Is it just me, or...

Are there like, almost no Argonians around Skyrim? Same with Khajiit. And Male Orcs and Redguards. I know it's supposed to the Land of the Nords, but, Cyrodiil was the Home of the Imperials, and they had plenty of each of the races. Then again, I guess it is really cold in Skyrim..

Cyrodiil is also the youngest of all of em. It was built up fairly recently by a mix of races. I also believe Redguards, Khajit, and Argonians are from places with COMPLETELY different climates when compared to skyrim. But yeah, Cyrodil was a melting pot, and the capital of the empire. A lot more reasons to go there then to say, go to skyrim. I don't think the civil war is very inviting either.

If the Kajhiit can live in Skyrim then so can the Argonians. I've only seen one iirc.

Yeah hardly any of the beast races or redguards.
Kinda weirds me out also that the argonians don't sound right. (Too humany)
I LOVE that khajit outside of Whiterun though. The one sitting down always.
I swear he is on some crazy moon-sugar and skooma :x
So laid back..so calm and hippy-ish.

Oh, I have slain quite a few Argonians in my travels. Quite a few have been magic users, which I find odd.

In the western parts of Skyrim you'll find lots more orcs and Bretons too. That's also the borders near Orsinium and High Rock so it makes sense. Just like how Dunmer are more common in eastern Skyrim.

^^ Now that you mention, I see a fair amount of Argonians in Riften, which makes sense, I guess, since it's kind of around where Black Marsh is, right?

I like his friend. The one with the massive sword on his back. And their lady friend kind of looks like one of my cats. xD I always sell jewels, etc, to them. They do travel around ,though. I once couldn't find them and then I found them outside a farm near Windhelm. They helped me kill a Dragon.

Not anywhere near black marsh but is probably the warmest area in Skyrim so would make sense for that reason

I'm disappointed by the lack of beast race numbers, but it makes sense I suppose. Still there should be more Dunmer, what with all the red mountain issues and all......

Yea i like them too, they're incredibly sociable so as to say. Unlike those snobbish altmer scum who think they're too cool for everyone else.

Sorry, what I meant to say was that it's the closest city to Black Marsh. Also, I actually see a lot of Dunmer, especially around Windhelm.

Have you been to Windhelm yet? There's seriously about as many Dunmer as Nords (I wouldn't be surprised if even a little more) in Windhelm. A whole section of the city is Dunmer housing.

nords are culturally brute/uncivilized, in fact part of the theme of the game is centered around this issue (empire civilized vs nord culture uncivilized), there is alot of prejudice towards races, all of them, but especially elves and also mages.
