You don't need top Hollywood actors or anyone like that, you need professional voice actors like Jim Cummings, Jim Ward, James Hong, Fred Tatasciore, Hank Azaria and the late-great Mel Blanc. People who have had plenty of expereince voicing characters, people like Jim Cummings have voiced so many different characters, characters that have very different voices mind you, that you don't even realise it's the same actor.Stu35 said:
Jim Cummings has done the voice for Winnie the Pooh, The Master in Fallout 1 and Ed in The Lion King...what do these character voices have in common?
Nothing, because Jim Cummings can do multiple voices without you even realising.
Wow I had no idea there were that many other argonian lovers 
<3 <3 <3 I think argonians and red guards look awesome and I'm really glad they made wood elves look more badass I love being an archer so a cool looking wood elf class is a great thing!

I really like the look of all of them (except for the new orc). I love the snow leopard Kahjiit. And the argonians look borderline Dragon like. The bosmer actually look like elves now (thank god)and the dunmer seem to have fully taken their angry, spiteful personalities to visible level. Hooray! I'm so excited for this game!
Updated the thread with a picture of a FEMALE Redguard people! And a new Orc picture too.
If he can voice a harmless bear-thing (pooh) and a scientist fused with a computer and a virus- mutagen thing without me noticing similarities, I'd say that he is a god voice actor.ChupathingyX said:
I'm curious in what way Bretons differ visually from Nords/Imperials in Oblivion, let alone Skyrim.
I once had someone say "Hello fellow Breton" to me and I was like "which one of you generic white people said that?"
My choice in Oblivion was based on not liking any of the models no matter how much I tinkered with them. Aside from Breton female which only required a few changes to please me, they all looked off to me.
I could never get an Altmer's head to not look like someone put spock ears on a 60 year old chinese woman whose head was squished vertically in a vise.
Argonians had awesome racial abilities with the water breathing and poison immunity/disease resistance, but I just couldn't make one I liked.
So I got a character I liked that also happened to have bonus magicka, 50% resist magic, and Dragon Skin (which I never even use). If only I could find a damn mundane ring...
Its a 1st person game but I'm glad that unlike Fallout games you don't need to look like shit.
Since getting more magicka seems to be easier in Skyrim (an option at lv up) I probably won't feel the need to prioritize all my toon options just to get a workable amount of it.
My character specialized in magic and hand to hand because of the zero repair cost, never being disarmed, not fiddling with poisons, and shield enchantments. Plus knocking mofos out is always fun. You can even punch ghosts eventually. Even so I also liked using bows and stealth, but you can only spam sneak attacks on the same jerk while he stands there before you just wanna shoot lightning at him.
I am loving that you won't be crafting spells this time, and hope that you won't be able to be perma chameleon this time. I only ever used that to avoid having to fight lvl 30 goblin shamans/warlords because no one should have to do that. One absorbs most spells and does nothing but flee and spam heal itself, the other has like 1200 hp and spells do jack to it Q_Q.
Kahjiit look great in Skyrim though.

OP: Like I needed another reason to roll my usual Argonian assassin/thief. The Argonians look fantastic.
None yet to my knowledge. Maybe one of the old screenshots? Bretons aren't that visually interesting, which is probably why no reviewer chose to play as one. There are more screens to be revealed though:Patrick_and_the_ricks said:
Ausgamers (NORD)
Gamespot (ORC WITH YELLOW FACE PAINT)
Gamespy (AUTHOR DOESN'T SPECIFY)
Gamesradar (ARGONIAN WITH HORNS)
Gamepro.de (IMPERIAL - "Sleek hair, beard, cool, a little war paint around the eyes and a scar on the cheek")
FZ.se (NORD - blonde barbarian)
XPlay (FEMALE ARGONIAN; "lizard lady with a cute tail")
Possibly more pending from London and Gamescom hands on previews:
Pete Hines Aug 15: "Last day of Skyrim hands-on in London. Chars being played today: two Khajiit, a Nord, an Argonian, and a Dark Elf (all males)."
Hope that the Gamespy guy played a Breton.
In the old pictures, the male Imperial is actually a Red Guard, but the second one is Imperial.
Also, I think the High Elves are actually Dark Elves.
No Bretons, or how about a new race?

Updated the thread with a new image of an Argonian.
Doesn't look like a Redguard to me. I'll just leave it as it is because there was no confirmation of anything.HappyCastor said:
What?
I wish people would read the thread sometimes, these are screenshots of characters the reviewers and journalists made. No new race is possible since these are the only normal ones. Plus, these are the only ones that fit in the setting, Akaviri races suddenly appearing in Skyrim wouldn't make much sense.
