New Skyrim Screenshots - Races

[Double A]

The orc looks too human, but the rest of them are pretty damn awesome.

Of course Bethesda fans are too blind to realize that the dev's MO is overhyping their buggy, poorly designed pieces of garbage in hopes that someone will buy into it hook, line, and sinker.

I can understand not liking the franchise or the company that makes it, but is it really necessary to insinuate that everybody who likes the games only does so because the company told them to? If how well a game was recieved was based entirely around pre-release hype, Dante's Inferno would have gone down as a classic of modern gaming.

 

[Who Dares Wins]

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.

Oh my god.

The Argonians look like Turians.
This is wonderful news.

I'm offially in love with argonians again! Time to work on my stealth...

 

[Magnesium360]

I like the facial tattoo on the human. That looks properly badass.

 

[Extravagance]

Bosmer and the Kahjit lok superb! Hell, they all do, but those two have had the best upgrades I think.

 

[Versuvius]

Who Dares'. That orc does look badass. Consider my opinion revised

 

[someonehairy-ish]

All of those are amazing, although...
It just occurred to me that that dunmer (dark elf) guy looks like he's sneezing.
One slight criticism is the choice of hair for the orc, which looks completely out of place.


I don't think I'm going to be able to choose just one or two races from those... will probably end up having a dozen or so characters, probably one of each race-ish.

Having a bosmer and beastfolk characters first though, I think. Khaajit will be some kinda mage/warrior combo, Bosmer assassin. Hmm Not sure about the argonian, might just make him evil and see where things go from there. Definately having one though, lizardmen are made of win.

 

[r0kle0nZ]

Argonians look like actual bad asses this time around. Also was I the only person that thought the Orc looked like a Pissed Off Guido?

 

[DrWilhelm]

They only got to play for an hour? Holy crap! Those faces all look fantastic, and it usually takes me an hour at least to create a face that looks even slightly decent. Colour me impressed.

 

[trollnystan]

The Nords, Redguard and the Imperial/Breton look great too.

Why are people commenting on Imperials/Bretons? I don't see them in this line up. Or am I blind?

OT: I LOVE that Argonian. I want Skyrim now =(

 

[Pierce Graham]

Wow, they really improved the Beast Races. In Oblivion, they just looked like furry or scaly humans.

 

[Nieroshai]

It all looks amazing, including the Argonian. The orc looks like Mel Gibson though...
Once again, it looks like my first playthrough will be a lizard.

 

[Arluza]

I like the cat race and Argonians the best. Part of it is the poses they have and part of it is those are the most interesting races in TES to me.

 

[spartan231490]

They are cool, but why are there two Khajit, Bosmer, and Nord? and i'm assuming the other races are yet to come?

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

Would it kill them to show some female characters? I ..think...the argonian is female but im starting to get nervous that they have taken female characters out of the game I don't think I've seen a single screenie with one yet. There was a woman with brown hair but maybe that was an npc I dont know.

I think they are looking great though. I love the style of the Bosmer.

 

[blankedboy]

How did they screw up the Bosmer that much? He looks more like a fucking High Elf than a Bosmer.

 

[Jamous]

They all look spectacular, it seems it'll be difficult to create an slackjawed oddball character this time. =D

But we shan't let that stop us, shall we?
The races this time round looks absolutely cracking. Love the new beastmen races, they look beautiful. And the human races actually look human now! Fancy that.
...Fuck I'm excited. Need it. Neeeeeeeed.

 

[GigaHz]

So basically Humans, Elves, Furries and Furry Elves.

Never thought Elder Scrolls was very creative on their racial diversity.
