General customization suggestions thread

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

I made a thread like this some time ago (after 9.0 launch). Here’s my hopes back then. Some are being fulfilled in 9.1.5!

@Alamara-goldrinn

Since the new customization options are live and we are likely to get more of them over the entire patch cycle, I decided to repeat and update my thread from the Beta forum.

I’m talking hopes and not predictions here. For mine, I’m focusing on likely things, nothing too complicated like new body types. This is not meant to be a full list, just what came to my mind. Post your hopes!

• Remove scars from the faces and re-add them as their own customization option.

Dwarves

• Split face and body tattoos
