What reason would they have to want to go on a big adventure? Just stay in your swamp.

To be a Nord wife(male)

Breathe underwater (comes up a few times)
Immune to poison (or at least they were)
BOA TARDE

thjey're cool

>there are so few argonians of note in the lore that their deckbuilding slop game had to quietly retcon human legends as being argonian instead
literally we wuz kangs

Lizards are cool
Will of the Hist
Lack of Hist
Poison resistance
Breathing underwater
Spears in Morrowind

if you don't play as a dark elf in morrowind, imperial in oblivion, breton in daggerfall etc, you are bad at video games
choose nord like trve gaymer

When I was a kid I loved lizards. I owned two leopard geckos and was obsessed with them. The one day my aunt’s like “did you know there’s a game where you can play as a lizard person?” And that’s how I got into oblivion

Based on what?

You seem to be under the impression that lizards are more than just flesh robots and actually have a will of their own.

>>724153781
based on a based story

It was quite useful to have water breathing and poison resistance in Daggerfall and Morrowind but not so much after Bethesda kept causalizing the series.

they're cool lizard people and some people also want to put their dick in them

>khajiits are smugglers and thieves

>meanwhile nords were able to defeat a whole race of elves by themselves
Todd's racism bleeds into the game like the symbiote

Beast races that look like a human wearing a costume should all die.

>>724153140
>>there are so few argonians of note in the lore
They're highly collectivist so it actually makes perfect sense.

>>724153140
They did this with the Altmer as well, for example Manimarco was supposed to be a Breton.

>>724152781 (OP)
being a human I always choose the race that least resembles humans in games and rpg

Argonians in Skyrim look too realistic and le serious
I loved how stupid they looked in Oblivion

Just dropping by to say Deetsan is the best Argonian

>>724155364
I could've sworn Poland is more into Dunmer. If only because Morrowind is the only TES game Polish people like.

>>724154676
Like, I'm already human in real life, so why would I want to be the same in fantasy where I could be anything else.

Playing an Argonian in Morrowind is based just for the lore implications of all the dunmer freaking out that their god hero reincarnated into one.
Playing one in Skyrim makes no sense.

Fulfilling fantasies

>>724153228
It tends to suck because you'll often still be treat as an outlander. In Morrowind, you'd still get called n'wah, right?

>What reason would they have to want to go on a big adventure
I find it strange how fantasy races are almost never built with this aspect in mind. Really, how likely are these savage tribal people to just fuck off and leave their communities? For what reason would they do this? Would they be killed if they come back?

>>724155364

If Britain was Imperial instead of Dunmer this would be really funny to me.

>>724152781 (OP)
I like Argonians but I usually play mage and in the old games at least you have to play a girl to get magic bonuses as them, and besides the Altmer boost to magic is just way too strong to pass up

>>724152781 (OP)
my first ever character was a argonian. I gave him black skin and red eyes. My little kiddo brain thought this was the coolest shit ever because i was like totally playing as a badass scary demon guy from hell . I didnt gave a fuck about the lore because i literally had no idea about any lore

>>724155851
>Playing one in Skyrim makes no sense.
The only true dragonborn actually

>>724156687
Your little kiddo brain was right.

>>724156317
>>724156556
the point is that you're an imperialized dunmer orphan who was raised by non-dunmer and plucked directly from the imperial city. even if you play as a dunmer you have never actually lived in morrowind or experienced true dunmer culture. in the game you have the opportunity to learn about these things and reconnect your character back to his roots in a way.

I do the same but I know the whole lore I just don't care I vvill be lizard in the snow and I vvill like it

>>724153228
My go to on a first playthrough was to play the "Native Race" of the last game. So in Morrowind I played a Breton, In Oblivion I played a Dunmer, and then in Skyrim I played an Imperial, and then whatever the next game is I'll play a Nord.

>>724153228
Playing as an Imperial every game makes the most sense. They would travel everywhere

>>724156317
Its because you are not from Vvardenfell, they have their own regional thing going on there.

>>724153228
>Dark elf in Morrowind
Beast race or nothing in Morrowind in my opinion, any man race in Oblivion, and Nord or Imperial in Skyrim.

I like playing as redguard sword autist.

>>724156962
Me on the right

Say... why is it obligatory that every single province needs to have a noteworthy population of every single race? Why is Morrowind so diverse? What are those 2 Khajiit niggas doing on Solstheim? Who the hell are these people?

>>724152781 (OP)
dinosaurs are cool

>>724157854
>why are there a lot of non-dumner races in a province that's being subjugated by an immense empire and who also regularly enslaves beast races

Should I use any mods for my first playthrough of morrowind?

>>724155364
The whitest of whites, Argentina, Ireland and Japan, playing as the white man's race (Bretons). Literally every white man in Candara must also be playing Breton to stop it flipping Red.

>>724158187
only the one that delays the expansions

>>724158187
Probably an animation mod, everyone walks like they've shit their pants and the towns seem kind of dead because everyone just stands around like zombies. There's also the DLC which sends an assassin to rape your ass as soon as you sleep, so get that disabled.

>>724158568
it's not even that the assassin is hard to kill, it's that the armor he drops is far too good and it breaks the early game economy when you get it basically for free

>>724158187
No. Play the game as is, take note of the shit that pisses you off and mod as necessary.

>>724157854
>Morrowind has 2.6 times as many fucking characters as Skyrim
Mogged by a fucking polygon-hell vidya. Lmao.

"elves cant breed" posters BTFO

>>724157854
Seen any Elves?

>>724157854
At least in Morrowind most of the foreigners are in places that try to make sense like cities heavily influenced by Imperials like Balmora. In Vivec they are separated by cantons, and in cities like Sadrith Mora they are relegated to the Wolverine Hall and their own tavern right outside of it. Meanwhile "Skyrim belong to the nords" Ulfric has dark elves living two steps outside his place

>>724152781 (OP)
>Why would I play as this race
Maybe you just want to fish, and live off the land, and maybe dive for treasures. Anon, you go figure - it is a roleplaying game afterall.
>What reason would they have to want to go on a big adventure?
Same as anyone else.
>Just stay in your swamp

>>724156687
Are you me? I did the same thing, but in Oblivion. Chose the barbarian class too because the picture had a huge battleaxe and reminded me of the metalocalypse thunderhorse music video.

I like lizards and dragons so I love playing as an argonian

>>724158191
>The whitest of whites, Argentina, Ireland and Japan

>>724152781 (OP)
Yeah. Why would I want to play as the class that can breathe underwater, is poison resistant, and is better at stealth than the fucking cats?
