New Skyrim Screenshots - Races

[Kafka Torkarev]

HA HA! KAJIIT IS KICKEN ASS YEAH! woooooooooot
(damn thats one reptilian argonian)

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

Nords FTW! Nothing better than being a Viking/Vikign like character and killer things with a overly large hammer dressed in steel clothing and a horned helmet that covered the upper part of your face except the eyes...that was overly specific.

 

[Tdc2182]

All look superb. It's really taken the appearances to a whole new level.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

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

The hell? Which one? Both of those bosmer look like they could pop out of the wood, have an arrow in your eye and disappear before you could say 'ohshitabosmer.'

High elves are supposed to look like prancey pompous gits and neither of those do :/ I'm not missing something am I?


Edited cos I somehow spelt wood as in forest like 'would.'

The top one. The face and sword just scream I'M TOTALLY NOT A BOSMER to me .-.

I kinda see your point with the sword, but thats a bit like saying my character is oblivion looked like a daedra because I gave him a great big daedric axe :/ and to me the warpainty stuff on the face makes him look like some aztec/mayan type dudes in a film I watched.
Ah wells ^ ^ everyone interprets things differently, etc.
Also its 4 in the morning and I haven't slept in just over 24 hours, might wake up and think you were completely right.

 

[Omnific One]

...so much better than Oblivion's plastic faces. And if these are the result of 1-2 minutes of adjustments, imagine what you can get after 10 minutes.

 

[Chasing-The-Light]

I love the Argonian!!! I can't wait to play one of those!!

 

[yuval152]

Argonians finally look like lizards.

 

[Furioso]

OK, I can't be the only one to look at the Argonian and immediately think "Clever girl..."

But that's pretty awesome, they look real now, unlike before when the Orc looked like...well, play-doh punched into shape.

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing, I might have to make a Raptor class with them using some sort of stealth type of build

 

[Thumper17]

Some parts of the armour on these look really low polly, the elves in particular stick out, almost Oblivion esque textures.

It's likely because they havent finished polishing everythign quite yet. So I'll wait for the finished product.

Argonian looks respectable, might actually have to play one now.

You win +1 internet(s) for that reference.

Personally I like the Argonian and Khajiits, but the rest? They all look pretty bad, and is it me or do the environments look really bland and...not pretty?

I hope I can make my Argonian blue this time, that was the only colour I ever liked for Argonians.

you know, as stoked as I am for this game, every time I see trailers and screenshots it doesn't look that much different than Oblivion. I hope that's just me making an early unfounded judgement.

OT: They all look pretty awesome, if too excessively muscular. The kajiit specifically stood out to me. I just might roll one this time around.

 

[KaWaiiTSuKI]

That... Kajhit... is awesome O.O

 

[Double A]

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.

That is like taking the old orcs and multiplying by the inverse of the orc in the OP.

In other words, holy shit that orc looks badass!

 

[Wayneguard]

Skyrim... oh how full of win you are.

 

[TheHighDino]

Dear Christ... that Argonian looks so epic i'd bend over for it. :|

 

[ShatteredBlack]

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.

Cynical, much?

Which ones are 'fugly'? To my mind atleast, they're all miles ahead of the oblivion character models. You can't honestly say these shot look worse than say... this guy

Spoiler: Dark elf

Also, what do you base you accusations of poor design or buggy-ness on?

 

[mornal]

First point of note: Bosmers look badass.

Second point of note: Beards! Manly beards!

This game is shaping up to be the game of my lifetime (obvious hyperbole).

 

[Dusk17]

Am i the only one who thinks all of those characters look really ugly? not the graphics those are good, but the characters themselves.

I also wish people would stop getting so excited over a game that will most likely turn out to be average.

I don't speak for him, but personally although they do look better than the Oblivion races, the designs in Oblivion were so bad that they set a very low bar for greatness.

These pictures make the races look better, but not great by any strecth. The only ones I persoanlly think look good are the Argonians and Khajiits. It probably won't matter in the end because if the character customisation is good then we'll be able to make them look good ourselves (which was very difficult in Oblivion).

Also, I don't know about you but those environments looks really bland and dull, it's too dark and doesn't look pretty at all. Maybe it's just a bad coincidence and maybe there are some really good looking places, but I haven't seen any in all of these videos and pictures.

As for bugginess, the Creation engine is more of an improvement of Gamebryo, and knowing Bethesda it will more than likely still be buggy, less than Gamebryo, but still buggy.

...Not going to lie, the Redguard look likes he from Fable.

...Nah, that means he from a good game!
