Yeah the elves look much better.  But I swear if that face type is common for the khajiit I'm not going to be able to take them seriously in game.

Oh ho ho, but don't try to return the shoes, because they won't take them back once you've worn them.

I'm pretty sure those faces are just examples, I can't possibly imagine faces being less randomizeable than in Oblivion.

Female argonians - I agree, but what's wrong with khajiit?

I for one approve of the argonian changes, they look more monstrous now rather then just "painted over humanoids with a featureless pointy lizard face". I just hope their bodies are also different like in morrowind, I loved that old argonian shuffle shuffle walking motion.

Nords have Beards and Tattoos! High Elves are Yellow! Dark Elves are Dark!

It's like they took everything that was good with Morrowind's aesthetics and made them fit in with 2011 graphical capabilities, it's almost awesome enough to make me forget how much I despise the engine changes they've mentioned so far xD But again, I actually liked Morrowind's vanilla combat better than even highly modded Oblivions so my opinion is apparently worthless -.-

(My argument for why Morrowind had better combat than Oblivion is: If in Morrowind you actually saw the word "Miss" float above your enemies when you missed, would people still have been complaining?)

Very nice indeed. The Orc ladies look a bit to petite, though, but the males look great. High Elves and Khajiit look kinda wonky, as well. Well, a large minority of them at least.

But the rest of them? Look great, the whole lot. Dunmer and Argonians especially. Bosmer even have bug-eyes again!

They make me bust out laughing.

I'm not into TES lore that much, but from what I saw in Oblivion, no NPC takes them seriously, either...

The elves all look scarier and more intimidating to me than the orcs.  I think its because their tusks give all the orcs this incredibly pronounced sad-frowny face.  Even the toughest ones look like they're mere seconds from bursting into tears.

Argonians look like awesome raptor people.

Dark Elves are the only elves that look menacing to me. I like it, a lot more then the soft, squishy, unhardened ways of Oblivion dunmer.

As usual I have difficulty telling the difference between Breton and Imperial. But otherwise all of these look pretty great. I think what makes the Khajit look unusual and ridiculous to me is that they look almost like legitimate animal people.

Yes, it would still be terrible. Doesn't help that it happens a lot when you first start, turning off new players.

 But yeah, faces. All look excellent. Everyone loves face paint too. All the females look a bit off but I will have to see them in context of playing a game to see if they hold up well. Again, they all look like high-res versions of Morrowind faces. This is fantastic.

 Bretons could stand to look a little chubbier but w/e, they were always hard to tell apart.

I love it, except for the female orcs, who don't look nearly... 'coarse' enough, and the female khajit, who just look a bit weird. It could just be the lighting, though.
Hopefully, we can choose different bodytypes, so someone wanting to play a female character could choose not to have a pencil-thin neck... :P
