There are many different types of Khajits. Maybe that's one of them.

There's only one type of Khajiit in the game (at least at launch), the Suthay-raht, and that really only determines their body structure. I'm just going by the graphics and choppy animations. I don't get it. Some clips I've seen of the game have looked fairly decent graphics-wise, but others look like ass.

Saddam expects realistic rendering of fur, or so help him Ra there'll be trouble.

I think you've forgotten about Oblivion

And I don't know what was going on with them in Arena and Daggerfall:

Basically, Khajiit are always ugly.

It's an MMO.

Terrible game design. No AI, clear enemy patterns, dumbest WoW player could beat it etc. I watched a few Let's Plays of it.

While this is a joke, I am in the beta and the game has been pretty terribly designed. Overall it is more or less a copy and paste of WoW with some Elder Scrolls characters thrown in. The first person view is neat but you can still feel the basic fights are still exactly the same. The class system is well done, but doesn't make a point to tell you that classes ultimately don't control what you can do. I won't be buying it in the future.

Is it me or is the topography of the whole area totally different?

But Rushy, you're the Chosen One! You and you alone are the hero!

Yeah, I agree from what I've played. I was tentatively and cautiously excited, but meh, it seems like generic MMO galore. My interest quickly waned from thereon out. :[

After playing for a bit you realize that first person is a gimmick. Not only is it easier to play in third person, it offers real gameplay advantages. Is someone coming up behind you? You wouldn't know in first person, but you would in third. It's a sort of situational awareness god mode. First person is only useful when you have to aim, which means it isn't useful at all in ESO.

Of course third person has advantages over first person, but I believe first person is used in rpgs mostly for added immersion.

Anyone who plays ESO for its immersion is going to have one hell of a bad time.
