Even better, your plugin can be a perpetual WIP, so when you come across a new NPC whose look you don't like, you can just load up the mod again and make another change. But with the editor, you can make a single plugin that contains all the changes you want, and they'll be that way forever. The Show Race menu would work for one set of saves, but if you ever made a new character those NPCs would revert back to their default state and you'd lose all your hard work. I think the best you're going to get is the ability to customize their look via the editor when it comes out. Is it possible? Anyone else interested in this? Obviously introducing race changes may cause some issues, but even if we had access to the visual sliders for an NPCs given race that would be amazing.
The possibilities of updating Lydia's look, and some others would be great. Additionally, make permanent or temporary edits to NPCs, weapons, armors, spells, weather, and more in-game. Play as multiple characters within the same game world, on the same save game file - all with their own unique appearance, perks, spells, items, and stats. I'd love to see a way to customize NPCs in the game through the showracemenu interface, or something like it. Proteus will redefine how you play Skyrim.
