I am an Argonian Vampire Templar Tank in Heavy Armor.


For some reason unknown to me, everything I am, got the full wrath of the gods in the past year...
At the advice of some priest I went to look for an ancient shrine to find redemption....

I am sitting now at this shrine, for a couple of weeks already, to please our gods with some sacrifices... but my prayers are still not heard... I do not get answers.... just sitting here and waiting for a token that my prayers are heard.


so... let me tell you my story... the sad story of my life....

how as a young Argonian lad, I wanted to save the world, as a Paladin, helping the poor and the weak, hunting down the evil forces of Molag Bal, be a good comrade in arms to my friends and serve my liege Lord.

It must be my fate... being born as Argonian, that I suffer from endless struggles with the ruling people and the gods, otherwise we would have had better Racials... not so our former Masters the Dark Elves, they were well blessed.

And again... as a Templar... The Templar community really got the wrath of the gods... and they did not learn anything from it... now they are complaining to their gods at every shrine instead of seeking redemption and bringing sacrifices ....
You know..... it happened before, long time ago, on that dreaded Friday the 13th. Many of us were killed, many of us fled away.... No longer were we the Savior on the battlefields in all the splendor of shining heavy armor. Gone are the days we were a tower of strenght, unkillable and healing all around us.
..... and yes justice was done to the High Priest and the King. The High Priest died a terrible death from a sickness, and the King, Philippe le Bel, who hunted us down, died at young age, his eldest two sons poisoned by his second wife, his two daughters fallen in disgrace because of adultery, and his bloodline died when his other sons died early. Many of my comrades felt good about this, but I feel only sad... so sad and empty.
As empty as our presence now on the battlefields.

And yes, I had an unfortunate accident... in the deepest dark of an unholy cave, I was bitten by a Vampire, as one of the bigger scars that stiffen my body...
Not that you need to be afraid anymore about being bitten by a Vampire..... There are hardly any Vampires left today.... all burned at the stake of DPS

And my armor is rusty..... but I am attached to it.... for me my old HA is still the best there is, nothing new can compare...

That is my story...


Yes.... you see it right.... I am not going to torment myself here anymore at this shrine....
I am packing....
and leave the gods and the big world to their own sorrows.....

Perhaps the world will change again...
But I am certain that in some small village there are young people I can learn to defend themselves against the local monsters
that are happy with a homeless Argonian Vampire Templar in rusty Armor
doing something good and useful again....
something I enjoy to do...

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    Your former masters were the Dark Elves (Dunmer).

    Just saying.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    If you wanna role play at least get the facts straight...

    Your former masters are Dunmer / Dark Elves not Altmer...

    I do pity you OP...

    Perhaps had you been born under the Shadowscale you could have been a NB and you could have been happy!

    Emp takes no skill though and that's what drives me crazy. I wish it were more than ap farming to get emp and being a semi no lifer to do so. Granted not everyone has to be a no lifer to stay at most ap farmed.

    Just go to a dead campaign, get first, roll the circle, claim emp. There needs to be a better system in place tbh.

    I really feel for Argonians.... The cost of skin moisturizer alone these days is torture. Then to top that off you get the worst racial passives of any class. The only thing that @ZOS thinks is a bigger joke than a Templar is an Argonian.

    Why in Molag's Daedric Hell would anyone need a swim speed buff in a game that HAS NO UNDERWATER CONTENT.....

    @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_RichLambert

    Isn't it time to stop the Argonian passives joke and implement something that would actually make people want to use that character?

    Not everyone does it that way. I know one Argonian Templar who is former emp on a very active campaign and was crowned during prime time not long after the campaign reset. It's just sad that farmers mean anyone who is former emperor doesn't have the admiration or awe that some of them deserve.

    Try getting them to do it without assigning any CP to their character

    Seriously. This is beyond ridiculous.

    And while they're at it, ZOS REALLY needs to take a look at the way racial passives are implemented overall in this game.

    Their mantra is "Play what you like". But if you do, you stand a VERY good chance of gimping yourself. I'm starting to think they seriously screwed up when they removed soft caps WITHOUT completely redesigning the way racial passives work in this game.

    Guys, race matters WAY too much in the current meta. Ya gotta fix it.

    For all you guys who hate on Argonian passives know Black Marsh could be filled with water area and then the Argonians would be the kings...

    Also racial passives have always mattered since April 2014 anyone who says they matter all of a sudden has been hiding under a rock.

    This is Elder Scrolls, racials have ALWAYS mattered!

    If you were a mage in Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim you played Altmer...
    If you were a rogue you played - woodelf, khajiit
    Warrior - Imperial, Orc, Nord

    ect.

    Argonian has always gotten the short end so what's new? At least they finally look good ( since Skyrim ) before then Argonians looked horrible
