Mostly truth. The first khajiit just looked like a human with tatoos. The ones in DF looked exactly like humans, with a tail, and very light, tan fur that covered their entire body except for their neck and head. They also had facial tatoos. Here's a pic of one for example: http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8113/level14unarmoured.png. But as Proweler pointed out, they bendied them in Redguard. It's only in OB that they removed it.

As for argonians, they've had the most wide changes than any other race. In Arena, they were nothing but grey scaled humans. In DF they were almost like OB's argonians, only completely green, had claws, briasts (no nips), and only red eyes. Here's an example of a DF argonian http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/Grikok/MW%20Screen%20Shots/DFArgonianStalk.jpg. In Redguard, the only argonian in that game looked like a humanoid crocodile. And unlike the khajiit, they didn't get bendy till MW.

double post, please ignore.

They already explained away the changes to argonians though, the way they look when they mature depends on how many times they've lick hist trees. Assuming the ones who never come into contact with a hist tree take after their parents, in a since they've never been changed, just a different group of argonians.

Still, pointing out that the only time argonians got bendy was in MW.

Not sure why it's an argument though?

"We've only done it once so we don't have to do it again".
"We've only done it once so we have to do it again".

Neither follows.

No no no no no, you got it all wrong. The heel-knee now needs to bend forward, not backward.

It doesn't need to do anything. It's whatever design the devs want it to be. Its been done both ways before, and they can change it as they wish, as they have done with just about every iteration of the series.

I was being silly <_<

Well i find the settings in morrowind more interesting, althought they give a little more work to the devs.
And its true they only appear beastlike in morrowind.
I wonder how the beastlike would perform with ragdoll tech.

hmm no skeletons? must be because ther made of gel. maybe they're bones are very appetizing to buggs n such that feed on decaying bodies...and so they get eaten really quickly, and dont have the oppertunty to reanimate? good question tho.
