Bethesda reveals Skyrim Dark elf

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I think I know who I'm going to be playing as when Skyrim comes around.

 

[Gatx]

Kind of cool, but not really how I'd make my character. Luckily Skyrim will have Oblivion's extensive face generator right?

I'm actually more excited about the fact that he's holding his swords (daggers?) with a reverse grip.

 

[sunsethorizons]

Ninjas. Damn.

 

[Macrobstar]

They aren't particularly dark. Maybe their skin got lighter from being in a cold/less sunny climate.

They've always had a variety of skins colours, blue, black, grey and such

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

[sub]And is it just me, or does he look like a cross between a Vulcan and a Klingon, with the ears of some anime elf? Think Sybok from Star Trek V.[/sub]

I like the look but he looks....Chinese...almost like some older aged man from like a Dynasty Warriors type game

Grand Master {name}, Swordmaster of the Ashland Tribe

 

[Xaio30]

I've never liked the appearance of the Dunmer. Until now.
Damn good job, Bethesda. I can't wait for the Argonian picture!

 

[WanderingFool]

He looks old and angry, but otherwise awesome.

Okay... is there a Mowhawk? Cause I sear to God, its this *holds thumb and pointer finger about millimeter apart* close to being a Night elf mowhawk.

 

[JasonKaotic]

Sweet! Looks like they're going back to Morrowind's style of characters. This is good.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Way better than the crap that they were in Oblivion...

 

[Laser Priest]

This is good!

Frankly, I'm just glad the elves don't look like shit anymore.

 

[Cyrin]

Sweet! Looks like they're going back to Morrowind's style of characters. This is good.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[pwnzerstick]

The time from now to november is taking way too damn long. I want to play it already!!!

 

[Impluse_101]

Captcha: Chapter toouply
Skyrim is a chapter in elder scrolls about.....2 ply toilet paper?

Please say you only played one previous Elder Scrolls game. Then it'd be "Chapter 2 U Play!"

Oh no...we're gonna have to log into Uplay like Assassins Creed 2....

Ffff....

I kid I kid.

 

[WonderWillard]

Wow, looks pretty awesome, especially compared to the rather goofy looking Dunmer from Oblivion. Also, I'm getting a weird, Dragon Age 2 vibe from that picture. Maybe it's the dual daggers. I also feel like those two statements might incite minor flame.

 

[Wolfbane_Daoine]

Sybok, eh? Now that you mention it, he does bear a visual similarity. And I think I can even hear his battle cry... "Your pain runs deep! Share it with me!" ^_^

 

[Phlakes]

Considering how they looked in Oblivion-

-well, Bethesda has made me a very happy green llama-phallus thing.

 

[Valdsator]

if they have the morrowind voice i'm going dunmer. hell yeah.

Oh man, I've completely forgotten about that voice. It would fit so well with this new appearance!

 

[Imperium9990]

Pssh. I'd rather see Argonian... Though I guess he looks kind of cool. Not really digging the top knot though.

 

[Blackout62]

Personally i think it looks effin awesome

Don't you mean "elfin" awesome.

Wait a few years then you can shoot me for that pun.

OH COME ON

Regarding the image, that's the second most Japanese-looking elf I've ever seen!

Looks fucking cool though.
