So, which breed of Khajiit do you think will be used in Skyrim? Maybe more than one will appear? Maybe the ones that walk on all fours and/or are larger than your average door frame?

Quick summary:

Ohmes: elvish like, no tail, little to no fur, usually tattoed, possibly the breed from Arena
Ohmes-raht: tail and light fur, walks on heels like humans, possibly the breed from Daggerfall
Suthay: probably the Oblivion breed
Suthay-raht: the Morrowind breed, walks on heels toes like a cat and is slightly bigger and more tiger-like

We haven't actually seen any other breeds in any game AFAIK

Cathay and Cathay-raht: these may look like jaguars or leopards, and are on the 'menacing' side of the size scale, probably rivaling with the bigger nords.

Read the article for more info.The rest are all probably quadrupedal, and range from a house cat to '20 altmer' in size

I'm not actually worried, as long as we don't have Ohmes/Ohmes-Raht/Suthay. (There are a lot more than on this list)

I just want them to look beastly.

A few alfiq (House-Cat breed) would actually be nice, too, of course, not as a playable race (unless the engine can support it/Bethesda like the idea), but as some random characters my Khajiit can talk to.

I know, I figured I would just list the humanoid ones and encompass the non-humanoid in the 'other' option since playing as one of those would be quite odd.

But it would be fun to find quadrupedal ones as NPCs, maybe play with the fact that not all players would realize they are actually intelligent.

*Player encounters an Alfiq Dagi* Ohhh, aren't you a cute kitty? *tries to caress it*
*Dagi sends you flying backwards with a well placed fireball*

It'll probably be suthay/suthay-raht like Oblivion or Morrowind.

I want to play as an Alfiq!


But seriously it's time for the Cathay(-Raht) to appear.




edit: On further reflection I could totally work this into my backstory for Skyrim.

I vote Cathay (not raht, they seem just too large). Being bigger and... erm... furrier, would be an advantage to keeping heat in the north. I guess.

I would love it if there were many types available, although I appreciate that this means extra work for the Devs that they probably don't want to get into.
It is probably more realistic that if all the types of Khajiit were to appear in a game it would be in one set in Elseweyr rather than Skyrim.

My special preference is for the beast-type of Khajjit like we saw in Morrowind. They were the coolest!

I'm hoping for the Cathay or Cathay-Raht, they seem to be the most badass. I'm also expecting the Khajiit house-cat, while not capable of speech it can still understand other Khajiits.

http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=conceptart§ion=15266 concept art for all those less-imaginative ones.

And I want Snow Senche mounts.

Senche...as a mount.

Note that there is heavy secrecy surrounding the Tojay/-raht, Jobasha refuses to say anything about them...

all of them i hope but i think the ones from oblivion will be included.. it would be cool to choose your race and then specify which breed.

I second that hope.


the hopes that they are more muscular and furry, and scream Rwaaar, I am snow-cat. the pansies you knew in Oblivion have nothing on this.

because in Skyrim, everything is bigger.

Hopefully we won't see any of them.

I'd like to see whatever the main Khajiit lady from The Infernal City was. I think her name was Lesspa or something. The way they described her made her sound really cool looking. I'm guessing she was an Ohme, but I'm not sure. Could anyone confirm or deny this? To me the more races/character options there are, the better. So I voted for both Suthay and Ohmes...

Allergic?

I'd like to see the return of the Ohmes-Raht

I voted for the mane. thought it would be funny. Does anyone know what the mane looks like to differentiate itself from others? All I know is that it has its tribes hair.

/rawr
You are not wanted here.
No one will take away mah kitteh.

*serious now* I actually would really like to see cathay or cathay-raht. Would be nice to see a bigger variety of Khajiit this time around.

Not going to happen. A mane is almost never born, and if so, would not be in Skyrim, and would be the leader of the Khajiit by default and in Elsywer.

Yeah, I added that option just for the fun.
As to what the Mane looks like, imagine a giant hair ball... rolling rolling rolling...

What I'd like to see, is a "cat/human" slider on the faces of Khajiit in character creation.

You slide it one way, and the head morphs to become more feline, slide it the other and it morphs to be more humanoid/elven. There could even be a height slider, and a couple of skin/fur textures (like Dragon Age) to choose from.

That way, we can make any (bipedal) Khajiit breed we want.

Surrounded by mass naked, hyper cats.

I would love to play as a Dagi But, I am really desperate for Snow Senche and Snow Senche-Raht mounts.

I like the Oblivion Khajiit's.
On a side note; The more I read about them the more I want to play as one... I think I should make a Khajiit some time...

migck, put http://www.tamriel-rebuilt.org/?p=conceptart§ion=15266 in the OP too avoid confusion and give a general idea to everyone, even if it is concept art.
