Fair point. Most of the skill and class information came from the events over the summer, so the knowledge that's out there is a bit behind the eight ball to say the least.

Are you able to purchase eye-lash extensions after creating your character? I would assume so, otherwise the ability to style with mascara during character creation would be rather silly. Also, did the developers put in sufficient differentiation between eye shadow and eye liner? This is a deal breaker for me since I lose all immersion and devs seem to get it wrong in every MMO. pls respond.

I may have ruined my underwear after seeing that banner. Good job to whoever made it. Good to see some adult-oriented options available as well.

I personally haven't been involved in any beta events, so the following negative reactions scare me. From what I've seen in videos (official and third-party), it doesn't seem as bad as the above indicates. But, again, I've never actually played the pre-release product so I can't exactly refute this guy's complaints. Someone talk me down from the ledge.

I also know everything about what everyone else doesn't know. Also, it would be great if the skills could be verified. Not that anyone needs to comb through all of the descriptions, but a general / quick fact-check could be helpful. Being able to add in those that are completely great would be especially great.

An honest account of how good/bad... Whatever this thread is about... is if it were to be released in its current state.

How many hairstyles does the character creator have for each race? What hair and eye colors are currently available? – Jeff Glover There are currently 24 hairstyle choices per gender in the character creation system. Some of these choices are shared between races, but each race has some unique hairstyle options. Hair color and eye color are also specific to each race and align with established lore. For example, Wood Elves have an option for black eyes that is not available to any other race.

Read answers to ESO questions sent in from TESO Junkies and Tamriel Foundry at elderscrollsonline.com. Here’s a snippet of this week’s feature: How do you intend to make each Alliance War campaign feel persistent? Will campaigns last forever, or will they change from time to time, and will the enemies rotate? Campaigns last for three months at a time, so you’ll find yourself running into familiar faces during them. Also note that you won’t get rotated out or switched to other campaigns unless you choose to; you’ll be able to stay in the same campaign for the entire time your character exists if you want! When a campaign ends, the only things that reset are its leaderboards and the score. Keeps, Scroll ownership, emperor status, and where you are in the world don’t get reset. It gives a great sense of persistence when only the scoring mechanics “reset.†View Original Article
