Lehcar Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Well lets see... the humans are perfectly fine, save for some weird odds and wrinkles, which were easily fixed with Gimps' blur tool. Argonians are awesome, though I'm disappointed that the females still have breasts when they really shouldn't. Khajiits look cool. Now our favourite kitties can have some individual variation! Yay! Orcs are awesome as well. No longer look like the lime green clay I made for a history class project, now they look like some ludicrously sexy beasts!:wub: Elves, however... Bethesda made a big blunder here. Dear God, they've made elves so ugly it's unreal. I think the way they looked in Arena/Daggerfall/Morrowind/Oblivion was perfectly fine. Why the heck did they have to go and make them look like Klingons? Seriously, those rubber forehead aliens ceased to be attractive or even remotely likeable back in the 1980's. I'm upset. In Oblivion elven men were smoking hawt... now... well... it's the opposite. Thankfully some talented modders fixed the issue with the wrinkles and plastic foreheads, but they still look pretty homely. I pray they release the CK soon. I need to fix this so bad. :( Edited November 20, 2011 by Lehcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceNathan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 This is the only reason I don't play elves, even if I do like archers, I would sooner play human. Although having said that, there are some really natural looking elves about. It just takes a while to edit them in the creator. There is one during the loading screens, an assassin, he looks really cool, if you know which one I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarefootWarrior Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I'll give this one a shot. I have a particular fondness for Elves, and I have to agree that the Elves in this game are terrible. But, to be fair, I think it probably is a situation of each of us having their own 'vision' of what an Elf should look like perhaps? For myself, I didn't care for the Elves in Oblivion, but they did look better then the Elves in this game. My 'perception' of an Elf or Elves was in DA:Origins, I can use Zevran as an example. I loved playing as an Elf in this game. But, they changed the Elves in DA2 and they were terrible. I think it does come down to a personal choice as to how Elves are supposed to look. But, to the point, I do agree with you where the Elves in this game are concerned. I'm just sayin....LOL! :biggrin: oh...and my profile pic kinda shows ya what I mean...my Elf warrior from DA Origins.

Jackal2233 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yeah I don't like the elves much in this game, reminds me of what DA2 did with their elves. The Khajiits though, hell they definitely look awesome now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necKros Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 As an altmer player... I have to say that I sort of appreciate the "alien" look, but from the first moment I got the feeling that they went too far with it. Black eyes is an example, but the whole face mesh looks wrong from my point of view. Also waiting to be able to work on that matter :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jntk Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well, at least its a different look from Orlando Bloom in a blonde wig. But aye, i'm not one for the Klingon-Like forehead ridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 They look like the result of a Klingon/Vulcan cross breeding programme, I'm going to wait for the CK before I play as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehcar Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Oh goodness, the eyes too! Thank you for mentioning that... I'm still not sure what on Nirn that is all about. Why do the elves have such ridiculously weird eyes? I thought there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with them having human-y eyes. In fact I think Altmer and Bosmer looked just beautiful in Oblivion with "Elaborate Eyes". I miss you Garahel (my Oblivion wood elf dude)..

jesusismyairbag Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 this is a game, they're elves and this aint no beauty contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stars2heaven Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well they aren't going to be winning any beauty contests, but I don't think Beth "ruined" the elves. I appreciate the fact that you can't possibly mistake an elf for a human in this game, atleast. I also think it rather fits the high elves...as haughty as they are it is a great fit. The wood elves and dark elves could use a different look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
