Why were most Argonians in Skyrim portrayed as sneaky, stealing, scamming, backstabbing pieces of shit?
>>
product of poverty due to systemic racism and socioeconomic disadvantage as a result of nordic hegemony in the province
>>
>>736124392
They are just like me
>>
If you really think about it, theres nothing interesting about Argonians. They live in a swampy shithole filled with disease, muck and grime. Their culture is devoted to a bunch of sapient trees and being cutthroats.
>>
>>736124392
Todd meant black people but he obviously couldn't come out and say it
>>
>>736124392
Because it's easier to blame the other.
>>
Argonians don't even have the same concept of time or self as everyone else. They are basically aliens. They're still better than Dungmer, elves that could choose to be normal but have collectively decided to be contrarian Daedra worshiping assholes.
>>
>Argonians are niggers
>Khajiit are niggers
>Nords are niggers
>Dunmer are niggers
>Redgaurds are niggers
But who is the niggest?

but enough about the Irish
>>
>>736125060
You, the player
>>
>>736124392
Because they are?

Even Dumbmer don't want them and have warred against them for centuries compared to the racist snowniggers in the west.

You know you're scum when even the skooma cat dealers hate you.

Todd made Redguards and they're diverse as well as doing fine
>>
>>736124392
purely socioeconomic factors
>>
black marsh is the worst place in tamriel
it's an endless, desolate swamp that can only be inhabited by argonians
there's a reason why the cyrodiil side is fortified and have a sizeable garrison outside of valenwood and the imperial city itself
>>
>>736124649
no, they were designed to be that way by their tree owners.

I think the fact that it has one, continuous biome makes it completely uninteresting. Like imagine if the entirety of Florida was just the Everglades, but theres no cool animals there just hyperdiseased mosquitos and talking lizard people. Oh and giant trees in the middle who can talk. Nobody would want to go there or entertain the idea it exists.
>>
>>736127393
Retard post. Every single Elder Scrolls province has "one continuous biome" until a game is set there, because as it turns out Bethesda doesn't feel the need to stay true to Arena.
And that's not even true actually, in Morrowind northwestern Black Marsh was already described as dry and sparsely populated compared to the rest of it, so it clearly has a diversity in terrain.
>>
>>736125632
They are more like Arabs
>>
>>736127687
Post-Daggerfall Redguards are explicitly stated by some of the developers to be meant to represent black people, including african-americans and caribbeans. they didn't even have middle eastern-inspired names until skyrim
>>
>>736127575
Yeah theres not alot of consistency with some TES locations or even the lore in general. But there is with Black Marsh which is why it remain colonized throughout the years.
>>
>>736124392
Theyre meant to represent third worlders.
Jeets.
Muslims.
The UK.
Germany.
>>
>>736124392
They really aren’t aside from jaree-ra and deeja in Solitude. The dock workers in Windhelm are honest people and there to make the player think twice about siding with the Stormcloaks. The inn owners in Riften are also just victims. I guess you could make a case for the guy in the Dark Brotherhood but he was always a bro to the player.
>>
>>736124392
To show they're an oppressed minority without being le rayciss

And jealous

I just can't get my dick up to an Argonian female. They all sound like the woman from that throat cancer awareness commercial.

This
Why would you have anything but contempt for a society that hates you
>>
>>736124392
More important question, why were male argonians given normal human sounding voices while females were left with their chain smoking Oblivion styled voices?
>>
>>736128446
Male args knew their best bet in Skyrim is playing catch so the Hist adapted
>>
>>736127214
umm actually I've been there in Oblivion and they don't
>>
>>736124392
Whiterun was named after white people running or something. Thats a better name than hangalltheniggers of Skyrim, where we hang out with all my niggers of Skyrim and go adventuring.
>>
>>736127214
>Black Marsh is basically an ethnostate
Shouldn’t /v/ find that based?
>>
>>736129047
Uhh well you see my ethnostate that racially discriminates other people is based, your ethnostate that racially discriminates my people isn't based. Hope that helps!
>>
I hope they never make a Black Marsh game, they'll turn argonians into nelfs from WoW and have the hist give out free tranny surgery
>>
>>736128407
Then live somewhere else?

>>
>>736129047
its not an "ethnostate", other races physically can't live there, its like saying Mars is an ethnostate.
>>
I'd rather live in the Black Marsh than Markarth
>>
>>736129329
>an ethnostate created by nature itself
So again, /v/ should find it based
>>
>>736129047
The air and environment in Black Marsh would kill the other Tamrielic races.
>>
>>736129192
They'll never make a TES based from Elsweyr and Black Marsh

Bethesda would rather do Atmora, Yokuda or even Akavir
>>
>>736127393
>just hyperdiseased mosquitos and talking lizard people
IDK anon sounds like Florida already to me.
>>
>>736129379
>endless swamp filled with giant spiders, ticks and other nightmarish abominations
>town filled with n*rds and f*rspoken
yeah, not a tough choice, bring on the giant spiders
>>
>>736129647
Elsweyr is a possibility but its not happening anytime soon. The advantages is that place at least has deserts and rainforests, is small and is mostly full of khajiits rather than other races. The downsides is they'll make it generic, they won't show all the different khajiit types and would certainly sanitize or make the lore even more convoluted.
>>
>>736129647
At the rate things are going, Hammerfell in 6 will likely be the last mainline ES game.
>>
>>736129329
They can live there. Almost every single major city in Black Marsh was founded by the other races and the place used to be crawling with indigenous non-argonians like the kothringi and the barsabebic ayleids.
How exactly /v/ manage to turn "colonizing black marsh is a difficult ordeal because of dangerous fauna and our buildings sinking into the mud" into "black marsh le has a magic poison gas that like immediately kills every single non-argonian that steps foot into it!!!!" is beyond me.
>>
>>736124392
Are they? There's like two in one quest and the rest of them do nothing
The one in the oblivion thieves guild quest is a bro too
>>
They abandoned Hammerfell because even Bethesda knows that no one wants to play as a Redguard nor be surrounded by Redguards
TESVI is a Skyrim prequel featuring those three Nord heroes who originally fought Alduin and you'll be their main sidekick hunting down the Elder Scroll and only omnipresent in the final battle supporting them
