Skyrim Gameplay Expo (And Preset Portraits)

[Kueh]

No, sorry. For those of you who are following Skyrim updates this isn't anything new.

It's the same presentation that was given at E3, and at Quakecon, and at PAX (but people actually got to play it themselves at PAX.) For those of you who haven't seen it yet, this is the best version by far, since it's uploaded by Bethesda itself.

Updated with the new preset character portraits.

Overall, every race is now more badass, but some moreso than others.

Khajiit and Argonian females have necks like whaaaaat

I know they are preset, but I wonder how much can customization make them differ (though, the Altmer's problem that I am about to mention, will not be able to be fixed with customization, since that's the shaders used in the game), the elves look terrible, Dunmers are ok, they always been ugly like that, and match the lore. But the Bosmer just doesn't seem right, the color of the skin is not like that, too dark. But even worst the Altmer's color isn't right either, too human, their skin should be golden, showing a light reflection almost like gold instead of skin. The color of skin of the Altmer's shown here is actually the color that Bosmer's should have.

Well, aside from the fact that whatever skin color they decide the race to have is the right color, you should expect more customization than in Oblivion.

(And you could even make your characters have almost any color of skin you wanted in Oblivion. Getting green was actually pretty hard though.)

Can't agree with that, can't just discredit the game's lore just because they are lazy to make another skin shader, my main problem is the Altmer, their golden-skin have been there since Arena to Oblivion, mentioned in books and it's a clear distinctive characteristic of one of the oldest races in Tamriel.
I mean, it's just a minor issue, skin, but I always liked the Altmer's uniqueness in that matter :< even though I hate the race.
Buuut, lore consistency always had flaws on TES games... I'll live. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a178/letixferrance/wally_the_prestigious_monocled_bird.gif

I am so becoming a Khajiit, I love their earrings.

[Kueh]

I usually play khajiit, but after seeing the argonians, I'm not so sure anymore...
