ZOS and Khajiit Body Shaming

Dear ZOS,

Every time a new costume or armor style is released I look at it and think how well it will look on my female Khajiit. But despite her petite stature most make her look like a bloated tick. I notice this on other Khajiit as well. Leg armor swells and gives me 'thunder-thighs', helms swell and make me look like a living bobble-head, some of the costumes wont display the helm/head piece and cut off my ears. I can take these same armors and costumes and put them on any of my other races (don't know about Argonian) and they look like they should. So why are Khajiit being punished? Please fix this. I'm tired of wearing the Crafty Lerisa costume (only one that works right). I want to wear the special styles I worked so hard for without looking like a freak. Thank you in advance for any consideration in this matter.

    This thread is fat shaming
    #triggered

    It probably has to do with the models. Maybe they just didn't make a thin model or something

    This thread is NOT fat shaming.That's idiotic.
    I can understand things not fitting right for Khajiits.Mine doesnt wear a hood due to the blockhead thing.It's just ugly.Sadly,I love hoods,but cant wear one for it's ugliness.

    This one agrees with that one. Also, add spell crit to the weapon crit passive.

    I'm pretty sure the guy you quoted was joking.

    I thought it was obvious that I was. Clearly I was mistaken.

    I triggered him and for that I must move on.

    I think every race has some kind of body proportion problems in eso, for example Altmers always have broader shoulders even if I keep the slider all the way down, same with bretons from what Ive seen...

    Your careless use of the word "triggered" has now triggered me. I'll await your apology from the comfort of my "safe space."

    Please sir/maam/cis/bi/other I mean no offense in my use of the word triggered. I did not intend to trigger you while also triggering the other man who ended up triggered because of a joke I made about being Triggered. If only the trigger did not happen.

    My argonian can't wear helmets generally. I don't like the way the artwork looks on them, because in large part his snout size changes and his horns are never factored in. It always bothers me so I always hide helmet on him. It wouldn't be so bad if the headwrappings actually meshed with the way his head is shaped.

    That's why my two Khajiit alts only wear their prison shackles. They look so much better in fur ...

    I wonder if that one outfit is still totally broken on males, they only knew about it for like three months...

    Edit: The song of the night ensemble appears fixed :smile:
    I would have bought this one if it worked when it were new, ah well money I didn't spend on cosmetics is still in my pocket!

    The next time you run a character through the quests in the Alikir Desert, pick up a few extra Crown dishdashas and convey them, one at a time, through the bank to your alts, leave one in the bank, and keep the last one for your character doing the quests. Those look good on any character other than, maybe, Argonians. Argonians are hard to create fashion styles for because of those fat, scaly tails of theirs.

    Elsewhere I made the suggestion that those no-armor-value clothing items that you sometimes find in barrels or crates could be made combinable into a disguise. The pieces would be dye-station colored prior to stitching, and the disguise, once made, would be thereafter unalterable. Chest and legs would be required, with hat, gloves, boots, belt, shoulders being optional. (Actually, I don't think that there are any belts and shoulder items in this class of items, but no matter.) With one of these disguises on, and provided that you didn't make your character too pretty during creation, you could imitate a Cyrodiilian peasant in, say, Cropsford. There might be some reason or other that you would want to do this.
