In the fantasy MMO The Elder Scrolls Online, options for character customization after creation are still lacking.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, there is consideration for allowing players to change their character’s hairstyle, perhaps to undergo a makeover or even to give them a new voice. When this will happen is still unknown.
The Elder Scrolls Online had character creation issues at launch
Character creation is a sensitive topic, especially in an MMO like The Elder Scrolls Online that heavily focuses on immersion. It was particularly unfortunate that during the server rush in the first days, not only chaos threatened to ruin character creation, but also a bug occurred that prevented zooming in on the firstborn character. Additionally, some players may simply get tired of their character over time and regret not choosing a different hairstyle or voice.
Will players perhaps become barbers themselves?
Especially in The Elder Scrolls Online, which strongly binds players to a character and allows them to spend much time with it, this is a sensitive issue. Zenimax is aware of this and has repeatedly expressed the possibility of introducing some form of “hairdresser” or “barber” into the game, as is already standard in other games. However, how far this service will go and whether it will also extend to the removal or addition of scars or tattoos, or whether other character parameters can even be changed, is still unknown.
In the past, Zenimax also considered not offering this through an NPC service in the game, but to introduce it as a type of “profession” or as skills within a profession, allowing players to style or alter each other.
A detailed schedule or a corresponding method is still unknown, according to current statements. The latest forum post simply reaffirms that something like this is supposed to come. However, no timeframe has been given yet.
