Imagine what a Dunmer vampire would look like, then... assuming they're in the game again.

Spoiler:

Reckon the girl in the top-right is an Imperial?

Probably like the Marcus from Underworld evolution

Spoiler:

In which case I would immediately make a Dumner character.

And I'm not sure. I was thinking the woman in the bottom right looked like an Imperial. Have they added a bunch of new races or are some of the pictures of the same races?

Great portraits! Looks like it's going to be a great game.

Yeah, i wonder how the face creating is going to work? And at last! Decent beards!

No Remington, it's all the same races from Oblivion. Nothing new here

I am curious about this game, but from all I have seen so far, it looks an awful lot like Oblivion. I am not convinced yet that this title is a lot better then number IV.

Footage from Quakecon:

Everytime I see this game, it just seems to become more and more impressive.

New Pic!

I wonder if you can chop peoples' limbs off. I would love to see that in this game. A bit more like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic would be awesome

I don't think you can Aieru, however the finishing moves look pretty awesome on Skyrim

Female Dunmer:


She looks very pulchritudinous in my opinion.

I have no idea what that word means, but she does look very creepy.

Also, does everyone in Skyrim wear iron and fur armor? Just sayin'

I'm guessing they don't want to spoil how all of the armor looks. Plus these characters are at the start of the game.

Also, pet doggeh. Battle buddies FTW!

Am I the only one who thinks the man at the top left corner look an awful lot like Lord Denethor?

I really like what I've seen of the game so far. The characters look awesome, especially the Argonians. And the Nord next to Lord Denethor looks really good, makes me want to play as a Nord as my first character.

I may actually give serious consideration to playing Khajiit this game. The Oblivion version just looked so ugly... ._.

i can't wait anymore for this game the new pics are so awesome

Erm I'd tend to disagree with that statement there LoD

Due to the size of her brow, she looks rather masculine. Just a few shades too masculine if you ask me.

I was being sarcastic. A male that looked like that would be cool though.

Reminds me of a bleached Navvi from Avatar. I think its those oh so womanly eyebrows

Dog is cool though. Wouldn't mind having one accompany me through the game.

I'm pretty sure I would. Whenever I've played a game where I have a dog, I've come to hate it. It gets in the way, it barks, it's distracting, you have to look after it. And they're useless. It was ...

Spoiler:

... in Fable 2, but at least it did something useful in that process. Barking when you were near a chest or a dig spot was useful in a way, but not as much as it was irritating. And I prefer to find treasure myself, when I want to look for it, instead of being interrupted in the middle of a quest by the damn thing barking again and again.

In Fable 3, which I dislike for several reasons, I think the dog was even more irritating. There I didn't have any emotional bonds to it at all. That dog was just... a dog, and not a personal companion like it, after all, had been in the former game.

In Minecraft, the only thing the wolves seem to be good at is falling down cliffs, getting in the way and pushing you down cliffs. Not worth the porkchop cost at all. You basically need to bring a number of porkchops just to keep it alive while you go pig hunting, in order to get porkchops for the way back and a few extra for a few minutes of adventuring. Before you need to go pig hunting again.

So no, the possibility of being able to have a dog in Skyrim does not appeal to me. Begone, foul canines, for I despise you!

Lol, with you on the dog thing, actually.

Especially minecraft, the only thing I use them for is my Mod so I can use them to see outside when in a dirt hole. The AI sucks on them, I think thats what ruins in game companions, the rubbish scripting.

Hopefully skyrim will bring about a better and more responsive AI that will make it more rewarding or fun to have a companion. However, if you have to baby sit them like in other games I still won't care much for them.

HD footage is supposed to come next week.

A webpage from the Elder Scrolls Wiki, with most of the currently-released screenies, along with a montage of faces from each player race

Definitely worth looking at.
