First glimpse of high elf? : V

» Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:31 am

So if you pause the official trailer at 1:32 on the scene where someone is being assassinated from behind in the bar, you can see a woman sitting in the background with suspiciously golden skin and narrow face. Methinks she is a high elf.

Thoughts?

P.S. The NPC next to her is playing a LUTE !! (Or some other stringed instrument) :foodndrink:

Going to go check it out
*time passes*
hmmm, she could also possibly be an orc... if orcs don't all generally have those round faces in Skyrim. Yes, either an orc or an altmer.
The man playing the lute looks like he could be a Breton.

Oh here we go again....the age old argument(well not really...more like a two week old argument)...but anyway, as I was saying...the age old argument; is it an orc or is it an altmer?

Clean your screens people, increase your resolution, wipe your eyes and put on your glasses if need be, because that is quite clearly an Altmer.

I personally went in and enhanced the photo, and I personally think it's a troll. Notice the third eye? It really does have some elvish qualities though. In the lore, is it possible for an Altmer to breed with a troll? What would that relationship be like?

I really don't see how anyone can think that it is anything but an Altmer.

That was funny, if a bit on the Rick-Rolly side.

Orcs have green skin generally, but it may just be the glow of the fire. I would go with alter-troll with a hint of orc, to be safe.

That looks like a mutant Bruce Cambell

I wiped my screen. It's either an orc or an ugly and fairly orc-like altmer.

Thats a pretty blue altmer

Don't know which iamge you're looking at, but most of the ones I've seen are pretty low res and blurry.

I thought she was a Dunmer, personally.... :mellow:

That's exactly what the op said?

And old news is old. this was dissected almost two weeks ago.

If you look at her hands and legs they are white. However she does have pointed ears so she is definitely an elf. However her ugly and very gaunt features remind me of the vampire in Oblivion. So possible vampire?

Good thing we picked that up...the day the trailer came out.

» Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:47 pm

Her face is heavily distorted, a single screencap won't do justice.

I think this picture kinda explains a lot.

I was out of the country and without internet access when the trailer came out so i'm a little behind

Either way it got me excited

I know precisely what the Op said. My comment was intended for Frodo, and yes I know it was dissected two weeks ago...I was a part of that thread where a quarter of the posters in there were convinced it was an Orc. Now, good day to you Sir!! :stare:

*slams door and walks away*

I don't see the high elf in that picture

» Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:05 am

We've already discussed this, many times, and each time the general conclusion is that it's an Altmer.
How anyone gets Orc out of that is beyond me.

» Fri Aug 27, 2010 9:18 am

That's because he's on the train with everyone else.

Look at the pointed ears. Still whats your guys take on whether or not she is a vampire?
