Bretons

Argonians

Dunmers

Imperials

Khajiits

Orcs

Redguards

Bosmers

Altmers

GET OUT OF HERE STALKER

 

[Excidium]

Looks good.

I like the dunmer and orcs.

 

[Surf Solar]

They all look fucking the same.

 

[Grunker]

They all look fucking the same.

This. Also, all the women look like they're 80+

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Humans, brown humans, humans with pointy ears, humans with pointy ears and tusks, humans wearing Halloween masks.

 

[Turisas]

Also, all the women look like they're 80+

Bullshit. I'd tap dat orc ass any time.

 

[BlitzKitchen]

Yeah, this shit is becoming all too common. Developers will rehash the same bone structure in a face and just change small surface details.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Heh am I the only one noticing that most ofl the women look like they're frowning or just ate a whole lemon? Oh man I can't wait for the tasteful female orc waifu mods.

Dark elf males are cool. The fucking male bretons look like they crawled out of a medieval slum
In fact 40k bros look at those faces, that is some hive world shit right there.

I'll be more impressed if during talking and interactions they don't look like renn faire androids larping for your amusement. WE SHALL SEEEEE

Jesus fucking Christ. How I didn't noticed that all humanoid races have the same overall facial bone structure and the only differences are the skin color, noses, eyebrows, jaw shape and other minor features! Now I remember why I hated Morrowind so goddamn much.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

I find the beast races the most ridiculous. They're going to be the same deal as in Oblivion, that is, exactly the same bodies as humans, just different skin texture + beast mask and a tail that sticks out of plate armor.

Seriously, why would sentient lizards and cats evolve in exactly the same way as humans, just with a different head? Hell, they didn't even have claws in Oblivion. And Argonian females had mammaries. There can't be any suspension of disbelief whatsover.

Morrowind was a bit better in this regard. There were actually three different body types: man, mer (elves and orcs) and beast.

They already mentioned that will be special animations for the beast folk but looks like female argonians still have breast.

the good:
Looks like they prepared the models for Face FX.
the bad:
Looks like they prepared the models for Face FX.

It can be oddly familiar looking if not using custom made presets.
But visually, a massive improvement, especially if tweaking with sliders is possible, and it probably is.

 

[FatCat]

Looks damn good

 

[Micmu]

Orcs look like angry humans with tusks :D

In fact all races look the same

Pathetic and expected

Looks like they are going the Morrowind way, at least visually.

Get glasses

[Ruprekt]

They all have the physiognomy of subhuman alpinids.

Genuinely confused now. Is it good or bad?
Also, that is not really that advanced as some may think, it's a industry standard for some time now.

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Looks damn good

Agreed, although they grimied it up to the point where orcs just look like dunmer with tusks.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

Genuinely confused now. Is it good or bad?

It pretty much looks like oblivion lipsynching.

I meant the elves, especially the dunmers. High eyebrows, "sucked" cheeks, big chin... The female nords also look somewhat similar.

You are absolutely right, but that's with available presets.
I mentioned it because with custom made animations it can look way better than NW for example.
I don't see neither FO3 or NW as some kind of advanced animation tech, but it was better then Oblivion, and the tool by it self has lots of potential.

I don't believe that Beth can do actual proper animations, or better said that they are willing to take the risk of performance loss on consoles, that is imminent with advanced animation sets.
It wouldn't be a problem, but the games are physically huge, so unless they brake the sandbox in to smaller pieces they are forced to do so.
And I merely liked the models, because their previous models in TES where the ultimate horror.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

They all look fucking the same.

 

[Luzur]

looks better then Bethesda's usual.

but the eerie similarity to each other is kinda glaring.

but i am more interested if they will make beast races like in Morrowind or in Oblivion.

takes away abit of that "human in cat mask" feeling i got from Oblivion.

 

[JarlFrank]

Why are they all so fucking ugly and angular. Don't look like real faces at all.

Obligatory shitty pun:
Faces more like feces amirite
