Does anyone like them and if you do post here why.

I don't really favor them. I mean, for playability they aren't special in anything other than resisting poison and water breathing.

As for other NPCs I like them. Most of them are nice, funny and helpful.

Never had any reason to use them. Water-breathing has not exactly been a hard spell or enchantment to come across, and the gameplay experience was never substantially different for them. Better perks were available for other races. If Bethesda actually succeeds at giving each race a substantially different experience, I might try them out.

I like them. They don't get any especially useful perks, but they look awesome, and they have some pretty interesting lore behind them

So what ur saying is they Blow Dick

i would like them better if there was more reasons to spend extended periods of time under water

and if lizard people breathing water made sense

That might be hard, Hadrian, as Argonians don't really have lips.

I understand Ralock but dude the ability to make water breathing and also the amount of already enchanted water breathing things are like no point in even having them.

what are you trying to say to me . . . I dont even understand

There is no reason to spend extended periods of time underwater, if there was having to continually take a potion might be annoying.


but really it serves no purpose other than to make the argonians more unique

plus i got my water breathing necklace

but i could have better necklaces if the enchantment was built into my character

but I dont need it, there is no reason ever that I know of for me to spend time underwater

so I dont play an argonian

Worthwhile submerged locations were definitely a missed opportunity in Oblivion and Morrowind. It would be nice if Skyrim took advantage of all that real estate.

there okay but i wont play as one i will play as a Dark Elf or a Nord but that's it.

Filthy Lizard lovers...

I appreciate this analogy.

And really, I didn't have much reason to play them. They needed a tailwhip attack.

Here's my reasons why:

1. They're quite the unique race, with a mysterious history and interesting culture.

2. Their homeland from what I've read sounds awesome.

3. They look quite appealing in both Morrowind and Oblivion. (My preference is Morrowind with the reverse hinge legs)

4. All the Argonian NPC's in Oblivion are quite well characterised. From the Author Quill-Weave, to Usheeja the Guard for Umbacanno.

5. Disease resistance is pretty nifty.

6. And somehow, Argonian's makes pretty cool treasure hunters.

Yeah i like Argonians....why.?....well,. its a pretty interesting race.....you dont see that in other games, its a ES only. You can say that its pretty unique.Bethesda had some good ideas with it......And its to silly to be a racist towards a fantasy character.......

@Spiney: Good said man .

I say I like them.... Due to the fact I've only ever played as them

They're good for stomping on with my big orc feet

but seiriously i find they are just sub par. For blade oriented assasins they're all right, but i prefer khajiit or bosmer for that role.

I like their design.
I like their culture.
I like their province.
I like many Argonian NPCs in Oblivion.
I like how they can breathe underwater.
Yeah, I pretty much like everything about them.

I do like them as a race, they certainly add some extra colour to the world with their quirky-ness.

But I never played them. Reason is, in Oblivion at least, I always saw them as a tribal culture with their own unique weaponry, armor and other items...stuff that was not available in the vanilla game (I'm on a PS3, so no mods for me.) So to me they just didn't look right in the game when you ran into one in a town or in the wilderness.
