Am not furry, but this bothers me for the same reason Morrowind did, “beast races can’t wear helmets/boots.”
Fuck you my guy, there’s whole ass races of Lizards, Orcs, and Cats, and not fucking one of them saw the gear on the Mer, Bretons, Redguard, etc, and said “hey that’s a good idea, I’ll make these for my people with ear slots/covers (or holes for horns and elongated snouts) and make a killing in Balmora” really?! I don’t believe it, I can buy no boots on the cats because they’d use those claws (even though they don’t in game) so they’d likely be averse to them, and Argonians could be averse to all heavy armor because they swim, but they aren’t it’s just boots and helms, and even medium or light boots or helms at that, and there’s no given lore reason AFAIK other than “weird shaped heads and feet” which again no fuck you that’d be taken care of if there were a market for it hands down. Sure maybe no elven helmets would fit, the Altmer are pretentious fucks who would literally not make it to be racist, but there would be at least something for them even if it was made by a Breton blacksmith who wants money, or hell the whole ass Fighter’s Guild would want to protect their prospects and create it.
What I’m trying to say is if there’s a race of deer/horned people, someone is going to make a bed with a big gap in the headboard for the horns to fit, or completely lacking a headboard, or some better idea that can only come from someone with horns (or at least not someone only thinking about this bed for the first time right now). Hell I’ve had beds without headboards, they already make em!
Yeah, from a world building perspective it feels weird. Like, accessibility is a big thing irl with disabilities? Unsure why cat people wouldn’t just like…invent shit??

Seriously! Drives me nuts.
