i have tried making a beautiful breton mage, and a high elven one in the char creation. but they look so bad in game, i had to restart over and over. eventually i ended up making a nord once more. the problem is now that nords aren't fit to be mages , and that sorta break the lore of their race a bit for me.

i wonder how long is gonna be before we start getting beauty and better hairstyles mods.

Real soon, I'm guessing. Female face textures in this game are seriously hideous.

i agree totally,

i just restarted playing as a male nord to get a different perspective. i wish i had preordered an english version of the game from amazon.uk the voice acting done in the spanish dubbed lame version we got is downright horrible.

I agree. I have a Nord now (http://oi43.tinypic.com/1ibrqp.jpg) who I wanna make a mage (since mages are typically all I ever play...) or even a rogue if a mage is too difficult, and I'm just a little bit concerned with the starting stats...I mean Stealth I could do, but +10 in two-handed? Really? I'll never use that! They have no stealth/magic skills at all...so I guess it doesn't matter if I'm a mage or an assassin. Its bound to make things interesting, anyway, because I refuse to do melee. Anyway my main is a Dunmer mage and she's faring quite well... she's not the prettiest thing to look at but compared to most of the Dark Elves I see around Skyrim she's not completely horrible. http://oi39.tinypic.com/e7xkwk.jpg <---that's her.

she looks quite good, and take it as a compliment because it is mission impossible to make any of the elven races look half decent, attractive or somewhat cute. i tried many times and even though they looked cute at first sigh during the char creation screen, once you are in game and expose them to all the different lights. they look like horrible. so no more elven for me no more bretons.

at first i thought breton and imperials were cute , but once more, in game my 72 year old grandma looks like paris hilton compared to them

only way to make a decent, or a preety female character is with the nords. i haven't try redguards yet but like i say that bretons and imperials seem to share some wierd wrinkles in their forehead and there is no way to disguise that unfortunetely.

i will make a male breton for my next character play. hopefully by that time, there will be some good beauty mods available for us to use.

I felt absolutely the same way.. luckily there are already mods available, that make Bretons (and other races) valid again.. http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=58 and http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=140#content.
