Khajiit and Argonian tails : V - Skyrim

Only in safe areas. Elsewhere they birth living babies.

Interesting.

Argonians are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoviviparity.

In other words, they are capable of both laying eggs and performing live birth.

But this doesn't tell us why female Argonians have briasts...

I agree the tail animations should be better, but I've kind of learned to ignore the tail on my Khajiit, so its not a huge issue for me. I do wish they were better though. I will admit they did a good job positioning the tail when riding a horse though.

Everything looks better with boobs :hehe:

And this way Bethesda doesn't have to make female argonian-specific armors (i assume that even if they didn't have briasts their body shape would still be different enough from males that using male armor models for them wouldn't work).

I will admit they did a good job positioning the tail when riding a horse though.

Yes, that is done better than in Oblivion. I just have to wonder why that same attention to detail wasn't paid to sitting animations :eek:

One of the reasons why the "rushed for 11.11.11 release" theory seems plausible.

Well, if you really want to be anatomically correct, the legs of the Khajiit should look more like the legs of the Quarians in Mass Effect. Since what most people assume are the knees of the cats are actually their ankles. They walk on their toes and fingers and have very elongated feet and hands and their upper legs and arms are very short, going only a short distance from their knees and elbows to their shoulder and hip joints.
Also since all cats have 8 nipbles they should also have 8 briasts, instead of just the two in Skyrim. But then again, that would certainly make the armor look really strange and the Khajiit bra economy would explode.

But I'm all for making the Khajiit look more feline, but it would make for a lot of work I think.

Well that's my point. But I don't think it'd be so huge of a workload since, as you said, Mass Effect's Quarians show a similar look than what we're looking for.

Then, if we dig deeper into the realm of REALITY, female Khajiits would only have boobs, at the number of 8, when and after they had a baby...

Also, the tail of Argonians could be cut in combat and regenerate.
