Xbox.IGN has kicked up some thoughts after getting some hands-on time with Oblivion at Microsoft's X05 Xbox 360 event:Afterwards the camera made a sweeping shot of a gear like palace made of white rock with a large spire at the center. We then launched into the game's character creation system. It was set up with the menu options on the left and a large head portrait of your created character on the right. Players could choose between Khajiit, Nord, Imperial, Orc, Redguard, Wood Elf, Argonian, Breton, Dark Elf, or High Elf for their race. After selecting a gender the face could be customized to very specific proportions. It was possible to manipulate your face's shape and tone, as well as the cheeks, eyes, forehead, tone of beard, eyes and eyebrows, lips and nose. You could also change the hair style and color along with your character's age and skin complexion. Overall it was extremely detailed and allowed for highly specific customizations. |
