on the topic of khajiit and argonians

Post » Thu Aug 25, 2011 9:55 pm

heyy everybody :flamethrower: , so i wanted to know why there is so much bad feelign bettween khajit and argonians?

why do they bother ocnstantly takeing the mickey out of eachother , its sorta pointless....?

also, i dont know why people are always saying " i could never bring myself to play as a khajit or argonian"
i mean, serousley i think playing as them opens up another interesting angle to the game

seems to me that argonains and kahjits never seem to be able to stick up for themselves, whenver oyu see slaves it aslways these 2 races....

please post what you think of these races, since id like to know whether most poele dont share my opinoun

I like both Khajiit and Argonians. I've never played as an argonian but I have played as a Khajiit and she was awesome. She used only her fists and didn't wear armour. She could kill nearly anything she encountered with a few swift punches.

I don't know why some people don't really like them, they have excellent bonuses. Khajiit have nighteye and Argonians can breathe underwater.

I don't know much about their lore but I'm sure someone will be along soon who does know and will be able to explain better than I can why they hate each other.

Hmmm. Well I like cat people, but have never had the inclination to play one.

For Argonians, I chose "dislike". I have nothing against them as beings, and have toyed with the idea of playing one, but I dislike the way they're portrayed in Oblivion. I'm a D&D traditionalist, where lizard folk were always found out in the wild, in their own camps or swamps, far away from "civilization". In my mind, they're supposed to be brutes. I hate seeing them (and orcs) in towns, wearing townie clothes, speaking ordinary English, running ordinary shops. :shrug: I don't feel the same about Khajiit because they are Bethesda's creation, not found in any other RPG AFAIK.

I like Khajiits but simply hate Argonians/Reptilians. If you knew what I know, you would too

I like both, although I've only played argonian so far. I find it too easy to make khajiit jokes. :D

Been spending time on a certain "agenda" site have ya? :P Sounds like your nord character's is gonna absolutely detest argonians in Skyrim. They look more reptilian than ever.

I've never disliked them in the game as i like variety but would never play one, but seeing those pics I might do in skyrim, are those from actual gameplay? because they look insanely good

Forgive me if that joke flies over my head. I haven't played Never Winter Nights. :blush:

I believe those are pics of actual Skyrim gameplay. I gleaned them from http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1223779-journalist-character-screens-quakecon-london/, anyway.

Ah! Well Deekin is a little kobold you could have as one of your companions in the game. Kinda of a very tiny dragon/reptile guy that was a bard. Here's a pic http://www.gamebanshee.com/neverwinternights/henchmen/deekin.php He was the cutest!

Ah. Well, from what I've read about Skyrim, maybe we can hire a blue argonian as a companian and nickname him Deekin. :D

Well there you go. Remember, all great men are laughed at before the rest realize the truth. And the ones in power can say "Hey, we warned you!" :toughninja:

Argonians are the best.
Kitties are gross.

Just kidding. I really just am a person IRL who likes lizards, snakes, and dinosaurs. I think the scales look cool. Lol. So I really liked Argonians. Because I like Argonians, I gave into lore and hate kitties.

I do like the Khajiit and I've more than one for a character. I find the Argonians are interesting as well, though I don't think I'll ever play one. And what rule says all lizard type races must be brutes? Just because it's canon for D&D, means nothing in Nirn. Different worlds, different laws. Plus, I find Bethesda's portrayal of orcs fascinating. They chose to make them people and not just monsters.
