Is that a dragon tail I see there? On the left hand side.

Yes. This is a wallpaper/picture that was released a while ago. He's standing over a slain dragon, absorbing it's essence. It's a tail...

Notice, it's a different dragon from what we've seen in the trailer. Compare the tails.

No it isn't. This picture has been released as a wallpaper for over two months now, plus there's already another topic about this, and that one shouldn't be open either.

Yep, it's a dragon's tail.

I'm glad they seem to be sticking with this guy for promotional stuff, as he looks ridiculously cool.

There's a http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1173879-forum-background-changes/ thread, by the way.

A bow? No, it's not a bow. http://cms.elderscrolls.com/sites/default/files/tes/wall_downloads/dragonborn_1920x1200.jpg

Bah,

It's the long curve of a mammoth's tusk that's been hollowed out as a horn just in case Beth came up with a horn of sounding/blasting.

Dang, that's one curvy mammoth tusk!

Dragon tail

» Wed Apr 27, 2011 4:48 pm

Hmm. Top of a mountain. I don't think it is from a dragon he killed. The tail wouldn't be winding around the mountain. I think it is one of the dragons we are eventually able to summon. I am speaking of the full background others have linked, it is also my wallpaper.

But, then he IS svcking the soul out of the dragon so maybe not. Then why is the dragon falling by circling the mountain! Crazy artists and their artistic license!

It's still very high resolution for a message board background. I didn't noticed since I was using a different background to avoid scroll lag. I'll probably have to change it back when I browse the boards on a slower machine.

Edit:
Of course it might be transparency and not the background itself that causes the scroll lag. I'm not sure other than I know something with the background does it.

Speaking of that dude looking cool, anyone notice how Oblivion's promotional character was boring as [censored] looking, and this guy is an epic action-movie badass?

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:25 am

it is. but not sure if it is a real tail or a statue

» Wed Apr 27, 2011 5:24 pm

Its a Dragon Tail, i got a better Image now and saved it as my PC Backround

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:30 am

Dragon tail?Of course not! It is a cliff racer tail! :tongue:

I find it more interesting that he's duel wielding in this picture. To me it also looks like he has a long sword in his left and a shortsword in his right.

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:06 am

It is, I'm using the same image as my wallpaper

» Wed Apr 27, 2011 11:41 pm

Yeah now that I'm on said old computer the new background is ridiculously laggy, more so than the old one possibly. I guess it's one way of seeing if you have the CPU power for Skyrim. :teehee:

Thankfully IP.Board works fine.

I want a "Dragon Born" race that has a dragons tail (like argonian).

» Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:02 am

Yeah its a dragon's tail. I hope they have this picture for some other races/classes. It would be cool if they switched up the background
