I guess you just usually glance over things. Overall, it looks like Oblivion Argonians, but if you look closely, the posture, proportions, feet and hands are different.

as long as they finally realize that argonians do not have boobs or a navel? the thing your are connected with before you where born thingy. those are mammal only and they are reptiles they come out of eggs and do not briastfeed or have that thing on yr tummy of which I don't know how it's called in english.

That's how human legs are portrayed a lot of the time though. They're never just straight down. It still looks very human to me. But I think the tail looks better, and it seems like they have more claw-like hands.

In the end though we won't know until we actually see them in game.


Argonians =/= earth reptiles

They're similar, but they should never be bound just because of an earthly rule.

It's the feet. Look at the feet. They are not human-like.

It's their game. They are free to make Argonian anatomy be however they please. I think they explained the "briast" thing before but I don't remember what the answer was. The short of it was they are intentional though.

It's just concept art. To me the feet look kind of blurred out, and not carefully drawn, especially since the view is on an angle.

But if I had to judge them I still think they look human. They look like they're just laying flat on the ground, like a humans.

I'm convinced it's wishfull thinking. I would have preferred the Morrowind style legs, or rather legs like the Draenei concept art I posted earlier, but even I'm convinced those are just calves. They may not look human (Shocking, I know, seeing as it's a lizardman) but I'm convinced they're calves nonetheless.

How about none?

what I was sayin

To hard to make all armor specialised for them, and I doubt Argonian ladies use male clothes so they have to wear lady clothes and armor.
Lizards with boobs is less strange than the Khajiit subtypes.

who cares if the argonian has beast legs..

HE'S HOLDING A SPEAR PEOPLE!!!!

They shouldn't have navels though. They've been said by a developer to be oviviparous (spelling?) which means that they incubate their eggs internally and give birth to live young but they still have eggs rather than carrying a fetus in a womb.

Argonians can be like in Oblivion for all I care, but it'd be cool if Khajiits could run four legs.

Actually, that's khajiit. The word "litter" is used when referring to khajiit children, so they have more than one at a time, so that would make sense. Judging from previous incarnations, only the top pair is "expressed", though :hehe:

I bet Argonians will have boobs though, it is an easy way for a human to regocnize something as a female. Didn't they have in Daggerfall too?

He's holding a weapon that has a long wooden handle. We can't see the top. It could be a spear, or it could be anything else with a long handle, such as a magic staff.

Do not temt the dino-nerd to go into nerdgasm!

I also like it. While I did find the beast-walk a little silly in Morrowind, I did like it better than the "New texture with tail and new head"-thing they had in Oblivion. It's a blurry picture, but it seems to be the best of both worlds. Human-like enough that armour will most likely not be that big of a concern, but beastlike enough to look original without going into anything too silly.

I hope for even more diversity between them. There are a lot of different shapes when it comes to reptiles and dinosaurs (To us picky nerds, dinosaurs aren't reptiles ).

Another thing about argonians: How is it with cold bloodedness? Yes, reptiles and amphibians, on wich they're based, are cold blooded, but I don't think that nesseserilly makes argonians coldblooded. What does the lore say about it?

I have a Chinese Water Dragon but he pretty much hangs out on a branch or sometimes lays in his pool. Anyway. Skyrim Argonian design is fine. Never liked the beast race legs in MW regardless of the no boots thing or not. In Arena and Daggerfall Argonians were 'more' human than either MW or OB so which is correct? The answer is whatever the designers want them to look like.

I hope they turn up like that in the game, I think that looks really cool :woot:

legs look lame

SUPER EDIT: OK

just noticed THE SPEAR

so now I don't give a **** they can give them duck legs for all I care we got spears back.

If this is how Argonians are going to look like im very pleased. It certanly look alot better in the art shown here then they did in oblivion. Like how the tail actually look a bit more realistic instead of a thing going straight out from your butt. legs I'm fine with whatever they decide, aslong it doesnt turn out to look horrible. Morowind style legs would look cool if designed good and with good running animation.

Wouldnt mind at all really if it where limitations to armor etc. aslong there was armors specificly for them. Would be cool to not be able to get just any armor but have to look up argonian made ones. But I strongly belive this wont be the case, as that would probably not appeal to all players. Especially not more casual gamers who'd be frustrated that they cant waer the high lvl armor they got from killing that bandit or something.

Depending how they end up in the real game I might play one as starter, liked them was only bit disapointed in the design in Oblivion

And why not? Because that's how it is on earth?

How do you know navels don't serve a different purpose on Nirn?

(I know it sounds ridiculous, but the point remains)

Seriously? When did this thread change it's topic from Argnoians to Spears? Oh, it didn't.
Not trying to sound pissy, but keep the speargasms in the spear thread please, it's not what this topic is for.

I know you guys really want spears back but so far all we know is that thing he's holding is a wooden stick... nothing more. You can choose to believe it's a spear, but it's far from confirmation. Not to mention not all concept art makes it into the game...

To be honest I think that looks better than both Morrowind and Oblivion style Argonians despite it being from behind.

Although... My dream Argonian would have Thane Krios-like voice and the legs of a Sangheili or Turian.
