Character Screenshots : V - Skyrim

» Wed Aug 10, 2011 11:33 pm

I expect them to be released by January or February, at the soonest.

so we're gunna see argoinan, orc, nord, and what else???

Dunmer, Imperial and Khajiit too I think.

well, i dont find it a surprise that the majority of people are despicable evil-hearted beings who are incapable of accepting anything that threatens their blurred, delusional view of normality.

anyway, this is starting to drive the topic off the rails... so lets get back to the discussion.

i hope these screenshots come out within the week... it might not be likely, but we can hope.

i cant remember what all the characters were... atleast one argonian, someone made a nord, i think... pretty sure someone made a dunmer, as well.

thats all i can remember reading about. :shrug:

There's nothing wrong with the majority not finding anthropomorphic species physically unattractive. I agree that going on a weird crusade to emphasize that "normal" people would never find them attractive is disturbing though. This happened in the relationship topic too, but much worse. It makes me wonder if we ever make contact with aliens if the same bigotry that was targeted at interracial human marriages would come right back the moment any humans and aliens got together. Humans can be such disgustingly arbitrarily judgmental creatures.

Dunmer, Imperial and Khajiit too I think.

I think someone played as a Bosmer as well

More on topic than my other reply, the first thing I thought of when I saw this information was that we'll finally see an Argonian. I think the concept art looked fantastic so hopefully the in game one is just as good.

Has nobody noticed that in the gamesradar article that they say they equipped their Argonians racial ability to their favorites? Since when did my beloved lizard people have an equipable racial ability?

We all should keep an eye on Destructoid (They did Argonian) :stare:

Bah, Argonians are defunct. When they got rid of the spear, the functionally got rid of the Argonian. They look silly with anything else. However, the do look exceedingly awesome with a spear.

Because they were only useful at polishing them?

YOU GOT ME EXCITED

So I'm not the only one that feels that way ...
I haven't played an Argonian since Morrowind, and I won't in Skyrim either unless they add a spear DLC. It's just that nothing else really fits ...

It seems another previewer made an Argonian too:

Yeah, just ask M'aiq the liar...or the Mudcrab Merchant...or Uncle Crassius...

Thanks for the link, I just read the article and didn't realize that Argonians have a flamethrower-type spell for their racial ability...very interesting!

Great news!

A good bunch of character screenshots will make it easier to understand what option we'll have

Btw - did anyone of them make an Altmer? Just curious since it's my favorite race. I'm happy to see argonians at last to

I don't think that was a racial ability. everyone had it since they started off with a bunch of weapons, armors and magic just for the demo

Am I the only one who did not feel misled by the topic title? I guess I'm just so used to the very slow flow of new visual looks at the game that I didn't expect the topic to actually contain images.

As soon as I seen the Title I knew straight away that there were no pics, Usually when something new happens Its usually in All caps with !!!!!!!!'s everywhere

Patience!...
Todd's making them more awesome

Humans man, they're so racist and ignorant. There's nothing wrong with having relationships with Aliens or Aboriginals.

I feel like your being a little too optimistic. I think that they might be the big reveal for e3 2012.

» Wed Aug 10, 2011 9:56 pm

Too bad nobody picked a Breton. They're my 2nd most anticipated reveal after Argonians.

» Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:34 pm

And so where are they? There not in the thread, there not in the link, there not anywhere!

» Thu Aug 11, 2011 1:54 am

whaddya mean? they're sixy in every elder scrolls!

One word: Ocheeva.

:P

They haven't been released yet. They should arrive in a couple weeks. I know 2 outlets made an Argonian (Destructoid was one, I can't remember the other, Game Informer made a Khajiit, there's also an Orc, Dunmer, and a couple Nords out there. Nobody created a Breton, Bosmer, Altmer, or an Imperial that i'm aware of.

» Thu Aug 11, 2011 7:13 am

Neither is not being physically attracted to anime catgirls, except with lizard features instead of cat features even remotely evil-hearted or evil nor are anthro lizards or cats real. So much about that.

About the pictures being published ... in a few weeks? The game itself is being released in a few weeks, I really don't see why they are making such a secret out of everything.

I went through the list of articles to check which race each journalist picked, so we have an idea what to expect for the upcoming screenshots.

(some of them didn't mention their character's race)

Thanks Booty - so it seems we'll see every race except Altmer, Breton and Redguard, at the least.

*Detailed list of what journalists made what race in their demo play time.*

Man you're on top of things! I look forward to seeing what they all made!
