A comparison of currently released character faces from Skyrim with Morrowind and Oblivion.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
To celebrate the 23rd anniversary of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the mod team Tamriel Rebuilt has launched a new expansion.
IGN : How does the new The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, released in 2025 for Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, Steam, and PS5, compare to the original 2006 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion released on Xbox 360, played via Xbox Series X/S Backwards Compatibility?
I remember when I first started playing Oblivion I used to stop and look at the vista's and marvel at how good the NPC's looked. Skyrim makes those characters look decidedly crap.
This game is gonna be awesome...
aw man i forgot how morrowind looked until i restarted it a couple days ago
can't wait for skyrim
First elder scolls with great looking characters, the ugly npc's have been a real flaw of this series.
Finally no more beautiful people mods :P
I never understood that huge ape like snout they all had, hideous.
I never liked the obvious cut between head and chest in Oblivion.
I guess it's because they had 100+ face-models, and much fewer body-models. I know it's a fantasy game, but when a 70 year old woman has perfect breasts, it breaks some of the immersion.
Most of the new male characthers in Skyrim reminds me of your average Unreal troll, on this characther-sheet, I hope there is normal muscularity on the people aswell.
Anyway, looking forward to Skyrim.
