Why is it that when they “remaster” old as shit games, they always end up eating up way more storage space, requiring top of the line graphics, and all that to look worse? (Well, I like the Khajiits in the Oblivion remaster, but I just really like anthro kitties no matter how they’re drawn. The Argonians look less boopable in the remaster.) Not to mention requiring much newer everything than the original. Not everyone’s got a brand new computer, you guys! Especially people still playing really old games!
Would you be learn that it’s the profit motive? Make some dogshit game that coasts on nostalgia, don’t give enough time to artists or programmers because quarterly profit, and maybe depending on who’s publishing and what the deal is, use the whole thing to help push new consoles (and besides, making things more broadly compatible means more time and money spent)
Daaamn you made me look up the khajit because I hadn’t seen them and you’re right they look really good.
This almost got me to play the remaster but then I realised the modding community for it is dead as fuck because the mixture of UE and Gamebryo made it too difficult to mod and people don’t care enough about it to learn or push through the barriers.
Yep. The khajiit look a lot like ESO humanoid khajiit, which are… certainly more “anime catgirl/catboy” than older ES khajiit models. But, the fur isn’t as detailed, and I like my bipedal kitties made of fluffy, lol.
well you can choose between being a jungle cat or a desert cat atleast ugh bethesda please why did you make 12 different furstocks in lore if you’re going to give us the same cathay every time??
Actually in Morrowind we see the suthay-raht, who are unique in being digitigrades so they can’t use normal shoes. In Arena and Daggerfall we see the ohmes and ohmes-raht furstocks, known for being so elf-like that they tend to tattoo themselves to avoid any chance of being mistaken for elves.
And then in ESO we see a whole bunch of different furstocks, because ESO is incredible.
But yeah I agree, I think there should be a lot of options for Khajiit characters. Especially NPCs, there should be a couple of every furstock to be found in every game IMO. Yeah, not many alfiq would want to travel and have to deal with foreigners who would treat them like housecats, but there would be a few, especially traveling among other Khajiit. Especially when we keep in mind that even two cathay can make an alfiq child (or any other furstock), so families should look very diverse when we see them.
ESO is pretty fun this is true, you also have a butt slider in that game.
There’s a couple of mods for Morrowind that allow you to play as most of the furstock and the Tamriel Rebuilt stuff (Cyrodil and Skyrim too) use a lot more varied forms of khajiit, so that’s something.
Ooh, I’ll have to look into that. I’m not super into ES lore but I love playing Khajiits. They’re just so hug shaped and I love them. Plus, “punch kitty” is a damned funny melee build, and the whole “sneaks and thieves” thing and “cat burglar” means that stealth builds are lore justified as a Khajiit, lol.
Alfiq mob boss who pretends to be a rich, senile old lady’s housecat. You are contracted by the watch to find proof the old lady is running her deceased husband’s organization.
You and I have similar brains, I’ve thought about this sort of concept before. I imagined it as like an alfiq spy, though. Sell some rich asshole a housecat and somehow all their secrets keep leaking.

Kitties
Them’s the best! Hug shaped! (Also, I love how I look in cat ears. Specifically tiger ears. I make a cute Tigger.)

Think I’ll pass. But those khajit do look good.

They look like they just said “fuck it let’s lean into the furries”.
They do. But, eh, hug shaped cats are hug shaped cats, I just want to see something fuzzy.
i did dislike the mane that they’re all given, thankfully you could mod that out
Wait they all have to have manes in the remaster? But a lot of khajiit shave their manes to show reverence for their spiritual leader!
Being a lore nerd is nothing but pain and suffering.
im not sure if it’s a mane but eh
Pretty sure if it’s long enough to braid you’d count that as a mane haha
