Colorblind Option?

Post » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:52 am

Greetings,

I sent them a tweet but was curious if this has been said or not. But, will the Elder Scrolls Online offer any colorblind option? I have trouble with various colors and was just curious if something like this has been mentioned before or not.

Thanks!

I have a similar to a lesser extent problem. For example, I know red from green. But when they're both together on the screen, I get confused. Especially highlights.

I doubt there is a color blind option for the whole gameworld but I hope they at least have text options so if they do colored text you can distinguish the differences.

I'm also colourblind but I have a hard time imagining what could possibly go wrong with an MMO in regards to colourblindness. Maybe something to do with PvP? That said, approximately 10% of people have some form of colourblindness so they'd better cater to us.

Well for people with red-green colourblindness that red circle on the ground to indicate target could be a problem. Also icons on maps can often be an issue (especially with yellow-blue colourblindness, little indicators on maps seem to be shades of yellow in games a lot as do map backgrounds).

They could put a healing symbol in the middle of the healing ring, and other symbols for other rings, etc.
