Why are Argonians so awesome?

Post » Tue Jun 14, 2011 7:47 pm

My first character was... an Orc. Next, after learning my guy had terrible stats (I picked a default class O_O) I went with an Argonian assassin. I became Grandmaster of the Arena, Listener of the Dark Brotherhood, and Gray fox of the thieves' guild. I like Argonians well enough, but they just can't stack up to an Orc.

What's better than a dinosaur? A dinosaur who can breathe fire. What's an Argonian Dragonborn? A walking talking dinosaur who can breathe fire, wield hundreds of weapons and armour pieces and kick the former in the rear. That's why Argonians rock.


If this doens't convince people to play as argonians nothing will

Why argonians are so awesome?
Because they can be 4in1
Friends, companions, cheap labor and boot material :tongue:

That's actually very compelling. Depending on how they look in Skyrim, I might give them a try.

Eh, I just liked them because they looked cool and were kinda exotic. Plus in Oblivion they were the least ugly looking race in the game, and EVERYONE KNOWS IT!

aside being very unique people are also pretty hyped up about them since they are the only bestial race we haven't been shown yet.

I don't understand the love for Argonians and I'm not trying to. They're easily my least favourite race. I'm not a fan of half-human animals in general but Khajiits are at least half-cats and cats are awesome. I'd get it if they were half-dragon or half-snake, but I'll never understand what's so great about bloody half-lizards.

They do make fairly good slaves, even if I do prefer kahjiits....

They are the ones who destroyed the dark elves, which is enough to make them great.

Personally I have never played any playthrough of any TES game as one of the beast races (usually play as a warrior/battle mage type), but after seeing the screenshot of the Khajiit I may just have to in Skyrim. That that looks like a cat you dont want to mess with.

I'm looking forward to seeing a screenshot of an argonian.

You can do recommendation quest for mages guild without fear of drowning (the one with ring of burden)

Apart from that their ability to breathe underwater is useless (especially since we can create potions for that, or carry around small enchanted ring for that)

As much as I love Dunmer and loathe the fact that they were invaded, Argonians are pretty awesome too and it's not like they don't have a reason. Though they had made slavery illegal before, right?

I think they are the most distinct race, good looking, funny names, fairly awesome racials, and a lot of mystery surrounding their homeland. Awesome enough in my book.

They kick dunmer butt, they can breathe underwater, they are resistant to most diseases, they make good stealth characters, they are funny and most of all they are lizardmen. Hell you can even roleplay a d&d dragonborn in Skyrim with one. And most of all they are the most popular race without the help of a game's popularity.

Argonians are awesome. :mohawk:

Cuz they like graqefruit, thats the only reason you need. All other races are nothing compared to those who embrace the healing powers of graqefruit.

Who wants fried lizard? Bretons are more powerful than the argonians anyday they may not be that special but they pack a punch...

Imagine this

City-swimmer walks around a corner and up some stairs she walks into a bretons house at midnight BUT the breton has detect life and then conjures a daedric sword and slahes her then casts :flamethrower: "enemies explode" courtesy of Delphine Jend

what are you left with?
