I have to admit I don't understand why people would want them "more intimidating." As a race of people obviously some would be intimidating, but why should they all look like that?

I really like http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/027/5/5/skyrim__s_argonian_drawing_by_xxxbanditxxx-d383uyh.png. I'm hoping for something like that: a happy medium between the craziness of the Morrowind designs and the more humanoid Oblivion design.


They aren't wild animals they are people, and as such they could learn to cope. Can humans naturally live in as cold climates as they do in the real world? Nope! You have to remember Skyrim is NOT cold all year round either, except in its more mountainous areas. There's a whole continent to the North in fact. It's more like Britain or Southern Canada, I think. Obviously that's not certain since this is Nirn and not Earth.


Why the heck shouldn't they have underwear?? They are people not wild animals. There's a M`aiq quote just waiting to be born out of this one, no offense. The female Argonians have always had briast-like structures so I can't imagine that will suddenly change. If I recall Bethesda actually explained that one but I don't remember the exact quote. I know the Argonians were confirmed to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovoviviparity.

Jut remove them this time. They don't belong in Skyrim's cold climate, the lizard fans should just be made to wait until the next game.

Considering that the Argonians conquered Morrowind sometime after Oblivion, I'd say there will be several Argonians in the eastern half of Skyrim. Not to mention that the eruption of Red Mountain (which destroyed Vvardenfell, btw) may have changed the climate of eastern Skyrim. Both the invasion and eruption were mentioned in the novel The Infernal City (which takes place 40 years after Oblivion). Did nobody read it? http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Books:The_Infernal_City

The Argonians are confirmed to be ovoviviparous, meaning they have internal fertilization and the mothers do not lay an egg until the baby is ready to hatch. I'm not sure if the lore confirms external "features" but a quick Google search reveals that it's not out of the question. I did not search for pictures nor do I plan to, however.

So...Argonians don't hatch from giant eggs? I'm kind of disappointed now... If they don't come from an egg that the mother lays, why do they use the term "hatchling" I seem to remember the Argonian from the DB missions mentioning that they were hatched.

NO remove the dunmer they should be argonian slaves after the argonians took over morrowind. p.s dunmer svck (only the ones that enslave argonians)

I hope they don't do armor restriction for beast races.

I would like them to look something like this: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/102/f/2/black_marsh_v1_by_redmorpho-d3du879.png

theyre not mini-dragon awesome soldiers,
theyre lizards
and lizards shouldnt look that cool
(im an argonian hater)

There should be barely any living in Skyrim. Nords and Imperials should make up about 70% of the population.

they should look very tough looking. they would have to be tough to endure skyrims relatively cold climate.

You are all saying how you don't like oblivion argonians.
