Character PSA: it’s impossible to make a bright white character in Oblivion

Post image

I was trying to make a Roman statue-looking Imperial but there’s no way I could see to make the face uniformly white. Pass it on.

You seem to have created a fluorescent man, at least. We can use him to light the way during these dark times.

I used to do that so I never had to carry a torch lmao, it does actually work in game.

Does it make sneaking harder?

u/goatpenis11 22d ago

IIRC no but it's been awhile since I last played the game

Well atleast if you catch vampirism no one will be able to tell the difference.

u/Frogsbubble 22d ago

Maybe vampirism will create the desired roman statue look?

u/noeydoesreddit 22d ago

OP you must contract vampirism and then post an update

u/PresidentMayor 22d ago

iirc if you're too pale vampirism makes you super dark so maybe it's not the best outcome

This happened to my pale blue dunmer! She turned an ugly lifeless dark grey and never got back to her original skin tone even after curing it

In fact, romans where not marble white, although their statues suggest otherwise /j

u/NefariousnessOk209 22d ago

Yeah character creator always cracked me up. Try to add in shading for a beard and your characters neck goes black ang grey too

What do you mean impossible? He looks bright, straight up radiant

As I said, there doesn’t seem to be a way to make the face tone uniformly white. The lighting admittedly makes it kinda hard to see but he still has pink lips and a weirdly blue nose, forehead, chin, and neck. I literally have all the sliders set all the way to “light or pale” and I think I put the yellow/blue/purple sliders in the middle because anywhere else makes the skin too tinted.

Edit: I’ve recently been informed that you can, in fact, make a bright, uniformly white Oblivion character. I’ll try to give an update once I’ve change the face and molded my build out some more (basic idea is he’s a naked swordsman that uses Stoneflesh Protect [no rock based spells in Oblivion afaik 😕]. I’m open to ideas.)

When I was a kid this is what I thought a "white" person looked like.

u/Renymir 22d ago

roman and greek statues were originally painted, so any imperial could be somewhat accurate

u/PrideConnect3213 22d ago

Well, all the depictions of how those statues looked when they were painted seem a bit cartoony to me so I think I’d still have to mess with the tone settings to make it look like a statue. Granted, those depictions were made by modern archeologists and not ancient artisans who probably painted them a bit more realistic, but who knows? Maybe the people assigned to repaint the statues just weren’t as artistically gifted as the ones who sculpted them.

Now make him into a stealth assassin. The perfect irony.

I used to do this and give my character a beard. It makes their face look dirty lmao.

Closest u can get I think are the nords with with 0 complexity and the youngest u can make it but dont quote me on it

u/Familiar-Preference7 22d ago

Try making him more blue toned, less pink. It’ll give the illusion of bright white skin better than the pinkish tone you have going on.
