I'm sorry but the Dovakhiin's (spelling?) arm looks absolutely horrible, I won't be able to cast spells looking at that thing.

solution: don't cast any spells

I'm not worried about it.

Throw on a robe, buy some gloves.

Another problem solved. I am off!

Zoom zoom zoom!

this forum just seeks things out to complain about :sadvaultboy:

i wouldn't worry about it too much. remember that image is a still image from a video. lots of times stills taken from video look distorted. for a real life example: http://www.chrisoleary.com/projects/baseball/pitching/Images/Examples/Example_ReversePitchingForearmBounce_BillyWagner_2006_002.jpg

:unsure2:

:cold: :bolt:

Actually didn't look bad to me. When I hold my arm out in front of me in that position, it looks about the same. Not perfect, but I think the angle has something to do with it.

I don't know what you mean, my arm looks like that...
:tes:

Yeah it's distorted.

However, vsions said (commenting this very specific arm issue in that image I think) that the game is in development and many things are being fixed or made better. He said that we shouldn't worry about it.

I think it's therefore safe to assume that the arm has been improved since that image

If that's distorted I want to see normal.

Deja vu??

Prolly just me cause I remember being on BF3 forums discussing this very same topic when fault line came out....


Then I don't care

Now I really don't care

That was one of the very first Screen Shots of the game, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Well, it is filled with fans, after all. And what are fans, but the people who hate a product more than anyone else?

dont worry man
ill make sure no store ever sells you a copy!
then you wont have to worry bout seeing that horrible, game ruining arm
youre welcome!

Yeah, I have noticed that myself. The hand looks awesome but the arm looks very deformed!!! :confused:

ah ha, that's funny because its true. i mean seriously, i see topics of "fans" whining about every little thing they dont like, instead of focusing on the fact that its a new game, they are trying out new things, hopefully they will change things that didnt work well and hopefully they will change things that dont work well in Skyrim too. They can't conform the game to fit everyones definition of a perfect game so they try and get as many people as possible and to get the great games they make to us as soon as possible. just chill. dont bash the game until you see it and try it and if you hate it then either wait for the next one to see if they change it or find another game producer who makes games how you like it.

As for the distorted arm, that looks to me like a pretty normal arm, maybe the edges are a bit sharp but other than that seems to be normal.

lmao....that is an awesome example!!! Maybe that was Special Olympics?

I love how the fan boys come out from underneath their rocks when somebody finds something they feel may not look right or could be improved. The OP aint attacking Bethesda but merely showing something that is a bit of an eye sore. So, get off your knee's fan boys, pull your noses outta the dev. teams a$$es, and drop the bias just for a sec. or 2 and LOOK. If ya dont have something constructive to add to the thread then go to some other forum and troll there! :toughninja:

This is almost as bad as that one thread where the OP talked about how they thought the the fingers were bending un naturally... :shakehead:

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what you're complaining about. Arm looks fine.

I agree with the robe sentiment. As a spellcaster I almost always wear robes in-game.

Also, as a joke response, maybe that particular Dovakhin partakes in blood magic and has to use some of his own blood to cast spells. By breaking his arm he breaks just enough blood vessels inside his arm to gain the energy to cast magic, without spilling it all over the ground. Leaves a hell of a bruise but at least there's no evidence left behind.

Didn't you know? The camera is located inside the player's chest.

+1 for use of a Met player :shakehead: :foodndrink:
