ebsixl Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) While it would be nice to see a more humanized khajiit, I know that I'm not the only one who isn't a huge fan of anime being injected into games like this. That particular style has no place in a game like this, to be honest. Instead, how about making Mithra-like Khajiits, if people are so intent on having them be human-like? I know, I know, Mithras ARE from a Japanese game, but in no way are they "anime" style -- but if they're found to be too stylized, they could always be made to look more realistic for the game. Here's a screenshot of a male mithra:http://soulrift.com/img/ffxiapriltour2.jpg And while he's very feminine in this, it wouldn't be difficult to make him more -- well, manly. Here's a screenshot of a female mithra:http://www.gamedepiction.com/media/ff11-mithra2.jpg Their skin matches their tails, so I'm assuming they're kind of fuzzy -- but anyway, they're pretty appealing IMO, especially compared to the completely furry Khajiit (no offense to the furries out there, I'm just not one myself), and it would be a nice alternative to the anime-like requests that are all over the forum. I don't mean to offend anyone, I just really disagree with the idea of an anime-like race. While I know it will happen inevitably in some form, it would be nice to see an alternative to it if it has to happen. Cheers guys.

Luchaire Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 As soon as I have a working construction set in my hands (so to speak) this is basically the first mod I'll be doing, with several versions to appeal to a range of tastes from slightly-more-humanlike khajiit to the anime-style girls-with-kitty-ears. The Mithra style will fit in there somewhere. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebsixl Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Awesome! It's funny that you replied so quickly, I had just sent you a mail about your Tabaxi race when I saw your post about it on the anime suggestion forum. I'll look forward to it! Thanks (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsuneshoujo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think you are confusing issues here... I HAVE AN IDEA... instead of everyone harping about anime this and that, why dont you (the OP) show me a pic of this horrifying "anime" style that you dont want? I'm serious, I am curious as to what this style is... because there are several different ways cat-girls could be interpreted. Miqoute/Mithra are still cat-girls... and I loved the Miqoute from FFXIV. I would totally support that sort of cat-girl in skyrim. ;) I will also support the shoujo-type cat-girls just because my inner-troll wants to irritate anime-haters. ;) :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebsixl Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I don't think I'm confusing issues at all. I'm just making a suggestion, as you were, and I'm sorry if I offended you in some way. We just have conflicting tastes, and to be honest you aren't irritating me at all. I'm not a "hater", I just don't happen to like it. Also -- I wasn't harping. I was, again, making a suggestion. (: Edited November 27, 2011 by ebsixl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchaire Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I will also support the shoujo-type cat-girls just because my inner-troll wants to irritate anime-haters. ;) :P That's sort of the main reason I'll be doing it. :P I made the Tabaxi race for Oblivion on a whim once in response to a request thread somewhere (disclaimer: I myself have still have never played one). The more complaints it got about being "furry" or "anime" the more inclined I became to keep working on it, building support for it, and increasing its visibility in the mod community. I was content to let it fade away with Oblivion, but the furry-haters and anime-haters and just haters in general have convinced me not only to re-work the race for Skyrim but to do as I said above: make multiple versions for multiple tastes. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsuneshoujo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I wasnt saying you were the hater, from what I have seen of your replies, you've been polite. :) I think when people see the words cat-girl they automatically think of this: http://cdn.gunaxin.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/louisecatgirllingerierq8.jpg When what I want is actually more like this: http://www.guide-site.jp/modules/wordpress/attach/micote.jpg Whether or not this is what the others want is another story... Also: Luchaire, I think I love you! :wub: Edited November 27, 2011 by kitsuneshoujo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebsixl Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) People complained about your Tabaxi race being too anime-like? It doesn't seem that way at all to me. When I think of an anime-like race, I imagine the "shoujo" race from the Fallout games. That's the race that gives me the creeps, to be honest. Your Tabaxi race? Not at all. I think it looks great. I'm glad you'll be making it for Skyrim too, although you already know since I mailed you before I saw your response haha! I'm looking forward to it. Seriously, I'm not trying to hate on anime at all. I just think that the style would seriously conflict with Skyrim, and while I know it's a choice to download a mod -- I just thought I'd make an alternative suggestion anyway. I know Mithra still look pretty stylized because they are from a Japanese game and that's bound to happen, but with the image of the shoujo race in mind they look a lot more appealing to me. edit: So we're on the same page. The miqo'te are technically Mithra... although I think the Mithra were a bit more fuzzy and cat-like than the miqo'te are. I miss the cat-like noses and skin-matching-tails that the mithras have when I see the miqo'te race. edit edit: But yeah, when you put anime in the title people are likely to assume "generic", like the shoujo race I mentioned above -- so you can imagine why people would be confused. Plus, the images posted on that forum definitely conflict with the idea of a miqo'te or mithra race; they're bound to make people think you mean something else.

It amuses me that you say that, as I didnt start the other thread... I just happen to be the more vocal person in the thread. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebsixl Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Oh, my bad, then. :P The way you hopped in here, I thought you had. I'm sorry for assuming, I should have checked. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
