Korbah, could we seriously get some insight on release? Any kind of update or timetable?
Don't expect anything other than :"When its done." I've noticed that this phrase has become quite fashionable with modders and game developers in recent years.

For people who don't know Elder Scrolls universe - yes, there are cat men. I think it's stupid too.
This one approves.
Seriously though, this is amazing. Great stuff.
So -- a while back I asked what the Imperial portraits would look like, and I was told that they'd probably use the Mediterranean DLC set once released. Now that the DLC has been released, it seems that nobody likes the DLC. So I have to ask: will there be a separate set of olive-skinned portraits for Imperials, or will the Mediterranean DLC be used as a base anyway (assuming people have it)?
The DLC graphics are fine. No need to be putting pressure on the mod team to make where Paradox has already supplied.
I suppose if you dont want the mod out till august they could do a graphics set for every culture but really, Paradoxs do the job well enough. At most clothing replacements, some already shown, will do well enough to fit it into the style of the imperials. And those could probably be borrowed from Lux or other mods that have done romanish stuff

I've got the general idea that Bretons are not half-elves in the "traditional" sense of the word, as in, Humans with obvious elf features such as pointy ears. Just humans with some Mer blood in their veins, not enough to guarantee facial changes, but enough to give them natural affinity with magick. So I say they should use normal human portraits.
BTW, will the Mane's.... mane be avibable in the Ruler Designer? I might (and I really mean "might", I don't like Khajits much either) design my own dynasty of Simbas of the Pride Rock dinasty...

Imperials will look similar to the regular Western portraits but with a notable lack of beards. We did consider using the new Mediterranean portraits, but I don't think they really match how Imperials are portrayed in the games.
Bretons will look somewhere between the Nords and Imperials. A little more hairy than the Imperials, but not quite as viking as the Nords.
I think using normal Western faces for the Imperials will do. While in Skyrim you could note that some imperials were olive-skinned, standard portraits sounds like just the thing.
So will the Khajiit be ruled by a Mane at all times kinda like a pope or how will that work since only one Mane is should exist at any given time and they are the ruler of Elsweyr?
You kind of answered your own question. The Mane will always be the head of the khajiit specific religion "Riddle'Thar", and in the 2E start at least it controls a very large area of Elsweyr. The lore from what I remember states the Mane's power waxed and waned with each Mane, with some being powerful enough to assert their authority over the whole of Elsweyr while others were nothing but symbolic figure heads like the modern pope. Either way, the Mane themselves aren't playable as they are a theocratic ruler.
Amid all the excitement about portraits, it seems somewhat relevant to release a potentially controversial image.
This is a race which I have been putting off for a good while, because they are so difficult, but I think that my skills have developed enough now to be able to tackle them properly.
In particular, this is the Khajiit Mane (remember this is still very WIP), essentially the ruler of the Kingdom-level theocracy.

It's a shame the cat's dead. Shame.

He's not dead, he's just sleeping.
I had planned a release date around a certain christian celebration involving egg laying rabbits, but that date is uncertain/unlikely as there's also a new season of a certain television series coming out and when it does the popularity of a certain other mod around these parts will go up again, so it's not an ideal time for us to release. That's all I can say on the matter at the moment, need to discuss things with my team.
Korbah, just because some people will go flocking to The-Mod-Which-Drives-Sales does not mean that a sizeable portion of us would rather play Elder Kings. I personally, would rather play Elder Kings. It is disheartening to learn that I check this forum more than once a day for a game that probably won't even be released by Christian-Holiday-Of-Eggs Sunday. Surely there is something you can do or release. Open beta?
