There hardly being any race specific dialog in the entire game always pissed me off.

>Playing a female redguard with a scar, find a couple of redguard manhunters accosting a redguard woman in the wilderness. At no point do they even consider me a possible suspect.


>Walk into Windhelm for the first time as a dunmer, not a single line of that damn 'the dark elves are spies!' conversation is changed, no matter how stupid that makes it seem.


>Play an altmer, every Thalmor related questline goes exactly the same as before.


>Khajiit players don't even get a single line of extra dialog about why they're allowed inside cities when others aren't.


I think a few npcs might call mer dragonborns 'elf', and NotThree-Dog actually has one whole extra line of dialog if you're a Redguard. That's it.

There is one change. In the quest where you have to infiltrate the Thalmor Embassy, you can wear a hooded robe and pretend to be a Justicar. Even order around some dudes, IIRC.

Cold blooded organisms rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. If Argonians are really cold blooded then they wouldn't be able to live in Skyrim at all. At least not the northernmost areas.

I've thought of them to be closer to some dinosaurs, especially considering they can grow feathers (pic related).They could be mesotherms (in between cold and warm blooded) or maybe it's just the same hist magic that gives the females boobs for some reason.

I looked around the lore for proof that they're cold blooded, I haven't found any. I'm pretty sure they aren't cold blooded based off of what we know about them.

That would make perfect sense if argonians didn't have scales, teeth, and horns, unlike amphibians.


 No.7283

From what I understand they can just be manipulated by the Hist to "fit" whatever environment they find themselves in, similarly to how there are many different types of Argonians in Black Marsh a la Khajiit.

hey chief most salamanders have teeth and a few species have horns. They don't have scales though.

>>7275

I think some NPC in Skyrim mentions that one of his colleagues was "moving slower than an Argonian in a snowstorm", but this might just be in-universe nonsense or Skyrim raping the lore as usual.

But really, the best argument for Argonians being warm-blooded is the fact that they have tits.


 No.7334

>>7314

That line doesn't necessarily mean they are cold blooded, we know they are better swimmers than other races, maybe their water-adapted feet move slower on snow? The beast-races seem to really dislike Skyrim's climate anyway (Khajit, Argonians).

>>5647

Well, there is that one High Elf in Windhelm who seems fairly accepted, and the Stormcloaks are more nationalist than racist.

Oh us poor Dark Elves, we're not on top anymore, boo-hoo.

We're the Dark Elves you Nord trash, we demand that you deal with our problems! Don't expect anything in return, we don't actually want to be here.

>doesn't change the fact that skyrim is thier home

Well they certainly don't treat it like a home. Nords are extremely nationalistic, especially in the East. If you're not willing to die for Skyrim than you have no place there. Now imagine what they think of a population that lives in Skyrim, but doesn't even consider themselves citzens?

Isn't there something about Argonians' physiology slowly adapting to different climates the longer they live there due to mutagenic hist bullshit To the point some are more or less cold blooded than others depending on where they're from and in the extreme possibly even causing them to switch from live birth to egg laying. Or was that just a fan theory

Skyrim was already castigated by the liberal dominated gaming journalist establishment for "white supremacy", so Bethesda is probably hesitant to increase the racialism of TES

its very unfortunate because I completely agree with you both, its one reason why I enjoyed playing an Orc in Skyrim, there's relatively more race specific dialogue.

all liberals should be killed imo


 No.10857

>>10834

>liberal dominated gaming journalist establishment for "white supremacy",

I'd like to think Bethesda is smart enough to look at places like the forums and shit rather than focus on a bunch of women who only use games as a political platform. They're not as good as /tes/ obviously but better than fucking "game journalists".

I'm also probably retarded and they'll do the exact opposite, then copy and paste youtube comments to write the entire script for TES VI.
