Am i the only one who thinks all of those characters look really ugly? not the graphics those are good, but the characters themselves.

I also wish people would stop getting so excited over a game that will most likely turn out to be average.

Cynical, much?

Which ones are 'fugly'? To my mind atleast, they're all miles ahead of the oblivion character models. You can't honestly say these shot look worse than say... this guy

Also, what do you base you accusations of poor design or buggy-ness on?
I don't speak for him, but personally although they do look better than the Oblivion races, the designs in Oblivion were so bad that they set a very low bar for greatness.

These pictures make the races look better, but not great by any strecth. The only ones I persoanlly think look good are the Argonians and Khajiits. It probably won't matter in the end because if the character customisation is good then we'll be able to make them look good ourselves (which was very difficult in Oblivion).

Also, I don't know about you but those environments looks really bland and dull, it's too dark and doesn't look pretty at all. Maybe it's just a bad coincidence and maybe there are some really good looking places, but I haven't seen any in all of these videos and pictures.

As for bugginess, the Creation engine is more of an improvement of Gamebryo, and knowing Bethesda it will more than likely still be buggy, less than Gamebryo, but still buggy.

the anticipation is better than the arrival.
which is why i'm trying very hard not to orgasm right now.
seriously, they all look epic. i will get in an infection-proof bubble, live the next few months of my life in there, not leave the house, intake many vitamins, exercise, purchase this game, play it and then i can die happy. but hopefully 127 years, 364(or 5) (depending on leap year) days and 24:59:59 hours.

They look really cool and all but I'm a little disappointed at the lack of Breton or High Elf pictures. Was kinda hoping to see a crazy mage engulfed in fire and lightning, or something. Am considering playing as one of the beast races for the first time though, they look freakin awesome!

Thanks loads for both the screenshots and the link mate, the screens look awesome (some of those races REALLY changed... and I LOVE it! Particularly the Khajit [though I've seen a previous screenshot of them already]) and the unofficial thread will be good to dig through info now and then :)

What the hell is with the Orcs, man? They look more like Half-Elves. Beyond that they all look good. Definitely going with Khajit or Argonian. Screw the Nords in their little Nord land.
technically they are elves in the elder scrolls universe

OT me need me hunger me kill to get it
GO KHAJJIT also redguards are better looking this time round

I'm still playing and Oblivion. Can't wait for Skyrim!

Who here thinks the Khajits should look more like the Thundercats?

Ok, I'm a HUGE elder scrolls fan (like back to arena, the DOS games even) I love TES, but I have to say, I'm increasingly underwhelmed by the news about skyrim.
list of minor complaints here:
1:They all look so generic and gray, it's painful to me...
2:where are the dunmer's red eyes? I can't see them :(
3:you wouldn't know these bosmer we even elves, if it weren't for their ears
4:(this is by far the worst for me) WHERE ARE THE ALTMER?!?!?!
I'm outraged at this discrimination xD lol, jk
but seriously, I think these look nowhere near as good as they could. I wouldn't mind the game being pushed back another YEAR, as long as it doesn't dissapoint. This and the rumors of fallout style XP-based leveling, (rather than their signiture skill-leveling)
it looks very dissapointing :(

on a lighter note, thank you for the pics OP! :D

IMNSHO, Orc looks too human. I enjoy my burly, big jawed green motherfuckers.

The orc looks too human, but the rest of them are pretty damn awesome.
That's because the Kotaku reviewer made him look like that. Usual orcs still look badass.

That is like taking the old orcs and multiplying by the inverse of the orc in the OP.

In other words, holy shit that orc looks badass!
Please tell me I'm not going to be the only one rolling an Orc male warrior who can cast elemental spells, carring a two-handed Ebony warhammer and wearing Ebony armor, killing dragons while screaming "LOK'TAR OGAR! FOR THE HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDE!" in this game.

Please?
