races thread : V - Skyrim

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 5:37 am

It seems some people absolutely want their Dunmer to look like the natives from Morrowind. But let me ask you, if your character grew up on a farm in Skyrim... why would his skin look like an ashlander? Sure, some want to roleplay that their characters came from Morrowind and that's fine, then they can have ashlander-skin. Otherwise it does not make any sense to me :shrug:

A nice detail would be variation, a lot of the dunmer have probably migrated. So make textures for both "ash skin" and normal skin. Let the player choose. And even if a lot of dunmers shouldn't have the morrowind-voice since they're not born there, at least
don't give them the dorky almost enthusiastic voice they had in oblivion, it dosen't (imo) fit well with the race in general.

My simple opinion about races: Beast races should look more like their Morrowind ancestors, a choice of a race should make a real difference in the game. That's all I ask.

Because Vvardenfell has been obliterated, and Morrowind has been invaded by three of the other races of Tamriel. It makes perfect sense to assume that massive amounts of Dunmer migrated.

I don't know where to start mate. Try to make it a bit more organized and easier to vote. Or just post what you would like to see in the suggestion thread.

Seconded. :thumbsup:

Black people? Maybe moors.

The moops?

I disagree with many of the options presented.

Keep the Bosmer annoying.

hehehehehe....

Bretons should be somewhat elf like.

Orcs need the biggest makeover mostly the bright green skin and less piglike faces. They should be ugly but not that much.

Argonian beard equivalents: chin fins, feathers maybe, and spike gizzard.

Yes I know they are black but you answered my question I think the moors are a perfect parallel

yea they fixed the orcs, hopefully there personally will be a little more savage, not like extreme savage,but orcs are not very cultural
Ill kill bosmers if they are
Agreed with the Brentons statement,plus they should be the same size as humans not smaller, there half human half elf
Beast races should have more beast like qualities, make the argonians more Raptor like. a little more like http://ds.ign.com/dor/objects/77881/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-3ds/images/the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-3ds-20110413052702726.html , redguards should be darker, not reddish

Orsimer less ugly and should look more like they're actually "mer" (make them basically green elves), the latter goes for Bretons too, Bosmer less annoying, Dunmer more badass (get those tattoos ans spiky hairstyles back) and the beasties more beastlike.

:D I like this list.

Most random poll ever award goes to...

I mean, this poll could literally be infinitely long. These are merely some of your opinions or ideas jumbled up into a checklist. It's good that you kept it within character to a degree, but the relevance is still a little mind boggling.

I did, however, check off a couple things I agreed with. Mostly the stuff you listed about voice acting, as sound design seems more important than most of the other things. But, to each his/her own.

the one thing that stuck out to me that was kinda fail in OB was how the beast races could wear regular boots/footgear.
in morrowind those guys had HUGE feet and they were unable to wear boots.
in morrowind those guys had snouts and could only wear open-faced helmets.
in oblivion they could wear shoes and full faced helmets!
make the BEAST races more BEAST-like! kajiht (spelling is wrong) was my favorite in morrowind because the fact that they were different from all other races, no shoes/full helms but in OB i was turned off by them because they were just like everyone else! keep humans/elves/orcs/really humanoid races human-like. let the BEASTS be BEASTS!!!

Jack again.

Polls redundant and stupifyingly biased, if you cared about what people think Search button has all the info you need, but It seems people just make threads to make threads these days.

Dunmer skin is not genetic it doesn't "change" with Climate or whatever hoo ha you peeps might think, its a fuzzing Curse, it doesn't go away because its cold, COLD does not cause Lighterskin, Lack of sun exposer does, and the Dunmer skin has nothing to do with the sun.......

and Dremora aren't Demons :brokencomputer:

There is a lot of evidence of Dinosaur/Bird Hybrids with feathers (http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FArchaeopteryx&rct=j&q=Archeopteryx&ei=bA6yTZzRDIbsuAODu5yYBw&usg=AFQjCNFWq6imbYpkolo1nJoiW_3GR6pO8Q&cad=rja) and a lot of speculation that the smaller dinosaur species had http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&sqi=2&ved=0CB0QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFeathered_dinosaur&rct=j&q=dinosaur%20feathers&ei=og6yTaDcEYy8vQOtg-GLBw&usg=AFQjCNGEF3pAYCVPLtjAF_G-Bghlnr6Hvg&cad=rja.

While some of the poll queries are a little odd, I Love your Daedra suggestions, though I feel that ALL of the more social and intelligent Daedra (Aureal/Golden Saints, Dremora, Mazkan, etc.) should have more diaglouge and information available about them, and how they interact amongst themselves, with The Princes, and with other varieites of lesser Daedra.
