Khajiit are way cooler than they get credit for.

Khajiit are awesome! They've always been the most polite of all the races,and they harbor no racism,(unlike a certain group of elves and nords).They've survived slavery in morrowind,prejudice in skyrim,and they are still a strong intelligent race.I just can't understand they hate they get.They have the best overall racial abilities,(except for magic).Night eye is always useful in dark caves,and 15+ damage claws are more powerful than any early game weapons,and move way faster than warhammers.The lore shows them as strong willed,intelligent,and powerful rave and civilization.This is part of why I play as a khajiit,to show the races of men and mer that khajiit are more than thieves,assassins and skooma dealers. Why do they get hate?

They're cats, who walk upright, look badass, are always polite, have awesome voices in Skyrim. What's not to like about them? I like them over dunmer and argonians.

Well, most people judge things by their looks. And Khajiti look pretty weird. (Especially in the older games.) People don't know their culture, and thinks of them as poor retards and criminals as they are shown in Skyrim. But, the lore and the previous games of course show this stereotype is wrong.

So, people dislike what they don't know, and even hate it when it looks weird. I hope I got your answer :)

Now you're generalizing. It's like saying all altmer are mages, which of course isn't true either.

My heart fills with joy whenever i see Khajiit(s) , as they are friendly & usually have funny things to say. Which especially in Skyrim, is some much needed personality in a dreary land.

I prefer sabre cat, bear or miraak pelts.

Nope, every single Khajiit who ever lived was a criminal.

which is funny. There are no khajiits in the thieves guild. There are no khajiits with the Dark Brotherhood. On rare occasion I think a female khajiit assassin has attacked me but 99% of the time they are argonians. But officially in the guild, not one khajiit. And every time I get stopped on the road by a skooma dealer its 99% of the time an orc.

Same here. I enjoy the encounters with them and am sad when forced to put one down.

My last xbox character got stopped by Khajiit thieves plenty of times which I said I'm part of the guild and they replied saying that they have seen her in the guild.

I always see Khajiit and Bosmer skooma dealers.

Khajiit have always been my favourite race lore-wise. I usually play Nords though because.... Those beards. Gotta love them. :P

But I really do miss his great grandfather, M'Aiq liar. I always looked for him every once in a while in the previous games.

A few bad apples.. ;)

Khajiit are my favorite race to play since morrowind. Even if the other races wound up with better benefits and abilites... in the end I enjoy a character that sometimes goes out of bounds (aka against the racial profiles)

Khajiit mage was the only one I had do the full mage guild line, another was the first to do all the companions... and now playing a sneak/assassin kitty that will do all of skyrim's content cause she's bored and looking for things to keep her entertained.

to paraphrase form XXX- state of the union : why play with her life, when she can play with other's lives

I agree. In fact, I'm playing a khajiit right now and I think it's it to redo my favorite list.

May your road lead you to warm sands...Because this one will bury you in them :D

I don't think they have awesome voices, if any thing I think they sound a bit slimy!

Just created my first Khajiit today. I have to admit, at first they didn't appeal to me but now I'm really liking the Khajiit. Not fond of their voice though but oh well.

M'aiq agrees.

M'aiq also plays as a Argonian, Imperial, and Wood Elf.

Khajiit are so frickin' awesome, it's not even funny. But I disagree about the natural abilities, I think Night Eye's kind of weak. I wish they had something like greater movement speed, since cats are more agile than people.

Because people[despite what they claim] love violence, and everything that normally makes you revolted. Khajiit tend to be nice, and thus, deemed as weak and undesirable based on barbaric yawp.

One thing I love about Skyrim is how they added some lines to describe other provinces, like you can ask Khajiit about Elsweyr, and they will say things like how they have cities so ancient that were buried by the sand. One line is all you need to inspire limitless imaginations. Anyways, beast races may be prejudiced in game, but they are the most interesting things in TES universe. They aren't necessarily my favorites, but definitely most interesting.

They seem shifty and untrustworthy, like their friendliness and politeness is a facade. They also seem dirty and like they'd have fleas. Also they usually seem wimpy to me, I like brutish rugged people, and khajit don't seem like that(despite their "beast" status, not very beastly).

I agee they seem intelligent, maybe too intelligent, and they are also dangerous and I respect them as foes but don't really like them.
