I feel like Argonian's are undervalued in cut scenes and as a whole.

Looking at most of the Elder Scrolls Online cut scenes and the cinematic's from past games we see a lack of Argonian's and when we do, we see them doing menial tasks. For example in the Three Fates Cinematic Trailer they aren't doing anything but pulling a cart like slaves:

Not to mention the Argonian's never really get a "hero" to fight with the other heroes in any of the ESO cinematics. We have the elf girl with awesome magic, the Nord warrior, and that nightblade daggerfall guy. Why don't the Argonian's have a more pivotal role and some actual dialog apart from yelling battle cries before charging into the enemy at the front like cannon fodder for the Ebonheart Pact. That or being cart slaves.

    Apparently, people like dirty, disgusting elves more than hilarious lizard people with mammalian features.

    They talk all funky and often seem absolutely confused by the mannerisms and social norms of other races.

    I mean yeah. Until the pact was formed they were slaves. Why would the dark elves teach slaves combat magics or weapons training? The best they are for is pulling the siege equipment.

    Where are the bosmer?! (Aside from getting killed) Where are the Orsimer?

    Have we even seen an Orc in the cinematics or did I miss it?

    I mean, not being seen is better than being depicted as cart slaves and being front line cannon fodder.

    Cart slave in the back or cannon fodder in front. Make up your mind. You are as fickle as those cat people.

    You can’t really blame us. We rescued all their precious baby eggs and they didn’t even build me a statue.

    I mean, look at Argonian racials, they are basically bred to be front-line cannon-fodder. Besides, my Argonian Serves-Master-Well is only good as a meatshield since he has no other skills in crafting, stealing, learning, or anything other than being able to take a beating.

    Zos will nerf it. Just like Argonians were nerfed in Cyrodiil because their swimming passive was to good...

    Interesting, I just got to really appreciate Argonians since I started playing this game, even though I know the elder scrolls franchise since Morrowind.

    I wanted to create a character that resembles one I played in another game and it was most fitting with this race. And yes, they are the most funny in terms of voice for example, also quite in terms of their culture/way of living.

    Yeah that's a little messed up now that I think about it. How come Argonian's can't use their racial passive in Cyrodiil? Is it some kind of meme?
