InuyashaFE Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 What graphics setting do you use, necKros?Ultra with some .ini fixings :) Gotta take advantage of that 590 p: Looks great, I hope my computer can run Ultra once it gets here. :psyduck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismgtis Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 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. :( I don't see much difference between Elves in Skyrim than what was in Morrowind and Oblivion really. So, either you're new to ES or?

imperialforce Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm with the "Elves are better now" camp, as someone else mentioned, they appear to be a good 3D version of how Elves looked in Morrowind. I've never understood why people find "humans with pointy ears and effeminate hair" so appealing as a concept, but then I've never understood why people mod their character's appearance to the extent they look like a ludicrously big-boobed anime character either.

Reddimus Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Elves' heads look squished in Skyrim. I don't think it's a matter of people necessarily wanting humans with pointy ears, but a 'that just looks wrong' kind of thing as in anatomical carwreck.

RomeoJGuy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This thread makes no sense. Elves look fine.... For instance my Bosmer Dark Brotherhood assassin has no klingon forhead, bags under eyes etc and his face is not squished, it is pretty long. I'd rather it not be "why the long face"/horse syndromey anyways http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/648745786662385483/3B6DBD27E9BAED669450E4C63B7D7B43184407AA/ http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/648745786662383969/6D65777B3B4FBA8FD5742F6C482A9D7D529A2FB5/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoreai Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I agree that beth has gone for a distinctive look on the elves wich is a good thing but tbh when i wanted to create an elf i wasnt able to get past that look....while i dont mind them having different shapes, their design really invokes a feeling of aliens in me.

Valamyr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm not totally pleased with the art direction for elves either. But remember they used to look like this: http://videogamewriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/23853-1-1239938773.jpg Compare that to what your Oblivion elves looked like after a few mods and surely we can agree the Skyrim elves are salvageable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 though I'm disappointed that the females still have breasts when they really shouldn't.Why shouldn't they? They did in DF, MW, Ob and Skyrim. Your personal opinion conflicts with Lore. I'm not totally pleased with the art direction for elves either.

Though I have to admit I would have liked some more atention on the head and chargen. But yeah your point is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightsong Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I agree that elves are ugly. For my thief/assassin character I couldn't bring myself to chose an elven character... They seriously look like crackheads... Maybe they've been dipping into the skooma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushkatu Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I don't totaly agree with the OP, I mean dark elfs have that cool look they had back in Morrowind, wich is more than fine as far as I'm concerned. High elfs look strange and the other elf species, well I don't realy care about them. Bosmers are supposed to look stupid, at least I like them to look like that (heheheh :devil:), anyway they are more diversed than in Oblivion.
