Doing the quest where you turn into a skeleton. Turns out my female khajit has a male human skeleton. Clavicus Vile sure has a strange sense of humour, not only making me a skeleton for laughs, but also changing my gender and species!

    I notice ALL skeletons are human - the ones you fight as well as the ones you find lying around the world.

    Well to be fair no one said they were't going to change your gender or species when they made you a skeleton.
    In times like these I ask myself what would Sheogorath do?
    And then everything makes perfect cheese.

    I would like to find a whole village of khajiit skeletons who still think they look great and wondering why the skooma doesn't work so well anymore.

    The pelvis is too narrow to be birthin' hips. :)

    They forgot to include the tail. Do you really thing they are going to be bothered about the hip width? Besides, you can always tell a female skeleton. The jaw will be moving :wink:

    I think a lot of people forget we still have little tailbones, until we sit down wrong. Ouch.

    Anyway, in humans, the size and positioning of the hips is diagnostic for being able to tell whether a fossil/skeleton was man or woman.

    I was going to make a man-joke back, but now that I've sobered up, I can't think of anything that won't get me censored/banned.

    Yea.. there are no female skeletons in game, neither skeletons of almost anything else than male humans. Only exception is that pretty twisted skeleton presumably belonging to one of Sheo toys..
    Proud owner of personal vampire and werewolf army (4 werewolves/4 vampires)..

    I'm also using large doses of irony and sarcasm.

    Plus Im mean person, cause I really dont have reason to like you. Or anyone.

    i loved it in morrowind when you would discover a cave entrance and see a skeleton (or 2 lol) coming towards you with a long blade. often times i would use invisibility everywhere i went, and when i came across skeletons standing guard at cave tombs i would sneak up to them and examine them. they even have a kind of "bone scratching sound" as they would sway and gently move while guarding idle.
    im quite amazed at the accuracy and mirror image of what we see (and hear) in eso compared to the real skeletons we saw in morrowind. seeing crowds of skeletons in eso as a swarm and zerg in cryodiil makes me feel like im again at home in morrowind, it's a beauty and wonder that takes my breath away .... (hearth)
    almost exact duplicate to the ones we saw in morrowind, which is what made me comment here.

    the skeletons we see in eso i "believe" are just molds, and not capable of showing gender, race, creed, color, religion, nor sexual orientation.

    altho you could perform a autopsy to determin the religion tho i am sure due to the amount of daedra worship some may or may not have performed AS WELL as the skooma or moonsuger intake that would indeed show on the skull and throat.

    During one of the quests you encounter and talk to a friendly Argonian skeleton, only the bones are human instead of Argonian. The human skull really gives it away.

    It's just you know... no offense to the fine folk at ZOS. I will say as a preface, you guys and gals really do put a lot of attention to detail. So I would like to offer my appreciation.


    But.


    We're all humans... and we can see by this blatant lazy decision. All skeletons share the same... Breton skeleton. Because you know, cost-effective blah blah.



    I'm sure this will be remedied later. MMOs are always growing no?

    A skeleton's overall size and sturdiness give some clues. Within the same population, males tend to have larger, more robust bones and joint surfaces, and more bone development at muscle attachment sites. However, the pelvis is the best sex-related skeletal indicator, because
    of distinct features adapted for childbearing. The skull
    also has features that can indicate sex, though slightly less reliably.

    It wouldn't take too much to have individualised skeletons - just need Khajit and Argonian skulls, wider hips for females, and tails for Khajits. (being lizards, Argonians may not have bones in their tails) It just seems lazy, when there's so much work in all of the other animations.

    Could be a pre-pubescent female skeleton??

    I too noticed the all human skeletons. If they hadn't specifically called it argonian, I wouldn't have had a second thought about it.

    Also, I'd like to point out that this was briefly the most metal thread ever.

    I thought that was Clavicus Vile. Hm. I wonder what sort of wish he twisted to get us beat up on by little girls.
