This is probably old, but is the Nord guy is pulling the finger in the second concept piece xD What's the deal here? Just for laughs, most likely, or is it some sort of magical hand movement for super-crazy Dovakiin only?

I really hope we get the chance to flip Alduin the bird sometime in the game :)

Also, tell me if I needa take that image down.

Do you mean "Here, pull this"?

Agreed Chinaapple, I'm an immature mature, but being flipped the bird by an armored Nord just seems too cool. :P

Now why whould I ever think fo that? Shame on you Yasgur! ;)

Oh, and a great secret squirrel handshake:

Gimme 5; in the whole; thanks for cleaning my toilet bowl!

erm...right...on topic...um...gosh...
Oh, I wonder if there's an international protocol person who kind of checks for such cultural specific unintended insults.
Maybe even a gold, bipedal Dwemer robot ;)

It's Todd's sneaky way of giving the finger to all the hypercritical, hypocritical, haters out there. :yes:

Just a joke from the concept artist.
They have to have some fun, sitting in the Bethesda prison making TES games.

Nothing wrong with not taking life too seriously :foodndrink:

I think it's hilarious, and I kinda hope they implement a scripted easter egg where this can happen to you.
