WHERE'S MY TAIL!?

[Inktail]

Has anyone else run into this bug with argonian and khajiit characters where if you put them in a robe or some long clothing, their tails vanish? It is kinda jarring and was curious if this bug existed in the original oblivion and I was too distracted by killing stuff to notice till now?

Wasn’t an issue in the old one. It’s not a bug though as they designed it that way on purpose.

I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. I found a few other topics about it on other sites, and I always search before making a topic and here we are.

I hope it's an issue they fix. It looks dumb.

I'm doing a mage build this time and it stinks not being able to wear a robe without it looking awful. However the clothes in the shops doesn't cost much, and the shirt and pants I bought do not chop off my khajiit's tail.

You have a source for that?

Chest piece must be using the tail slot.

Speaking of bugs, I can't quote that message without the quote itself never ending. Anyway: That's a fan site, but has it been acknowledged by the developers? I can't imagine so considering it was the end of the week and now weekend, but I'm curious if this is on their radar at all.

It goes beyond that. Argonian and Khajiit tails are borked in general. They're not properly attached to the model's skeleton so they clip through everything. Fully loot an Argonian or Khajiit corpse and flip them face down if you wanna see what I'm talking about.

tail clipping into walls and what not seems to be a litteraly every game ever thing if you mean that by clipping, but i just think they look more stiff and motionless more so

No, I'm talking about this:

You can even see where the texture has the little hole in it to accomodate the tail but the tail is attached to the skeleton in the wrong place.

Very unfortunately attached, I might add.........

i guess thats alsol why they look so stiff

They're also whipping the horses into shape during galloping.

I actually kinda like that bit. I think it's a little added spiciness.

You could always name your character without-tail

I hope they fix it as I'm playing as an argonian mage and she looks cursed wearing a robe lol
