Khajiit Better than Lizard!

Some Morrowind fanart, for a change!
I really loved how Khajiit and Argonians looked in that game, they looked and sounded much more "beast-like", and I really wish the following games had kept this aspect of them.

The text I added is literally a line from male Khajiit NPCs in the game, by the way. Tomorrow I will also the version without any text, since it is covering part of the background and I'm extremely happy with the coloring this time around! I have put a lot more effort than usual into the foliage, fur and light effects, so it was a fun learning experience! :D

I have to it I had a bit of a love-hate relatioship with Morrowind when I played it as a kid. On one hand I freaking loved the setting, it was so original and alien looking, but on the other hand I found vast areas of the game quite boring, and some of the gameplay (especially combat) was not the best. I also tend to prefer slightly more plot-drive games, rather than huge sandboxes.
In any case, after a few weeks I got Gothic 2: Night of the Raven, and I started playing only that game nonstop instead. :P

Blacklisted

    Seriously, what the hell was that dialogue line supposed to imply? IIRC it's only said by enslaved Khajiit in game, and I honestly cannot interpret that last bit as anything other than a sexual advance, which is a really weird thing for a slave to say.

    Unless I'm mising it and it's just used by all Khajiit, in which case... yeah, it's probably just a sexual advance. The Khajiit are canonically horny as fuck.

    RE: the Khajiit looking more bestial in Morrowind, there's actually a lore reason for that. Khajiit all look like kittens when they're born, but they can grow into one of 16 different "furstocks" depending on the phase of the moons under which they are born, which range in appearance from "giant tiger-man" (Pahmar) to "slightly fuzzy elf" (Ohmes) to "talking house cat" (Alfiq). The digitigrade Khajiit in Morrowind are of the Suthay furstock, while the ones we play as in Oblivion, Skyrim, and ESO are Cathay. In Morrowind there is a justification for only seeing the Suthay furstock (apparently the dunmer believe that they make the best slaves out of all the furstocks, and the vast majority of Khajiit on Vvardenfell are either slaves or former slaves), but later games didn't really bother explaining why they only had one kind of Khajiit. ESO is, to date, the only game that includes more than one furstock, with the Dragonhold and Elsweyr expansions adding NPCs of the Senche-raht (large, stocky quadrupeds), Dagi and Dagi-raht (short, lynx-like bipeds), Pahmar and Pahmar-raht (huge tiger-men), and Alfiq (already described).

    Oh my fucking god. The elderscrolls lore has a canonical furry scale, right down to having just humans with cat ears.
    I had no idea the lore was THIS GOOD. I thought this was a joke, but it's official.
