How come Argonians.... : V

...don't swim with their tail?
Or at least, can't use it to "sprint" underwater? like a crocodile.

I know! I've often thought that my Argonian should be able to swim underwater much faster than any other character. Even in the 2 Elder Scrolls books, "Infernal City" and "Lord of Souls", Mere-Glim is able to swim faster and fight underwater. And he is deadly at it.

Bethesda just isn't there yet but I can bet they will in the future. That's why games made in the beast lands would require more resources. Khajiit could have spectacular athletic abilities too like using trees to jump.

That's going to be awesome someday...The Elder Scrolls VI: Elsweyr, The Elder Scrolls VII: Black Marsh

And climb them!

yea it's disappointing and it's not only the swimming. Pretty much everything concerning the beast races is underdone. if you have two distinct beast races in the game, put more effort into them, they are a good selling proposition but people expect them to be interesting animals not humans wearing a silly suit.

They're improving the animations all right but in very small steps. The tails are still a big let down. The way they clip through objects/armor :confused:

My guess is only a game set in Black Marsh can make Argonians justice, atm their tails seem to be pain in the [censored], not an essential part. Both races should be reworked and made a different skeleton, different animations and armor.

Remember how Argonians walked in Morrowind? It seems like they've taken a step back in the animations

Because they are nords wearing a lizard suit :whisper:

The walking was appropriate for that kind of legs...I wish they give them beast legs again. At least to some of the sub-races.

Or do leg-sweep with their tail, that would be Golden-Axe-3-ish

That would be some great attention to detail that I'm sure Bethesda will never do.

Make custom animations for one race? I doubt they would ever do that.

Why do people like those animations? They were horrible, and awkward.

I wouldn't mind Argonians having digitigrade legs/feet again. Especially if they looked like this(without the huge claw)

But they should atleast get a better, and more fluid movement animation for it.

The Argonians, and Khajiit in Morrowind reminded me of Kangaroos. They should have been hopping rather than walking.
