ditto... why? cuz they are beast! lol jk. I just like them. I'm always a Khajiiti. and i always will be

I always play as a bosmer. I love the bosmer.

At this moment it is close to impossible to come with some original non-human race
In rare occasions when this is happening we are making races like Hanar or Elcor from ME (cool, but unpractical for 1st person gameplay :glare: )

The Furry stigma does make it hard to enjoy things which I used to love like Sonic and the like.

My second Skyrim character is going to be a Khajiit. I like Khajiit almost as much as Argonians. Races that are more different/alien than humans are more interesting.

Seeing a Khajiit smile with the ears moving makes me smile too.


Edit: Xenophobic people like only human races in their fantasy games.

That is low level

Real Xenophobes like to have non-human races in games like TES
Because it allows to go on killing spree on those abominations of nature

Rule 34

Because:

Their fur is full of 'em you know?

how about the krogans, batarians or quarians? they look normal sized and while humanoid are different enough that they stand out from other games. there is no reason that they couldnt come up with some new races. just look at some of the weird things that were created for zeno clash as well. anything that gets away for the same ole stereotypical stuff that we see time and time again.

Krogans? Big vicious raptor-ish humanoids (basically Argonians on steroids)
Batarians? True they are original enough.
Quarians? Yeah, their suits are original too

Anyway TES lore have Sloads and Tsaesci, so lore is quite original
Another question- when we will see examples of more original creatures

I just found the people constantly whining about it were just as bad as the freaks, and went about my buisness. If some morons on the Internet ruin your enjoyment of something, then it's your loss.

Everything's better with cats.

Because they smell worse than their cooking.

Because it's basically like playing a cat-were, if anyone is familiar with wolf-weres and and Khajiit evolution. Why would I want to be born into a litter of 12 that has a constant whiff of cat pee about it? No, thanks... I'd rather be born to bare-skins and a crappy diaper.

Well, unless you're a 3 star cook, so do you. :teehee:

I've never been attracted to be a Kahjiit, but that was primarily because I didn't like the character art. I think they look terrific this time, so I may be tempted to play as one for a change.

It's not that, you just find yourself thinking, "wait a minute, does this make me a furry?" It was just easier before you knew there were such.. things.You're right though I recently discovered "scalies" and am now slightly wary of being mistaken as one when proclaiming love for argonians

BTW in Arena acted Ohmes, while in Daggerfall Ohmes-raht subtypes of Khajiit
Ohmes and Ohmes-raht are visually closer to Men/Mer, not typical Khajiit
Thats why they lack some distinct feline feature, like legs and ears

My first experience with The Elder Scrolls involved a Khajiit trying to pickpocket someone in Balmora, and the guards screaming "FETCHER!" Four angry dunmer in alien bonemold charged down the street. Terrified, I jumped into the River Odai, thinking I'd escape the heavy guards easily.

They went Michael Phelps on me.

Something next about getting clubbed to death underwater, and everytime I tried to sleep, some bloody ninja would jump me with ebony darts. Friggen bloody morrowind!

Oh, the days
But yea, I don't touch thief chars on the first runthrough anymore....

Shouda picked an Argonian sister!

I'm torn between khajiit and argonian as my first playthrough and no as some of you might think I'm not a furry but any race that least resembles boring humans (which is what I already am IRL) seems to be my favorites. I don't see why people have to even hate on races that don't exist IMO it just seems like a childish waste of time.

+1

Also they want to make a hot human-like chick and walk around town naked.

I will make a khajiit as a 2nd character. I don't use khajiit often, but it was more related to their starting skills etc.

I believe Argonians could easily be even more hated/unplayed. Although one could think of them as dragon-like creature, being reptiles themselves.

I see you've spent many hours contemplating this very subject!!! :rolleyes:



Actually no, there's a thread (I think it's now two threads) all with Argonian love!

I might make a Khajit eventually, but it would be far down on the list of characters I want to create. At least they look better this time around.

I have no issues with the khajiit race except that they removed the more bestial body they had in Morrowind.
But they differ from most of the other races and that is a good thing, some diversity in the world is great.
But i think that i have been corrupted by mainstream media, as i can't see myself playing a khajiit as the hero of the story in Skyrim.
I could see them as companions for the hero or something like that. But for the setting of Skyrim, a Nord is the most fitting hero.

As with Morrowind i played a Dark elf, because i thought that was the best fit for the story and setting.
And i played an Imperial in Oblivion for the same reason, and i will play Nord in Skyrim because of the setting.
If they place ESVI in Elsweyr i will play Khajiit as the main hero.

For my secondary characters i play other races, but i will still pick races i think fit the setting. Like in Skyrim i would perhaps play an orc or an redguard for a secondary or third character. But i am not sure it would feel right playing a Khajiit.

Fun Fact: Scalies and Furries are the same type of people. The term for "fan of anthropomorphic animals" is "Furry". If you see someone who legit calls themselves a Scalie like it's something different, laugh at them. :flamethrower:

I like the Khajiit mostly because of their attitude. Nothing better than a cunning and intelligent race with physical ferocity and ruthlessness.
Sandy Kitty don't care. Sandy Kitty just takes what it wants.
Also, in any fantasy campaign, I usually go for the player race that's the furthest from human I can get, as well as play as lawlessly as I can get away with. The Khajiit are pretty much tailor made to be my favorite race.

Not really understanding the "they're not humans so I can't relate to them" sentiment. There's more than just physical appearance that makes a character likable. I personally wouldn't care much about them if they were just hollow shell Lawl Cat People. But whatever. I hate your favorite race too. :shrug:

I love Khajiit, in fact I tend to love all beast-races. Far more interesting than a normal guy who you could see walking down the street in real-life. I also don't really like elves in most fantasy settings - a bit too effeminate, a bit too"oo look how mysterious and wise we are" - but I love the aesthetics of all 3 (4 including Orcs) elf races in Skyrim. They've given them such an awesome visual upgrade, especially the Bosmer.
