My impressions on the new Dunmer female!

Post » Thu Aug 18, 2011 11:43 pm

That's the second or third time someone has accused an average Dunmer as being a vampire.

Look at the Dunmer in Morrowind. They look pretty much exactly like that. They have sunken cheeks and dark red eyes and they look rugged. They're not vampires. I HIGHLY doubt anyone is going to find a vampire, get infected, sleep for three days, and have a screenshot taken after all within the 60 minutes they had to play the demo.

Again, that's just how Dunmer look.

Also, the vampires of Skyrim are far crazier than any vampires we've seen in the past games, so there's not even any guarantee we'll have the tradition style vampires in this one.

EDIT: Wow, no one else read the OP.


Obviously you did not read the entirety of my post or you would have read this "Now when I say this I'm not saying she literally is a vampire and vampires maybe confirmed." and not say this "That's the second or third time someone has accused an average Dunmer as being a vampire."

Would honestly not be certain that was a female if it didn't have briasts.

However, I understand these are made by people with a limited amount of time to play, I doubt they put a lot of that time into character creation. Kind of have to see another few Dunmer females to really tell if they're all going to be androgynous or not.

wow, nothing but complaints because the dunmer arent "sixy" runway models?

sorry that a race of CURSED people arent sixually attractive to you all. :rolleyes:

i think she looks AWESOME!

the dunmer are looking great in skyrim, definitely how they should look. :nod:

whether vampires are in or not, i highly doubt she is one... considering she's standing outside in the middle of the day.

I know why Bethesda keeps using the same armor, because they want to keep everything else under wraps.


actually, if this character is from a hands-on preview, one of the journalist's characters... she's probably just wearing the armor that journalist had available.

the journalists all started at low level, im sure... doubt they had access to any of the better armors... bethesda just puts the characters in a position they think looks cool for the character and takes the screenshot, i dont think they alter the characters' appearances or their combat choices.

so, bethesda isnt choosing the armors to show off, its just what the characters had on them when the journalists played.

She does basically look almost exactly like a Joss Whedon vampire. Buffy would attack her on sight.

Whether that's good or bad is personal taste, but I will find it a little strange if the dumner are the only elven race with vampire brows. It would be like one of the human races suddenly having Klingon foreheads.

It would make it seem as though dumner are not really elves at all, but some other unrelated species with a different biological origin.


Love this post, and mods just might do that!

QFT.

Elves are not attractive by human eyes already. Add in the curse and they're culture of warriors, and you don't get a very attractive lady.

Also, it was the JOURNALIST'S character. ONE character. It may be the ugliest dunmer. And I think she's only skinny because the journalist chose the skinny body type. Either way, I like the look of dunmer now, and may actually make one this time around.

Since the photo was taken from a demo play-through, I don't think the Dunmer is a vampire. If she was, I'm sure we would have heard about it at least a dozen times by now. I, for one, LOVE the new look! They're supposed to be cursed by a god and I think they truly look the part this time around. As far as I'm concerned, Bethesda has gotten everything right so far.. just waiting on the last few stragglers. :)


Never said she was a vampire. I said she had that transformed vampire demonic look.

The redguard woman didn't look so attractive either. I'm confident I can get a pretty Dunmer out of the character creator.

Pretty much every lore on Elves and Faery Folk have strongly insisted that they tend to be more beautiful than humans. Elder Scrolls lore has not diverged from this, except in the case of the Orsimer Orcs. You can be different without being ugly. Panthers are not human, but they are graceful and beautiful animals. Frogs are not human . .. and they are HIDEOUS!

The male Bosmer Rip Ten fits what one might expect of an Elf. His features distinguish him from any typical human, but they remain elegant and well proportioned, with good symmetry. The Dunmer's face is asymetrical, with an overly heavy brow. She looks, if anything, more earthy and human than the typical human, hearkening back more to Homo Sapiens Neanderthalis, rather than Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

I think they greatly improved the eyes, but yes she could look better. but it's probably on the person who created the character. The armor is the same with most of the screen shots because they gave the demo-ers a set inventory and they only had an hour to explore. I doubt they'd be too focused on getting new armor.

People seem to want generic anime elves.

I think she looks like a creature of the Ashlands. Very lore friendly, the Dunmer in Skyrim are looking great so far.

How can she be a vampire? She was played with for less than an hour.

I don't mind the fierce look, scars, etc. but the problem is her face is mannish, not just "ugly" or non-generic. The nose and mouth structure I think are what doe it, her eyes are fairly feminine.

OP isn't saying she IS a vampire. He/she is saying she resembles the vampire's demon transformation look from RL mythology.

I like her. She looks brutal, malicious, alien, and dark....like any other self-respecting dunmer maiden. I'd like to see some tribal tattoos and jewelry. Dunmer women are supposed to look very exotic and threatening.

I don't think she's that pretty to stare at, but I think it confirms the variation in the game will be good.
And the return of cursed eyes is nice to see! finally, I might be tempted to make a dunmer again. :celebration:
