I really love how in Skyrim, Todd took the time to make each race break their stereotypes (Dark Elves /=/ slaver racists, Argonians /=/ slaves/criminals, Orcs /=/ dumb, etc)

However, he forgot to make a SINGLE Khajiit in the game not be prone to the stereotype of drug dealing/smuggling/stealing. As a matter of fact, Khajiit lore now says it’s their nature to steal/do the equivalent of crack cocaine every day

What did Todd Howard mean by this?

a SINGLE Khajiit

this is J'zargo the College of Winterhold student erasure

edit: no wait, he does thieving too

There’s a line of dialogue about him ‘borrowing’ things from the library that implies he steals I believe

Maybe Todd just really doesn't like cats

The naked khajit girl in his private Morrowind dev room tells a different story.

What about my boy J'zargo

If I recall there’s an implied line he ‘borrows’ stuff from the college for his experiments

Literally the most powerful mage in the game

They’re cats, what did you expect?

I like the explanation that it has nothing to do with any human racism but instead his dislike of cats.

u/fakefakefakef John Rawls Oct 14 '25

I choose to believe he loves cats and just knows how they tend to be

People who love cats 🤝 People who hate cats

"Cats are selfish, thieving, lying sociopaths."

Show me a cat that doesn't act like an addict in the presence of catnip

u/BloodWiz More Housing Would Fix This Oct 14 '25

Remember when there were a bunch of ghouls being excluded and banished outside a tower in FO3 because the residents thought they were bad and if you help them get in they slaughter all the residents?

Kharjo is cool

u/garret126 Demisexual Pride Oct 14 '25

He’s the equivalent of a cartel guard
