Skyrim appears to use reskinned Fallout 3 ghoul models : V - Skyrim

I'm comparing the pictures and the models are clearly different... And I don't just mean the added armor

Look at the head especially, there's no resemblance at all between them, and the (back) of the arms are completely different to the ghouls..

The enemies themselves are of course pretty similar, but there have been these types of enemies since TES1, the basic design of the enemy is similar, BUT THE MODEL IS CLEARLY DIFFERENT

Compare the shapes of the brows, the way the left eye is larger than the right eye, and the shape of the skull; the faces of the two creatures are physically identical. If what I have posted is true and the Skyrim undead are just rehashed Fallout 3 models, I'm disappointed.

Thoughts?

There are really only so many ways you can portray the undead/basically undead. Just because one eye is bigger than the other in both models doesn't really say anything.blah blah (keep on reading, I thought this was kind of funny.... On a more serious note, did you notice that the shade of dark elves is almost the same as a nightkin? Now that is serious.

*Ahem*

You clearly haven't read the OP. Re-read the OP, check the magazine and then, if you like, edit your post accordingly

ITT everyone jumps to conclusions. The OP (no offense, it's an opinion.) now you
Just because I only acknowledged one specific attribute of the few he mentioned (the eyes) and then broadly noted that the undead/basically undead USUALLY look the same does not mean I did not read the OP. Which I did. Admittedly, I did not look at the magazine again after reading it. Maybe YOU should re-read an unimportant and sarcastic reply somewhere in the bowels of this thread. But as I said, how many truly original ways are there to portray zombies and skeletons. Or a combination of the two. Oh AND I checked the magazine again. And No, I don't really think they're as similar as the OP claims. Not by a longshot.

What part of "They are real and regular threats" implies that they are rare?

Regular as in they are like a major boss, so that's pretty rare. They are not going to be spammed across the landscape. I expect 15-20 maybe. With a game with 100+ hours of play, 1 per 5 hours is pretty rare. Shepperd in MW2 was the main boss and he occurred 5 hours in, so is he common? No.

Actually, I expect more like 5-10 with the rest being derivatives of dragons, or something like dragonkin.

It shouldn't cause screams of 'RUINED FOREVER!!!' just because they use a familiar model from a enemy with an undead appearance for an undead. Give Bethesda a break. They are making a game that already sounds brilliant and you guys are screaming over a slightly similar enemy.
