A changing beauty of Orc women.

Aigym_Hlervu

Hey, guys! Wandering around Orsinium quite a long time ago I've found those strange Orcs in pink dresses and their women.. Well, the Orcish women! I know they were, say it frankly, the ugliest creatures in Tamriel of the late Third Era with only 25 starting points of personality. Even the mask of Clavicus Vile couldn't do anything I guess. Telvanni Bug Musk? No, no, it won't work.. Sujamma's better at this. Cyrodiil of the same time period showed them even more creepy so not even 10 bottles of sujamma could have made them at least a bit more appealing - Orc males were likely to be strongly addicted alcoholics to ever date those huge green monsters. But what do we see in the Fourth or the Second Era? High Priestess Solgra is cute enough for an orc woman. And that tender voice! So unusual to me.. Anyway modern Orc women are much more attractive. What's happened to beauty standards, have I missed something? This is how an Orc woman appeared years ago:

Hmmm...Argonian or Orconian? I think you may be on to something.

Not sure if this is serious or not...

You could take literally any race from the old games and compare them to ESO - they all look better
So no great Orc mystery here.

ESO made all the Mer races a lot nicer looking. Then again, Oblivion made everyone ugly.

That's actually the Future though.

P.S. - I'm sure Orcs are quite attractive to other Orcs in any case

just cause you wouldn't hit that is Your problem

TES games (until ESO) had horrible facial designs.

I'm really hoping TES VI is a step up.

I'd go more with ruggedly handsome as a descriptor, but all orcs are beautiful one way or another.

Also, agreed with the point that Oblivion made everything look awful. I modded the base face/head settings once to try and make things less awful, and it worked for my character ... everyone else, though, looked like their faces imploded. Oops. Back to the drawing board...

Skyrim was a significant improvement, and ESO an improvement in many ways over that. Just the natural evolution of technology and art style.

In "Elder Scrolls: Blades" all orc faces look like mutants from Fallout 3.

ESO Orsimer have the prettiest eyes.

Thank you guys for your replies! Starting this talk I meant if I was right that beauty and attractiveness are no more a numerical characteristic but a more player tastes matter. Now I think they are indeed. The Mask of Clavicus Vile is obsolete then, I suppose. Well-well.. What relics else are to become useless ahead?.. Anyway, I'm pleased the Orc women and all the races generally got a better appearance - this is much more important than that Mask anyway.

sry to say. skyrim races are mainly best. they are edgy and diverse. skyrim orks, also the female ones, look brutal. eso only commercialized the races, nothing more, nothing less.
