Yep, just another a reason (as if I needed one!) to play as an Argonian again-they look freaking awesome in the new engine!

Wow the Argonians look amazing, and this is comming from someone who hated them in Morrowind/Oblivion.

Bosmer look ace too, I like how they are showing a more 'tribal' side of them which was always present in the Valenwood background but not represented in game.

For me though the best is the Nord second from last, somthing about the pose and hair just scream Berserker!

They look even better when you put them side by side with screenshots of the races in Oblivion, it really shows you how far graphics have come, and how much they have upgraded.

All look equally cool, but, just like in Oblivion, I will most likely play an Argonian or Dark Elf.

Updated thread with a comparison of the races through the games and a new Dunmer screenshot.

1:They all look so generic and gray, it's painful to me...
At least they look better than the Oblivion abominations.
2:where are the dunmer's red eyes? I can't see them :(
He is squinting so you can't see them, but he has them.
3:you wouldn't know these bosmer we even elves, if it weren't for their ears
They follow the lore description pretty accurately.
4:(this is by far the worst for me) WHERE ARE THE ALTMER?!?!?!
Blame the reviewers for not picking to play them.

Holy shit! I'd only seen the angry Toshiro Mifune Dunmer and the Khajiit wizard.

I love how the Bosmer actually look badass now. They were practically a joke race in the previous games, the short little cheery guys with slap-happy faces. Now they actually look like the angry, tribal, cannibalistic people they're supposed to be.

Although that second orc down looks kind of retarded. The first one they showed with the scar and dreadlocks looks awesome, but this guy looks like a talk show host with really bad teeth.

Oh well. They'll have to do better than that if they're trying to put me off the game. Thanks for putting these all in one place.

I can't believe that no one, except whoever made the Argonian, made a female character....
It makes me worried that they look pants. :<

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

The argonian looks awesome, dinosaur-like. I don't care much about the Orc though. As others mentioned, he just looks like an ugly human with tusks. The Bosmer don't look very distinct, but it might actually just be the pov of the shot.

I'm just glad the Khajiits look awesome.

The Orc in the screen shot doesn't look very orc like. but I never play Orc's anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

The Argonian is the biggest improvement.

So the game looks fucking amazing. Let's hope it plays well.

That Khajiit with sword and shield may have just sealed the deal; they look awesome now! Have to say that Argonians look much cooler now as well; in fact they all look pretty awesome.

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.

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.
