If you try and use the skin color for pale snowy white, it doesn't show up when your character is created.
Bug?
Why can't you make a pale white-skinned character?

shows up fine for me.
Made a pale ele, pale nec, and pale mes.
Not tried warr monk or rang.

Any idea why it might not show up for my elementalist?

Maybe it's a technical error of some kind?
Caster of Neverwinter
I dunno. I'm messing around with the shadow settings and stuff..its jsut the skin of her won't look snowy white like at the creation screen.

Try updating your video card drivers to the latest version. Or try reinstalling the game, perhaps it's an error in your DAT file (mapping in the wrong texture for your skin).
Also keep in mind the game features realistic lighting, which means your skin color (and everything else) will change depending on lighting conditions.

Yeh, it might be some corrupt file. I mean, the skin looks fine in the character creation screen, but is different in game. I can't quite figure that out.

I have the same problem with my newly created Warrior:

Something I have noticed - is that the pale pale skin tones don't really show up well until Post Searing. PreSearing is all bright and sunny, and I think it collides somehow.
Caster of Neverwinter
Can we be sure its just a sunny pre-searin?
Caster of Neverwinter
With my elementalist, the login screen has skin like snow. Soon as I join the game, even under shadows, the skin is fair. Major differences.
Sidra Meum
Yes, It is the same way with my Elementalist. Once I went through the searing, her skin showed up pale as well. So, I am fairly certain its presearing.
What you can do is grab the first few mission, get to level 3, then go through the academy as a test to see what color the skin hue is - then always delete her and remake her to start over. Shouldnt take maybe 20 minutes.

Nice idea, gonna do that now. Be back with results soon.
Caster of Neverwinter
Same problem still.
Caster of Neverwinter
But yes, I guess there is a change. The lighting for this game is pretty weird.

I had a similar problem with a mesmer - the character was created with an olive-tone skin, and as soon as she went through the sear, she became fair-skinned, the olive tone still shows up in the inventory window, but in game and in the login screen are both fair. I can't tell if it's the bizarre post-sear lighting or some bug. If it's the lighting, why is it fair in the login? And if it's a bug, why is it correct in the inventory?

Caster of Neverwinter, have you never heard of the edit key? or do you enjoy double posting?
