2. You say it is misleading but you just said that 5 out of the 20 skin-tones are like that, now let me get out my calculator... That's 1/4 of them that are human-like, not a large amount... It just means people can choose to make a more human looking Elf. You have the option of being from the Simpsons if you so wish.

3. They can easily patch it, they will be doing big updates which adds more quests, factions as well as armour and NPCs. They can just as easily include a new batch of skin-tones, maybe I can get my pitch black pink hair Altmer from Oblivion. The Subscription fee is so that these updates can take place, I still don't think it is a good idea but that's what it's for.

4. Skyrim's character customization wasn't very good, it only allowed customization or the face and head as well as very limited customization of the build of the body. ESO allows for more body customization such a height and muscle as well as a good amount of face and head customization. The Skils and Classes are the things that are limited.

5. Whether or not they were misleading is by matter of opinion, either way it was a good move on their part to make some slightly lore-iffy skin-tones, it isn't breaking the lore as evolution in TES has shown that characters and skin-tones in paticular are very diverse and it allows for more character customization. 1. Then it sounds like you're a douche who swears at people a lot (no offense).

2. Zenimax stated that you can only choose from lore-based skin colors. This is obviously misleading when looking at the screenshots as it contradicts their statement. It's not that difficult to grasp.

3. The only way ZOS will change things is if people bring up their complaints. Berating people for doing that (as you're doing) isn't going to give ZOS any reason to patch the character customization.

4. Skyrim's character customization is better than Oblivion's; simple as that (since you brought up Oblivion's as an exmaple rather than Skyrim's).

5. It's not a matter of opinion. Altmer don't have human skin tones, and ZOS said you can only choose from lore-based skin tones. My argument was that their statement was misleading, not that I'm against diverse character customization (which can be achieved without Tolkein-esque Elves).
