fixing the lore behind cold-blooded Argonians in Skyrim (the : V

» Mon Jun 27, 2011 6:39 pm

ok ok, im a Argonian fan, BUT i have to be honest the idea of playing a cold-blooded Argonian who grew up in a swamp but now lives in Skyrim kinda makes me feel stupid and unrealistic for some reason "yes i know this is a RPG where dragons exsits and you can throw fireballs at your finger tips"
Argonians are Cold blooded, my only sources is in Morrowind Argonians call you warm-blood
So i was wondering if anybody knew if there was any explanation of Argonians surviving the cold trundra in Skyrim... or if anyone had any ideas. Or is my Argonian frozen to death at the first dungeon before he could save Skyrim

P.s. Dragons aret reptiles and are not cold-blooded, i read this somewhere and yes "they will freezing to death" is a grammer error sorry

Who said they're cold blooded?

I always assumed Argonians were warm-blooded. Where does it say in the lore that they're cold-blooded?

Who said they're cold blooded?

its pretty clear argonians are a good bit more evolved than other reptiles
so theres no reason to think that they couldnt have developed a warm blooded system to live in more environments

Reptilian creatures are generally cold blooded, they metabolize differently and take on temperature of the environment. I can understand why this might be a problem in a location like Skyrim. They will need to wear some warm clothing to stay active.

I dont care, they are warm blooded adn what the hell is wrong with the rest of the poll. Seriously, get rid of it.

Wtf is with that poll?

Also they are warm-blooded.

Many of our dinosaurs were actually warm-blooded, there is no reason why Argonians couldn't be warm-blooded too.

Also, even if they were cold-blooded. That doesn't mean they would 'freeze' to death anymore than a warm-blooded creature. In fact, they would actually survive more severe cold temperatures than a warm-blooded creature, they just wouldn't move as quickly.

Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded have advantages and disadvantages.

Argonian's are just closely related to dinosaurs :thumbsup:

The activity cycle of Argonians strongly indicates an endothermic metabolism. They sleep about as regularly as other races, move about just as much, eat just as often, and respond similarly to temperature changes. They'd be uncomfortable in Skyrim due to having no hair and being well-adapted to warmer climates, but they'd be no less able to survive than any other race.

Just because they have scales doesn't mean they're reptiles. They have gills and briasts, too, you know.
