ESO: Alliances Cinematic Trailer Analysis - Part 3

    Use the previous/next buttons at the bottom to scroll through parts.

    Our first look at ESO's Bosmer. Finally they're portrayed as the badasses they were meant to be - the look like your classic barbarian type guy, with leather armor, a skull helm, and a brutal looking falchion-type blade over his back.

    Here we can see the Altmer hero in the trailer (hereby referred to as 'the spellsword') blasting a couple of Imperial troops with some kind of green lightning incineraty ray. They've done quite a good job of differentiating the distinct apparel styles of the different elves.

    Our first look at ESO's Imperials. Once again borrowing heavily from Skyrim's look.

    Imperial light armor looks alot better this time around though.
