So... what'chu guys think? I, for one, is very satisfied to what they did to the races, particulary to the Orsimer. Just like what an Orcish Pariah should look like, hell yeah!

The Khajiit looked BEAST, man. Seriously.

I definitely like the way the Khajiit looks.

I was a little put off by the sheer amount of long ape-ish hair on the beast Khajiit, the thought of female breasts poking through all that...or would they be hairy too? GAAAAH!!! - but I did like the Khajiit's face, very cat-o-rific.

Well, since it is a cat, shouldn't we expect multiple pairs of nipples along the abdomen? I'd understand a single set of mammary glands amongst the more human- and elf-looking varieties, but it looks as though Bethesda is trying hard to physically differentiate the various races as much as possible.

For one, I think it's a great thing. The Orsimer really look like savage, brutish, hulking elves (Note to self, make character named Brus gro-Bahnar) instead a green-skinned cross-breed of Nords and Altmer. The Khajiit look like actual descendants of feline ancestry that don't share ancestry with the other races, something I hope they do for Argonians as well. And the return of tattoos and options on manly facial hair sounds promising. They added great character and variety to Morrowind's NPCs and even if you couldn't customize your face, they at least felt like a reflection of a realistic setting.

with the new beast race looks, I wonder what the child khajiit and argonians will look like.

then again, I wonder what ALL child races will look like, since theres nearly nothing about elven, beast, nord or orcish children mentioned in the lore

Here is an example of what you will see for each race's offspring in Skyrim:
