Wait, you're talking about that month old screenshot right? Because it's been confirmed by Vsions that he's a Nord.

Read post below me.

That's a Nord.

You should note that the gameplay demo at E3 features a full fight with a Redguard bandit.

I love you.

But are you sure that 1 guy is a redguard? Based on his facial features, he seems more of a Nord or Imperial to me.

The only redguard that we know for sure is the one talking to the bandit girl right before Todd kills 'em both with the bow.

Our "first look" at Redguards would have to be in the E3 gameplay demo. There was the Redguard bandit who was shot in the back, we couldn't really see him, and then there was http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/1118/redguard.png.

He's a Nord. Why do you think he's a redguard? He doesn't look African and it's been made pretty clear Redguards are supposed to resemble Africans. Caucasians are also capable of tanning.

Thats clearly not a redguard, even more so than the Tavern keeper people were saying was a rearguard.

One could argue that Redguards are actually more similar to Middle Easterns, especially considering their architecture.

Bigger lower lip, wider nose, dark brown skin. Definitely a Redguard. Remember, there is tons of customization going on. They all won't look the same.

Don't say "definitely" when he's been confirmed to be a Nord. He's "definitely" a Nord.

He's talking about the bandit that Todd fights with the dual swords in E3

Are talking about the pic with the guy with the mess up eye? Oh the dude from the video, hard to see that guy.

Yes, the bald guy is confirmed to be a Nord. I'm not talking about him.

Compare the features, this is definitely a Redguard.

Absolutely. My bad, I guess we weren't on the same page.

He is definitely a Redguard. If you listen close, you can hear the classic Redguard male voice making the grunts. Also, look at that hair. If that's Nord or Imperial hair and NOT Redguard hair, then I just don't know what to think about the races anymore.

Yeah, after a closer look he is definitely a Redguard. They look great

And who doesn't want dreads like that on their burly Nord? B)

I see from your later post that you thought I was talking about an image I was not. I was reffering to the Nord the OP referenced.

So Argonians and Bretons are the only ones we haven't seen at all? Argonians should be designed really well... it seems like Bethesda is saving showing them off.

I have to say, as a huge Redguard fan, I'm really pleased with how that Redguard in the demo looks. They were such an odd array of colors in Oblivion, kind of "pasty" in a more extreme way than the other races. I think they couldn't look more spot-on in Skyrim though, and I'm excited to play as one.

I'm almost considering changing my first character to be a Redguard instead of a Nord.

Almost.
