Correct, which likely explains why the Orc looks like a doofus.Simo said:Screens look awesome!
I take it these are all each respective media outlet's characters they created during their time with the demo at Quakecon?
Also HALT! HALT! HALT!Lucius86 said:Looks so so good.
I really hope they include the line 'Stop Right There Criminal Scum!' for the fans.
You like weapons looking like lubricated condoms?bengraven said:I just hate how fucking dull everything looks. Mostly the gear and the weapons.
Put some shiny on those weapons!
Put some bump mapping on that gear! It's painfully obvious that metal stud is 2D, what is this 2003?
Highlaw said:Which metal stud btw?
thefil said:I'm continually amazed by what people can find visually unappealing. I think these look amazing. *goes back to playing Morrowind with no graphics mods*
GhaleonEB said:I'm digging the different environments they're setting each character screen in. Every one that rolls out I think, yeah, I'd like to go exploring there.

They are all 360 screenshots, worry not.Alextended said:I don't know why but some of the characters look really bad to me, texture wise. Not the resolution, that's a given, I mean the art. I don't know. Too much contrast/sharpness and too many things that should be done with geometry or at least bumps/normals are just textured in flatly? Something. Some environments are great though.

Yep. Wood Elf thief is the only way to play.DodgeAnon said:I'm being Wood Elf.
As I'm going to be a thief, and they 'fit' in well. Especially when the Dark brotherhood is in it. AGAIN!

Blue Ninja said:There's ten races already. The lore doesn't allow for any new ones, and I'm glad.
Who?Drazgul said:Plus the five akaviri races (beast races all of them IIRC), and daedra & aedra if you want to count them. As well as the many now-extinct races if you wanna really start nitpicking.

UESPWiki said:The continent of Akavir, also known as "Dragon Land", is a landmass east of Tamriel. The two continents have a history of animosity towards each other, with Akavir invading Tamriel several times in the past and Tamriel invading Akavir at least once.[1] Much of what is known about it in Tamriel is acknowledged to be incomplete or inaccurate.[2]
UESPWiki said:Kamal is translated as "Snow Hell", and many armies of demons call it their home. Every summer they thaw out and attempt to invade Tang Mo, but are always driven back by the courageous monkey-folk who live there. Once Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal, a king among the demons, tried to invade and conquer Morrowind, but was destroyed by Almalexia and the Underking at Red Mountain.[3][4]
Tsaesci is translated as "Snake Palace", and was once the strongest kingdom in Akavir. It is home to the Vampire Snake people who ate the men of Akavir long ago. They are described as beautiful, with golden scales, a human upper body and a snake like lower body. The goblin tribes of Akavir are their source of food and labor. Potentate Versidue-Shaie was a Tsaesci who ruled Tamriel in the previous era for 400 years before being assassinated by the Morag Tong.[3]
Tang Mo is translated as "The Thousand Monkey Isles". It is inhabited by many breeds of monkeys who are described as kind and brave. The other nations of Akavir have tried to enslave them at some point, but the monkeys can make armies if they must. They are apparently allies of the tiger people of Ka Po' Tun.[3]
Ka Po' Tun is translated as the "Tiger-Dragon Empire". The inhabitants are a cat-like people and are ruled by the great ruler Tosh Raka, a tiger dragon. They are the greatest empire in Akavir, but are not skilled at fighting at sea. After the Serpent people ate the men, they tried to eat the dragons. They managed to make the red dragons slaves, but the black dragons fled to Po Tun. A great battle was fought, and it left both the cats and the snakes weak, and the dragons extinct. Since then, the cats have always tried to become dragons. Tosh Raka is the first and only so far to have accomplished this. Covered in orange and black scales, he is the largest dragon on Nirn, and it's believed that his eventual goal is to invade Tamriel.[3]

Why have I never heard of all these continents until now? Is there a world map?Other lands are known to exist, though they have never been seen in games. They include:
Akavir, an often hostile continent to the east of Tamriel.
Aldmeris, a fabled continent from which the Aldmer came to Tamriel.
Atmora, a frigid continent to the north, home to the ancestors of the Nords.
Cathnoquey, a region of land that lies between Tamriel and Akavir.
Esroniet, a small island kingdom that lies between Tamriel and Akavir.
Pyandonea, a continent to the far southwest of Tamriel, home to the Maormer.
Roscrea, a region of land that lies between Tamriel and Atmora.
Thras, an archipelago to the southwest of Tamriel, home of the Sload.
Yneslea, a region of land that lies between Tamriel and Akavir.
Yokuda, a ruined collection of islands blasted by a cataclysm to the west of Tamriel, original home of the Redguards.
There's the Ka'Po'Tun, tiger people whose leader, Tosh Raka, succeeded in becoming the first dragon. There was a bit of speculation that the dragon invasion would be an Akaviri invasion, even, but that was debunked when it was revealed Alduin was the big bad.Billychu said:Who?
Some have been referenced in the games, others haven't. Only Akavir has had a real influence on recent Tamrielic culture: the Blades in Oblivion wore Akaviri-made armor and weapons, for instance.Billychu said:Why have I never heard of all these continents until now? Is there a world map?
