I believe the Harness is the new "naked" torso model , it has attached a pouch and like an utility belt thingy the Khajiit pic has one too , of course i am talking nonsense and guessing i have yet to see a pic with no shirt :mellow:

I believe the harness comes with the greaves.

First DLC: Wolfhound armor

100 dollars

» Tue May 03, 2011 6:34 am

The dog in #2 is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Wolfhound. :happy:

The dog is likely a fictional breed based off of the wolfhound (a good hunting dog, leading me to assume we will see people hunting wolves in the game)

did you notice that in the last pic the nord warrior is wielding what we know is a single handed sword (seen in other screens and video) as a two hander or half and a hand sword? which means bastard swords are in!

Obviously a long sword in a blocking position (which has been mentioned) of the same design as the battleaxe and claymore we see in other pictures. Probably skyrims "steel" weapons, of a nordic variety. Notice they have a design similar to Morrowind's "Nordic" weapons.

Draugrs have red blood? I would have thought it would be black or something, or that they wouldn't have blood since they are undead reanimated corpses...

If you got black blood (or any strange color blood) on your sword at the same time you got red blood on your sword, the decals wouldn't look so good and it would be pretty hard to artistically combine them, but still possible for them to do something like that if they want to waste time on it.

Has anybody noticed the lighting in the foreground of the Orc pic. It looks unnatural to me but it could be with reason.

It does look unnatural. Possible the light spell is returning with its greenish hue.

Draugr on the left is holding a Halberd/ polearm, opposed to the one on the right with an axe

Obviously a battle axe. Tch.

I'm really not the smartest when it comes to games but, with the picture of the Ork - is that armour fully complete or will they improve it? Because to me it looks very flat around the neck, and not very detailed and i'm just curious

Looks fully complete for the Xbox 360 to me.

Don't know if anyone has suggested this already... But could that be a Guard walking along with the Dog?

That armor set seems to have a "uniform" style to it in my opinion, and given the dog companion... I'm thinking... Small town guard with "guard-dog"?

I would bet my soul that is a guard with his guard dog.

Am I the only one who finds the Old Lady in the second screen really creepy. She looks like a witch I would hear about in horror stories when I was a child.

No you are not the only one, but just saying she looks creepy seems kind of mean I, I mean she is after all just an old lady, everybody gets old if they don't die of unnatural causes I think its kind of mean to find all old people creepy. Good job incorporating realistic age difference Bethesda.

also Orc has two different eye colors

Doesn't mean we will be able to choose both eye colors, but it does mean that the 2 different eye colors will probably be a preset option.

Wearing a "harness" and a bracer, but no armour and no pauldrons. one hand sword in 2 hands

http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/116/1162158/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-20110415033045237.jpg

Same harness with armour and 2 pauldrons. Different bracers to the other screens.

No armour, same harness. one pauldron. Claymore

Actually, the top and bottom screenshots showcase the same armor. You can sort of see the left shoulder pauldron sticking out in the bottom one.(EDIT: I meant you can see the shoulder pauldron sort of in the top one)

Yes this really have me worried i don't want a full piece of armor like Fallout , i am fine with all the changes but i love mix and match i am really scared if they make the armor 1 piece or like it seems , Helmet and armor 2 pieces, i am starting to feel down , for me this would break TES :shakehead:

Of course is just my opinion :unsure:

You can see the orcs pours in his face and the graphics look good on both the orc and khajiit.

Probably Has been said but the Orc has two eye colors look one is white and the other is red.

There's actually an entire thread on that. :rolleyes:

I forgot to mention that one article has it captioned as "Bleak Falls Barrow". If I find it again, I'll throw you a link. As far as I know, all the new (never before seen) screenshots released yesterday are from the demo excluding the Orc and Khajiit.

Oh wait, no. I was wrong. It's only the blocking animation for a single handed longsword. :biggrin:

That's what I thought too...at first, and actually, I posted that response back on page two, but looking at the pic again, it's either the blocking position for a longsword, or, it's the beginning of a 360 degree, two-handed, 'decapitating', finishing slash with a longsword on the staggered draugr directly in front of the PC. :biggrin:

I don't know, but I like the third shot with the landscape best.
