Do Khajiit live in normal houses?

Does anyone know what kind of homes do the khajiit have? Huts? Normal Houses? treehouses?

Thanks

In so far as I've read they live pretty much anywhere: huts, houses, tents, bed rolls. Not sure about treehouses though.

You mean in like Elsweyr? I'd imagine their buildings to be made of sandstone.

We have a mention of tents in the novels, but that applies to nomadic Khajiit. The Infernal City also describes some Khajiiti houses in border cities (Riverwatch and Rimmen), which seem "normal" if exotic. Of course, there's also the ESO screenshots.

Never seen those screens. They look nice. Remind me of http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/092/6/d/Padang_House__Indonesia_by_atmajakurniawan.jpg houses.

Glad they didn't go with the run-of-the-mill African/Indian interpretation for Elsweyr.

Of course, we see that style a lot in other provinces of ESO, too. It's heavily influenced by the Akaviri. Remember this is late in the Second Era. Most of the survivors settled in Elsweyr, though, so it makes sense for the influence to be strong there.

My impression was

1. desert- they tend to have tents in nomadic camps, and perhaps pueblo style houses in permanent villages

2. jungle- no idea, maybe treehouses

3. cities- well those are Imperial influenced, so something like those screenshots makes sense.

(I have the feeling that Imperial power is limited to the cities, in the wilderness the local tribes still control everything)

so it would be like in Morrowind where you would go to Caldera and it had Imperial style, then Balmora was stone local style, then the Telvani had crazy mushroom houses, and out in the desert they had tents.

I'm pretty sure they don't sit around in litter boxes.....

The nomadic life style seen by the skyrim Khajiit is probably the thing in the deserts and jungles and in the deltas and plains they probably have permanent settlements.

Well, I talked to Jobasha yesterday (only in-game, sadly) and that's pretty much what he said.

Housing may also depend on the breed.

This is the only reason I would play TESO. And to see Black Marsh. Just not into MMOs.
