Bethesda Introduces Skyrim's New Faces

[Jymm]

Anyone mind saying the names of the different races? I can't really tell them apart.

I did a google search "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim faces" and found that Gamespy has the faces labeled by race.

OT: These faces are certainly more grittier than Oblivion's were.

Every single one of those looks terrifying.

I don't like the look of the Orcs though. They seem too humanised, kinda like green Nords with big teeth.

 

[AnarchistAbe]

As humans go, they clearly put the most work into the Nords.

Considering that Skrim takes place in the Nord homeland of...errr....Skyrim, I'd say that there is a reason for this that I can't quite put my finger on...lol

All joking aside, they do look great!

Thank you! This has been a peeve of mine since the first batches of characters have been coming out. You described them very accurately, "Green Nords with big teeth".

WOW! in oblivion i could barely see the difference between men and women now you can, also seems we may be able to create some actual good looking characters

huge step up

 

[Xaio30]

Well, gentlemen. Get started on picking out how your in-game wife will look!

 

[War Penguin]

Clever Girl.......Also am I the only person who is still struggling to tell which of the human races is which?

No, I'm having trouble with that, too. Well, actually, I have the feeling that the last set was the Nords, so that wasn't that much of a problem, but everyone else, yeah, kind of hard to tell.

But I doubt that would matter. The more I see the Argonians, the more I think to myself "f**k Imperial! I want to be a lizard man!"

Also I'm not a big fan of any of the females in this game [small](Argonians excluded)[/small]. Their lips seem way to big an glossy, as well as their eyes. Still, I'm sure I could change that, of course, so no biggy.

Well if I was to hazard a guess I would say, including non-human races, that the order goes: Argonian, Breton, Dunmer, Altmer, Imperial, Khajiit, Orc, RedGuard, Bosmer, Nord. But I could be completely wrong about that.

Yeah, I'd say that's about right.

 

[A Weary Exile]

Oi! Don't be dissin' Argonians, man. They're are ten kinds of awesome.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Look at the Argonians, now look at the Video.

That is FAR too damn creepy.

 

[Studs MacKenzie]

It's amazing what a difference 5 years makes. Oblivion NPCs still haunt me to this day... (think: Universal King Kong 3D radio commercials)

 

[major_chaos]

The dark elves look a little bit too much like something from startrek other than that this is awesome. Im gonna die if Skyrim gets any more awesome and I cant play it, we need a beta leak like with Deus Ex

 

[Alleged_Alec]

Why do all the Argonians have a mould line running over their face?

 

[newwiseman]

Everyone looks so splotchy, but the meshes are way better than oblivion. I'll still be loading custom textures and meshes though, my own are always better (and naked).

 

[pppppppppppppppppp]

Okay, these look really good, but can Bethesda let us make a character that ACTUALLY LOOKS HAPPY? Why does every character have to be scowling by default? And usually, if you try to give them a smile, you'll just end up messing up their facial structure.

Please, Bethesda, let me have a character that doesn't think life is pain.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

The graphics are better, but as faces go, they don't look as good as Oblivion.
Look at the Dark Elf, that's not a face...

I'm still going to play and love the game of course.

 

[Killclaw Kilrathi]

I like the Khajit look, seems like they're going back to the more bobcat looking style of Morrowind.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

Reminds me of the morrowind heads but more up-to-date in aesthetics/graphics... I like

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

That male Argonian with the red round his eyes looks awesome.

 

[Tanfastic]

Yes! I can play an Argonian again and have it look awesome! (Sorry Oblivion... your Argonians didn't cut it :/)
