If you're thinking about playing as a Khajiit in Oblivion Remastered, congratulations—you've chosen to be Cyrodiil’s resident sneaky cat. But before you start dreaming of stealth kills and moon sugar, let’s cover what being a Khajiit actually means in this remaster.

Oh, and yes—you’re stuck with the facial fur. No, you can’t remove those beards or sideburns in character creation. It’s part of the charm… or curse, depending on how picky you are.

What Makes Khajiit Special?

Khajiit aren’t just fuzzy faces. They come with a few perks that make them perfect for players who prefer stealth and speed over charging into battle like a clueless Nord.

• Natural Stealth: Khajiit get bonuses to Sneak, Acrobatics, and other "I-didn’t-see-anything-officer" skills.

• Night Eye Ability: See in the dark without needing a torch. It’s like built-in night vision goggles, but furrier.

• Increased Agility and Speed: You’ll be quicker on your feet whether you'r sprinting away from a fight or leaping over clueless guards.

The Beard/Sideburns Customization Problem (Or Feature?)

In Oblivion Remastered, Khajiits come with permanent sideburns or beards as part of their facial design. You can tweak fur patterns, colors, and facial structure—but if you were hoping for a clean-shaven kitty, too bad. Bethesda decided Khajiits look better with a bit of scruff.

Consider it part of their rugged, roguish aesthetic. Or just pretend it’s a cultural thing.

Best Playstyle for Khajiit

If you're picking Khajiit, here’s how to get the most out of them:

• Focus on stealth builds—think Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, or just being that annoying person who steals everything not nailed down.

• Use your agility to avoid direct combat. You’re not built to tank hits like an Orc.

• Take advantage of Night Eye in dungeons—it saves you from carrying 50 torches.

• Pair with classes like Assassin, Thief, or go custom with a focus on Sneak, Acrobatics, and Security.

Final Blurb

Khajiits in Oblivion Remastered are fast, sneaky, and perfect for players who like to avoid fair fights. Just be ready to embrace those permanent sideburns—there’s no barber in Cyrodiil brave enough to shave a Khajiit.

If you can live with a little extra facial fluff, you’ll be prowling through the shadows in no time.
