DEM FACES

Night and Day from Oblivion.

They need to put in a character that still looks like he's from Oblivion so everyone will run away in horror from him.

Here you go Blue Ninja, high res of Redguard:

 

[Luthos]

They all look so much better than Oblivion, obviously, but...

the Argonian is the one that really made me say wow.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

It's not just how much better the people look compared to Oblivion, but how much better they are than Fallout 3/New Vegas.

 

[FleckSplat]

I'm playing a Nord. How could I do anything different after the awesome announcement trailer?

 

[cory021]

I've got to remind myself to spend some extra time making my character. There is going to be so much more customization.

I'm really interested to see how the different species look like when they talk. Especially with the whole 'move around when you talk' feature.

 

[Shrennin]

It's not just how much better the people look compared to Oblivion, but how much better they are than Fallout 3/New Vegas.

Yep. I was pretty sure that the next Elder Scrolls (before we saw any information on Skyrim) was going to be only a little bit better graphically than New Vegas but man did Bethesda prove me wrong.

 

[JoeBoy101]

Looks great. I'm still going Orc Barbarian, but the Argonian and Redguard shots are giving me pause. Great face scars on the Red too.

 

[JambiBum]

The fan.

I hate him. He has died four separate times and keeps coming back.

 

[psykomyko]

I honestly expect it to be as poor as Oblivions. And, like that game, the Dark Brotherhood questline will be the game's saving grace.

Agreed. The same writer that wrote Oblivion's DB storyline is returning for this one too.

[Emitan]

I can't play Oblivion anymore. Not after seeing that. Holy shit.

 

[ironcreed]

A night and day difference might be putting it mildly.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Improvement is crazy. Actual art. It be glorious.

 

[JJDinomite]

Being in the middle of an Oblivion playthrough, the difference is simply amazing. Can't wait to play Skryim.

 

[Nezabyte]

Really loving the new graphics *drool* Can't wait to make my Argonian.

 

[ZeroRay]

For Oblivion, it seems like they made a computer randomize all the character designs.

It may be the same case for Skyrim but at least they upgraded the software ;p

 

[Zeliard]

Bethesda set the bar so low with character art in their previous games that there was no possible way to go but up.

 

[daedalius]

I'm trying to look at people in Oblivion as little as possible.

...and I thought the faces were bad in Fallout 3.

 

[Salsa]

Man, so tempted to get on release..


then i remember its gonna be full of bugs

 

[Jerykk]

Bethesda has slowly been getting better at faces. Everyone looked horrific in Morrowind and slightly less horrific in Oblivion, but they looked okay in Fallout 3 and look pretty good in Skyrim.

On a side note, whatever happened to High Elves? Were they a playable race in Oblivion?

 

[Gravijah]

"undocumented features", man. stop being such a downer!

...excuse me? The character art in Daggerfall and Morrowind were awesome

 

[ReaperXL7]

Not sure if this has already been asked already, lots of pages to go through, but I am wondering if there has been any information on the marriage system. I ask mainly because i'm curious as to if we can have intrracial relationships in the game like an Argonian with a Kahjit, or an Orc and a high elf, stuff like that. It would be interesting to see a lizard/cat baby.

Also if anyone has seen the character creator in action, i'm curious if anyone knows how detailed the body modification is, I'd like to know if I could make a jacked Argonian Warrior, or a malnourished orc. Almost none of the previews have talked about the body mod aspect and it's something i always wanted in the Elder scrolls games.

 

[Zeliard]

...excuse me? The character art in Daggerfall and Morrowind were awesome

I'm talking about their more recent games with 3D models. And concept art always looks cool with most games. How it ends up depicted in the game is what matters. The faces have particularly suffered in past games, looking like terrifying blobs of putty and made worse with poor animation.

 

[kokujin]

These are so much better than TESIV.Just look at that Argonian.

 

[Snuggles]

Come on man, bugs are part of the fun. Just quick save often and it's no big deal.

I couldn't imagine not buying this game at release.

Same here, it's worth it.Nothing can bring this game down.

 

[Sblargh]

There's ten races already. The lore doesn't allow for any new ones, and I'm glad.

Speaking of lore, I seem to remember dragon talking being a skill on Daggerfall, don't remember any dragons on there tho.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Where are the bloody colours? It's all brown!

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Where are the bloody colours? It's all brown!

Next gen biatch!

 

[kokujin]

Where are the bloody colours? It's all brown!

They will be available in the first set of DLC.You have to buy each primary color.

 

[Sblargh]

Well, Oblivion had a bad case of bloom, so I approve it being a bit darker this time around. I think there will be colors, like, on a bright day outside (tho the snow theme might tone even that down)

 

[Hulud]

Morrowind is probably the brownest game ever made and that game had incredible art/environments. Brown can look good, when it's appropriate. This more realistic look is far superior than the carnival-looking game that is Oblivion.

 

[RyanDG]

IIRC there was a quest where you had to go out and kill a dragonling I believe... It's been a while.

 

[Mdeezy]

My wallet is gonna get raped this fall/winter lol. Too many games

 

[Boss Doggie]

Stop quoting Dark Brotherhood as something good.

It was good, until it became boring right after

Spoiler

you killed every colorful character in your base

.

Personally I like the Thieves' Guild much more.

 

[PigSpeakers]

I stare directly at the text and nothing else when talking to people in Oblivion.

Looks like I won't have to do that as much in this game. They aren't necessarily the best thing ever, but they're much more pleasing to the eye than Oblivion's that's for sure.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also, they should make it so that the characters dont look like dead people when talking to them.

Have you not been keeping up with any of the information on that or any of the videos involving speech?

I would think that people would rather stare at my drawings than the faces in Oblivion, but maybe I'm the only one.

I've been avoiding videos actually.

You can just admit you want to marry a lusty argonian maid. No one will judge you or anything.

 

[yeildrikk]

These look astounding. There goes my summer...

lol, maybe......


No but i'm probably going to create a Roided out Argonian dragon warrior, and bang the cats. I guess the funny part is that i've never even been into the furry love, I just really want to see what the offspring of lizard and a cat would look like.

Probably like something from my nightmares.
