Lack of Khajiit and Argonians.

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 10:27 am

There is only 26 khajiit and 22 argonians. Probably only 20 of each living. There's around 360 nords, 86 imperials, 83 bretons, and a lot of elves. I know there not in their homeland but neither are the bretons. It wouldn't be that hard, you could just make some more and not have them be quest characters or anything. Maybe in a patch later on? That would be nice.

Their sparse numbers make them feel more foreign and exotic. This is not a bad thing.

I know, but it's too little. There should be one in every town. It's weird walking around whiterun and seeing nothing but nords. Like in oblivion there wasn't many either, but enough for you to remember they existed. But yes I don't want like 200 argonians. I was thinking maybe 30-40.

Skyrim is right next to the Breton homeland (and some Bretons consider it to be their homeland too). On the other hand, it's geographically as far away from Elsweyr and Black March as possible. And it's considered cold and inhospitable even by the rare Khajiit and Argonians that do live there. It makes a lot of sense that they'd be rare in Skyrim.

yea, even though i love the beast races, its good that they are rare, why would a khajiit travel 3 provinces just to be cold?

You have to remember that Skyrim is far more isolated than any previous games (aside from Daggerfall, where there weren't any beast races from memory). Vvardenfell was on the border of Black Marsh and had a thriving slave trade, so that made sense and Cyrodill was the capital province and trade hub.

I know that, I don't want there to be a lot. At least move them though. Or if not move them, just put them all in the same place. Or have one in each city.

It makes sense that they are rare tho. Blackmarsh and Elsweyr are on the other side of the continent and there really isn’t much reason for many of to want to travel all the way to Skyrim. Infact I would think most would want to avoid Skyrim.

I know there rare and I want them to be rare, I just think it's weird that some cities have no traces of the beast races in them. They could at least move one to whiterun. If I already said that, sorry.

Another thing to consider about the Khajiit is the fact that they normally aren't even allowed inside of the cities of Skyrim so it makes sense that there'd be almost none of them there... Argonians are way out of their element in the cold of Skyrim and most of the water in Skyrim is frozen so I don't see why there'd be more of them...

In the case of the Khajiit there wouldn't be any traces inside the cities as they aren't allowed inside of them (unless of course one happens to be the Dhovakiin as that seems to exempt you from all rules of your race)...

I'm a bit surprised the Argonians can even survive skyrim, they may be warm blooded (they would have to be to live in Skyrim) but their bodies are build for warm and humid climates. Khajiit fair a bit better but they no one whines about the cold like a Khajiit. It makes sense that they are the most Rare, and I kinda like it that way, it really makes me take notice when I see a Khajiit or Argonian.

Not a lot of Orcs, Redguard or Bosmer as well.

I like it. Although I do wish there was a little more interaction with the beast races - maybe a couple more Quests here and there.
But like previous posters stated, it's often due to the beast races (and any other races in some cases) Just don't regard Skyrim as a place to live. Although, the Khajiit seem to be there to earn some profit in Skyrim due to the war disrupting trade, and dragons scaring people off. Risky, but it gathers more coin for Ra'vhash's kin!

Other than Thalmor there aren't many Altmer either (named NPCs that is). It makes sense - Highrock and Cyrodiil are adjacent provinces inhabited by native races of Men. They should be more represented (especially given The Reach is a traditional Breton area). Imperials are everywhere thanks to being the dominant race of the Empire. Orcs aren't especially underrepresented given the number of Strongholds and Redguards are actually pretty prevalent. Overall I think the balance of races in Skyrim makes sense (and Khajiit and Argonians should be a rare sight). If the next ES is set in Black Marsh or Elsweyr I wouldn't expect to see a ton of Bretons or Nords running around.

The only ones not allowed inside the cities are the Smugglers and bandits...

Looking at the picture close-up makes me wish they'd kept the beast-feet instead of switching to more humanoid ones...

WHile I do wish there were some more Argonians around, it does make sense that they're scarce, both due to the climate and their current overall state of semi-isolation (remember, the Hist recalled them all when war broke out).

What's really missing are Bosmer. There's almost none of them.

That might have something to do with the Thalmor purges. A lot of the remaining Bosmer have been indoctrinated and probably wouldn't want to leave the Dominion realms.

Bosmer are a bit more of a dissapointment though, seeing as they are actually interesting now instead of plain darn annoying.

The cold "chills them to the bone" even with fur. They long for warm sands under their feet.
