So..we now know what Alduin will look like? Your thoughts?

Post » Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:41 pm

I was hoping for Alduin to look a bit more ancient - "edgy" and primeval, but of course I'm sure with enough particle effect spam and the like he'll look a might bit more impressive ingame.

It doesn't look awful but neither too good.Guess in-game Alduin is gonna be bigger and more frightening.Maybe he'll have a ghost-like appearance.

I wonder if he's not really the main bad guy. Maybe he is just a puppet for some even greater power?

I'm not to sure what I think. I mean on one hand he is a giant black dragon with spikes, and that's pretty cool... but I feel like I expected something else. Something more godly perhaps, but I'm not sure.

dont know if this was a joke, but it irritated me all the same.


Just my way of saying, "Alduin looks deliciously beautiful."

It's a game, bud. Don't take it so seriously.

im going to assume alduin will have a more grand appearance in-game, i dont see why they'd make him look so plain.


Plain? That statuette is gorgeous. It's not entirely what I was expecting either (something that looked like the universe as viewed through the Hubble telescope, but in the shape of a dragon, or something like that), but it's still totally cool.


you know, the exact opposite of the mannimarco battle from oblivion.


Ah yes, I'll never forget my first battle with Mannimarco. I somehow activated every known bug in that scene and Manni wound up drowning after he became trapped in the tunnel. It was so--not epic.

I imagined Alduin to look more ancient and powerful and big. It's a god after all. Looks too much like all the other dragons.


I would have liked him to look like http://www.google.com/imgres?q=golden+dragon&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1024&bih=653&tbm=isch&tbnid=qpiXiePgc4CscM:&imgrefurl=http://www.lionsclawgaming.com/goldenhero/items/items.html&docid=VH4vZ7ilSHKKzM&w=700&h=820&ei=V3E9TqfREqSx0AH-lNnoAw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=327&vpy=272&dur=6106&hovh=243&hovw=207&tx=149&ty=163&page=1&tbnh=156&tbnw=140&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0....majestic, yet intimidating.

Or like http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Space+dragon&um=1&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=653&tbm=isch&tbnid=V-DquOokhbDTzM:&imgrefurl=http://rose-of-lynn.deviantart.com/art/Space-Dragon-187030317&docid=zLZr8Z-9VUhssM&w=1024&h=743&ei=OXI9Tu6CJ6Tj0QHyrqj7Aw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=315&page=2&tbnh=139&tbnw=185&start=15&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:15&tx=80&ty=61

As he is now, he just doesn't come across as the God of time's physical form........he just looks like http://www.google.com/imgres?q=red+eyes+black+dragon&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1024&bih=653&tbm=isch&tbnid=YSO6ybhGo6LBDM:&imgrefurl=http://s726.photobucket.com/albums/ww265/sharingandragon1/%253Faction%253Dview%2526current%253DRed-EyesBlackDragon3.png%2526newest%253D1&docid=1T4m4rKX-uy6pM&w=544&h=544&ei=a3Q9TrPCIofY0QHIy4nBBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=513&vpy=106&dur=415&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=148&ty=161&page=1&tbnh=114&tbnw=114&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0

I think the model for Alduin looks better than those. :shrug:

Well, we still don't know what color he is, right? :evil:

Also, I think he will be able to use every single Dragon Shout in the game - this will make him really tough to beat.

Alduin's going to be huge. No doubt about that. Plus, who knows- we may have to fight other dragons along WITH Alduin.

Just badass. If it's REALLY giant, it'll make a great final boss battle :)

Alduin's spikes on his spine make sense, the Jills dont have them because that would make breeding too dangerous to attempt.

I just wish he was either black scaled or golden scaled or fiery in some way.
