Zenimax, please make it an option for Khajiit vampires to retain their fur color.

    Apparently they just 'might' make the highest vampire form a crime. That is seriously gonna suck(pun), since that's the only form that makes my character look good -.-

    I totally agree with apav because it just makes sense. If a person/ cat/ tiger etc. (that had some kind of fur) dies its hair/ fur (both essentially the same) loses its pigments over time but it will never lose all of its pigments/ reach the "albino" stage, before it will turn to dust (or whatever). Also he didn´t asked for changing a major part of the game, he literally just requested a very reasonable alternative/ compromise, which would just affect the first stage of the vamp stage, so why try people to invalidate his whole argumentation with some pointless responses. For example: I just read this whole debate and I was so impressed by all the stupidity and ingorance focused in just a couple comments by "oldkye". he/she/it argued with such an invalid and illogical BS, like:
    I mean how is that a valid or helpful response?

    "If you don't want white fur don't be a vampire? lol

    It's suppose to be a disease and a curse lol and what's so terrible about forgoing reality for balance in a MMO "Your A Cat Man!!!!!!!" if you want real you shouldn't have been a Cat Person in the first place XD." I mean thats not arguing, thats just posting completly stupid comments, for the purpose of being contraDIC(K)ting.

    However, I agree with apav, he did a really nice job and he also put some thoughts and effort in his suggestion unlike other user. #oldkye

    Since English isn´t my native language I want to apologize for any grammatical mistakes.

    regards

    Noticed that the first link in my original post is down (and I'm not able to edit it), so I'll provide another example:

    Why did her fur on her body change color, but the hair on the top of her head stay the same? It seems to me that they wanted to keep the hair color to keep some of the customizability and to help khajiit vampires stand out from other khajiit vampires more, but it still doesn't make sense.

    Thank you very much. Everything you said sums up how I still feel about it.

    I doubt Zenimax will do anything about it at this point. I sent feedback to them with an altered version of my original post almost a year ago and never received a reply or heard of a mentioning that they are even discussing it.

    A lot of people (I swear this thread got shorter it was pages long of argument and people calling me names a year ago, plus all the hatemail I got in my inbox from this thread is gone too) think my whole argument is laughable, because I am asking them to change something in the game to something that I prefer. That's the thing that oldkye didn't understand. Aren't any other changes to the game brought about because of player preference? Just because the feedback is about something more mechanics based (like stats or changing what an ability does) still doesn't change the fact that it was suggested by someone who was unhappy with how it was before they changed it. And when enough people come together to agree and ask for compromise or change, then that's when the dev's listen to their players. And as you know, I am definitely not alone in this sentiment. If this thread got more exposure or got brought directly to the devs' attention, I'm sure they would at the very least discuss it or find out how much of their playerbase want this change.

    That's another counterargument I absolutely loathe. "If you don't like it don't play it." Thanks, captain obvious. I don't like MOBA's so you don't see me playing them. But what happens when I genuinely like and want to play something, but something I equally dislike about it is holding me back? If the choice was easy for me, I wouldn't have made a thread about it asking for a compromise.

    Even though this whole topic is based around mine and others' preference, I tried to be objective and fair about it as much as I could, because I do realize there are some people who love the white fur and would be pissed if it was taken away from them.

    Well oldkye hasn't logged in since May (probably hasn't played since then too) so if he quit out of loss of interest, that goes to show you how he was feeling about the game in general.

    P.S. you're English is perfectly fine :smile:

    Thank you, :) I don want to repeat what I just said above but youre welcome. I just cant stand it when people who actually care about something and try to improve it (whatever it is), get demotivated and partly bothered by people like oldkye. Keep on making helpful posts and at some point we will all benefit from it.

    Have a great time with ESO & in general :)

    Yeah I really don't like the fact that I suddenly turned white when I became a vampire. All the non beast races can cover it up by changing up their armour except for khajiit and argonians because we have tails. Atleast with the other races it makes sense skin color changes but fur changing color only explanation is PvP and if people are that worried about distinguishing vamps they can slot the expert hunter skill. Not like they'll be able to tell a vamp from a non vamp in heavy armour if they pick any of the armours with a full face mask like Breton

    Wish they'd atleast add an option to hide the color for the player I don't care if other people can see me looking like an idiot with pasty white fur and black hair.
