How the hell do you make a good-looking female Dunmer?

✭✭✭✭✭Leskandera used to be pretty, but then she took a burning building to the face and chest...
(No, really. That is part of her backstory)
In any case, "looking good" is an entirely subjective thing... just play around in chargen until your character looks like you envision them! And if they don't, play around some more.
However... remember that dunmer are indeed more likely to have somber dispositions, and tend to show that on their face.

ntheogenic✭✭✭✭✭This is the best that I could do:
IIRC the only way to make them look somehow human is to move the circle for the facial structure as far away from "angular" (i.e. bat face) as possible. So put it somewhere on the left edge between heroic and soft.GDBY11 -

She's my main and I created her in 2014Well I have been trying to make a nice female toon, race doenst matter but sofar not really succeeded. But the above Dunmer is a looker. Any tips which sliders you used ?
I don't really remember much about the settings..
But I usually create my chars like this:
1) Pre-select and lock a few basic settings such as:
- Shape of the face (in case of Dunmer, use something between heroic and soft)
- Eye-Color / Hair-Color / Skin Color..
- A hairstyle that is not covering the face and ears too much
- no tattoos, no jewelry and other modifications
2) Then I hit "randomize" until I see something that I like.
3) I figure out what I like about it and then lock those settings in (e.g. nose looks good => lock the nose settings)
4) Go to step 2) until you are satisfied / all settings are locked
5) do some fine tuning
I never succeed when I try to make a character with a specific look. So I let the RNG help me out for once GDBY6 -

✭✭✭✭✭Its not easy but possible. Skyrim was the game that decided Dark Elves needed more differentiation to High Elves so Bethesda gave them Klingon bones in their foreheads. ZOS had to conform to this trumping design decisionRickterESO

Ivehn✭✭✭I like that Dark Elves have their own distinct appearance, but it's true that it's tricky to soften that furrowed brow look. For my character I chose the 'soft' angle for the facial features, a flatter forehead, and an eyebrow shape that was not very arched, to achieve a milder expression. I was really pleased with how she turned out:

Mivryna✭✭✭It's their bone structure. Dunmer always have an arched brow ridge shape. A completely softened face and the right eyebrows might help though.1

✭✭All Dunmer are gorgeous, OP.
But, you're a n'wah, so I can see how you'd be blind to the beauty of our Dunmer women.

✭✭✭✭That's because the CGI trailers never got elves right. They aren't supposed to look "good", i.e. the Hollywood interpretation of an American high school teenager.
Delte Fyr is the best looking Dunmer you should expect.
OMG I want to play Morrowind again.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis5 -

First.. hats off to the developer for the mod and the very good level of graphic/design. Now, aside from Khajit and Argonian (sorry, not hating, though. I like my women hairless, and no lusty Argonian maid.. ha ha), you can make any toon into a supermodel or a beefcake stud. You can definitely make a sexy supermodel lookalike female Dark Elf. Soft face, green eyes, chest and exterior posterior all the way to the right.. done! Ha haEdited by GreenhaloX on April 14, 2017 1:34PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The randomizer can be your friend. What I do is use the randomizer on each individual facial point until I get the look I'm after (because I suck at doing it manually). Then I 'lock' that facial point and move on to the next. Repeat until you have the look you're after. The body is the easy part.
