The 10 Races of Skyrim : V - Skyrim

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:56 pm

I hope that each race has a real unique reason to play as it. In oblivion it was like ok why would I ever choose to play as the Altmer when the Bretons have the same mana increase but no weaknesses??? Yeah altmer had more destruction skill...like that made a difference. And then it was like wait im going to oblivion...and Dark Elves are practically immune to fire...and so all the traps in oblivion did practically no damage to me...and why would anyone be an imperial?? better merchantile skill??? seriously...

Yes it is. Bethesda's strong point has NEVER been race design.

Orcs, Khajit, and Argonians should look a million times better than they actually do.

You mean like this... ?

But if I'm wrong, please oh please make the swimming animations exceedingly different from the other races. I'd like to see my Argonian clasp his arms at his sides and propel himself with his tail instead of a lame briaststroke (which is ok for everyone else).

A dev reassured us that we will be pleased with Orsimer on http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1164722-orcs-in-skyrim/page__st__140 of the Orc thread. I have faith in them.

how about something like this for khajiit? in skyrim i'd say they have to be a bit more muscular and have thicker fur due to skyrim's harsh climate.

Grief, I would actually play a beast race. In all of my time on TES this would be a first.

Every character I ever created. :biggrin:

Lots of NPCs in Shivering Isles looked good aswell as a small amount from the original game such as Narina Carvain. High Elves were exceptionally ugly though.

The single time I did play that card, it was used to explain the fact that most people wanted a certain thing. It's fine if you don't.

There can be such a thing as a barbaric magician. Tell me, when did you ever find a peace loving Orc in Oblivion? It was a 'stereotype' anyway since all of them had the same "I'm gonna rip your arms off!" mindset. Besides, that's the way Orcs in TES are supposed to be. They're mad at the world for being so cruel to them. The problem was that it wasn't done to it's fullest. They should've been meaner.

yeah there can be barbaric magicians magicians that like to blow stuff up or set people ablaze

I actually intend to play as one eventually. An Orc mage has always sounded appealing to me for some reason. Just hope my evil spells don't backfire. :mage:

Sure but I would definately like to see/feel more diversity in the ones presented.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:35 pm

Would i like to see more races? Sure but I would definately like to see/feel more diversity in the ones presented, more.

Lmao.

You defenitely didnt read the OP did you?

I agree with everything you said except the part about the Dunmer and Orsimer. I think they should look more like their concept art and not like demons. The curse on the Dunmer turned their skin ashen and their eyes red and that is the only thing I know that the curse did so I would keep it too that.
The orcs should look a bit more like http://images.uesp.net/b/bd/Orsimer_official.jpg. I know it is a lot like they were in OB, but I hope(asume actually) that Bethesda make them look awesome this time. No horns, or bigger tusks or any drastic changes too them in my opinion, only improve on the design they used in MW and OB. That's just my opinion though.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:01 pm

Well, i agree with you except on the Dunmer. They are Dark, but still elves. They are not meant to be a hideous peoples, just unsettling. They are the BA's of the elves, and not just in TES. I never had respect for the pointy eared bastards until Morrowind. BS pretty much royally f - i mean screwed - the race in OB. Voice, looks everything. Here's hoping my favorite race will make a comeback.

That seems to be the general consensus. :sadvaultboy:

See?! ... Hey Frank the Bunny. Big fan. Seen Donnie lately?

And it's valued. Basic improvements can go a long way.

Thumbs up, I had missed that.

Orcs really need more attention as they seem to be the least popular race.

Edit: In my opinion Orcs shouldn't have horns. Horns fit better to very aggressive type of Orks, orks, orks (WH40K).

I knew someone on the forum would catch on eventually. :shakehead:

Oh well, looks like i have to drop an engine on your house.

I don't want to die alone.

No prob. Reading the entire thread is recommended. Many good suggestions in it.

Oops read the wrong thread *blush*

Regardless I would like to see more diversity with the races we have than bringing in new ones

I don't believe you. :stare:

XD I clearly stated that in the first place. I just wouldn't be opposed to new ones either. If I had to choose, I'd rather they work on the ones we have now and refine them more.

Lol.

Haha made me Haha.

On topic though I do agree....Im sure this is something that is already being considered but most of the ideas are good.

I personally love playing as a dark elf, and I like them to look a little more evil than normal. But thats just me.

I like the part about refining the current races

I know, right? Me too. That's why I wrote a near ten paragraphs about it.

And I agreed with it completely. I'm sure that Beth would as well. What better way to show off the new engine and enhanced graphics

I think bethesda would agree with everything except the Dunmer and Orsimer suggestion. They are just too far from how they have been portraited before.

And the idea of Bosmer having goat eyes, cool as it would be.
Too far from lore.
