Evilllamas Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I really like my dark elf...Looks like how I imagined Kengas Khan to look (before I discovered he was 5.6 and very Asian looking)I also quite like the wood elf look... don't look like the pretty boys they did before!

Lehcar Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Well my OB wood elves werent "pretty boys", some of them were kind of overly "cute" looking, especially cause they're so short, but my personal Wood Elfs was a stoic looking rogue. Cause he was extremely rogue-ish like all wood elfs are. What can be wrong with that? Edited November 20, 2011 by Lehcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necKros Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 this is a game, they're elves and this aint no beauty contest But elves are not supposed to look like Star Trek actors with plastic makeup... Yeah, I dig. This is my altmer girl currently. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w225/Labelissa/ScreenShot15.jpg She's not looking too bad, but really, that's as far as you can go with elves. Here's a random elf. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w225/Labelissa/ScreenShot50.jpg For some reason they always show up weird shapes over the brows, weird mouths and shallow cheeks.

Snowsong Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have to admit I like "pretty" elves. I think the elves in the game are ugly, too, so I only play as human. I'd love to play a high elf (is that what they're called?) except they are so ugly I couldn't stand to look at myself. I appreciate that Bethesda was trying to make the elves look different from humans, though. I can't stand to look at female orcs, either, but the male orcs look cool.

Adrius2 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Skyrim elves are awesome, I applaud Beth for making elves more than just humans with pointy ears and funny hairstyles. They look actually distinct now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handofbane Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I am not really fond of the new elves, either, though with some creativity I did get a bit of a laugh being able to pull off a Rob Zombie look-alike with the Dunmer settings (the right hairstyle makes up for the forehead problems).

TheVampireDante Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 If you actually think back to orginal Morrowind Elves (at least the Dunmer) - quite a lot of them had that pronounced brow ridge. they didn't change them in Skyrim, they changed them back.

Rebelicious Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think that, for once, elves actually look and feel like I always wanted elves to look in TES. For once, they hit the mark.Whether that mark is good or not, is of course debatable. But personally, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
