Dunmer or Bosmer? : V

» Sat Aug 13, 2011 9:55 am

We have seen the official http://portal.aecorp.in/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Skyrim-Dunmer-Thief.jpg and the alleged http://www.fohguild.org/forums/attachments/other-games/179223d1313173664-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-skyrim.jpg... So what do you guys think? Is it really a Bosmer, or was the demo player mistaken? Compare the two and discuss similarities and differances.

I think it is a Dunmer personally and that the demo player was mistaken. The skin color and facial structure is too close to http://videogamewriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gldsnt_dunmer.jpg than either http://www.google.com/imgres?q=oblivion+bosmer&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1680&bih=959&tbm=isch&tbnid=UxtTMs6NZpupPM:&imgrefurl=http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php%253Fid%253D23778&docid=RjnEIiIAkEAxWM&w=389&h=408&ei=a5ZFTsDEOsjZgQeUrZy3Bg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=636&vpy=266&dur=356&hovh=184&hovw=176&tx=111&ty=137&page=1&tbnh=157&tbnw=150&start=0&ndsp=41&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0 or http://www.google.com/imgres?q=morrowind+bosmer&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1680&bih=959&tbm=isch&tbnid=SWpTy7uXN86X-M:&imgrefurl=http://paladinsama.com/comtysrv/blogs/paladinsamablog/archive/2008/01/13/my-first-post-for-2008.aspx&docid=HVtWX62wBivhnM&w=470&h=435&ei=ipZFTteWJZDfgQfv-cCiBg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=143&page=1&tbnh=151&tbnw=181&start=0&ndsp=40&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0&tx=92&ty=67.

It did look Dunmerish, but i'm gonna take his word on it was a Bosmer. It's skin was a lot lighter than the dunmer fyi.

It isn't a Dunmer. It is a Bosmer. I think they guy would know what race he spent time customizing.

It's been confirmed by the creator to be a Bosmer, but he also acknowledged that it looked like a Dunmer.

Although he may share some similarities with the dunmer he obviously isn't one.

His skin is pale and slightly pink, and the dunmer's skin is light grey with a tint of green. I'm guessing that his arm has a different color because of body paint or something.
Also, the bosmer in the picture doesn't have red eyes like a dunmer, he has orange eyes.

How do you figure? Perhaps the camera is lower to the ground.

If he says it's a Bosmer, then it probably is. They look cool. Still hate 'em though.

I believe it's a Bosmer, going from ear shape. It shares the same ears as this http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6124/6035520155_decb25caf1_b.jpg. Whereas the Dunmer has a much more curved ear shape.

Could just be me looking into too much but I don't think that ears will be customizable, I could be wrong though.

It’s hard to tell by looking at it, but the sword is imbued with fire properties and has a chance on hit to light anything I strike on fire and subsequently cause burning damage

Nice!!!!!!

He can't be a Bosmer, since when do Bosmer have red/ orange eyes?

edit: just saw the other Bosmer screenshot, he has red eyes too, so that's probably their new look.

BOSMEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

If it is a dunmer, then it's the whitest dunmer I've ever seen.

And dark elves and wood elves look similar because, surprisingly, they're both elves.

But I'm pretty sure Bosmers are still a head shorter...

Its name is diketiks... its definitely a bosmer
Badum-tish

"So, whaddaya think? He’s a Bosmer (although he looks Dunmer) and his name… is diketiks."

Why is there even a discussion on this? The original source (Ripten) confirmed it was a Bosmer:

Here's another Bosmer from GameTrailers: http://i.imgur.com/yHIeE.jpg

The character creation can vary greatly!

It looks like body paint.

Because short characters cannot have such a huge upper-body mass .
