Last week we polled members of The Elder Council on what race/player type they’d like to see next. In a runaway vote, the majority of folks wanted to see a Dunmer thief, and above is the awesome screen the team put together.
Argonian fans… fear not. Your day will soon come!

Damn that looks cool. I’m not sure if I want to use a Khajiit character like I did in Oblivion or the Nord defult character. BTW I just pre-ordered my Limited Edtion copy of Skyrim!!
Thief who screams and sweeps with two unusable daggers? Must be true professional. Ehm, sorry, I’ll go back to Morrowind.
@Mike nope i think it would be some other or ebony daggers
looks like the genie from aladdin… love the daggers… still.. never going to play a Dummer..
Cool.. I love the blade..
Can’t wait for the Argonian
Damn that looks amazing. Props to vsions/Carofano and the rest of the character artists.
I tought that picture is from a Morrowind-Mod.
Is that the only skin tone? Cause I always thought Dunmer looked best when their pigment was some level of desaturated blue.
Are there no normal maps???
Why would they vote for a dark elf when you can see 2 in the E3 demo…
It looks ebony, well when it comes to its pummel but the safe side of the blade says daedric, while the bite side says steel. Does this mean customizing styles is possible with the new smithing system? Naw, that would make thousands of possible combinations that they would have to model. But that would be awesome though if it is.
I hope ms will allow community mods (edited by beth). That would be a great help in settling all the commotion in the community. For ps on the other hand I have little hope Sony will stop walking backwards any time soon.
Finally, a return to Morrowind-style Dunmer.
I wish we could see his eyes better, it’s hard to tell if the red is right when he’s so squinty.
Also PRAISE TALOS, INVERSE GRIP DAGGERS. That had better not be photoshop trickery!! If it is, I’ll/// I’ll.. I’ll cry!
HELP !
when click the link to the elder council on facebook it takes me to facebook main page instead !
I want to see a breton. in oblivion you can’t really see being something like “half-elf” I want to see them my fav race
Many thanks for posting this beautifull pic.
Have played Dumner in Morrowind, in Oblivion and will in Skyrim with a special PLUS because the work you’ve done is absolutely delightfull, the color of skin is really perfect and it has the morrowind touch I love so much.
Thanks again, it is torture to wait
Looks more like an Iraqi insurgent than a wood elf.
I wanted to see an Argonian. T_T
Omg…omg…omg…almost had a nerdgasm.The character looks great. Bethesda finally understood that when we want to play dark elfs we want to play a badass race not the jolly blueberry elfs we had in oblivion. Also hope that their voice is similar to that from morrowind since in oblivion they sounded like someone was grabbing them by their genitalia all the time.
This pic just made the game a must buy for me. (was thinking about it before but was afraid they might oblivion-ate the game even more). Can’t wait to see argonians.
Argonian screenshot.
Bethesda… Saving the Best for last.
So we might have to wait a while becuase there are still other races.
*checks forums*
I guess Bethesda couldn’t dare make the fans wait that long.
@gstaff Sorry for my initial frustration and thanks for the clarification. That really sucks, though.. I wish I could at least get an error message or a notification instead of an immediate redirect, however.
I just hopethe main quest is good I liked morrowwinds a lot but oblivions was way to short I think and if there’s no dark brotherhood in skyrim I’m going to die
