They purposefully left out Altmer because Altmer bite the big one. Either that, or Bethesda haven't released any images of Altmer yet.
Are you positive that the elf with the claymore and lighter skin isn't a High Elf? He even seems to have the elevated cheek bones, too.
This guy: Is in fact a Bosmer (Wood Elf). I know it's hard to believe, especially since they have shown other Bosmers and they look entirely different than this guy. I only know because on the Elder Scrolls Facebook Page, it says Wood Elf Male, right in the description. The character creator must be insane.
I still don't know what character to be, every day I think about it, I think of a new character. Damn.
I want to try being a straight up destruction warlock. Mo weapons, mo problems. I'ma be a flat out skilled in the category of death.
I keep thinking I want to make a character like Harry Potter, but then I'l be lost after the Mage's Guild.
i think im gonna make 2 character and do a bunch of random miscellaneous quests with each before i really start the main quest. whichever i like more i'll stick with for a while and at least finish the main quest before going back to the other. one of them is going to be a tank redguard melee fighter and the other is going to be a stealthy/bow/maybe some magic type. not sure what race, maybe dark elf, wood elf, or khajiit.
Damn it, Monkey, you got there before I did. Yeh, he's right. If you look up "Skyrim Altmer" on Google there isn't any images for Skyrim, so Im guessing that means they haven't released any images of them yet. There is, however, this image, for some strange reason. :| ****ing word. I hate babysitting idiots that get caught on 3 inch rocks and get stuck behind, leaving you to realise that you need them to complete the next part of your mission and they're 40 miles behind you. You're a man after my own heart, Chrono.
Even if my partner was a badass like Boone, I still don't want to micromanage his actions. I'll be one-hitting man and monster anyway, so I don't need the baggage, good or bad.
Honestly I don't put much work into planning my characters rather than just making sure I get the most out of levels. My best character was supposed to be pure magic, but instead he ended up being the guy who'd just run into a bunch of guys and start smashing heads with the heaviest thing in my inventory. Then I'd heal, at the very beginning his rejuvination skill was his best, though conjuration was the first stat I maxed and illusion was the second .I'd get bored fighting and just turn dungeons into my own personal arenas. I think blade was next, or maybe Heavy armor.
my latest character in oblivion i power leveled my major skills so theyre all maxed except archery (stupid arwen dies so i cant get training and it takes forever to actually level up archery naturally in the higher levels)i believe, plus some of my minor skills are maxed as well. blade, light armor, heavy armor, illusion, conjuration, destruction, sneak, and alchemy are all maxed. i think im almost a level 50 with about 75 hours of playtime. and i wasnt just level grinding, i completed mages guild, dark brotherhood, about halfway though main quest and fighters guild and thieves guild.
