Still no news on beast styles?

Post » Thu Aug 11, 2011 7:02 am

So there've been a few hands-on previews where the players picked either Argonian or Khajiit. Unfortunately, the question I've had (which may affect my purchase) hasn't been answered yet. Will Argonians and Khajiit have the beast-like legs they had in Morrowind, or even a compromise between the beast-like legs and the ability to wear shoes? I might have said it before, but my major gripe with Oblivion was that, while Argonians and Khajiit could wear shoes, they were just humans with animal heads. I'm hoping this time around that they have proper paws/claws, while still being able to wear footwear of some sort (Perhaps specially adapted for them). As such I won't really be satisfied until I see a full-body pic of either of these races.

That's all I have to ask really, I just want my cat-people to be far more cat-like than they were in Oblivion. XD

No, it's pretty much confirmed that the legs are human-style. So no beast-legs. Nothing OFFICIAL official, but numerous reviewers have said as such.

Okay, so they'll have human style legs. That's alright. But what about their feet? Are we gonna get ugly human feet again, or will they at least resemble paws/claws to some extent?

Bethesda confirmed that though they had wanted to do Beast legs, the time constraints simply did not allow for it.

We'll have to wait for screenshots to see how the races look.

Aww, that's a shame. Ah well. Whenever I draw my character I'll just pretend he has beast legs/feet. There were some projects in Oblivion to make Argonian feet more beast-like, but I never saw anything similar for Khajiits. Hopefully we'll get a better mod for that this time around.

Have you figured it out...majority of the people who play TES do not care about either race, so that is why we haven't heard too much about them in the demos. I could give a rat's ass what legs they have just as long as the game is good.

Actually not at all true, if you pay attention to how many people have been clamoring up the forums wanting Argonian pics. The beast races are very popular, apart from a small but vocal minority who seems to hate them

Beast legs I can understand, but there is no excuse not to have beast feet.
