Tail armor for Argonians and Khajiit?

Takes-No-Prisoner

Would be cool if Argonians and Khajiit had more tail accessories. Like ring piercings or golden rings on their tails. I would be all about a Khajiit wearing some rings on her tail with different moon designs on them. Ribbons would look really adorable too. Specially if you laced the ribbon material in a pattern up the tail.

Quite frankly, I never understood why Khaj and Argo's would dress.
I'm NOT!!! speaking of armor, which OBVIOUSLY is a necessity in combat, but CLOTHING???
Argo's are basically water creatures, clothing would be just annoying.
As for the poor Khajiit... poor things must be melting with all that fur and clothes on top of that.
Aside, a cat shows off with it's fur design.

I can see Tail Armor for Argonians but not so much for Khajiit.

There is no lore suggesting that Argonians can regrow their limbs. Maybe a Hist tree can restore it but naturally, I don't believe it to be possible. As such, I don't see a reason as to not have tail armor for them.

Khajiit tails are very narrow and frail looking that I don't believe they require the armor, or would even be able to support it.

Well, I DID say, based upon what we have on Earth...

It would look logical, seeing there are tiny and mid-sized lizards in there.
Dragons too, if I am not mistaken, could regrow parts?

Both Argonian and Bosmer armor in those pics on the artists site are far better than what we got in game. There was attention to detail put into it. And it shows. I get that its a MMO but the cartoonish and rather lazy motif styles we got for racials is just heartbreaking.

Whoa! I would actually play argonian if it looked that badbutt!

Edit: Just looked at that pic again. That argonian looks AMAZING!

Good point. If I was fighting an argonian or Khajit in real life the tail would be my swords first target

How cute.
Just try to grab a raging cat...

Not to mention it's tail.

You'd be faceless in no time flat.

I bet folks would rather have argonian passives changed to something good versus having armor on their tail...

Not if that armor gave them an extra armor slot lol

Why not?
It's limited to "tailers" and specific "tailered equiment"...
How would that be not good???

I don't think it's just because "its an MMO".

Those artists are only creating pics of concepts of armor.

We get the quality that we have in ESO because the game is processing infinitely more information than a single still pic.

On the flip side; like many other people, I have played many MMO's over the last 3 decades. the quality of graphics and armor in ESO really does blow away the visuals offered by most other MMO's.

IMO, there's really no argument there.

Believe you confused my statement as a bad thing.

In context of what I quoted, about people wanting Argonian passives to be better as opposed to giving them tail armor, my comment makes it that if the tail armor was an extra armor slot, exclusive to Argonians and maybe Khajiit, people wouldn't be asking for better passives on Argonians because that extra armor slot offers WAY more customization in terms of gear customization, extra armor passives, resistances, etc. that would more than make up for the Argonian somewhat lackluster passives.

dtm_samuraib16_ESO

But the "extra addon" would be no more than "easthetical", basically.
If you'd add actual armor that counts into the normal armor rating... well, not many I think will agree on that, since a lot of folks are "me no play beasty" and would feel disadvantaged.

Which is more or less how everyone that plays a less than optimal race feels right now.

I do not care about passives, my second char will be an Argo...
These are, in the end, neglectable anyway!

While I am in favor of this, I can also see how difficult it would be for Zenimax to implement since they would have to add armor to EVERY SINGLE SET they have created thus far. That's a daunting task just for a cosmetic effect on 2 races.

I would MUCH prefer they first give us anatomically correct skeletons! It's really cheap****** there is only a human version (and I have even seen a Kahjiit one in one of the quests so they even have the model hanging around)

Now that the notifications have died down, i'll respond XD (General response, not one per person)

Seems most people love the idea XD
As for those who don't (for non joke reasons), this is my response. I doubt armor will ever be a focus for Zenimax- this would be relatively easy to implement in a modellers spare time since they'd either only make it for Argonian/Khajiit styles or it'd just be a few straps that look the same on every single set. For tail regrowth- I didn't know they could do that- still no reason not to protect yourself. Eg, I can regrow hair- i'm not gonna make myself bald just because my hair will grow back

I doubt this will ever get implemented anyway, but it was nice to see lots of people are interested in more customization for their characters

EDIT: Better wording

I abstain: 2 reasons for the Argonian:
I think they regrow their tails like most their earth counterparts, lizards?
Also, it seems a bit sluggish.
Argonians normally have a tail attack, armouring that up would hinder this.

As for Khajiit tails, these are a tad too weak to be armoured...
Khajiit tails don't look that strong to me, seen how long these are.
And it's not, from a practical PoV, that a tailless Khajiit would actually suffer from a lost tail, save for aesthetically.

But, that does not mean it cannot be incorporated.
The Argo tail armor looks nice.

Add some spikes. Badass tail attack is go.

Clothing is not just needed to protect us from cold.
It can used to show the status as well, and it can serve ceremonial functions.
Speaking of climate, I find it much more annoying that light Altmer and Redguard robes are made of skin-tight leather. >.< At least Khajjit light looks reasonable for Elsweyr weather.

I bet people might like both and dont feel theyd need to choose between the two since the people behind designing armor arent the same ones in control of balancing the passives.

I looks great on the Argonian, but I always thought that Khajiit would use their tails for balance during a fight. Armor would impede rather than enhance that. As others have mentioned though, if they're not even making female specific armor, I'd be surprised to see something so specified.

What might be more likely is either a costume with tail armor or tail decorations though! I'd love tail jewelry personally A woven silver net with sapphires please!

Dont play as either but if you guys want it, sure!

An armored Saxhleel tail outfit would be visually appealing and realistic to Tamriel. Of course it would be more applicable for thicker tails, yet i've noticed many things existent in Tamriel primarily for visual entertainment. Horns disappear when helmets are put on, small shoes that don't fit my feet and skeletons that lack our physical attributes. Tail equipment for visual entertainment is certainly aligned with the present pattern.

It's called a Furry. That's what Khajiit were designed for.

Wouldn't furries want naked cats?
