Are we even sure Argonians are going to be in the game? Putting lizards in such a cold climate doesn't seem like a great idea. Maybe for Skyrim Argonians will be switched out for a different race?

Yes they are going to be in the game. And yes, we have had argonians go into really cold climates before. Right-Wind was an argonian FG master in Bruma, and Basks-In-Sun was an argonian in Solstheim, not to mention my argonian in Morrowind can walk around Solstheim without much problems.

I'm hoping Argonians looks more like they did in Daggerfall or Morrowind, actually like beasts. Oblivion's Argonians were much too human-like for my tastes. As others have said, it would be awesome to be able to have beards like bearded lizards, or even a frill.

I like the second one, the first looks like a really athletic sload with legs. 2nd one looks about right though, maybe a bit more humanoid though.

it'd be neat if you could pick between scale types too, like smooth and small, or large and pointy, or crocodile-esque plates. a thicker neck like in this pic http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7564/awesomeargonianscetches.jpg for both beast races would go a long way for making them more animal imo.

Being Argonian was weird especially wearing Heavy Armor.
It would look like a Human just stuck a lizard mask on and glued a tail to the back of the armor.
i wish they made the armor look different instead of covering the whole body they get a chest plate
Leg plates and arm plates kind of like the pic of Lizard man Grimitch posted.

Daggerfall? http://media.photobucket.com/image/daggerfall%20argonians/Maccabeus/daggerfall/fall_061.png

Arena? http://images.uesp.net//f/fa/AR-Race-Argonian_Female.jpg

Of those two, Daggerfall, no question.

That's what I would assume the Tsaesci from Akavir would look like.

As per Argonians in the cold mountains; has it ever been confirmed anywhere whether or not they're actually cold-blooded?

I like the scale type customization, maybe different scale Patterns too instead of just little face marks.

I'd like them to have similar models to the iksar from EQ2, with the awesome spike hairstyle, scale patterns and faces and bodies and tails

Yeah...I love the iksar. I attribute my constant playing of argonians to them. Still waiting for a race mod of them (I wish I could mod).

I think they'll be in Skyrim. They're too awesome not to be.

I imagine Argonians being a bit like Khajiits (8 years of playing TES-games and I still can't remember how to spell that name...). I think of them as being rather varied, that some look like various kinds of twolegged dinosaurs, and some are simillar to moderns kinds of reptiles (Dinosaurs are not nesseserilly reptiles, but that seem to depend on who you ask). As has been said, they come from an area where feathers aren't very usefull, but I admit I'd get a nerdgasm if they had them. Even if I'm not that good at lore I do find it important and I think they should do whatever type(s) fits the lore best and that'll look the most awesome for what they're trying to create.

Just don't let the Kerra designer anywhere near the Khajiit.

EQ1's nearly a decade old models for the Vah Shir still look 10x better than the Kerra models in EQ2 in my opinion. They changed cats into ape-cat-things. <_<
