Bethesda Shows Off QuakeCon Skyrim Characters

[Scott Mansley]

I guess I'll be playing.. The Lusty Argonian Maid.

 

[Droppa Deuce]

DROP A DEUCE!

That Redguard looks totally hunked out!

There are gonna be a lot of half Nord - half Redguard babies running around the North when I'm through with this game. Them smoking hot Nord wenches will be desperate for a taste of my chocolate coated pork sword.

Normally i use only Dark Elf.....but the new Argonians look awesome. Not sure about the Orc though, ive seen other pictures where they look like Orc so thats good. I guess the one about is a Orc/Human halfbreed.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Wow, the argonians actually look bad-ass in Skyrim...

 

[51gunner]

Priorities for this game:

1) Attempt to recreate magic-proof Morrowind character, the Nord Barbarian who I managed to get immune to fire, frost, and shock as well as being resistant to everything and only 50% of magic would land anyways.

2) Recreate my Altmer magical wrecking machine from Morrowind.

3) Khajit thief has no time for you

 

[ultrachicken]

I'm really loving the Khajiit designs, and the Argonians look like fucking dragons this time around. Awesome.

Also, I find it hilarious how everyone looks so pissed off in this game. It's like all the citizens of Skyrim have rods shoved up their ass.

Did you notice that the only female was a frickin' lizard girl?

What does that say about the quality of their FEMALE faces?

EDIT: Oh .. one of the other posters stuck some up. But the detail is not as impressive as the male faces ... is it the facial/body hair that's impressive a la Zangief?

 

[Jaeke]

omfg they all look amazing. The Argonians look freaking awsome. I always play my first playthrough with a dunmer but man, they all look so amazing.

 

[Jaeke]

BTW which race is picture 9? looks like an imperial but it almost looks like a bosmer (yes thats what theyre called)

 

[Jaeke]

Still don't understand why Argonians have breasts, but I'm just glad that the Wood Elves don't look like shit anymore.

Yeah they are reptilian so I see what your saying but i guess its just to differentiate(spelling :/) male from female

 

[Jaeke]

WAIT A MINUTE???? Does picture 3 have Red Eyes???? Is that an albino dunmer?

 

[Jaeke]

If the plot revolves around you being one of the Dovahkiin , what logic is there in making the protagonist anything but a Nord ?

It seems nonsensical to me.

I wondered the same thing with dunmer's in Morrowind but it all doesnt really matter. You're a Dovahkiin which just means born with the soul of a dragon so it doesnt necessarily mean Nord.

 

[Fertro]

Facial hair. YYYYYYYYES!

WAIT A MINUTE???? Does picture 3 have Red Eyes???? Is that an albino dunmer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they had red eyes in Oblivion, didn't they?

 

[Abedeus]

All I care about are MODSSSSS please tell me they are not abandoning them? Loved them in Fallouts and Oblivion.

 

[Hugga_Bear]

I saw the Argonians and I was thinking that yes, they would be my first character.
Then I see the redguard and his rippling new physique and think that maybe I should start with a full on warrior for once. Then the Khajitt purrs at me and I reconsider my normal love of crawling through tight spaces for that kill...

Now I see a wood elf and they look badass? What is going on BethSoft?! Even the orcs look better...my god if this is how they look I genuinely don't know what I'll go with, this is such a huge improvement on Oblivion it's insane...

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

I've always had a problem with how ugly the characters look in Elder Scrolls games, and this is no exception. The tools are better, but the artist hasn't improved his craft. Thankfully, there's an active modding community to fix these short comings.

 

[Turigamot]

Wow. OK. It's decided. I'm gonna be a
Redguard first.

 

[Jaeke]

Facial hair. YYYYYYYYES!

WAIT A MINUTE???? Does picture 3 have Red Eyes???? Is that an albino dunmer?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they had red eyes in Oblivion, didn't they?

Yeah, of course they have red eyes. i meant the pale skin.

 

[Gyrefalcon]

Well hells bells! The Argonians are back and better than evar!!! My one irk is that they are not digitigrade. A nice cosmetic difference that made them even more unique. Oh well, mod tools fix that and... AHEM!!! Enhance the characters in certain ways.

Yes, like removing the mammary glands and perhaps enhancing the gular fold which is more species appropriate in reptilian based races.

Or not giving a flying doughnut about a fictional race's biology of its real life counter parts for the purpose of the rule of cool and adding more stuff to make sexy time. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Heh. Maybe. But I am a girl so seeing a large chest is about as exciting as seeing ants at a picnic.

That made me laugh so hard! Now everybody in the room thinks I am nuts.
