Anyone else think that orc looks kinda like Frankenstein's monster?

However, let me say Bethesda did a superb job on the Argonians.

I agree that these example (and I must stress the word example) faces are nothing to write home about, but just look at the possibilities available in the character creator:

Khajiit – I am seeing a fantastic number of options in the different fur patters and colors. Your particular Khajiit can be everything from a white tiger to a black panther. And maybe it’s just my own particular fetish revealing itself, but I think the females look amazing!

All the Human races – I like the variations of skin tone within the races. And I like that the Bretons don't look so wussied-out in Skyrim. The characters all have a weathered look to them unlike, as Grits said earlier, the Play-Dough look of Oblivion. Good facial hair options are finally available! I also like the decent looking shoulder length hair, as opposed to Oblivion’s. Not to mention that we finally have short hair options for the Redguard!

Orsimer – We have eye color options for the Orcs! And, who knows, after donning your ‘mead goggles’ in a Whiterun tavern some of those women aren’t bad!

The Elves – Yeah, these elves are fugly for all of you hoping for the Tolkien variety. But let’s take a closer look, shall we? The Dunmer are no longer Smurf-colored (that really bothered me in Oblivion)! Now they look like the Ash-Born instead of the Navi. Remember that we now have body-type options. Judging from the neck size of all the Bosmer women you will still be able to make your petite Wood Elf archer (I’m looking at you Teresa and Buffy ). As for the Altmer, well, I’m sure that the faces we create don’t have to look like that!

I’ve got nothing else to say about the awesomeness of the Argonians!
