elves look BADASS! in TES5 if you don,t like it you can wait till a mod fixes it or fix it yourself.
High elves and wood elves in particular can look stunningly gorgeous if you invest the time in the face generator and you're really into that sort of thing.. I don't know what you're talking about with the bug eyes, the big problem I've had is that most of the altmer eyes in particular are too narrow.Elamdri said:I would like to point out that I think the two biggest problems with the elf models are 1: The ridiculous anime bug eyes and 2: The incredibly pronounced brows that they have, I mean, they jut out so far from their heads you could land a Cessna on them.
I think they wanted elves in the TES series to be more than just "Human with pointy ears who lives really long".Elamdri said:What the hell was Bethesda thinking? The elves in Skyrim look absolutely HIDEOUS. I mean, they look like something you'd see out of Aliens. I feel like the Khajit and the Argonians feel more human than the elves do! It's become very off-putting.
I can't figure out what's worse. That someone designed them in the first place thinking that they would be aesthetically pleasing, or that someone didn't tell the person who created them that they're an absolute failure and put them in the final release.
EDIT:
I would like to point out that I think the two biggest problems with the elf models are 1: The ridiculous anime bug eyes and 2: The incredibly pronounced brows that they have, I mean, they jut out so far from their heads you could land a Cessna on them. Their skull structure looks like David Boreanaz and Cro-Magnon Man had a baby.
Also, since people keep bringing this up as well: Yes, the elves looked WORSE in Oblivion. That doesn't mean that they look GOOD in Skyrim.
By the way, people keep using this image and I just want to comment:
^That guy looks like he belongs in a DYNASTY WARRIORS game, not TES.
By TES lore, all the mer people were descended from gods whereas humans were created by gods.Bato said:I know it's late in he thread doubt this'll get seen but like..
Okay they don't look like humans. But do you know why? Because they're not humans.
Also the Orcs and Dwarves are elves. The Falmer too. Any sort of -mer are a deviation of the elven bloodline somewhere along the line.
I do watch Top Gear. Watching Top Gear doesn't come with the necessity to agree with all of the opinions expressed by Jeremy Clarkson (because let's be honest, his opinions tend to be most popular of the three) and to be honest, I don't.Elamdri said:I can fix that. Start watching Top Gear. You'll learn what a beautiful car looks like.StBishop said:I don't think Scion XB's are ugly.Elamdri said:I dunno, I find my own catharsis to be personally constructive and fulfilling. It's also nice to know that the internet, as usually, is collectively wrong (<NOTE: SARCASM). Also, nothing written on an internet forum, anywhere, ever, in the history of time, has been constructive, so pointing out that something ISN'T constructive is like pointing out that that a Scion XB is ugly. It's a given.
Clarkson is a fat git. I usually find myself agreeing with May most of the time.StBishop said:I do watch Top Gear.

I'm partial to Aston Martin myself.StBishop said:I don't think they're beautiful by any means, however I don't think they're ugly. I think an ugly car would be a 90's VW Golf, or a Skoda S-Car-Go, or a 90's Ford Falcon (They were ugly), or a number of other cars.
Then again I think Range Rovers look good. I also think that the Lamborghini Miura looks amazing. So yeah.
I can't say I think he's a git, that'd be a lie. But I will admit, I tend to agree more with May about, well, almost everything.Elamdri said:Clarkson is a fat git. I usually find myself agreeing with May most of the time.
Can't say I blame you.I'm partial to Aston Martin myself.
Nailed it. In fact, rarely do I find that any of the Skyrim races look "aesthetically pleasing..." They look REAL. Like the kind of people who would have to live in this kind of setting, and put up with the danger and hardships and... weather. They look like they have character!lacktheknack said:http://theelderscrollsskyrim.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/altmer.png
...I'm gonna go ahead and call that an improvement. Maybe the elves aren't SUPPOSED to be pretty.
...In fact, I'm gonna go with that. Who says all races have to fit a traditional version of "aesthetically pleasing"?
