Missed Opportunities :(

I for one am very disappointed we cant go around smashing the lizard eggs in the orange goo,

also sad that when we fined a village tree we cant burn it to trigger a group event to kill the lizards while they run around panicked trying to put it out.....

would have been more fun.....

oh well perhaps in a future update...

Monkey lizard, handing out WB quests is still better than Altmer on Summerset. Summerset, beautiful place if it weren't for all the Altmer.

Commiting (or attempting to commit) genocide against Argonians would go very, VERY poorly for several reasons. You'd never be able to infiltrate Black Marsh to ensure their complete genocide, leaving the survivors to grow into a frenzy and the potential backlash would be catastrophic (look at 4th era Morrowind). Even if you did attempt to despite this, it is highly unlikely that the Dunmer would look at this and let it go as, in their eyes, you are slaying their potential work force and slave market, cutting into their profits and productivity so now you have to fight both Argonian and Dunmer forces, meaning you're pretty much screwed.

Whoa

I love Argonians and make edgy jokes about them all the time, but idk about the infanticide jokes lmfao
That's a bit much for me, you're pretty much asking if we could burn an orphanage down in ESO.

Yeah, this went from typical TES racist commentary to something a little more gross. I think it says a lot about the OP.

Judging by his past posts though, I'm not all that surprised.

Usually I'd just make an Archein conquering the Marsh (They're an Argonian tribe of slavers) or Praise the Tribunal joke, but oof...

I agree with you, but the whole game is based on racism, it is expected that some players will be in the game as well.

Wherever I walk I see racism in the game, the darkelfs were blond and beautiful until they were cursed and now what color are they?

I see people in their mount and their servant following him on foot for what he needs to sell.

The whole game is racist.

I hate everyone equally, so I do not care, but I'm not blind.

I'd say you're overreaching, but I'm not going to debate real world bigotry on here. Get some help.

Some people will never understand it JJ.

Some people use the excuse that it is a video game for everything.

Me for example, I do not give importance to the insults i get from whispers because it is a video game, thats my excuse.

My wife used to play TERA i try to play it and i could not, the first thing i noticed when I finished the tutorial and arrived in the main city were female characters with a childish appearance dressed in lingerie, the excuse? the lore says they are 100 years old or older, and im the one who needs help, lol.

or maybe im just old fashion.

Discussion of real-world politics/racism typically gets threads locked.

Let's stay on topic. The jest towards Argonians simply wasn't funny, it could use work. Of course, humor is subjective, but I prefer subtlety in humor. There was no subtlety in this joke, hence why I hadn't thought it funny. lol

Maybe someone out there did, but it simply came off as edgy.

Careful with that edge, OP. You might get a papercut.

Eh, I'm not really into Argonians or the swamps at all.... but that wasn't even remotely funny.

Someone I know challenged me to make a "pretty Argonian". "Your girls are all so pretty; I KNOW you can do it!" Well, I did. I'm not sure I'll play her much (as I really just don't like them very well....) And the only swamp that suits me is Hjaalmarch....

But here she is:

...what will you be asking for next, I wonder...
[sarcasm]
...skinning Argonian and Khajiiti characters for clothier materials? And humans or elves for lampshades or parchment? Taking body parts as PvP trophies?
...killable children, torture and mutilation, and player cannibalism for NPCs and PCs, including numerous recipes featuring baby meat?
...an "adult content" mod with player character naughty bits and "Molag Bal approves" forced interaction options for PvP wins?
[/sarcasm]

You do realize that ZOS does not like lawsuits any more then the next gaming company, right?
And while I myself wish they would push the envelope a bit more sometime... I can see why they prefer not to go to some places...

Hey, we all know -exactly- who'd find that sort of joke funny!

...and that is -exactly- the issue with it!

So you want the WoW pre-expansion story line ?

A missed opportunity is that they didn’t let us ride in the giant nix-ox. I used to love the Zepplin rides in WoW, I thought for sure they were going to animate the nix-ox travel, even if my character is “stunned” for the duration. And maybe have a “press any key to skip” option.

Another missed opportunity is that they didn’t have standard color guar for sale in the Morrowind stables.

Another missed opportunity is that they could have implemented a daily for a group event of “deliver the payload” like a wave after wave of “highwaymen” and marauders trying to attack the Cyrodiil Collections Caravan.
