    Basically Argonians crossbreeding with any mammalian species.

    Argonians with breasts.

    Mammals have breasts because they lactate to feed their young.
    Reptilians do not feed their young, for they are hatched from eggs. Ergo, no lactation, ergo no breasts.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    Except that some traits from natural selection are made because of appearance. Perhaps Argonian women developed breasts similar to other species simply because that's what the males were interested in when looking for a mate. So the breasts did not come from lactating but from cosmetic selection.

    I can see that. The thing about sexual selection is, it doesn't have to make sense, and non-humans can be every bit as silly about aesthetics as humans. Witness the peacock; the only reason for the long tail is because the peahens like it. But the peacock is hindered from escaping predation with that thing; the ladies might like it a little bit longer, but males with too-long trains don't get to live to breed.

    If Argonians had their native ideas of beauty twisted over centuries of being enslaved by mammals, then, sure, why not. Again, sexual selection doesn't have to make sense, it just has to not kill the individual before it can reach breeding age.

    Second lightsabers.

    As others have mentioned, letting us visit Paarthurnax a thousand years or so early wouldn't break anything. We already know he's up there, after all.

    There were Dwemer ghosts running around in Morrowind eight hundred years from now and it wouldn't be that much different from the undead Kothringi we already have.

    The Akaviri rode dragons, so flying mounts isn't really lore breaking so much as a bad idea from a gameplay perspective. (I'd rather have more variety in land-based mounts anyway—what is this with everyone riding horses and no Guar, battlecats etc?) Although riding Cliffracers would be awesome, and would explain their extreme numbers later in history.

    But what I really really want to see...is Wulfharth the Ash-King being revealed as a Goa'uld symbiote. Think about it! It explains how he keeps coming back as different people!

    Hmmm, all of the ideas seem silly to me.

    Dragons, despite a few living right now, are far to prideful and resentful to the mortal races. So no to dragon mounts. Always.

    In fact, flying mounts in general are not supported by lore (with the exception of dragons). But even if they were, I am against it for potential game disruption purposes.

    ALL of the Dwemer are gone (minus that one old one). They went poof. Even if Dragon Break logic was used to allow their existence as a potential player race, I would still call foul play. I wouldn't be able to wrap my head around the existence of the nearly all powerful tribunal if the Dwemer were not gone.

    So....all of them are silly?

    They already have Daedra that exist only in ESO, why not a special dragon? Dragon's existed during the 2nd era, an encounter/battle with one could be made possible, or even made into a super rare random event similar to summoners, saving travelers/merchants, dueling mages, etc.

    Levitation magic also existed in the lore, so if not flying mounts, there's that. It was banned in the Empire during the 3rd Era, so it was still around in the 2nd Era.

    If it was banned in the empire, why could i find all kinds of items in Morrowind that let me levitate?

    Dwemer, Dragons and Flying mounts are all silly and lore breaking, well there are a few acceptable flying mounts.

    But the silliest Lore-Breaking idea I can come up with is a half-Human/half-Argonian cross breed. Or a half-Elf/half-Argonian cross breed, or half-Khajiit/half-Argonian crossbreed.

    Basically Argonians crossbreeding with any mammalian species.

    Once you endow, as it were, female reptiles with mammalian... features, anything is possible.

    By the same token, Khajiiti females should have how many pair? 3, 4?
