Minor criticism for the new Elsweyr trailer.

Why is the Khajiit female in the new video trailer so slow to react and slow to move when running from the dragon? Even an old man like Abnur Tharn easily out ran her.
Khajiit are known for their swift reflexes right? (Cat reflexes dur) And are also known to be fleet of foot. So why portray the first Khajiit we see for Elsweyr as a lumbering slow person?
Abnur even had to drag her to safety at the end of the cave tunnel.
Not the way I would of done the video tbh. It's a very minor problem, but wondering if anyone else thought the same?

Zathras✭✭✭✭✭I think it's more a matter that Abnur ran ahead of her, so had a head start, rather than the Khajiit being impaired in some way.
Self-preservationist and all that.
Also, no one has seen dragons in their lifetime, so she kept looking and looking back as she ran. Fear/awe and ..curiosity (being a cat) slowed her down.Edited by Zathras on January 20, 2019 2:20PMFor a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen. - Douglas Adams
It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams25 -

orion_1981usub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭A few reasons you need to think about...
1, never out run your employer. He might survive.
2, she failed her saving throw cause she's lower level. Dragons are scary.
3, moon sugar is a hell of a drug, don't do drugs before exploring ruins.
4,she looks back several times, never look back it slows you down.
5, sexy khajit aren't use to running away from things (I honestly wouldn't know but I have a friend how likes furries, and he wouldn't shut up)
6, Tharn ran away from molag bal, you got to be a good runner for that.

iiYuki✭✭✭✭✭Tharn has worked around demons, necromancers and gods he sensed the danger and reacted straight away the Khajiit obviously didn't expect a dragon of all things to pop out till it had already spotted her."Play how you want... unless its not how we intended you to play in which case we'll nerf it".

✭Only two things I have a minor issue with in the trailer are:
-I had to read that was a female khajiit. Otherwise I would have thought it was just a dude. Then again I only watched the trailer once so I guess those details can slip by.
-I had to read that guy was Abnur Tharn. Really looks nothing like the in-game model. Nothing at all.
Other than that it looks really good.1 -

If there's one area in which Abnur Tharn excels, that would be it.I think it's more a matter that Abnur ran ahead of her, so had a head start, rather than the Khajiit being impaired in some way.
Self-preservationist and all that.
P.S.: I thought Abnur was pretty damned sexy in the video.

Because originally that was not the forum name of this one. Also tradition and some travellers worry if this one stops yes.

Donari✭✭✭✭Tharn has RIncewind-level running-away skills. He started running, Khajiit was more courageous. Did you see that *you so stupid* look she gave Tharn once out on the ledge?

Only a khajiit would think about pick pocketing an angry dragon before running from it! Smh.0 -

Crafts_Many_Boxes✭✭✭✭✭Why is everyone freaking out about the Khajit running so slowly when the real issue is how absolutely massive Tharn looks? Seriously, if there are roids in Tamriel, Tharn found a few truckloads full.1

✭Tharn is a survivor, or to put it less charitably, he is a coward, so he GTFO'd before the cat even knew what was going on.3 -
