I feel like Khajit got screwed over for racials

Can anyone explain to me how Night Eye is useful? Unless you happen to like the blue-ish hue, I dont even find that it makes things that much easier to see, nor are there many situations where it is hard to see.

Meh, they're okay, what I really hate is that they can't get married :/



They can. My khajiit is married to Aela the Huntress.

The racials are pretty pathetic. I've used Night Eye once to see what it looked like, haven't touched it since. I just turned the gamma up on my tv and now I can see in the dark anyway. The claw attack is cool in bar brawls, but other than that it's all together useless since they took out unarmed being a skill.

25% to mercantile is a little ridiculous. Maybe a little lower would be okay. Lowering fall damage and increase to run speed would be much more appropriate.

The claw damage buff is actually kind of OP I think. Early game it's hard to find ANYTHING that deals 15 damage, much less that quickly. Combined with the heavy armor perk and you can out damage Daedric Warhammers with your claws.

I think that's a nice trade for losing Eye of Fear, though admittedly that would have been nice too.

Absolutely agree here. I don't think some of you understand just how good fifteen damage with no weapon can be. Combine that with the pugilist gloves you find in the Ratways that give you plus ten to your unarmed damage? You're doing twenty five damage unarmed. That's quite a chunk of damage. You can kill someone who has one hundred health in four swings. Less if you use power attacks. I have killed easily over ten dragons using only unarmed from levels five through fifteen or twenty. Sure, later on once you start finding some higher damage weapons and you combine that with a sneak attack bonus, it's not smart to continue using unarmed, but if you'd like to make a brawler character, Khajiit make it ridiculously easy to do so.

I'm level twenty five and I've only just recently started using daggers on my thief Khajiit, and there was only a handful of situations where I wished I had a weapon. Night-Eye's been a classic for Khajiits, so I'm glad it's still there, and honestly the claws racial makes perfect sense considering they're... y'know... cat people. You already get bonuses to stealth skills just for picking one, so one could assume if one were to pick one you were planning on being more on the sneaky side anyway (not saying everyone who picks a Khajiit is going to play like a thief, just that the skill bonuses encourage it).

Your ideas are usable. Only thing I like to add on them is 30% weakness to frost for both beast races - cats and lizards are not cold-loving creatures.
