I'm sure this will be among the top ten qqer posts of the year but this change has kind of turned me off from playing my own argonian character there since the DLC--and until now, he used to be my main. I'm desperate enough to even mention this publicly: I'm an RPer as well, and I often play this guy as literally keeping his hood low enough to cover his eyes. That just became all the more difficult to pass off believably. I feel dumb even just typing these complaints out; I've poured so much time and money into this game from beta, rolled with hundreds of visual and gameplay changes without a hitch, why should a small shift in some polygons get to me so badly? Yet it's like nails on a chalkboard.

The ear bumps for khajiit are nice, but that's about it. Everything else, from the awkward, flat profile, to the square cranium, is a huge step back for us lizardfolk. Again ZoS, I appreciate the work you put into this, and what you were trying to accomplish, but please reconsider what you've chosen as the final meshes.

Honestly, while I prefer the smoother look of the old hoods, I could probably live with just the blockhead look if I had to; however, that receding hemline framing the face has just got to go. I think ZoS pushed them back under the thinking that people would want their characters' faces to be more easily "shown off" while wearing headgear, but it's just plain not flattering at all. We wear hoods for that neat cowl effect. When you take away that overhang above the eyes, it's just an awkwardly shaped sack of cloth hugging the back of the head.

Khajiit hoodie is purrrrrrfect!

Other races - Dis One does not care, lol

It might look alright with Khajiit, but the change was for the worse on Argonians. It just looks awkward. Really hope they either revert it or try again.

I wish we could craft hoods with or without ninja mask (or doctor mask, whatever you prefer). After all, we can choose to have a robe or a jerkin, why not let us take that doctor mask off our face, it looks really weird especially on the snouted races.

Well the major problem is right now the mesh has been smushed back and lifted. It wasn't something anyone asked for, and looked great before. Now it just looks bad. If you're Argonian you pretty much just need to hide helmet because we've lost the only thing that didn't look terrible.

I agree, the mask part is really weird and not needed at all. It just forces me to either hide the hood or use one of the few hoods without the mask (which looks odd, depending on the main armor style).
