Pretty female High Elf - possible?

maboleth

It's hard to give any directives on creating a character. You just have to play and "feel" you got it right.
Sculpting and face proportion helps. Also knowing the "limits" and core features of each race (for example, dark elves have a pronounced brow ridge so you will have to either emphasize or try to hide it). But yes, different people, different needs and different kind of beauty.

At least you can play for free on a new character, meaning you don't have to play 1000 crowns to edit it again.

Thanks everyone for your Posts and screenshots. They helped me to get smth from eveyrthing and some people also helped me via PMs to adjust my last char a lot, esp thanks @Mureel .

AND also i found the #1 problem of why my chars (sorry Altmers) looked so crappy. I changed UserSettings for insane FPS boost, and textures of world overall didn't change a lot or at all, but character's textures changed drastically. So my chars -
Altmers (especially, but other races too) - looked like real crap.

So the reason partially were Tweaks in UserSettings file -

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/370924/performance-tweaks-lite-for-pc/p1 - NOT THOSE exactly, they are fine and enough for both FPS + awesome graphic, but ones expanded by some link in that thread. Use just those TL:DR ones.

- they give insane FPS boost (usually 70-150 FPS from 40-60 fps without them, less in fights, but also boost), but they make your chars look like crap. Will disable them while creating chars or may be will tweak a bit here-there.

P.S - here's example how THE SAME char (will delete her and replace with the last one, just as example) looks with Normal UserSettings and with Tweaked for FPS boost





P.S.S - I will finish the char i linked on previous page later - tweaked her and she looks pretty shiny - and may be post her screenshot with Normal UserSettings later

Mer look better with age. Typical menfolk have an obsession with juveniles.

In addition to other wonderful things about my character Irredeemably Bananners's appearance, those eyelashes that stick outside the blindfold move around a lot due to using the jester festival personality. Wonderfully bonkers.

@Mureel I have never seen any way to put what looks like makeup like that on any of my characters. How did you do that? She's beautiful!

After trying a while i had managed to get a decently looking dunmer tho (i think).

Unluckily she will be killed soon because wrong faction

The hardest end-game content for me in ESO is making a beautiful pretty simple Altmer girl.

They all look like crazy angry lemurs with huge eyes and lips and... any sliders, presets, examples (or sites with that) that one could look at or even copy and change to it's taste further?



UPD: my message on 2-nd page contains the reason and examples of why my chars looked even worse and frustrated me even more - those were coz of FPS tweaks in UserSettings file - just watch an example in that message

sounds like you managed to make orc females sexy or dunmer...hell or argonians.

So a random person created an ugly Altmer and a pretty Breton. What does that show exactly?

If you want a pretty female Altmer, drag your face triangle to the soft corner, like the poster above told you. It will give her a round face with no jagged features, just like the Breton, except unlike a Breton face, you can give an Altmer face some angularity too (Breton faces are super round).

Read the full sentences pls, it's just 1 of hundreds examples, just open google "eso altmer female" or even somewhere here in forums. Almost all of them are the same (rarely there are good though). Almost all also have this sh, that can't get rid of :




P.S - 'toggle 1 slider to soft' is not a question in the topic, it's kinda soft-angular on many female chars usually, but possibly there are no such sites as asked, but will be some people offended at their virtual race critisized

what? *** not your thing?

jaschacasadiob16_ESO

If you google eso altmer female what comes out is a list of images that shows that people are trying to create Altmers as if they were Bretons or Nords. Check out the eyebrows. The hair styles. The cheekbones. The eyes.

Stop Bretonizing Altmers.

the only thing bad about high elf females is the creepy eyes.

Pretty happy with mine. Admititly, I went for Snow Elf

TES elves have never had the classic high fantasy 'tall beautiful waifish human with pointy ear' elf look, they have always been a bit bug eyed and harsh looking.

At least in ESO, there are decent options for creating elves compared to some of the earlier games.

I love my altmer

Altmer, Bosmer, and Imperial are the easiest in my experience (Breton too, but it’s harder to get them to look unique). Not sure how you could be having trouble with that.

May be the definition of "pretty" is different for everyone. Instead, have no troubles with any other race at all.

Saw a lot of and made some pretty chars of many races, but almost never saw a pretty High Elf made by anyone aswell

1 of examples of smth from TES itself, that doesn't look bad (could not achieve even close):



Example from some random site between what 1 person created as Altmer and what as Breton (huge difference imo):

Yo come on dude that breton is in like 4000k and that elf is totally on console. Plus thats like the best looking breton ive ever seen I actually don’t believe thats not photoshopped

Yes. Our pompous, light-skinned cousins are tramps and street walkers. They're easy indeed.

Although most altmer females have a face like a guar chewing a thistle!
