Good numbers so far. I'll be monitoring this poll and include any results in my notes.

Might I suggest (I know, I just went ahead and did ^^)that you make a shop, but only have the artisan doing a few dyes? Perhaps three different standard collors and then let the player create the rest from plants gathered in the wilderness.

This may be a very minor spoiler but

 

Fish and butterflies are in the game and are pickable (you click them, they get added to your inventory). Believe it or not, fish scales is a common ingredient in women's make-up, because it can yield vibrant colours. I think actually crafting the dye will be simple if they've implemented New Vega's and priors' crafting system. Butterfly wings and many other insects have always been used for dyes and tattoos as well. Just create a recipe and you're good to go. So lore-wise that's fitting.

Great suggestions!

 

First, thank you for the feedback so far.

 

Second, two questions:

 

1) What 'kind' of recipes would you prefer?

 

Recipes that include appropriate ingredients from the world of Skyrim?

Or color mixing dyes from primary colors to create the secondary color dyes? i.e.-yellow dye with blue dye creates green dye?

 

2) Do you think brown and orange should be a color included in the choices? While in certain situations, brown my be appealing, but I'm thinking people will go for the other dyes, and adding just two color adds A LOT of time.

 

I myself think ingredients from the world would be great, but have the Artisan have a few main colors on hand...thoughts?

I think this is a great idea! But it would be very time consuming. But if someone could pull it off I'm all in for it :D

[topeira]

Yeah. Nice idea.

Im more curious as to how one can control what he colors. How can i control the coloring of my armor?

Just giving the armor a monochromatic shade of a certain color can be OK but very limiting and with a risk of looking ugly.

need some more feedback please

use the potion maker and when you craft you get a potion that when you drink it it change the collor of your armor that you have on yourself
