You have my support citizen.

You can change the colors of armor in Two Worlds 2 and it's a nice feature. Hopefully we can in Skyrim. I think Beth is going to really open up the customization.

I think this could be a good feature. Perhaps you could take your armor/clothes to a merchant and pay a small fee to have them change the colors... Assassin's Creed has a similar feature where you can go to a tailor and change the color's of the main character's outfit like this.

Exactly. This way you can't use a blue dye on a leather cuirass, you would have to pick a different realistic color for your armor, so you could make a darker or lighter shade of that armor, or for some clothing it would be possible to pick the color.

Wait did you seriously just say "realistic color"? As opposed to what, the myriad of unrealistic colors that exist? Every color, by virtue of existing, is realistic. I can't believe I just read that sentence.

And furthermore, who are you or anyone else for that matter, to regulate what color someone wants to dye their armor or clothing?

People should be able to dye their leather armor pink if that tickles their fancy.

I would have loved to have been around back in the day in Scotland or England or something and walk into a leather shop and start telling the leather workers that they weren't allowed to use blue dye because blue isn't a realistic color.

You guys should stop with the "hurrr you can't dye armor cuz its not realistic hurrr"

This game has magic in it.

I really hope you can't dye metal armor or your weapons.

I think it would be massively stupid.

This mindset is infuriating.

"I hope you can't dye metal armor because I think it's stupid and I want every to play teh game jus lyke meeeeee!!!!"

Who cares what anyone else thinks is stupid? If I want to run around Skyrim slaying dragons with an orange warhammer then I should have that option. If you think that's stupid, then don't color your warhammer orange, but don't come here posting about how "I hope that's not in because it's dumb."

Not everyone plays fantasy games like a Medievel Sim City supernerd.

Um... does dyeing work on metal?

Um...can people shoot lightning bolts out of their hands?

Um... is dyeing metal considered a magical practice now?

The magic exists argument is stupid. Magic exists in Elder Scrolls, therefore everyone should be able to create infinite amounts of gold from nothing and dual wield claymores and halberds and rip the earth in half with their bare hands.

I think they said there will be custom armor decals to choose from, but idk about colors, would be cool though.

So much win. I like you. Smart. Arrogant. Logical. :foodndrink: Watch out for those unrealistic colors in videogames, kids. :rofl:

OT: Yes to customization. Bethesda, do it right.

Everybody will be happy. Use the options they give you, and don't complain because you don't want them to exist. The color/dye/paint customization makes sense in TES, so why argue?

Edit: @Dragonbone - Yes, metal can be tinted. Not dyed, per se. This includes weapons such as swords. Japanese katanas, for instance. As for dyeing/tinting in TES, why not apply magic to it? You can enchant a weapon with the ability to explode with fire/frost/shock power on impact....so why not zap it with a little color?
