Well, I do think things like hair/beard style should have the possibility of being changed though.

troll face is troll

Its confirmed you can do that , theres going to be a npc in riften

I'm not believing this!!

Can't you just be glad with what Bethesda gives you???
You should already be happy that Bethesda listens to their fans and implants their these features in a DLC!!!

Bethesda, know that you guys are doing a really job and plz do continue this way! You have become my 2nd fav. developper (1st is Valve ofc, mainly because of steam).

I for one am looking forward to this dlc

just keep the race why would you want mid game change

Nobody should even answer his threads; this guy is unable to write anything positive about this game. It's all about complaining and whining; not worth the waste of time and energy.

You haven't really done or experienced anything at the time you leave the cave, so II'm not sure why anyone would want to change anything at that point.

I remember thinking this a few weeks back when I played FO:NV, i.e., why are you asking me this now, given that I hadn't even used the character enough to have a "whoops ... wish I chosen this instead" moment.

I think the idea offered by another poster re: save just before the spot you select your character is a good way to go.

I don't think thats a good way to go, after being identified off of the cart, you get 8 different kinds of lighting scenes and dozens upon dozens of angels/situations to view your char and sum up any touching up you might want. offering a "do you want to make changes" option would do well.

and besides its not like you have much else choice other than what you look like at that point.

Its as tedious as watching myself kill cam a wolf for the 1000th time. Its NOT COOL ANYMORE.

Can we change our name with the Riften "barber" then?

omg $tfu and just restart and change your race

OB had the customize-before-you-leave option you're talking about

Your post fails at every turn.

I spend time creating characters i really like before starting helgens keep and save them right after i exit the cave in case i want to play them over again.
Dont be mad at helgens keep because you get bored with your characters and restart a lot

oh and the only time you can change your looks is the same time you can change your race so this rant is ridiculous

Wow you guys cease to amaze me how you get what you want and still complain. Changing your races doesn't make sense buddy common sense.

Adding the ability to change your race is the most ridiculous request I've ever heard of. It would completely break immersion. Pick the race you want to use at the start of the game and if you aren't happy with that start again.. Simple.

Wait the ultimate solution for you.
1:open console
2:now write "showracemenu"
3:Profit?

changing race mid game is a little ridiculous.

This...is really stupid.

Are people never going to be satisfied?

Helgen Keep is 30 minutes to an hour, tops. If that is too much for you, then quit restarting.

Out of the many possible things that I might want to change mid-game, race is at the bottom. A person may change their hair color/length, or perhaps gain a tan or a few wrinkles over the coarse of the game, but how would one go from being an Argonian one moment, to a Nord the next?

I've played other games where they let you alter your character's appearance/stats with the drink of a potion, but even then, you weren't able to go back and forth from elf to dwarf to human.

Just put one foot in front of the other and don't look back. Think about restarting only when there's absolutely nothing else in the game to accomplish.

This.

Race changing is a stupid idea. If you want a argonian reroll. Be happy they're letting you do this.

Yup, that's why i use the alternate start mod. I just create a character and off i go!

But changing anything but hair and warpaint on an existing character doesn't make much sense to me in TES game. Fallout got away with it due to plastic surgery (with 50% survival rate!).

...Does TES world have any sort of medical sciences, or do they just use magic for healing all injuries, i've sometimes wondered?

All earth does is complain....

Changing facial hair, hair, and war paint is something that should be in the game. Changing anything else however, like race, wouldn't be logical.

On top of that, the fact that other characters wouldn't be able to notice that major as a race-change would be really annoying and would be seen as a major flaw.

Yeah, changing races mid game is lame. Start a new game. Don't like the intro? Mod it or quit. They don't owe you shortcuts past bits you don't like.
