The character to the left looks like an argonian... but it also doens't look like he has a tail... which is pretty lame, if you ask me.
EDIT: nvm, I guess it looks more like an orc... though I think the skin tone is off... Moderators, go ahead and delete this topic.

Looks like an orc.

...State Farm?

Ahhh quote had correct link...yeah...that's an orc.

Sorry about that, accidentally pasted the wrong link. It's fixed now.

You guys think that's an orc? The skin tone? The shape of the face?

....Actually nvm, I think I see it now.

Pretty much this artwork, the argonians have no tail.

In the first game they didn't either, I'm thinking evolution or something has taken place since the game is set 1000 years in the past if they don't have tails in the game. Lol

EDIT:

That is definitely an orc though.

Looks like an Orc to me

Haha.. Arena was such an awesome game. Blew my mind at the time.

That's an orc, you can easily tell.
Also the two others are a breton and a redguard the two races that are allied with the orcs.

Those don't really look like Argonians to me though. They're all standing around like typical enemies in an MMO would. Also because they remind me of a creature from LotRO

The tree is a Hist tree, of which the Argonians are strongly spiritually tied to. They have an Anrgonian-like shape with what appears to be Argonian-like feathered head-dresses. The only thing not Argonian-like is the missing tails.

What else would be guarding a Hist tree?

ONE piece of concept art. ONE and you're jumping to conclusions. This is worse than the Skyrim announcement. The argonians aren't even the centerpiece, the tree is.

At least Bethesda's Argonian artwork had a tail.

I think Todd Howard wouldn't let them do such a big mistake, the Argonians will have tails.

Todd Howard can make suggestions but he can't call the shots.

Tails are too hard to implement in an MMO.

Just like any semblance of the TES lore and uniqueness we know and love. This has been the Zenimax devs excuse for anything that people expect to see, but won't be implemented in this sham of a product.

Yes but they did say Todd Howard would check in to make sure they made no lore flops, I cant see this passing. It's like them making elves without pointy-ears

Draenie and Tauren from wow, as well as multiple everquest races and Charr from GW2 want to say hi

I'm being sarcastic, because that has been the dev's excuse for everything that people expect to see in this game that is not going to be implemented.

Do some googling and read the leaked info. I won't give you links.

Sad but true. Reading the article it was like every page said "sorry, we can't do series staple feature X because it doesn't fit into a preconceived notion of an MMO".

TES is special and awesome because it broke the standard RPG mold by combining player-oriented action with character-oriented role-playing. It created something unique you didn't see anywhere else. TESO could've been special for the same reasons, but instead of working to break the standard MMO mold, we get "MMOs aren't like that" excuses. If the TES developers used the "RPGs aren't like that" excuse, it would've just been another in a handful of generic fantasy RPGs, but instead they dared to be different and step up the game, challenging what an RPG is and how one works.

It's funny that the two worst titles in the TES franchise are a standard action hack'n'slash (Battlespire) and a standard action adventure (Redguard). It doesn't leave a good impression when TESO is going to be a standard MMO.
