Heh yeah I was looking at those at the TES forums, amazing work, but I am a bit worried about how green the orcs are lol they are like glowsticks...

Hmm.. Interesting, thought as most of these screens not coming from Bethesda they look a little to light or that something has been done with the lighting. But it clearly looks cool, but all the beast races looks so much more human now. I like the MW Argonian a little better so far then what I think of the one on this screenshot...

Yeah I agree with the morrowind argonian, I don't see how you can call them beast races anymore if they don't have huge feet and lovely long heads.... I hope the khajiit looks alright, as it was hard to tell as the trailer was quite early in production....

With the lighting all wierd like that it make it look kinda like really old pre-rendered stuff.

I'm sorry to disappoint you here but as far as I know the beast races will be based on the same structure as the humanoid races. That's something I'm really disappointed with, to be honest...

"13. How are beast races being altered, based upon past appearances, traits, and possible perks--along the lines of claws giving the beast races a boost during hand-to-hand combat--for Oblivion?

They’re very cool, and also work through the same face system, aging Argonians makes their colors change for example. As far as body styles, they’re more like they were in “Redguard”, where they walk like regular humans, even though they have tails and such. We did this to keep the same animation and clothing system for all characters, as it’s one of the most insanely complicated parts of the game. The argonians are my favorite looking race in the game."

Those Shots are awesome.

Esspecially the one that shows the guy in black and gold armor with whatg seems to be the games interfvace, and looking Paused!

And, if I know anything about ornate gold and black armor, that is Ebony. And DAMN, it looks badass...

As for the beasties, I like the Khajiit, I think he's quite cool. The Argonian I find a bit old. Maybe its because he's bald...

Heck yeah.

Khajiit? On which picture?

Ehm - The video?

Many have taken screens from it, and the Khajiit really doesn't look that bad

I won't judge how they look before I haven't seen an official close-up screenshot of one, the sequence in the trailer was too short to say anything certain

Very good screens!

I have to say I'm very impressed with the picture of the lady and the town street, it looks stunning. You can see an orc in the backround too, and the guard uniforms are flippin' sweet.

She's quite lovely by the way,

To me these are pretty disappointing compared to the last one. The roads and walls looking flat in thise one, not 3d like the first screenshots. Everything seems too blurry too, like not bloom, just like a low resolution, like the setting were turned way down for these shots.

Well maybe Oblivion isn't going to be totally 3-D like we thought, it's quite plain that the streets and stuff look extremely flat.

I also would like to state that I'm starting to like the idea of humanized beast races, as they won't walk like wierdos now (morrowind). I might even play as a khajiit female... I always loved them..

That argonian does't look that much of a beast. They mentioned faces can be stretched, aged and otherwise altered. I really hope I can get a more lizard looking face than that.

And I do so love the quaint look of little town in the first shot. I should enjoy very much filling its streets with corpses

Its a bad angle. Morrowind agronians look equally crappy from that angle.

The armor appears to be ebony. That's my best bet.

WOW, how can anyone talk shite?
