Why did they make mer so much more manlike in ESO?

>cutscene shot
unironically kill yourself
morrowind LITERALLY looked like every other game released in that time period
did you even play eso or are you just regurgitating whatever Zig Forums tells you

because come on, Mer are fucking disgusting to look at

But that's one of the things what makes them good and unique

bruh the females look like the same slightly altered model

Friend, please, stop.
Entirety of Morrowinds artstyle was carried by the extremely sketchy look of Michael Kirkbrides concept art mixed with the very atmospheric direction by Matthew Carofano and character art of Christiane Meister, all of them are amazing artists and by no means generic for the industry.
Sadly during Oblivion Todd and Co. decided to go for a more generic approach, but when they got panned universally for it they fired the french fuck that did ugly as shit concept art for Oblivion and hired Adam Adamowicz to be the lead artist for Shivering Isles and onwards, hence why Shivering Isles looks so much better. Sadly Adam Adamowicz has passed away due to cancer.
ESO has no art direction, it is mostly composed of high profile artists being hired to regurgitate existing art from older games into new assets, this practice is so notorious that half of the splash screens and art-wallpapers for the game universally are photobashes of existing assets and models. The only artists that ESO employed in a stable manner that could have been said to create a sort of "atmosphere" are Jeremy Fenkse and that guy who did art for the early DLCs up until Summerset chapter, but both of them look extremely generic.

Is this the TES thread?

Additionally things get even worse because they employ guys like Studio blur which are entirely an outsourced Studio that use the most notorious
>quick, get this shit out of the door and make it look as "epic" and "AAA" as possible even if it is soulless
tactics to make their visuals. Now Blur is trully amazing and you get your bang for your buck as far as quality goes, but they are creatively absolutely bankrupt and are a bad fit for TES.

So, Dwemer playable race when?
Can't wait to play Dwemer Warden

Yes
Skyrim has objectively superior artstyle to ESO in every manner, the fact that ESO reuses skyrim assets but makes them somehow look worse should tell you a lot.

Kill mer.

>So Vivec, who had a grain of Ayem's mercy, set about to teach Molag Bal in the ways of belly-magic. They took their spears out and compared them. Vivec bit new words onto the King of Rape's so that it might give more than ruin to the uninitiated. This has since become a forbidden ritual, though people still practice it in secret.
>Here is why: The Velothi and demons and monsters that were watching all took out their own spears. There was much biting and the earth became wet. And this was the last laugh of Molag Bal:
>'Watch as the earth shall crack, heavy with so much power, that should have been forever unalike!'
What did they mean with this?
Hopefully never. I'd be glad if we could interact with them at some point but never play as them. In lore, they're supposed to be utterly alien and with a very different moral code. Their dullest minds are more brilliant than our smartest yadda yadda

I said art style retard, I gave no opinion on the game itself. Learn to read and don't get your panties up your ass any time someone dislikes any single aspect of a game you like.

>people get mad eso made the mer look better
>these same people use ethereal elven overhaul
HMMMMMMMMM

>Made mer look better
Mer should look weird, they look COOL when they are weird

The best thing about mer is the fact that they aren't just beautiful humans with slightly pointier ears. Fuck skyrim mods that do that.

>not posting Bosmer with antlers
Faggot.
But the skin palette is abysmally washed out in ESO

>make a manly looking female elf
>"hurr why do they look manly"
God I hate this board.

Dunmer still have super angular faces comparatively? Ethereal elven overhaul makes it so Skyrim’s ugly ass artstyle is a little less pronounced.

Manlike as in looking like men (humans), not like men (males). You wouldn't be confused if merlike was said instead

>kikebride
opinion discarded

While we're on this topic, i'd like to say thay i kinda dislike how argonians went from clearly aquatic, colorful fish-lizards to dull dinosaur people in skyrim, they even replaced their fins with feathers

Because Zenimax doesn't know what real elves look like
