theory-gary Actually in Morrowind we see the suthay-raht, who are unique in being digitigrades so they can't use normal shoes. In Arena and Daggerfall we see the ohmes and ohmes-raht furstocks, known for being so elf-like that they tend to tattoo themselves to avoid any chance of being mistaken for elves.

And then in ESO we see a whole bunch of different furstocks, because ESO is incredible.

But yeah I agree, I think there should be a lot of options for Khajiit characters. Especially NPCs, there should be a couple of every furstock to be found in every game IMO. Yeah, not many alfiq would want to travel and have to deal with foreigners who would treat them like housecats, but there would be a few, especially traveling among other Khajiit. Especially when we keep in mind that even two cathay can make an alfiq child (or any other furstock), so families should look very diverse when we see them.

ESO is pretty fun this is true, you also have a butt slider in that game. anya-heh

There's a couple of mods for Morrowind that allow you to play as most of the furstock and the Tamriel Rebuilt stuff (Cyrodil and Skyrim too) use a lot more varied forms of khajiit, so that's something.

Ooh, I'll have to look into that. I'm not super into ES lore but I love playing Khajiits. They're just so hug shaped and I love them. Plus, "punch kitty" is a damned funny melee build, and the whole "sneaks and thieves" thing and "cat burglar" means that stealth builds are lore justified as a Khajiit, lol.

There's a pretty significant side of Elsweyr's culture that basically says "if you let me steal from you that's a skill issue" and successful theft/burglary is a sign of cleverness and boldness. They've even got a god about it, Rajhin.

Yeah, tbh that sounds about right for cats. I have absolutely dealt with cats that probably believe that.

Some of the most fun I've had is just playing as a uh...cathay-raht in Morrowind. Just wearing heavy armour and putting a massive hammer into the skull of every slave owner fash-bash

this is to turn a lot of the vanilla khajiit into the new forms

and this is to allow you to play as them

Ooh. That looks very fun. Fuzzy kitties!

foreigners who would treat them like housecats

Alfiq mob boss who pretends to be a rich, senile old lady's housecat. You are contracted by the watch to find proof the old lady is running her deceased husband's organization.

You and I have similar brains, I've thought about this sort of concept before. I imagined it as like an alfiq spy, though. Sell some rich asshole a housecat and somehow all their secrets keep leaking.
