In Skyrim I would really like to see a difference in the looks of the races. In Oblivion Imperials and Bretons are nearly identical, I've made Redgaurds who looked both black, or middle eastern, and all Khajit/ Argonians looked nearly identical.
I want Imperials to look like the Anglo's/Mediterranean's they are modeled after, Bretons shouldn't look just like them, they are TES's version of half elves, so they should have some mer qualities like in their concept art.
In Oblivion I liked how versatile the Redgaurd could be made to look.
Khajit and Argonians got pooped on in Oblivion. They all looked the same, Khajit looked like lions, when the lore allows for many different appearances in color and features. And Argonians... i'll just leave it there.
Now don't get me wrong I loved Oblivion and have played it since it came out, its just after playing Oblivion for so long you realize there isn't much that really defines these races looks wise. When the game first came out I didnt notice because I was in awe of the graphics vs. Morrowind.

What do you think, when it comes to races in Skyrim, not new races but the existing ten, and what you would like to see done with them, to make them more unique both looks wise like i mentioned, and playwise.

Bretons need to be completely overhauled. You should be able to instantly tell them apart from Imperials and Nords without having to squint or go by voice.

I think all races looked really bad in Oblivion. I think they will look much better in Skyrim.

I have no doubt they'll look better I'm sitting next to my issue of GI, and there is what looks like a nord/imperial/breton woman. And I wish I could tell what it is.
What I'm hoping for is when looking at each of the 3 races (nord/breton/imperial) in game I can instantly know the difference.

New graphics btw are amazing.

Yeah, aren't Bretons supposed to be some sort of Elf/Human hybrid?

Yes but the Elvishness is quite diluted by now.

I don't know... it'd be nice to see someone from time to time and think "that's definitely a Nord" but it's cool to be mainly ambiguous after all they are all white humans who live on the same land mass.

Sometimes you can look at a guy and think "Yes his face looks very German" but in most cases it's not easy to determine the background of white Europeans, Americans, Australasians or Africans just by looking at them. Accents are usually the giveaway. Although, Nirn is not Earth
