The bandit armor concept art looked good too

The light armors in Oblivion were really lacking compared to the heavy ones in detail and look I think.

I hope we get some neat fur, hide and cloth armors in Skyrim

For those of us who like the bandit, vagabond, outlaw, thief and ragged look!

You guys are pretty quick. Was about to say it was up

That was fantastic! I love the art direction. I think it's the perfect balance of realism and fantasy.

Some great concept art in there, if this is any indication of how stuff will actually look in game it will be amazing. It got me really excited, can't wait to see more actual screenshots and in game vids.

I counted several spider drawings. This does not bode well for the arachnophobe contingent. :whistling:

It looks like polearms are in, I saw a halberd.

Assuming I'm not the only one grinning from ear to ear. And still the UI to come, saved the best 'til last, maybe?

Guess we won't get beast-legs, but he still looks nice!

Looks AWESOME! Made my day!

What is UI and there was an art update.

» Mon May 16, 2011 11:40 pm

My guess at the locations:

-Well, they basically said it was Riften on the sheet with multiple coloured sketches including boats
-Big city with fire everywhere and multiple levels - Whiterun (or maybe Windhelm)
-Rainy city - Same place
-Building with fire on the mountain - Sky something temple (with Alduins wall)
-City on arch over water at ocean - Dawnstar? In the snowy climate in any case. Doesn't look too big.

Yeah, well that's pretty basic, but it's all I got.

UI means User Interface or HUD, heads-up display.

Now that we had this art update, the next one tomorrow will no doubts be the UI one, describing how it works and looks.

Confirmed: halberd concept art exists.

man.. i really love the music, it just works!

I enjoyed this update, but the reason I enjoyed it had absolutely nothing to do with art

Now we just have to hope these concepts become a reality. ^_^

1:01 and 1:38 - I see halberds.

I thought halberds had spear points. I don't see spear points on any of those pole arms. Still, it's great to see pole arms return.

Wonder what's the starting attributes (if they're in) and skill distributions will be for our scaly-friend this time. The one on the art doesn't look particularly nimble to me.

City with fire everywhere? Like kvatch? What do you mean multiple levels?

What is that little square box on the bottom left of that piece of concept art?

Confirmed: halberd concept art exists.

There was "halberd" concept art in other videos too, we've known about it for a long time.

Furthermore it doesn't prove the existance of ether spears nor polearms in the game, it could just be two handed axes like in Oblivion.
