Has anyone mentioned how horrifying the faces are here?

[Mister Magician]

Very off to put it lightly. I think the best way to describe it is that the mer / beast races look like people in cheap rubber suits from a 1970's b movie.

I get it's all ai generated, but who signed off on this?

True to style for Oblivion's character creator. Oblivion's always had a...reputation with character looks, including the ability to make abominations in their character creator.

Keeping that was likely a design choice to appeal to the fandom.

oblivion had stock faces for every race, and they looked fine.

here they look like some mashup of pixar and furry art with animations that remind me of the ones from fallout 1.

Yeah, and I mostly love it. I've never liked Khajit or Argonians for that exact reason.

I mean...what did you exactly expect of a faithful remaster of the game, 4k textures with anime-styled aesthetics with body modifications such as FF14 or something..?

It's NOT a faithful remaster.

We DID get "anime-styled aesthetics with body modifications" and that's the issue.

We did? Where's my boob slider then? Where's my heterochromia? Where's my skin tight latex suit?

Why can't I make my anime waifu with flawless skin and no smile lines!?

TES have always had iffy faces, that's partially why body/face mods are so popular, even in Skyrim.

Would have been neat to see Starfield's character creator, we got TES instead. Lol

I see these threads trying to suggest that the art is AI generated every now and then. Do you have any actual proof of this?

Did you mean to say "khajiit"?

Depends, the Argonias are very nicely generated but the Orcs are pretty bad and some of the women NPCs looks as if they were intentionally made to be Ugly.

TES Orcs are more like WH Orks. Meant to have an underbite, jowels, etc. Not the "greenskin fantasy" death by snuu-snuu orcs we might see in like...certain D&D campaigns.

Some faces look fine, some faces look decent, some faces look very lame (elves really were dealt the short end of the stick) - all look better than the original, though.

Bethesda has always had ugly characters. The originals were way worse though.
