Skyrim Easter Egg In No Man's Sky Gives Khajiit The Love They Deserve

screenrant.com:

A surprising Skyrim Easter egg featuring a space Khajiit has been randomly discovered in No Man’s Sky. And while an idea of a space cat sounds slightly bizarre, it’s not the weirdest life form present in the space exploration game by a long shot.

In No Man’s Sky, players can recruit space whales thanks to new gameplay mechanics introduced in the recent Leviathan update. In exchange for completing a challenging expedition that contains roguelike elements, players can earn their very own leviathan. The creature serves as a biological starship — or, according to developers, an organic frigate. The event is currently available in No Man’s Sky for fans to participate, but as a limited-time offer, and it will wrap up in a few weeks.

Redditor skandranon_rashkae probably didn’t expect to meet a Skyrim Khajiit lookalike when launching No Man’s Sky and approaching a random Traveler NPC for a conversation. The character was reminiscent of a cat person due to its highly modified cat-shaped head. When the player started a conversation with the NPC, a dialogue line in perfect Elder Scrolls’ Khajiit style appeared. The NPC told the player that "Traveler has wares, if you have units," perfectly mimicking an iconic line from the Khajiit traders in Skyrim. According to the player, the first interaction with the anthropomorphic space cat was rather generic. It was the second time the gamer approached the NPC when the Khajiit-related line appeared in the dialogue. Sadly, the character didn’t offer any Skooma.

While having an Easter egg as a fun piece of content in No Man’s Sky is indisputably entertaining, it’s the actual gameplay content players are most interested in seeing. According
