Kajhiit or Orc? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:39 am

For me Orcs. I don't like my character to be too hairy.

A Khajorc.

Khajiit's in OB didnt look so bad, orcs on the other hand looked like green pigs, huge improvement!

The Kaghiit looks like http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FnevKDbbUiI/S9WgBDT9raI/AAAAAAAAAxg/w3RlJeCN6co/s1600/469472-goodguy_large.jpeg&imgrefurl=http://angryhabsfan.blogspot.com/2010/04/small-soldiers.html&usg=__nk4penq8DqLg1yu_fq1X7-48DMs=&h=304&w=300&sz=15&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=W02KZhokuW1zYM:&tbnh=148&tbnw=147&ei=ffCxTaTDE4Wp8APZodCVDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Darcher%2Bsmall%2Bsoldiers%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D774%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=130&vpy=84&dur=1867&hovh=226&hovw=223&tx=109&ty=107&page=1&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0 out of Small Soldiers! ironically, he's holding a bow.

I think they both look greatly improved, but I think the Khajiit looks more improved.

Where's the option for "neither"??

I really thought it'd be difficult to improve the orc. I was really expecting some ugly Oblivion-esque savage, but I was very surprised by how human he looks. It's definitely a look that you can really set apart from Oblivion and Morrowind.

Khajiits haven't really improved that much since Morrowind; the fur is still flat and the only difference is body shape and texture quality.

In this case the body of the khajiit has drastically changed which is cool.

I like both, but I have to go with the Orc, it looks incredible. The Khajiit is possibly a bit too bulky?

I never even considered playing an Orc in Oblivion, they just looked a bit like Shrek. Cant quite put my finger on what is is exactly though, but it never felt like a realistic option to me. Looking at these images makes me really really want to play as a beast race. At first I loved the Khajit most, it looks awesomely sneaky, but the more I see the Orc the more I want to smash some ones head in.

Easily the Orc.

I mean, how could anybody play as an Orc in OB when they looked that ridiculous? Skyrim's look badass, I might actually play as one for my first character.

Which one from the screenshots is more appealing and over all has made a bigger improvement from Oblivion to Skyrim?

Link to the screens http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/116/1162158/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033047799.jpg http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/116/1162158/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033053299.jpg

Some lore for each for those that are curious. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Khajiit http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Orc

I would have to say the Orc. Everything about it is pure win. The Khajiit is still awesome mind you, but to me, it seems like they're trying to give them that 'house cat' feel again. It's face is so guant and weak looking compared to it's body. I do love the new fur and whiskers though.

Orc, because he's teh powerhouse. Although i prefer to be a Nord, less greenish-uglish

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:05 am

Orc
Orcs just looked so awful in Oblivion. Its a massive improvement

You got to be joking.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 8:05 am

The new character models are simply beautiful.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 3:03 pm

orcs eat cats

and womn, i hear :mohawk:

And Horses :yucky:

I voted for both. I think both are a big improvement. Though if I HAD to choose one I'd probably go Orc

I never played a Khajiit in Oblivion because they looked so ridiculous (Except on my glitch and dupe fun character).

Now I want to seriously play as one. They look great and could imagine them being the hunter character I'm planning to roleplay as.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:18 pm

I think they both look very much improved, and if I had to choose I will literally have no idea as to which one I should choose...

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 1:52 pm

Even though they both look great, I decided to answer OP's question by picking the Orc. I mean, just look at his everything.

» Tue Mar 29, 2011 10:50 pm

Orc.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:19 am

I am absolutely ecstatic about the new Orc design. I've always loved their lore in Elder Scrolls, and it's great to see their looks match that. Now if we can just give the Bosmer the same treatment everyone can be happy.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:29 pm

I will play a human race of some sort (as always) but I have to admit from the new screens both khajits and orcs look like something I would actually consider now. They always looked kind of silly in the other games

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:28 am

Compared to Oblivion everything looks absolutely amazing.

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:05 am

The Orcs have gotten their much needed makeover, it is a huge improvement from oblivion. I thought the Kajhiit looked alright in oblivion but look better now. I am most interested in seeing the female Orc and hope they did a good job with them as well.
