I'd love to see where the official lore of the markings being genetic is, because in all the lore stated by SE on them, they're War Paint. I have seen fan made rp lore stating genetic, but that's just fan stuff.

That's not what I'm saying. I don't mind it if clans had different skin tones, physical features, or backgrounds, but if I don't want something as minor as a mark on the nose, I shouldn't have to have it forced on me. Make it a tattoo or an optional feature. And ear and height differences is nowhere near the point I'm trying to makeSo what you're saying is that, there should be no clan/tribal/race differences at all? That would just stifle any uniqueness. Hell, if we are removing markings, we might as well give Elezen rounded ears, I prefer that style. Oh we could increase Lalafell height to match Hyur, I prefer taller characters.
You mean like this?I would like the option to remove markings, too. I wanted to make a Hellsguard for a particular skin tone. But the dark marking on the nose was too much of a turn off, so I picked Sea Wolf. It looked to "bear/dog-like" to me. So now my character is paler than I wanted her to be, but at least no nose marking.
Based on a Roegadyn NPC referring himself as a cub when he was a young boy, it's quite possible that Roegadyn may actually be related to bears at some level.
It also makes the phrase "Beargadyn" feel more accurate than people realize!
That could be my ursine bias speaking, however.
In which case...it would be better in the face paint category as exclusive Miqo'te options!
Moenbryda is a Seawolf Roe and I believe she has the same skin colour as my character: the bottom left option. I could be wrong though. Can't exactly go check it in game... :'(

I think some racial identity is nice though. Npc's get special treatment sometimes to make them more special, but it's nice to see players within the usual parameters of the races and clans. Wouldn't be much point in having them in the first place if people could make their character any way imaginable.

Not necessarily to remove them completely though, but to be able to select the face shape we want and pair it with the stripe pattern we want, rather than each face having the markings attached and unchangable.
