No im not talking about the tatoo armor that the monks get or the scar pattern for necros, but simply cosmetic tatoo's like what fable had but to a larger degree. Its came to me during the naked dance party last night, lookin at the back of my char and thinking "how cool would my tribal dragon tatoo look on my char" any thoughts? and would it be do able without a huge rebuild of the character models? If it would take too much then id just suggest it for a later expansion

depends how they made the models and how clothing in the game works. clothing is just a skin that is applied over the mesh over the model, then a tattoo shouldnt be that big of a deal, since it would be basically an armor skin but smaller that goes over you when you are naked

that means making a set of monk armor available to all the classes? why not have all other armor sets available for all other classes?
i would think that giving everyone tatoos just makes those who can get them less special..

yeah i was thinking that as well, it should'nt be to hard, could be a nice way to individulize your character, it could be done a few ways , 1. You select premade skin overlays using an alpha channel, 2.The same way guild cloaks are made (looks like a hlsl overlay script). It would'nt be hard to do..just time consuming making 100 different tatoo images...

And for those people with special tatoos well they should glow
