First, I still love this game. It`s without a doubt my game of the year.
But I just created my second char, a warlock, and I was really bothered because of the bright and colourful clothing.
"Nevermind", I thought, "there are dyes in this game, so why not just look up where to find black dye?" But to my disbelief, I found out that there is black-and-red, black-and-summer etc, but no "pure black".
So I picked my first char, bought some of the black-and-whatever dyes, tried them out, and in most cases, they just didn´t look very black or just not black at all.
And considering that there are already dyes like pure red, green, blue and even orange I couldn`t help but ask...
Why? JUST F***ING WHY??? Why not implement such an easy, simple but yet so impactful thing?
I mean, let me ask you: If you would be an evil warlock, necromancer, assassin etc, would you dress up in bright a** colours? No? Yeah I thought so, because after all, playing as a dark, badass char while also looking like a rainbow unicorn destroys much of the immersion, right? So then, why do you make me dress up like that?
You literally have a feature in the game that allows players to dye their clothing like black-and-summer, peach-and-apricot, but you didn´t find it necessary to offer just "black"? Why??? If I would have been the guy responsible for this, this exact colour would have literally been the very first one on my list! And even now, just adding a new "just black" colour is very probably not more than just a few new lines of code. It would take you probably less time to add that than for me to write all this text here.
And yes I know, there´s "Aether`s black dye" mod, I already tried it (this was also the first and probably the last mod I installed because I usually play without mods), and guess what? It wouldn´t work!
Yes, I looked up alls the install instructions and youtube videos about BG3 mod manager, installed mod fixer etc, tried everything out that I could find, but ultimately the game just said "We Were unable to create a working story".
Moreover, I also found out that I can´t get any accomplishments in the game anymore if I have mods installed.
So I wasted two hours of my life trying to install a mod that wouldn`t work, just because you didn´t find it necessary to offer such an f***ing easy, simple thing. Thanks for that.
I mean, am I really the only one who´s bothered by this? I don´t think so!
Currently, the "Aether`s black dye" mod has over 140.000 downloads, so I would suggest the demand for pure black dye is pretty high. And after all, isn´t it actually part of your job as game developers to meet the demand of your customers? So that they don´t have to make and install mods for such simple little things themselves?

So sorry for the long rant, but after two hours of all this looking up and trying to make this work, I just felt really frustrated. And like I said, I couldn`t help myself but wondering why you wouldn´t implement such a tiny little but yet so important thing in the game in the first place.
I mean: It´s such a great game with millions of different dialogue options and story choices, you let the players decide so many things, even if they are so very bad, unwise or morally condemnable, but you don´t let them just dye their clothing black?
I genuinely don´t understand this.

So please, PLEASE just add this asap.
Many players like me will thank you for that so very much.
And like I said, I still love this game, I just want to fully enjoy it.
Thank you
