Awesome, thanks for the reply! My main concern was when I had heard that you were doing away with the sliders in favor of "pre-made" facial and body components. Doesn't that severely limit the amount of freedom and customization in favor or "better looking characters"? Not trying to sound negative hear, but I LOVE deep character creation systems. I usually spend hours creating just the perfect character (since I will be spending hundreds of hours with them). It is a major pet peeve of mine to play a game where everyone's character looks essentially the same with a few minor tweaks.

Thanks!

Are you sure that's a Dark Elf? I could have sworn I read somewhere that was a goblin.

If you have alot of presets available variety wont be a problem. Honestly, players will be able to create characters far more unique than any of our previous titles. On top of that they will look awesome. We have put in and continue to put in tons of work and time into it, alot of our own personal time as well. When you guys finally see what we are doing with it your innards will shoot out of your butts.... well probably not, but you guys AND gals will be very happy. :celebration:

Because the body models are the only (Only!) thing BioWare has done right in that game. - high resolution handsome male and attractive female models. Also, beautiful default face textures/models… Nothing else to see in that game.

Bethesda has already confirmed this in their first podcast. No more ugly faces.

Well, Merrill's body looks terrible in the romance scene, like, really terrible.
So terrible you won't believe it.

Curses! Why does E3 have to be so far away?

I meant,of course, protagonist models. Sorry. Companions had good faces in DA2, and all the rest were indeed low-resolution junk. Tbh, I really enjoyed personalities of companions in that game. Except Anders. They must have kept him as refined classy up-town boy with magic dropping off his fingers, as in DA:O, and not make a dirty revolutionary. But how they managed to [censored] up everything else, is unbelievable.

You will still be able to make freakish looking people. All character creators give you the ability to create freaks if you really wanted to, but our new setup makes it quite a bit more difficult and actually easy to make very cool looking ones and still get a lot of customizeability and very unique looking characters no matter what you are. You guys will be very happy, its really awesome

6 weeks isn't that long of a time.

I actually hope we can make some realistically ugly, scarred, fat/skinny, character.

Yes and especially the Khajiit must be sixy! Argonians are deadly sixy but Khajiit need some extra love.

One word: variety.

Like in real life.

I think that question's been answered by the trailer - the NPCs were looking pretty hawt in that, weren't they? The screenshots are looking pretty sweet.

what I really do not want is the ugly oblivion texture disasters... women with mustaches... and beard circles...

I wouldn't like playing an ugly, scarred, skinny and miserable hero of Skyrim fighting dragons. Might as well go for an anime pink hentai princess hero of Skyrim.

Why thank you Princess. We think you guys will be impressed.

Fallout 3's women weren't so bad with cloths on either, but the "nvde" models for both men and women looked awful. Putting white shirts on all of the guys and giving the girls undetailed bodies was pretty lame.

For the Bethesda version, look at how flat and bland her skin is! Her boobs seem a bit weird and they didn't even bother to give her toes! And yeah, the shoulders are awful too.

As long as Skyrim's women are faithful to human anatomy, I'll be fine with them. No muddy faces, no green lips on black people, no textureless skin, no toeless feet, etc. haha

Please, make sixy (in a good sense) and attractive male and female bodies. The game is 18+ and if you do something like BioWare did for the Dragon Age 2, there will be no need to make any nvde/better/alternative bodies. The modding will be based on the original models. We will all win. Thank you in advance!
