Overall, which game had the "best looking" of each of the races?

You can discuss why you preferred whatever you preferred.

I think that the races overall look better in Skyrim. The game has better graphics and generally better character models.

Skyrim in all options.

So far it looks like people prefer gaunt Dunmer and yellow Altmer.

You need an eye check my friend.

Not really. The poll numbers at the time were 100% to Skyrim and Skyrim's Altmer are yellow skinned and Skyrim's Dunmer are gaunt. If that is what one prefers in those races aesthetically, then that is what one prefers in them aesthetically. But people should be clear on what they are really voting for as "best looking."

Yes you are right, altmer should have been black, or pink!

They weren't yellow anyways, they had a golden skin which looked great. and you clearly dont understand what gaunt means because dunmer arent gaunt at all. they look exactly as they should.

It is a matter of personal preference, and personal opinion. Why should people be clear they are voting for yellow or gaunt, when they might not consider either one to be true?

This really isn't going to go well.

Did I say what color Altmer should be? No.

Nor was my observation a moral judgement or criticism. It was an observation.

Yes, it is a matter of personal opinion. I am not saying that people should agree with yellow or gaunt if they see them as gold or full fleshed, but I am saying that these races looked differently across these games and I am looking for peoples best sense of aesthetics on a case by case basis.

It is your prerogative as a moderator to lock the thread if you see fit to do so.

Races have improved since Morrowind, no denying that. but yes its a matter of personal preference. you may like the dunmer in MW more because they had something the ones in Skyrim didnt. i just didnt like how the OP quickly criticized us for voting for Skyrim in a sarcastic manner and called the altmer yellow and dunmer gaunt.

I voted Skyrim for all except argonian and Khajiit. I picked Morrowind for them.

Why did you prefer the Argonians and Khajiit of Morrowind over the newer games?

they have beast legs on morrowind instead of human legs on skyrim and oblivion.

I liked the dunmer in morrowind the most, because it had huge variety of them (being set in their homeland and all).

I liked redguards in Oblivion most, because they actually had a slightly reddish skin and seemed to be more than just a token black race.

I liked the argonians in Oblivion most because of the wide variety of colors they had compared to Skyrim

I liked imperials in morrowind most because of the Roman legion feel they had.

For everything else, I think Skyrim is the best. I especially like what they did to orcs (who looked like friendly brothers of Shrek in Oblivion) and bosmer who looked horrible in both morrowind and Oblivion.

Note that the Argonians should actually have human legs, since reptiles, amphibians and humans are plantigrade.

do you know what gaunt means? it means that thier face is sunk in in places, looking almost starved.

No sh*t. i know what it means. and thats not the best way to describe the dunmer.

Argonian, Khajiit and Dunmer in Morrowind. The others in Skyrim.

Skyrim just hands down for all races, but best looking in skyrim are redguard women followed by breton women. Coolest looking men are orcs followed by redguards.

Skyrim for All.

Except I still would like a small form of Digitigrade legs for Khajiit and Argonians.
