Mabye there will be a slider for how much hist sap your argonian had that will change which type of argonian it is. And an option for a Khajiit to choose one of the biped forms. Also more customization for both of these races colorization would be awesome, I never thought my Argonian Rainbow-Scale was colorful enough.

I expect most Argonians in Skyrim will be Nobles. At the time this game is set, they have taken over Morrowind, remember? :)

Heck yeah. We lizards have all the powah.


I kinda hope to see some limb severing and all that in the game... and the ability to chop the tails of a Khajiit. (Fine, argonians too >:|) ANy Khajiit with the unluckiness to fight me would find him/herself being flogged to death with themselves XD

Maybe even breaking peoples teeth? Punch a random orc, and watch those canines fly. Maybe we'll even get to chop off an elf's ears XD (I'm coming for you dunmer!) This would make the races more unique wouldn't it?

The main thing I want to see in races - different voices..

Orcs sound the same as nords... High elves sound the same as wood elves... Khajiit sound the same as argonian.. I want some kind of diversity

Probably because it would be awkward for someone, who is a vampire, to be put in jail instead of just burned on the spot.

I'd like to see a different kind of Khajiit, other than the Suthay-Raht. Maybe the Cathay or Cathay-Raht?

Nah, in Oblivion they just treated my feeding like any other crime, meaning they really weren't "shocked" about Vamps running around. Probably just thought of me as a big mosquito, but I was vaguely Dunmer enough to warrant jail time instead of immediate execution.

Anyway, I'm sure there are a million reasons...maybe you're just stage one, and able to "hide" it better, y'know?

Bethesda podcast is where I heard it. Oblivion 5 year anniversary episode they say they have 30 more people on skyrim then oblivion, and they have almost twice as many voice actors.

Actually, that would be cool to be able to be a creature for a race in Skyrim. Like that scamp named creeper in Morrowind. Sure, you wouldn't win most fights and people would hate you but it would be fun.

I guess that what mods are for. :|

Actually, being a Dreugh could be very possible to do. Since they're a highly evolved creature, it could be done. :idea:

It would probably be considered homicide or some form of cannibalism if they did that :lol:
