I just took notice that my Khajiit's light Dunmer epaulets... well, they look like this now.


I'm pretty sure they didn't look like that before, and just to check I looked for some older screenshots of her. I couldn't find many that were too close up, but I did try to at least recreate the angle, camera distance, and emote to check the proportions and... yeah.
Before (keep in mind, this was back around Thieves Guild release, when /idle2 didn't strangely twist their shoulders forward):

After:

So maybe Space Marine is a bit of an exaggeration, but there's still a definite size increase and enough to look rather... ridiculous, frankly, on a small-framed female. What is up with this? Is this a bug? I definitely hope so, and I hope that they can fix it soon. If not then... why? Why change it? It was just fine as it was, nestled just right on the shoulder and pointy but... small enough to not be too ridiculous. Right now it seems like my character wouldn't be able to walk next to someone without gouging their eye out with her shoulder pieces. I noticed that the Bosmer medium shoulders have gotten the same... enlargement. Please, ZOS, don't go full WoW. Never go full WoW. It doesn't fit your art style, at all.
If it's not a bug then I may need to find a new motif for my character, which would make me sad because I rather like how she looks in it... and it's also all legendary quality. That would sting to decon all for the silly shoulder size.
