Where did you read that? Last I checked the Dunmer where still leaving it.

One of the books (i'm sure someone will provide it) stated that the Argonians beat the Deadra all the way back into oblivion...they even went inside still and the Deadra had to close the gates themselves.

After years of oppression of course they are going to take the best shot.

Yes the OP does not I was agreeing with you.

You realize this is the Elder Scrolls, right?

Are you serious?

I'm always an Argonian on TES games, and I disapprove of this thread.

Sources, or it didn't happen!

The in-game Dunmer said it.

i'm probably inviting a virtual flogging by even mentioning this, but i really think the argonians and the khajiit should be banished from the ES universe. they're absolutely ridiculous, even for a fantasy game. as much as i try to understand or at least appreciate their relevance, it becomes almost impossible to ignore just how out of place these two races seem within the tolkien-tamriel universe. perhaps this is more an issue with the lore than the narrative, but i almost think they'd be better suited within the context of a futuristic sci-fi. for some reason that feels more appropriate for a cat and a lizard, or maybe i've just seen one too many episodes of star trek.

maybe the idea was to bring in another race to layer the whole man/mer power struggle, but i'm not buying it. i'd imagine it's too late now, at least in terms of future ES games (though i'd certainly be willing to look the other way) but these overgrown lizards and cat-people are so dopey and cheesy they almost ruin what is otherwise an interesting balance on the struggle between mer and man.

Ohhh, misunderstanding then, my bad.

The in-game Dunmer said it.

Just out of curiosity, is Skyrim your first TES game?

I've never played as either of those two races as they do not interest me. Yet i would never accept them being removed from TES.

They are a big part of the lore and I've no doubt that we will be playing a future Elder Scrolls title that is set in either Black Marsh or Elsweyr at some point in the future.

Would you buy an Elder Scrolls game that is based in either Black Marsh or Elsweyr?

The in-game Dunmer said it.

found it!

"Yes, but that was ending when the Oblivion crisis happened. Look, even you have to admit that if Mehrunes Dagon had won, if Martin hadn’t beaten him—”

“Martin and the Empire didn’t beat him in Black Marsh,” Glim said, his voice rising. “The An-Xileel did. When the gates opened, Argonians poured into Oblivion with such fury and might, Dagon’s lieutenants had to close them.”

sorry, fixed the link

Morrowind is still a shattered land, and the places that aren't occupied by Argonian soldiers are covered with smoke from Vvardenfell blowing it's cap in a spectacular explosion that ravaged the Dunmer that hadn't been given a vision by Azura to leave.

Oddly enough, those that were given visions apparently didn't tell everybody else, because MANY Dunmer died.

..Okay? Argonians raided some Oblivion gates. The PC in Oblivion could take them down solo. Argonians did it in unison.

You win this time, Nord.

For now it is shattered.
The smoke will clear.
The land can be restored.
Azura does things her own way as all Princes do not sure what her motive was yet.
A few people could not inform an entire nation.

argonians were the only race that could take them down, every other race failed miserably trying to do so

1. Black Marshes terrain.

2. Still, the CoC could take down every Oblivion gate in Cyrodill down solo. And he isn't immortal or anything. After doing that countless times in Oblivion I don;t see that as anything special.
