Haha just a bit. Really I'm blown away. I remember in a previous thread about orcs a dev said we'd be pleased with how everything is coming out.

He wasn't lying.

Is he sporting a dread mohawk?

The Dreadhawk is the single most hardcoe hairstyle possible. Also, dreads on Orcs just feel... right.

I decided that I was going to play as an Orc this time before Skyrim was even announced. This picture makes me feel pretty good about that decision. :biggrin:

The non-upturned nose could also be a result of evolution. I mean, I'm sure the races of Tamriel don't stay stagnant. They are simply becoming distinctive and adapting to their environment. Maybe an upturned nose in a colder environment is not beneficial, thus selected against by evolution. Lol, just something to think about for those who are worried about consistency.

Just seen the orc screen......Orcs look awesome,so do khajiit's. I think they look amazing,i wonder what argonians will look like after seeing that.
Are those screenshots of the orc and khajiit xbox screens?........If so i'm impressed.

What makes me think though is if the "hi-res" textures are already made. I mean, it's much easier to make a good hi-res texture from the start, and then downgrade it to lower-res, than to make a low-res texture and upgrade it to look good as hi-res as well. The quality of a texture is always lowered when you upgrade it from low-res, and it will take more work to make it truly good quality than it otherwise would.

I hope that, too. That means it'd be possible for a texture pack to be released whitin days by Bethesda.

Seriously, it's one of the very few good things that Bioware did well with Dragon Age 2.

Same here, great amount of kudos to the devs that worked on the orsimer.

Todd said higher res for PC. He didn't say how higher res. He said he couldn't speak of that. So for all what we know, it might only be slightly higher res, and not that much of a difference.
I hope not, but it could.

Comparing my 360 oblivion to my pc oblivion= pc much better
Comparing my 360 fallout 3 to my pc fallout 3= pc much better
Comparing my 360 fallout new vegas to my pc FNV= pc wayy better

Now what makes you think they are going to stop the trend?

I always thought of Orc as lower class and worthless... From looking at that picture gives me the opposite opinion.... Maybe except the class part...

I'm really curious now how female orcs are going to look.

Considering they have had 5 less personality than the males (in MW and OB)...more ugly!

» Tue May 03, 2011 9:20 am

I like it myself but you can probably use another hairstyle or go the bald route...

they're dredlocks...dredlock mohawk...which kicks so much freeking ass!
i for one love that hairstyle

*Watches a Khajiit licking his butt...*

Very noble indeed...

Considering there is no more personality, I'd hope they look at least feminine.

I'd say the most feminine feature would be having briasts then.

I hope female orcs are ugly. I hate it when females look like supermodels when the men look like monsters.

Yes, all media that has been released are xbox screens.

Indeed, he can glower you out of existence.

They probably look nearly the same, which if they're female, means way more ugly. All orcs just seem to have masculine appearance.
