Did anybody else notice what the warrior with the Elven Armor is doing with his left hand? I hope this rude warrior will be a highly aggressive NPC in the game!

It's a new "taunt enemy" perk in the game.

How the hell did I miss that?

This has important ramifications for swearing in Skyrim! *runs back to drawing board*

What the?! Nice find, that's odd. I imagine the artists are having fun with this.

It's the way you cast a Demoralize Humanoid spell, obviously...

I find it rather stupid.
It does not fit TES at all imo.

^ OMG.

It's just some artist [censored] around.

So wait, drunken nords fit TES, but flipping people off doesnt...what?

Talking about rude enemies: They should also include this creature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy_hZRq8l1w&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SP14E96B57A43D4618

Some concept artist having fun doesn't fit TES?

This is a 13+ forums. The finger is inappropriate for the forums.

Maybe flipping the bird is Skyrim's way of saying"Welcome to Skyrim"?

Nice find!

If you just want a summary, though: real swear words > no swear words > fictional swear words. If you wish to argue with that summary then please read the linked post first for my reasons

Yeah, like if no one in any fiction ever raised the middle finger.

No, flipping people off in that specific way doesn't fit TES.
Just voicing my opinion.

Intarwebs, srs bssns!

holy crap that elven armor looks 10x better then in Oblivion!!! can't wait for this game to come out

yeah cause i hadnt given anyone the finger before i was 13..

You know it.

Criminal scum!

Flipping people off in a specific way? Hey, I'm not dissing your opinion, just letting ya know it doesn't make much sense to me. You can take that with as much salt as ya want. I'd be more focused on the weapon in his other hand anyway.

True. There probably is some lore-defined way for Nords to flip each other off. Involving beards.

Actually, I'm sure Argonians have all sorts of crazy vulgarities available to them using head ridges and tail swipes and teeth clicks and whatnot. C'mon, designers, get on this! Inquiring minds want to know!

I know that 'giving the V's' was an archers way of antagonising the enemy back in the day. As captured archers used to have the 1st and 2nd finger cut off if they were captured so they could no longer shoot the bow.

So i guess in Skyrim it must have something to do with the club is more effective if they still have the middle finger lol

Its cOLD in here.

You think that's rude?!

They say
The Iliac Bay
Is the place to barrel around
Without a bit of apparel on,
As advertised in that carol song
A tune that's sung as the west wind blows
About it lovely not wearing any clothes.
Ladies singing high notes, men singing lows,
Implying that the most luscious depravity
And complete absence of serious gravity
Can only be found in the waterous cavity
Of Iliac Bay.

If you are the type who is more a sinner than a sinned,
You'll find it all in Morrowind.

But the truth, my child,
Is that nothing more wild
That an ordinary fashion
Kind of slightly mad passion
Can be detected if at all
In Sentinel and Daggerfall.

Whatever your odd needs: feathered, scaled, or finned,
You'll find it all in Morrowind

It's an invention of bards
That Bretons and Redguards
Have more than some staid fun
And suffer deviant fornication.
For the most of madness, not the least,
The wise debaucher heads out east.

Where your once steely reserve is now merely tinned,
You'll find it all in Morrowind.

In Morrowind,
There is sin.
But, pray, do not confuse Dunmer variety
With that found in tepid Western society
Compared to which, it nearly is piety.
It isn't terribly ingenious calling it prudery
Observing the Dark Elf aversion to nudity.
After all, the preferred sort of lewdity
In these parts is far more pernicious.
From the Ashlanders to the wettest fishes
You'll find pleasure and pain quite delicious
In Morrowind.

If you find yourself with unkind kinship with your kin
You'll find it all in Morrowind.
