That is definitely Masser. It's too big to be Secunda.

I love it! :celebration:

I'm glad they don't have that annoying purple and blue look to them, hopefully they keep grey in character creation.

to eliminate any confusion I was being sarcastic earlier

I mean the Dunmer looks more life like than any other TES game ever made

I like how the dunmer looks. Reminds me of Morrowind. Hes far more unique compared to other races than in Morrowind. Perhaps I'll play a dark elf instead of a breton after all. Also love the dagger grip but the dagger style tries to be too cool. Dont like spiky cartoony stuff. Hopefully the grip is in game too but the dagger styles are generally better. Face textures are also nice.

What I dont like are the rest of the textuers and the body. Textures in the body and the hair are terrible but hopefully thats because its a 360 screen and its better on PC and the body looks way too small compared to the head.

anyone figured what that thing on the wall is ??!!!!

Why is this useful? It's just the screenshot made uglier with obvious observations written all over it.

I don't know what the OP is saying about hoping to have red eyes. If you look close you can see his red eyes.

I have been reading all these comments about the screen shot. And man. You people whine to much. The Dunmer is a huge improvement over Oblivion. You guys are just never happy. I think it looks great imo. seriously qq. :brokencomputer:

I love looking at the comparison screens.

Just an off-topic note, but creating a topic continuation thread is not a competition. Now let's discuss how flipping awesome the Dunmer look!

I might actually consider playing a dunmer.

No i wont. They look cool but to quote that guy from starship troopers

"The only good Dunmer is a Dunmer"

He actually said that, seriously.

You mean... dead Dunmer?

Haven't you heard? Creating the topic continuation thread makes you automatically cool.

Now we only need to see a Breton and an Argonian.

ok so no one addressed the ealier question so I will, according to one of the journalists that got to play you can actually make one eye of the dark elf one color like red and the other like grey. I don't know how much further it goes or what races that extends to but he specifically mentioned the dark elf for this one.

I really can't wait to role-play a Dunmer battlemage...especially while playing in 3rd person view and dual-wielding fire balls!!!! I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the hands-on journalists character screens according to Gstaff's post that said we should have more "shortly after" the dunmer was released. I think that quote is in the first or second "Dunmer Thief Screenshot Released" thread.

sarcasm shouldnt be used on the internet like the greymarch it rarely ends well.

I'd say it's pretty good, for a Dunmer. I had expected the skin to be a bit darker, but it's not like every Dunmer needs to have the exact same skin tone, so maybe other Dunmer will have darker skin and aside from that, I don't think they could do that much to make Dunmer look better, I mean, the character is kind of ugly, but I think I agree it does look like he was designed to look ugly, rather than being ugly as a result of poor character design, and when you think about it, I guess it kind of makes sense, since Dunmer look the way they do because they were cursed by Azura, and why would you curse someone with good looks? Mind you, I still dislike Dunmer, and won't be playing as one, I don't see anything Bethesda can do with them in terms of visual design to change that, but even if I don't play as one, I still have to look at them when playing the game, so I still want them to look decent.

Although oddly enough, when I first saw the screenshot I was reminded of a Dwemer...

Though the textures on the armor are kind of not that great, but that's consistent with what we've seen so far, and hopefully these supposed high resolution textures the PC version apparently has will fix that, the hair isn't that good either, but once again it's consistent with what we've already seen, and I think it will take more than better textures to fix that. On the other hand, I do like the sky, definitely looks like an improvement over past games.

Now, since we've seen the Dunmer, can we see an Argonian already? It's not like people haven't been asking for that.



At first I didn't see that, but that's just because at first I couldn't see his eyes at all, at first I thought they were closed, but now I see they're just very narrow, and there does seem to be a bit of red showing through. Not sure why anyone would think Dunmer would not have red eyes anyway, since that has been an aspect of them that's consistent throughout the series.

lol


still anyone figured out what that thingy on the wall is

The thing that's on the paraqet thingy, to the upper right of that one banner?
