The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Character Creation Examples Revealed [Every Race Included]

Bethesda Softworks will be showcasing the character creation sequence of the forthcoming The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at PAX Prime this weekend, an event taking place in North America, and as such have decided a little generosity to their European fans is appropriate. For those gamers unable to travel across the ocean, the publisher has released a series of screenshots demonstrating the presets available for each race.

I am going to have a freaking malfunction! They need to stop showing Skyrim stuff and just release it or invite me to beta! I need my Elder Scrolls FIX!

Seriously, can’t wait for this game to be released!

[Workshyskiver]

This has the complete collection of races for everyone to peruse: http://www.bethblog.com/ind...

Thanks for posting that! The Argonians sure look badass now.

I'm really liking the look of the Khajiits too.

Overall characters just look MUCH better now. They all look different and look how their race should look.

I've never played an ES game before, but I can't wait to get sucked into Skyrim.

[MAJ0R]

get oblivion on PC, download some mods and get some play time b4 Skyrim, u will like it

[superadvanced]

i wish they would allow you to modify the body type more. all the males and all the females have the exact same body geometry just different textures and a different head.

[Zyrusticae]

Actually, they DO let you modify the body type.

Remember, these are all *presets*. Not only that, but the whole point was to show off faces, and as the bodies are mostly offscreen anyways it'd be largely pointless to try to show that off.

[Lionalliance]

Every Race? Where's the Argonians ones?

[MagicAccent]

The nords mistook them for dragons.

[Tainted Gene]

Haha, no... not the Argonian Maiden.

[pipipi]

CHECK THE FACEBOOK PAGE MY MATE!!!

[Clayman]

Argonian, Breton and Dark elves are missing.

[Lirky]

Surely some are missing since some of them looked aged I was expecting some prettyness instead of old-relic looking ppl but its very interesting.

[FragMnTagM]

Given the time period I doubt too many people looked pretty, lol.

[Abriael]

Check the alt sources for the missing ones :D

[eak3]

They have all the presets up on their facebook page. The argonians and dark elves look fantastic. Highelves look like used up ho's however

[LightofDarkness]

Agreed, definitely starting out as a Dunmer again.

[Jacks_Medulla]

Stop toying with me and release already!

[Workshyskiver]

Altmers look old and bad ass

[falloutx]

Looks like i'm gonna play as an Imperial this time.

[Whore_Mouth]

Actually missing three races.

[C0MPUT3R]

Orcs look terrible too close to Dark Elves.
.
Red Guards look bad, not enough ebony like features. (White races with a tan.)

[deathbetold]

thats b/c orcs are a type of elves if you read the lore behind them u will understand. morrowind also went into some details about them aswell

[turgore]

The khajiit are gross lol. Nords look the best - look at those beards !

[TesMgsFan]

I hope they gonna fix the character creation in skyrim Style :D

[CaptCalvin]

Bethesda seriously needs to replace whoever designs their game's hairstyles.

[eddvdm]

Yep.. if at least this time they aren't like made of stone I'll be ok with it. Or at least let us make some damage with it =D

[emogen]

they still look ugly

[Swiggins]

Stop looking at your family photos and look at the damn screen shots ;D

[Tony P]

It's a definite improvement for TES, but they aren't that great compared to other games.

[FlashBack]

For me is either Breton, Imperial , High Elf or Argonian.....or all.

[Bobbie001]

Playing as khajit first time, going to join the dark brotherhood asap when I start the game

[Dagobert]

They still look shitty. Honestly the best character creation system I have ever seen was in APB where I made my character look exactly like Tupac. If only more games could make their caracter creation system like that of APB.

[Objective]

Best character creation is in City of Heroes/ Villains IMO.

[Nicaragua]

EVE Online IMO

[specialguest]

Those Orc women are hot!

[lMHl]

Very cool

[Perjoss]

very nice, but there is something about the eyes, they all look quite similar apart from the Kajiit (cat people)

[Voxelman]

They all look ugly...
Well it's good to know that the proud tradition of bad Bethesda character creators is going to continue I guess.

Well still super exited about the game can't wait.

[lochdoun]

So much for drastically improving the character creation...
Not a big deal, the NPCs do look good at least.

[MonopolyRSV]

Go Argonian or go home.

[tubers]

Awww.. it's a bethesda game alright..

few gorgeous women.. IF ANY xD hahaha

Can't wait... PC version that is :)

[Snowii]

sorry but they are all ugly

fallout 3 had better looking chars

everyone here looks weird :(

[yamzilla]

tell me those are xbox360 or ps3 screeenies, the pc versions charachters will look wayy better!

[Voxelman]

Modders should be able to do something with it

[Bolts]

God damn. This why I'm glad I'll be playing this on the PC where there's mods to fix the hideous looking faces in this franchise.

[waltyftm]

2 Across and 15 Down, that's my bitch right there, Dragons beware.

[Deadman_Senji]

I LIKE IT

[WhiteLightning]

Already decided....Female Woodelf, just like Oblivion :)

Hopefully that slider to make them look younger will be present in Skyrim
