An Elder Scrolls Revolving Around ARGONIANS? : V

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:20 am

Think it will ever happen? Want it to happen? As fascinated by Argonians as I am? Discuss.

...no. My second least-favorite race next to the kitties, heh.

yes I am intrigued by this race and their lore and I hope we'll get a game in Black Marsh some day. Maybe even TES 6, after Cyrodiil and Skyrim a game in Black Marsh would be quite a turn.

I'd love it.

That's the proper section for talk of future games.

If Apple made a fantasy game it would have tons of Argonians in it

Yep, definitely. They are my favorite race and exploring their land should be quite the adventure. The treacherous waters, those magic trees... the tribal culture, everything should be high fantasy atmospheric like Morrowind or even better.

Never going to happen. They aren't human looking enough. There will be an Orc centered Elder Scrolls before Argonians or Khajit.

Hell to the no.

Funny thing is, I'd bet there'd be an Argonian centered Elder Scrolls before Redguards.

The Argonians have always been my least favorite race, but I think Black Marsh sounds like a pretty interesting place... so I guess it could be cool.

I'd love a game in Black Marsh. The Argonians are so mysterious so I'd welcome actually seeing some of their culture. Plus it would give me a reason to play an Argonian.

Nah, I am pretty convinced that all the human/elves will come first, simply by virtue of them being more relatable/marketable. The Argonians and Khajit are the most alien in appearance, ideals, society, etc. Much easier for Beth to do the others.

You'd be wrong:

Although it's technically not TES but TESA

Elder Scrolls: Black Marsh/Argonia it will happen one day and it will be epic.

Black Marsh is winning the next game location polls around here, sure thing the fans want it, but it's Todd Howard's decision, really. If he wants the series to be more and more clichee generic fantasy, no way it's going to be Black Marsh or Elsweyr. These lands require risks and a lot of originality that you nowadays expect to find in smaller studios.

This made me smile. Such hope : )

I know it will happen one day.

My most anticipated province, fingers crossed for TES VI.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 9:06 pm

I hope so, but I doubt it.

I don't know how the Argonia game could be marketed well. Sadly the beast races are still considered kids' stuff and being in the game only for furries. I hate how every game must revolve around apes to be believable/more authentic and somehow hardcoe.

» Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:07 pm

Maybe at some point, but definitely not their next project. There's just too much unknown about them that making a game about them and their homeland would require some serious thinking, unlike with Skyrim, they had quite a lot of stuff to start from.

Agreed, i doubt new fans who are not familiar with TES lore would enjoy a game filled with scary lizard men or lion/kitty looking monsters (i remember the first time i saw them in Morrowind).

What if they include parts of black marsh, southern part of morrowind and parts of cyrodyll? instead of 100% black marsh

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 2:32 am

I can't see it, personally.

Too niche.

Summerset Isle & Valenwood on the other hand..

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 1:38 am

I personally think that TES VI should be TES VI: Eye of Argonia. A deep pseudo-survival horror RPG game set in the mysterious, treacherous swamps of Black Marsh.

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 12:28 am

I don't think they will make a Black Marsh Elder Scrolls game. The other races don't like being in the place, so there won't be many NPCs besides Argonians, and Black Marsh is just a... marsh.* If it were to come out, then people and critics alike will complain about a lack of variety.

*Note: Skyrim is the first TES game I have played in detail, so take this post with a grain of salt. If it is accurate, then cool.
