Senche-Tigers in Blacksmithing Video

Post » Tue Mar 04, 2014 3:41 am

In the blacksmithing video from the official TESO site (http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2014/02/19/video-blacksmithing-in-tamriel) I noticed the player was attacked by to Senche Tigers.

Now according to the lore (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Khajiit) they should be the height of an average Altmer, but in the video they are the size of a normal tiger. So they should rather be called Pahmar, shouldn't they?

What do you think how to explain why this is how Senche Tigers look like in TESO (apart from "stupid devs" and the like)?

They could for example be juvenile Senches or the height of the average Altmer referrs to the height when the Senches are standing on two feet?

Are there any other referrences to their size?

On the positive side I am glad they don't completely ignore the Khajiit supspecies and I also like that the two Senches in the video both have different colours. And I don't have a problem with them attacking you like wild animals since there are also Nords attacking a Nord player in the wilderness in Skyrim.

I just am a bit confused due to their small size in TESO.

They're regular tigers tagged senche for the lore nerd effect.

Sure, but this thread is intented to find lore-friendly explanations to their in-game look as well as maybe some additional info on their lore.

You also find friendly named senche tigers in the AD starting zone and a book about them.

Ingame presentations are usually a poor platform to try and draw conclusions on. Sure, you can experiment, but don't think you will find the answer here. Sadly, I suspect it is as chomag pointed out.
