriend thought so, she did not like any of the female races. She thought some of them didn't look like female at all, both face and body.

I hope I won't have to wait and relay on the modding community because they can't give female characters any feminine look, both face and body / animations.

I want to modify my muscles and length of limbs and appendages, such as fingers.

They've seriously improved the character creation. There are no more complicated sliders, instead a multitude of adjustable preset eyes, noses, skin tones, etc.

I hope you have the option to alter your character's body, not just their face. I hated how everyone basically had the same body below the neck. I want to be able to make my character burly or tall or skinny or toned, etc. I hope that those options aren't too flexible, though, because Bosmer should always be shorter than everyone else, Altmer should always be taller and thinner than everyone else, Nords should be a bit bulkier than other races, etc.

Skyrim is going to have the most extensive character customization ever seen in an Elder Scrolls game.



I want to adjust the length of my character's nose hairs.

thats probly a little too much to hope for

i agree, the adjustments you make to your character's body could fall within ranges set by what race you chose.


i think it'd be nice to see more fine-grained additions to a character in the form of accessories or something. tattoos, scars, piercings, etc

What if a bosmer mated with a high elf. I'd imagine the produced bosmer would be taller than your averge.

you've seen the orc screenshot right? i spy a tattoo

As I recall, tattoos, facepaint and scars were confirmed long time ago...


I've heard about body types being customizable, but I don't recall where...

Check this out.

First thing I imagined when I read that was a character with legs that are 1 ft long and arms that are 4 ft long... Being able to mess with the proportions that much would be soooo much fun lol...

I want the hair on my head to be a different color than my pubic hair.

holy crap, i've never seen this video. thanks for the link!

Yes, only this Bosmer wouldn't be a pure Bosmer, it'd be a hybrid, and unfortunately I don't think we're going to see hybrid characters in any ES games.

I've always wondered what a biracial ES character would look like. Imagine a person with one Khajiit parent and one Argonian parent. That kid would look weird.

See: Catfish

Scars and tattoos are the new things I want.

RIGHT.

Please give us some decent hair styles for females, especially some good LONG hair options.

If anyone has played Aion, perhaps a similar system to that.

I always found it stupid that if you were a Male Orc, you were the EXACT same size as every other bloody Male Orc in the realm, despite being the only one that dungeon crawls and fights hordes of enemies compared to the smart ass upper-class kin that roamed the streets of the Capital spouting about how the emperor had been murdered, even though this was news from at least 4 in-game months ago!!

Bodily customization, such as making your character a bit fatter (if you want) should also play part in how you perform in combat

Perhaps as you level up physical abilities such as Weaponry talents and heavy armour, your character should gain muscle mass.

Likewise, a Caster is less likely to beef up, but more likely to have a somewhat "enthralling presence" about them.

Beards, because nothing says "I SLAY DRAGONS [censored]" like a manly beard!

More customizable Hairstyles, perhaps instead of having 8? to chose from, there should be the ability to edit the Fringe, Sides, Body and Back of your characters hair style. This creates much MUCH more options to customize with and would perhaps make me chose a style other then Rogue Knot or Loose!!

If it isn't already in the game, perhaps a Barber tattoo artist (I know, a little too similar to Fable) and even special crafters that can use Pelts and Loot to customize and create special armour and weapons tailored to your character !!


I really hope some of these features are taken into consideration by the team, and can't wait till 11/11/11 !

Pretty sure that in the Elder Scroll universe a union of two races does not result in a true hybrid, with the race of the child is determined by the mother, with maybe very minor characteristics from the father. Plus I'm pretty sure that the beast races can't mate with other species.

I think the best character creation is one with "pretty" presets and just enough customization option to make the character your own while still remaining somewhat human looking and not the demonic looking clay dolls Oblivion character's were. Obviously with as much aesthetics as possible.

I'm hoping for some really nice facial hair options. I'm also hoping the available options are restricted by race (i.e. Altmer don't get facial hair, Redguards get very little, ect.)
I'm hoping for a curled up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Robinwilliams_aladdin.JPG looking beard to use on my Dunmer, just like they had in Morrowind.
I'd like for my Breton to have a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anthonyvandyckselfportrait.jpeg beard with curled mustache (like the three Musketeers, since Bretons are french influenced)
My Nord should be able to look like http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.newskorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Jeremiah-Johnson.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.newskorner.com/jeremiah-johnson/3212768/&h=350&w=294&sz=64&tbnid=nOnkloNasUlLbM:&tbnh=120&tbnw=101&prev=/search%3Fq%3Djeremiah%2Bjohnson%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=jeremiah+johnson&usg=__RMaP82p5YdqpqRsYVgmSK5KU10A=&sa=X&ei=EyDbTbXkPIyctwem8L2zDw&ved=0CFEQ9QEwAw.

Lots of beards for the human races. They had a boatload in Fallout 3 so I'm hopeful.

Oh, really? I never knew that.

To the second comment, I know, I was just making some funny mental images with the beast-race breeding idea.

Naturally.

Anywho, I want realistic looking hair and beards. Heck, I just want beards period.
