First things first, are Argonians the same as there lizard counterparts? Ergo; Cold blooded? If so how do you think Bethesda will tackle this in the "not-so-balmy" climate that is Skyrim?
If the case is that they are cold blood then wouldn't an Argonian fall "asleep" upon reaching the frigid mountain tops? Is there a special breed of Argoinians that is acclimatized to the cold? Personally that is my bet... Either that or they ignore the fact altogether and make it another Maiq the Liar joke.

The way they slaughtered my beloved Dunmer I would say they are definitely cold blooded.

They should be warm-blooded, must be, otherwise they would die and I would be sad.

Does anyone actually know whether they are warm or cold blooded?

Would be nice to find many frozen Argonians over the land! Muhaha!

Let them all die...

Yeah I said it, They deserve to die and I hope they all burn in hell!

They shall get there retribution :flame:

Why do I get the idea many people are going to play as über-racist Dunmer? :tongue:

Maybe they will just bundle up?

And to think I was actually curious as to what people might have to say on this subject...

Yes, For the dunmer!

Anyways, there probably either warm blooded or it will be like a funny thing NPCs talk about

Maybe they'll hibernate during the winter like the lizards we have in Norway have too XD. Cold-blooded animals dont last very long in freezing temperature, not even a day.

AFAIK there's only one Argonian in the frosty Morrowind-expansion Bloodmoon: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Basks-In-The-Sun.
He complains about the cold all the time, and the Morrowind clothiers' inability to make argonian shoes, I don't think he menthions anything about being cold blooded.

In Morrowind, if an Argonian doesn't like you much, he'll call a non-Argonian a "warmblood".

So, yeah.

Still, Skyrim isn't all snow, and there's instances of Argonians living up north anyway. There's a few in Bloodmoon, and one or two in the Skyrim part of Shadowkey.

To take from another thread where I posted on the matter:

"Cephorus concentrated his army on the war in High Rock, while his brother Magnus, King of Lilmoth, brought his Argonian troops through loyal Morrowind and into Skyrim to fight in Potema's home province. The reptilian troops fought well in the summer months, but during the winter, they retired south to regroup and attack again when the weather was warm. At this stalemate, the War lasted out two more years." - The Wolf Queen, Book Seven

They may not have been able to do great during Winter, but they can survive.

Re: Do Argonians lay eggs? [Re: Vireyar]

Or because an Argonian says that he didn't hatch yesterday ... *cough* Just a figure of speech, I suppose.
Which is why I said "Perhaps it is both, as necessity demands."

Never underestimate the adaptability of Argonians, or, more specifically, the power of the Hist to allow Argonians to adapt.

I wouldn't expect to hear an Argonian born in Skyrim (or on Solstheim, for that matter) mention being hatched. Nor would I expect to hear more transient Argonians (say, members of a small, nomadic tribe) speak about laying eggs. However, in warmer climates, in places with established, stable, and permanent communities, you would likely see a great number of eggs.

This means that not only can Argonians live in Skyrim, but can be born there.

"You get used to the cold. Got a good set of fur boots to keep my feet warm. Give a Nord a good thumping to keep the blood flowing, khah-khah-khah." -- Right-Wind -- Argonian in Bruma

It's pretty much agreed upon that Argonians are NOT fully cold-blooded. Neither are many animals on earth, most notably the great white shark

Maybe if they weren't enslaved for so long they would not have held such animosity. The Dunmer got what they deserved.

All my characters are Dunmer in both Morrowind and Oblivion, but they're only racist against the Argonians, who I've hated since day one. The Infernal City made me hate them even more, and if Skyrim doesn't have a single Argonian in it (which would make sense in a cold snowy climate, at least I think it does) I honestly will be very happy indeed. Good riddance to the filthy lizards.

:frog: thats my argonians for you! how they survive, i have no idea. they really wont like the climate. remember that argonian in solshteim?

Argonians deserve their moments to survive. They have been being picked on for ages. They are all fed up with dunmer taking their kinsman, thats the main reason they invaded Morrowind, blame House Dres. I love dunmer, but argonians are my true favorite. Many will hate argonians until their moment comes in the elder scrolls. They are so mysterious, I always wanted to explore Argonia, I hope someday I get the chance.
Die all racist dunmer!
What, can't get the spears out there butts?

Yeah, because his feet were cold. As Right-Wind from Bruma says, all you need is a good pair of fur boots to keep your feet warm.

Wait, when did this happen? last i heard in the Dunmer-Argonian relation was that the Dunmer used to forcibly abduct argonians from Black Marsh and make them slaves....

Sigh... I really should read the Infernal City some time...
I have it lying around here somewhere. :tongue:
