Are elves aliens?

[Bab Peeg]

Why do they look so awful makes me want to puke.

I believe elves in fantasy are based on Asians? At least it seems that way.

Elves look better in the Morrowind and Oblivion Elder Scrolls games. Try Etherial Elven Overhaul to undo some of what Bethesda did to Elves in Skyrim.

Imagine what they think when they see the revoltingness of *gags* humans...

[howyoufeel]

probably better looking than you anyway

[Master Talon]

think of them as Vulkans from Star Trek ;)

Ask Mork from Ork. he can tell you, he knows about all alien races and says elves is a secret name for an alien race.......lol

[Docsprock]

Although he made a lot of money off of a ton of records, I doubt Elvis was an alien.

Sure you aren't looking directly at the face of one of those horribly mutated Falmer?

Depends: Which can you PC run?
If it can handle SE then go for it. It has a FAR more optimized engine which runs better than an oldrim modded with graphic mods.

I think you responded to the wrong thread?

What the... how did THAT happen? O.O

About elves... they are nightmare fuel in most titles.
In Skyrim they can get a decent look by a face texture mod.

I see that Warhammer40k reference there. lol

I'm glad they look different. Elves in other fantasy settings are essentially "pretty humans with pointy ears" and that's it.

I'm glad Bethesda stepped outside the box for them here.

Though, if someone wants to make their game look like every other fantasy game, that's their choice.

In the movies they do it that way to make the makeup less painful for the actors.
