New Skyrim Screenshots - Races

[similar.squirrel]

Man, Oblivion had pretty bland character-models, didn't it?

Love most of them, especially the faces of those last 2 Dunmer. They really make me think of, well, Indian elves, what they're supposed to be. My only gripe is that they seem to be a bit too bulky for elves. I mean sure they're woodelves, but still elves. But I love that they actually gave every elf race their own flavour.

But no matter how awesome the improvements are, except the still retarded Orc, I'll still be playing a good ol' Nord. Viking Gandalf here I come

Argonians look pretty good . They look a little more "dinosaur-ish" than other games. Everything else either looks outright fugly to just alright... mainly due to the repulsive graphics engine more than anything. Yuck... even Oblivion characters looked better than some of these.

Just more reason not to waste my money on what is going to be a colossal disappointment. 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.

Or we just like it. Ever thought that could be the case hm?

]Wait, no High Elves anymore?

If this is to be believed [http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2011/01/12/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-combat-leveling-races-detailed.htm] we'll have 10 races to choose from, and this post only shows 7. They just haven't revealed all of them yet.

Nord.
Vikings fuck yeah!

I like the Nord ... also, there are furries in Skyrim?

What do you mean by that? The Khajiit are cat-people that inhabit almost all of Tamriel, just like the other races. From TES II Daggerfall, all of the 10 races are included in the games as both NPCs and playable characters.

Sorry, I'm kinda new to the Elder Scrolls. Skyrim will be my first game.

Furries are anthropomorphic half-human half-animal creatures, that are ... um ... a creepy geek culture? I don't know there isn't a clear definition on this.

 

[faspxina]

Thank god for properly placed eyes.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Nord here I come..they live in Skyrim so I'm going with the native people that inhabit it.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Orc wasnt really impressive in my opinion... though thats more a personal opinion greatly influenced by the hair than anything else I think =p

All in all looks sweet!

Orcs can have stylish Italian hair cuts too, y'know?

Yeah, this is all looking good but where are the Bretons?

 

[godofallu]

All of them are improved a ton, very impressed.

 

[Platypusbill101]

The Khajiit look a lot better now. It was a good idea to make them look more like bobcats than lions, gives a more northern feel.

New dunmer Screenshot!

 

[Macrobstar]

Jesus bosmer look fucking bad ass!

 

[Jackalb]

That Bosmer's arms are freaking huge, I prefer mine scrawny.

 

[Sylare]

y no breton

 

[Fbuh]

These are beautiful. It's sad, but some of teh Morrowind pics are more detailed than the Oblivion pics.

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
4this 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!

Dude we know it has oblivion levelling they announced that, for a fan you don't follow much news. And plus with all the character customisation options they announced they'll look as good as you make em

 

[blankedboy]

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

Now be honest. Would you really prefer they still looked like...

Spoiler: this?

Is that not the most punchable face you have ever laid eyes on?

Of course I don't. I want them to look like this.

 

[EHKOS]

Really liking that last dark elf. I hope I'll get a cloth map by the time I'm able to pre order, stupid having to have money to buy things.
