Fake Tail

While grinding characters to champion rank I was playing some characters in a Khajiit style training set.
My Redguard woman kind of looked like she could re role playing as Catwoman.

Discussing this with the guild, it was suggested a fake tail would complete the look. What do you think of a fake tail style collectable for non Khajiits who are in the role playing being Khajiit.

This is role playing within role playing...so meta.

    Personally I think the Argonian and Khajit armors ought to have a tail armor (graphically - not a new slot). I don't see why a fake tail should be a problem, it would sell well. You have cat ears with the right helmet, so why not a tail. Good luck getting it implemented, but go for it! :grin:

    I'm not sure why you would create a non-Khajiit to role play being a Khajiit when you could just make Khajiit in the first place.

    Also, Khajiit in Khajiit costume would have two tails making them OP.

    Okay, that would be adorable. I already had an Argonian in Khajiit armor being a kitty lizard and it was precious, I can totally get behind false tails for humans. There should be a kitty tail *and* a lizard tail.

    That would be an stupid restriction, I rater put it a bit higher and lower than the true khajiit tail and have the tail animation a bit off for an fun effect.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    But you can just be a khajiit.

    I have a Khajiit. I can and do play on a real Khajiit.

    The original suggestion stemmed from a guild discussion about wearing Khajiit racial gear on non Khajiit alts. The gear was originally made for my Khajiit. Restyling to Imperial / Morag Tong doesn't work. I tried to make the best of it by pretending my other alts were pretending to be a Khajiit...

    Even in the Jester's festival you had a situation basically the reverse. An Argonian Jester playing the Breton king Emeric, a Khajiit playing Jorunn and an Orismer playing Ayrenn for comical effect.

    I suppose this stems from how various racial styles are pretty flexible on being worn by other races. It is only really Khajiit and maybe Argonian styles that can look a bit silly when worn on other races.

    I have an Argonian with the Infernal Epidermis skin always active, wearing all Heavy Dro-m'Athra dyed mostly Coldharbor Ash Black (maybe Legate's Black some day~), with Sigil Orangle accents, and ohhh my goodness, it looks so good~ Like a badass Dragon Khajiit (technically Argonian, but he has the awesome Khajiit head of that Dro-m'Athra Helm at all times), even has a voice option I am positive is shared with Khajiit voice options.

    I can't decide if this would be considered cultural appropriation or not.

    Eh, don't care. I don't see a reason why Redguard furries shouldn't be allowed to fully express their inner Khajiit.

    I see this like the whole make vampires twilight pretty threads.

    Just make a Khajiit or an Argonian if you want a tail.

    It seems like I go around in circles with this. I already have both a Khajiit and an Argonian alt. This was never intended to be a replacement for playing as alts in those races. No more than wearing a motif of any race is equivalent to playing as that race.

    This doesn't really matter as a serious request as I don't expect ZOS to implement it.

    This was specifically about a character who is not Khajiit dressing up. I know that alts can be created for those races. It is even possible to use crown racial change token to change the race of a character.

    I am not trying to achieve a permanent change. This is specifically about a character role playing as something they are not able to really be.

    The Bosmer briars channel types of animals to enhance aspects of their fighting style. Something similar happened in the Ebonhart Pact quest while the player fights in the kings dreams. Daggerfall Covenant Wyrd took the form of a spirit wolf.

    Maybe there are parallels of cultural appropriation in real life if the intention is to ridicule. Actors applying blackface or otherwise using makeup to appear as another race only to depict them in the form of negative or inaccurate stereotypes (like the asian man in Breakfast at Tiffany's).

    There are those who are deeply enamoured with another culture to the point that they want to embrace it as fully as possible. This can be met with different reactions. Some of that culture appreciate others who like and admire their culture. Others get offended by someone appropriating their culture when they are not and may never really be part of it.

    For this discussion, repeatedly saying "Just play a Khajiit" may be likened to people saying: "Why does Bruce Wayne dress up as a giant bat. If he wants to be a be a giant bat then why doesn't he just be a giant bat?". The point is he can't. Neither can Bat Girl be a bat or cat woman a cat or the Penguin a Penguin. It is all theatrical appropriation of a type of animal as part of a persona. Ant Man isn't an Ant....I could go on.

    Maybe a fake tail is limited thinking in a world of magic. Perhaps a magic artifact which allows the wearer to take on the appearance of another race.

    This already happens in Auridon when Razum-da has an earring that allows him to disguise himself as an elf. The player gets access to it too. There is a stone in the Daggerfall Covenant Stormhaven line that allows the player to morph into a goblin to be ignored by other goblins. I already mentioned Razum-dar being magically altered to appear like Queen Ayrenn. I would assume this is covered by the illusionist branch of magic in the Elder Scrolls Universe.

    ESO doesn't have this as a school but does provide polymorphs as collectables.

    Khajiit has no problem with others who wish to have tails yes, as long as the option is also there for this one to wear pointy elf ears.

    We all need to dress up for the Witches Festival do we not yes? This one was thinking of going as Snooty Elf Queeny this year perhaps.

    The thread had posts removed by moderators due to what I assume was an image related to this (I could not see it as the firewall on the network I am blocked it). I am hoping this won't be a recurring thing. I didn't suggest it.
