As a master merchant, I find it annoying that I must keep making and destroying vendor NPC's until I get one that looks halfway decent. As a master, I should be able to customize my vendor's looks from facial features to body. This is a MUST.

I second this. I actually thought it was already possible, because the skill tree gives a misleading statement when you click on Hiring IV: Uniforms - something about being able to customize their appearance. I guess it's referring only to clothes, but I thought it meant Image Design as well.

With the new changes planned to the Image Designer profession, this shouldn't be that hard to implement, I would think....

If they're going to address this, I'd rather have it so you need an Image designer to change thier physical looks. You know,.give them more opportunities to be involved. And I'm not talking about artisan ID,.I mean the Elite proff kind.
Have it so you can hire someone and give them 'permissin' to alter your vendors appearance just like if it was done to you.

Bump for that one

Actually they're talking about giving ID"s this ability which I think works out great for all of us.

I have to agree with Protonpete on this one. I had the pleasure of meeting a Master Image Designer today in my travels and felt bad that she had to beg people for work. I really think that this is the most estranged proffesion in the game. I think that if the devs allowed ID's to interact with vendor customization that would do wonders for their proffesion.

I totally agree, I just got Hiring 4 and find it wasn't worth my time. I have deleted and created about 40 femalehuman vendors just to find ONE which doesn't have a HUGE BUTT. Also not one of my vendors created have blond hair.I mean I was hoping to be able to have a vendor in my house which looks like me oh well, guess I'll go back to an all wookie slave shop.

Everything I've seen in response to this from the dev side it seems pretty clear they like the idea of giving this skill to the ID's and allowing us to contract with them for customizing the vendors. Now..the technical challenges to that are a different story. Hopefully this is a skill they will get ironed out soon.

What? Techinical challenges? You mean they ran out of pixie dust that does all of this instantly? Q must have used it all up in his jolt cola.

I agree, this ability would be nice and also wouldn't mind giving it to an image designer. It will give them something more to do, we can customize our vendors and I don't see the image designers getting greedy and holding us ransome or anything.

Think about it though...

If you're a business owner IRL, can you change the image of your employee at will???

Nooooo, during the hiring process (vendor creation) you take one look at the potential employee and send him/her packing (destroy it) if you don't like what you see.

We aren't changing it at will we are offering the NPC the opportunity for a free makeover on the company's dime..if he refuses..then he goes packing!!!

I agree with this one even though I dropped all of merchant but 3000. Still a great idea.
