Why are Argonians so awesome?

Post » Wed Jun 15, 2011 6:26 am

That makes it even worse. They abolish slavery and the Argonians still attack.

because the memories are still fresh. of being a slave of not being treated like a sentient being of being worked hours on end without rest and there only food being some bread and water and maybe if they are lucky some rat meat. they still remember the stories of slaves used as living containers. butchered by there masters over wrapped moon sugar that they where forced to swallow so that the guards wouldnt find it . sure the only person that was shown in morrowind that this almost happened to was rabbina but more then likely a few argonians underwent this horrid ordeal only to meet a slow painful end at the blade of a knife. and walking the streets knowing that the guards will likely do nothing about it if you are taken as a slave or killed simply for being argonian.

So I'm planning on playing a Nordic warrior for my first play through of Skryim because of the setting. After that I was going to be a stealthy assassin Khajiit/Bosmer (haven't decided). However, a ton of the people on the forums seem to think no race comes close to Argonians. I don't really see the appeal, but I am more than willing to be convinced that they are indeed as awesome as you say, so convince me to play as one!

What makes them awesome? They way they look? Sound? Act? A racial attribute? An Argonian from the lore that was awesome? From past games? Are they just inherently awesome, cool by virtue of being Argonian? Some other reason?


They have epic racial abilities (Water Breathing, resistance to poison, they're agile), and they're lizards, which is just plain cool.

Then why isn't there as much love for Khajiit?


No clue =o Everyone loves someone that talks in the third person right? RegdarDin certainly thinks so.

We'll just head high up into the mountains where the cold air and low levels of oxygen will render their gases inert.

They have nice lore.
They look cool.
They are rather unique compared to other races.
And they sounded pretty badass in The Infernal City.

Although I guess all those points count for the Khajiit as well... So I have no clue.

Oh Totally! They're so cool that they lost Morrowind to and Argonian uprising.


The only reason Argonians could pull that of was because the Dunmer first got hit by a meteorite and the eruption of Tamriel's largest volcano.

The good thing about them is their skin.

Their skin is good for making boots.

Resistance ( or immunity) to poision. Underwater breathing...and at least in morrowwind a much different type of playthrough since you could not wear certain armor pieces.

Also their tails are quite tasty when grilled over an open flame smothered in some Scrib jelly.

Argonians are so awesome, but i guess for me its because i always liked dinos

my guess for other people
you dont really see any Lizard people in other RPGs even the big ones, and if you do its a feral humaniod who drops loot and lives in a cave or something, if you play a race JUST because of its special abilitys your lame im sorry (diseases resistance and underwater breathing can both be found in any pot) but Argonian are truely a unique RPG race, lets be honest 4 of the races look like humans, orcs are everywhere, 3 other races look like elves Khajiit and Argonians are unique

I honeslty dont know why Khajiit dont get as much love MY GUESS is that cats are more popular in japaness anime RPGs who arnt playing Skyrim but insted other japaness crap

Argonians lore-wise would own in the wasteland in fallout lol...i made a mistake being a imperal in oblivion :sadvaultboy:

Real quick i didnt get the new lore, when the Argonians tookover morrowind, did Black Marsh get destroyed or attacked? darkelves are my second best race >.<

Never liked them, I can understand those who do but tbh I never played one and never will, probably. Can't bring myself to taking serious a talking raptor with boobs. Now orks, different story. They got all the awesome and then some.

Argonians aren't awesome.

They are pondscum that should be kept down by the Dunmer race.

then why did argonia conquer Morrowind if the Dunmer are so Superior? No answer? Didn't think so :biggrin:

Are you sure? When I saw them I thought they were half Pig, half Bear and half Man.

Could be wrong though. . .
