Some scans I found on elderscrolls.net:

Just wanted to say thanks!

Waking up in the morning and seeing a new screen of a Khajiit with a double flamethrower spell just made my day! :thumbsup:

 

EDIT:

Also, here's a screenshot of a Daedric sword. Looks absolutely gorgeous!

Wow, when I played as a mage in Oblivion it was either Khajiit or a Breton. I'm going with Khajiit in Skyrim!

 

That daedric sword looks awesome, too!

What is this? Is she a falmer?

Yup, that's definitely a Dunmer. If they have Falmer in Skyrim, I'm sure they wouldn't be able to find them until after release. :thumbsup:

although Falmer are sometimes seen as humanoid I believe bethesda has already said they are more like goblins .. they also said something about the lore in the world being wrong a lot since rumors are easily distorted in such a world .. plus they have been in the poratable TES game before and looked like goblins..

 

And heres a good blog post someone made ... http://midgetalien.blogspot.com/2011/09/falmer-in-skyrim.html

- ORCS: Beserker

- REDGUARDS: Adrenaline Rush,

- WOOD ELF: resist poison, resisit disease, command animals

- NORD: Battlecry

- KHAJIIT: night-eye, claw attacks

- IMPERIAL: Voice of the Emperor, find more coins when looting

- HIGH ELF: regenerate Magicka more quickly

- DARK ELF: Ancestor's Wrath (surround self in fire), resist fire

- BRETON: Dragonskin (absorb spells), resist shock

- ARGONIANS: Histskin (regenerate health quickly), resist disease 50%, breathe underwater

 

Weight slider is quite cool - not a massive effect on women, turns them from skinny to "slender but not skinny". Men can get massively buff.

 

So I went into the game and ran immediately out of the starting cave (a demo-specific area I think, I couldn't go anywhere else). First thing I noticed was beautiful music. Better than Oblivion's in my view. I checked the "game stats" screen for any sign of werewolf-related stats, and found nothing - but I also found no mention of vampires either, so that's not proof. I then went straight to the perk trees, and got as many as possible in my brief time (shorter than promised, because of queues).

 

- FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THAT RACES HAVE DIFFERENT STATS TO START WITH. The baseline stat seems to be 15, with +5 in some stats and even +10 in others. For example:

- Argonians start with 25 in Lockpicking, 20 in Pickpocketing, Sneak, Light Amour, Restoration, Alteration

- Orcs start with 25 in Heavy Armour, 20 in Enchanting, Smithing (didn't see any more)

- Bosmer start with 20s in most of the thieving skills - Sneak, Alchemy, Pickpocket, Lockpicking - and a 25 in Archery

Read about the falmer and I have a theory on how they could fit in skyrim game, if they still exist and were bannish by the nords long time ago what better time to try and reclaim their land when their enemy is in a civil war?These could be like in some point in the game you need to join the nords to fight the falmer.Now the dragons are not mindless beasts so they could be taking advantage of the falmer and making a falmer army to help them do whatever they are suppose to do XD I think it´s an interesting theory.

Thank you and kudos, good sir! That is indeed a mountain of info.

 

That said, I'm a bit underwhelmed by some of these perks. Lots of percentage damage/protection/mana cost perks in there...but Sneak sounds awesome! So does Destruction. It's hit or miss, in my opinion, but I'm excited nonetheless. :thumbsup:
