Bandit OUTFIT?I hope theres not only outfit clothes like in Fallout 3/NV.

I was hoping for beast legs, is it me or does it look like he doesn't have completely human legs? I mean they aren't the beast legs from Morrowind, but they still kind of look different from human feet.

In any case, I still hope it is something we can get during customization.

Anyways, facepaint, halberd, I'm so [censored] excited!

Yeah, I said this before. You can see the boots bent slightly forward on his body and they stick out from the curve of his leg at the back. It certainly looks like partway down that bootleg, probably not too far, it changes to the foot, as in the long type that reptiles have.

I think most people are referring to the halberd at 1:41.

Oh...nevermind then... =)

I :hugs: 2h axes

My point exactly, that they might be lumped in with the other two-handers, not as a seperate weapon skill and type

Just like how axes were lumped in with "blunt" in Oblivion.

It does bode well for polearms to make a comeback.

Can someone post a screen grab of this "executioner" please.

Holy hells, I just now got a chance to take a closer look at the video & screencaps, this all looks absolutely tremendous.

That Argonian looks fantastic - his legs do look more bestial than a man's, to me, but it could just be his armour. If the game art has captured the more classic lizardman look of the concept art, I'm going to have to finally create a serious Argonian character. Can't wait to see what they've done with Khajiit now.

Scars & decals confirmed... that's excellent news.

Excitement level for Skyrim just went up to 10 11.

Argonians anyone?

Though that Argonian isn't very beast like ( am I wrong or does it have a bit of a more elongated head? ) he still looks awesome :icecream:

It's difficult to be sure (and it's concept art, not finished in-game model

), but there is something different about the legs. Although there's no raised heel (foot planted flat on the ground), the knee looks unusually high.

Oh well, time will tell, but I'm pretty sure the beast races will have standard humanoid skeletons. Hopefully their proportions will be tweaked to make them more distinctive.

I'm a little concerned with the 'Bandit Outfit' TBH. It reeks of 2-piece armor.

Whiffs more of "fantasy female skimpy" to me - The fabulous land where the more skin you show, the more your armour rating goes up. Or perhaps that bandit chick have the Mystical Cleavage Of Steel amulet. Who knows.

Alls I was saying is that the fact that since there is so much concept art about it (publicly accessible concept art I might add) the chance of them being in the game in some form looks good. My reasoning for that is it's likely they were commissioned to make some art with polearms in them, which would mean other parts of the team had thoughts to implement them. Plus, it would be silly of them to not realize revealing concept art of polearms would stir the pot a bit. I'm sure they don't want to disappoint.

In that case I'm inclined to agree with you, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

It does bode well for polearms to make a comeback.

Has the man flying back not dropped a spear? http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/8233/ss20110126190751.png

I like this one. my guess is, it is a Wraith or Volkihar(Skyrim vampire)

Edit: The Argonian looks great! Seems to me their legs are not completely human. I'm glad they didn't go with the Morrowind legs, they were terrible.

Okay, I think I've figured out the writing.

Riften Fishery
Processing Area
Smokers
Hatchery
advlt Pond
Getting.... trackers? Traders? Something like that.

Also, High Hrothgar in the background looks like. Or else Skyrim just has some pretty damn steep and huge mountains!

It definitely look like a spear, you can see the point at the very top.

Just found an online version of magic 8 ball, asked of polearms, and it said "You're going to die". Kinda scary :poke:

Anyway, great update :tops:

Im pretty sure we were told at some point that we would not be getting fallout style armor.

Hopefully, shes a Volhirar, or the eastern Skyrim vampires.

My guess is its vampire.Her teeth look really sharp.And looks like she has blood on her lips.Or maybe its just lipstick.
