Character Creation in The Elder Scrolls Online gives the user a multitude of options. First the player chooses the race, which corresponds to a set faction, unless the player has pre-ordered. Only those who have pre-ordered the game can choose any race in any faction, and only those who have pre-ordered the Imperial Edition, can play as the Imperial race. Secondly, the player choose a class, followed by the customization of the character like body posture, tattoos, hair, facial hair, horns or markings, depending on the race and sex.
