Dissapointed That Nocturnal Looks Like a Budget Cosplayer

molag bals and mephalas models were great, so they can make amazing models

Molag Bal and Mephala had great detailed models so they could sell their respective statues. Same goes for the Assembly General. A giant dwemer centurion with glowing streaks here and there wouldn't look as impressive in statue and CGI form.

It wouldn't take much effort to grab a shrike and recolor her to look like nocturnal. Clavicus vile is a simple model yet is fitting

agreed @Aliyavana she's very plain and it doesnt seem like there was much effort to capture her essance

Aliyavana

I hope she is updated today. If this is the final product ima be disappointed because my redguard can pull off that dress better

Thanks for some spoilers... I even briefly read who's the main villain grrrrrr!

I will stop reading these kind of threads in the future.

I agree the Nocturnal's appearance was pretty bad, but even worse, her role didn't make much sense or mesh with established lore.

If anything, Mephala should have been the one who betrayed the triad, given she is associated with murder, betrayal, and fate.

Moreover, the whole primordial darkness/preceding the creation of oblivion angle didn't previously apply to Nocturnal. That is Namira's domain.

Granted, Nocturnal is the Daedric Prince of night and shadow, but she has always been more associated with thieves and luck rather than inter-planar domination.

Nocturnal's characterization and appearance leave much to be desired. I am not sure why ZOS has decided to give her the traits of already established Princes. It is almost like they had plenty of crow, swamp, ghost, and wisp assets and didn't want to develop something more unique that would fit a more appropriate choice of Daedric Prince.

I was also expecting more of Mephala, but I think we haven't seen the last of her and Vile. As for Nocturnal, I guess she was the protagonist, so to speak, because of her involvement in the CWC story and discovering Sotha-Sil's secret. For me that made sense because even if she is not as 'aggressive' in her domination plans like other Princes, she worked in the shadows for a long time to prepare for her strike, so it was fitting in that way. Regarding her appearance, I think she looked good but unremarkable, especially for a Daedric Prince; outfit submissions for that contest a while back had more imagination and thought put to them than this. I didn't mind not fighting her directly though--Veya was really starting to *** me off by the end of the story

Agree!

No one sees issue with this? xD

Apart from some hair, what I think she really needs to go with that robe is some boxing gloves

Well that picture you got is one of Nocturnal's three appearances. Tho i agree it's bit disappointing, it seems better in this one?

I blurt-laughed when I saw this in-game.

Uh... it's a little questionable that some of you seem more concerned that she's a Redguard and not a white woman like she was in Skyrim. Daedric Princes can have many forms.

I do agree the texture and colors on the robes looks bad (and the poses are laughable) and it looks like there was very little attention to detail with the model in general. But insisting that Nocturnal can only appear as a pale white woman with long dark hair is VERY transparent.

I mean, the npc in skyrim was a redguard. It says so in the game's files.

Edit: Also, again, it's not about Nocturnal being a redguard. It's about how poor the model is. Both Mephala and Vile have pretty good to great character models, and then you look at Nocturnal and she looks like that.

That's interesting, but her appearance was not that of a typical Redguard (pale skin), which is why so many people in these comments seem to be mentioning that she's a Redguard (black woman.)

You're right, but several people have commented or danced around not wanting her to be black (or saying it's "weird"). I understand most people are upset about the way the model looks, but there are quite a few comments who have other issues in mind.

In this case idc if she's a redguard but she looks just like a common redguard

The spider everything tbh. Did she weave her own dress or did her daedra make it for her is the real question.

she probably weaves it herself if you know what I mean

Mephala looks so badass and nocturnal just eh... looks like she had an accident and wanted to cover it lel
and who cares if she is a redguard, i wouldnt even care if she would be an orc as long as she looks like a daedra and not like a cosplayer

darkstar2084

Well I guess you can say she is a deadric prince and take whatever form they want. but its kind of hilarious looking at the statue, shirkes and the default redguard model

That pretty much seems to be the norm. Never has a single house been changed or improved despite numerous posts of feedback on them from PTS. I have to wonder why they even bother asking.

Agreed. Nocturnal looks awful
