I just saw the introduction video, and I caught a peep of what the Argonians look like in TES:Online

http://images.uesp.net/d/d5/ON-prerelease-Argonian_Group.jpg

What the hell happened to them? One happened to the badass looking, reptilian, tree people I used to know?
They look like freakin Gremlins now. Tall scaly Gremlins..

I mean.. Wow. Man.. I just.. I can't even.. I'm at a loss for words. I just needed to say somthing after I saw it. I mean, man.
Should I just chill? Am I making too big a deal about this?

Spoiler

Oh my God. Freakin Gremlins.

Edit: I just realized that they have a double a chin.. I'm just.. I'm so tired..

They dragonbroke their snouts.

Anyway, we all hope that these are just alpha models that will be updated before release.
Wait until public beta, than complain the hell out of ZSO until they change them

Yes, the Argonians look quite horrid. I'd actually prefer the ones from Oblivion over those. I really hope they get a make-over before release.

The only reason I can fathom them making the Argonians look like that is so they don't have to make new helmet models.

I shudder to think what the Khajiit look like.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The Khajiiti faces in Skyrim were flat enough, I think.

And helmets can be made to strech according to the face. Blizzard did it, so can ZSO.

You're a Dunmer fan aren't you.


I hope they will change it. Argonian is the only race I play in the TES games, and I don't know if I have it in me to play.. Whatever that creature is.

Maaaaaaybe.

There are 3 explainations for ZOS to make their Argonian's look like they do in the intro.

1). Pre-Alpha graphic models

2). May not of wanted to stretch out the helmets to fit the Argonians

3). OR because most of the Argonian's still live in most the Black Marsh that may not be available at lunch, that the specific area that these Argonian's come from look more human. Argonian's can look anywhere from human like to more lizard like.

they look like lizards, enuff for me.

Yeah I know. Its still weird though. They're so damn wrinkly.

And that double chin man.. No excuse for that.


They look like deformed old men.

I can't tell if their have protruding snouts or not from that pic based on the straight ahead angle. Here is a pic of a Crocodile from the front: [img]http://images.colourbox.com/thumb_COLOURBOX2746534.jpg[/img]

And http://youtu.be/1_Fr6VF_1LA?t=4m15s is a shot of an Argonian silhouette that shows the snout.


One thing I think my Argonian egg-brothers and sisters can be excited about is the possible custom boots they are wearing that conforms with the Argonian foot!


edit: To clarify on the snout shot, 4:18 is the clearest picture. I linked a little ahead.

Then let's hope they'll be ready for dinner.
Now I see. With the Imperials being an NPC race, they needed one more human race and decided to mutilate the Argonians...
Not really much of a snout, is it?

Well I am just stating what their reasons may be. I am not saying "I like the look of them" I personally don't.

Did you see at 4:18?

Welcome to Arena era Argonians. I actually kind of like them this way in some ways. I can just imagine them as a different tribe/subspecies of the Saxheel.

I think thats actually not bad, its quite the snout actually. And their look doesn't bother me to much, I just hope they just make them look less bland ( Not all gray lol I loved making a red Argonian with huge horns and what not and making him look like a demon)

I seem to be the only ones who likes them, apart from their massive tails. I didnt really play many argonians in the last 3 tes games but these ones makes me consider rolling one. I think they look pretty neat- all games have portrayed them differently.

EDIT: ok I read some of the other posts now, I'm not alone

yup 1000 years earlier

The flat faced one probably did upset some Skyrim giant
