    Argonians are my favorite race to play in any elder scrolls game. I cant wait to see Black Marsh in a proper elder scrolls game.

      Yeah, I'd really like to go somewhere more alien like. Oblivion and Skyrim are ok, but they're very typical, very normal. Argonia would probably fare just as good as Morrowind did, for the exact same reasons.
      My problem with Argonians(and Khajiit tbh) is that they simply don't fit the stories. Maybe Oblivion because you're just a chump helping Martin, but Morrowind(would be ironic, but I doubt it) or Skyrim(even less of a chance than Morrowind tbh)? Just no.

    Argonians have suffered at the hands of almost every other race at every time they were forced to interact with them.
    Yet they still survive. Invaders, slavers, demons, and even civil war. They fall, struggle, and lose. And their losses have drastic consequences and pains.
    And yet they survive. Argonia remains pure and unsullied by outsiders. The Hist grow unchallenged to continue their actions and plans. The Argonians endure and remember their pains as they wait for bloody retribution.
    To be Argonian doesn't mean glory. There's no grand continental history. No golden citadel with spiraling towers. It means survival, perseverance, unity, subterfuge, patience. And in time justice against all who would challenge the Hist, Argonia, and the Argonians.

    The bit about the Argonian interpretations of Anu and Padomay "becoming intertwined" checks out with my understanding of the Creation myth.
    I learned that Anu and Padomay aren't sentient beings that clash, but are rather transcendent cosmological forces, as abstract as the things they represent: Anu is order and stasis, Padomay is chaos and change. And the Aurbis is the intersection of those two concepts.

    • @anentiresleeveoforeos2087
      @anentiresleeveoforeos2087 4 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      Temple cities is a stretch. The temple complex in Tenochtitlan for example didn't actually take up that much of the city and covered a percentage of the city's land similar to what Notre Dame covered in Paris during the same time (assuming we're talking about roughly the 1400s). It was common in a lot of major cities at the time, not just Aztec, to have some sort of religious structure dominating the skyline. I'm not sure about agriculture, do the Argonians actually practice something similar to chinampas?
      Also I was mainly addressing the 'embrace nature' part. People seem to have a misconception about Native Americans that they were "one with nature" which is just wrong for plenty of reasons. Aztecs for example regularly burned forest to create new cropland, they hunted various animals to local extinction such as jaguars and, in the case of Lake Mexico, they had massive hydrology projects such as sectioning off the southern part to create a separate freshwater lake (raising salinity in the other part) and destroying most of the marshland by turning it into chinampas both of which devastated the lake's ecosystem.

    I understand many people try to say the Argonians are in the wrong for the retaliation but think of it another way. The Dunmer have no humanity for the Argonians, if it was Argonia that had suffered those kinds of calamities and suddenly they were able to take over Black Marsh, I have no doubt they'd do it immedietly.
    I think the Dunmer mindset makes it impossible for Argonians to offer peace. It would require a unifying force of Dunmer recognizing the Argonians as people to force some kind of peace treaty.

    Its really difficult to represent argonians properly. Like, they're all individuals, but only in the way that they're independent nodes in a multidimensional hivemind that predates the existence of nirn. If the hist is an ocean, each argonian is a raindrop, and all water flows back to the sea eventually.
    The hist is really crazy. Its a tree, but it also exists in its own realm that may or may not be in oblivion. Its like part way between god and deadra but also a tree.
    The hist knew about the oblivion crisis before it happened. When oblivion gates opened across tamriel and evryone was panicked, the hist was waiting with an army, and marched into oblivion and beat them so hard they ran away and decided not to invade Blackmarsh. Amphibians marched into hell, and hell got scared and ran away.
    Theres going to be a reckoning. The hist will reclaim. The other races have no idea what theyre dealing with every time they bully a lizard. The hist is patient, it knows it can wait.

    So with the knowledge i have of the Amazon and it having tribes of people that currently live there as hunter gatherers tribes. They and the Argonians share some interesting similarities. Such as there used to be a much more advanced shamanistic society that lived there prior. I think it would be worth a look since Bethesda is known for doing this in all across Elder Scrolls lore, taking stuff from existing or things that have existed in the real world. It is part of why their lore is so immersive.

    I'm hoping for an ES game where you have a skill tree that's much like the Dawnguard Vampire perk tree.
    You start out as a young Argonian with a few traits, and you're main goal throughout the storyline (whatever that story may be) you collect hist sap and ingest it. Giving you new abilities and physical changes to your body.
    Maybe the feathers some argonians have actually do something like a gliding mechanic. (Not good at first, but can be leveled up to be a proper gliding mechanic.)
    Maybe the large ear scales give you a type of early game "detect life" ability cause you can hear better. And later on you can get an infrared vision perk to actually see things behind walls and stuff.
    Maybe even give you the option to change your sex one time through your playthrough.
    I'd be down for a game like that.
    Edit: I've sat on it for a while, and I think these perks should basically turn you into an assasin much like (but not the same) as Assasin's Creed assasin's. More along the lines of being a true Shadowscale, and you're bringing back the glory of Sithis and the Night Mother who has lost all popularity and notoriety in Tameriel. This way we can bring back the "Hail Sithis!" Meme. Hopefully the devs could spin the Night Mother into a more kind light, as we don't want another "Death Note" situation going on irl.
