Kinda makes a joke about all the "darker Redguard" mods, doesn't it.Apparently Hammerfell is the West Indies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hammerfell always struck me as more of an Arabian setting given some of the concept artwork that's been shown before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmoor Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Too many people in the forum seriously suggesting the beasts have no tails because no screenshots have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallen68 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Of course Argonians and Khajiit have tailes, otherwise they wouldn't "be" Argonoins and Khajiit!@ Samson- Would you like to see my impression of a Khajiit?

Dwip Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I kind of prefer the old Morrowind blue-green ones, to be honest - these new ones are slightly bland. They also look like they're going to stab me in the face, but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hopefully the argonians will have changeable skin color, for that matter, like in Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hana Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Keep in mind, the pics coming out now are basically from people who have played the demo at QuakeCon, so their version of chargen. We have no idea at this point how wide a variety of colours/tones/hair etc will be.(Now every time I come here I wonder where Arthmoor is... just not getting used to the new av ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I think the variety is going to be quite wide based on some of the descriptions. Especially where they mentioned orcs with wild yellow face paint. We've already seen a huge spread just in the two Bosmer shots. The Khajiit shots are as diverse as you can get. So I don't doubt that the Argonians will have quite a bit more going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Kaira Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Bosmer take two (Too masculine, preferred the slightly androgynous look)Dunmer take two (No criticisms for me)Redguard take two (outside the castle of Rohan Whiterun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 That second Redguard looks awfully similar to Sten from Dragon Age, at least in skin tone. Most interesting. I guess Bethesda plans to let skin tones vary widely for all races, although the two Argonians don't demonstrate this well.On the issue of Argonian boobs, you're aware that Morrowind is the odd man out here? They've had boobs since Arena. Lore strongly suggests they're not actually reptiles even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettyfly Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I'm happy with the looks on the character models. Gritty, strongly themed. They look a lot more realistic than character models from Oblivion but at the same time seem to be much more at place in the TES universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndalayBay Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 All the characters I've seen so far have major testosterone issues :grinning: One hopes that it's just the guys that created these characters for the purposes of showing them off to the public.

prettyfly Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ooh, reading a fight on the 'Unofficial "Will my PC run Skyrim" thread #11' about a) whether or not Skyrim will make use of quad cores B) whether or not Fallout 3/NV made use of quad cores.Logically, I can only conclude the guy arguing 'no' on both of those points simple never played Fallout 3/NV on a quad core PC.

Dallen68 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 For some reason, I don't mind Oblivions' rendering of faces/bodies...granted, it could be better (and is if you use certain mods). Why does everything have to be doom and gloom? I will reserve judgement on Skyrim's until I've at least seen it (I mean being played on a computer I can touch, preferably mine). For all we know, in those pics/clips we're looking at level 20 chars...so our level 1 char may indeed look like "Joe Blow". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it did have some fairly decent multi-core support, especially compared to the dreck that was Oblivion's single core only restriction.
