New Skin ''Scales of Akatosh'' On Argonians!?

Jord_Joe

Why didn't they put argonian to view the new ''Scales of Akatosh'' skin, just khajiit and a redguard on empresario? I really wanted to see what the new skin look like on an Argonian, and I'm surprised they didn't put one there for a preview, argonian is such a distinct race bodily like khajiits... ... If anyone has a print of what it looks like in the Argonians, show it pleeeease!?

Yeah I thought this was a pretty poor oversight as well, especially since the skin would, IMO, fit best on an argonian

It was like this with the Deadlands skin as well. It's just a sample. They don't want to take up space adding every race and body type to the area.

If they swap it next time and have Argonian and Redguard, people will complain abut there being no Khajiit.

In answer to the question, however, I don't think anyone will be able to get you a picture of what it looks like because it's not available yet (only the first fragment is available). ESO Hub only has what can already been seen in-game. The PTS has also not been updated to include the skin in The Costumer's Wardrobe (might be an idea to include this at some point just so people can see it).

In additon to the two races shown at the Impresario, there's also the image in the news article. Which, honestly, doesn't show you anything more since those body types are fairly standard. Maybe Argonian could be shown in one of those in the future.

I don't think people wants every race and body type but it's true that having at least the 3 major skins types (furry, scaly and "soft" ) could be nice. Especially in that case to see how golden scales on normal scales can render.

I'd like to see them make the models different for each zone so they reflect the home races there. Then you could just visit a different area to see how it looked across races.

In my opinion they never topped the look of the Dead Water Scale skin when it comes to scales. A shame that one is only in gamble crates.

See the lady wearing the skin in the picture is just redundant since we already see it on a lady in-game.
I could at least understand the Orc, but the lady should've been Argonian because then they'd literally have all their bases covered enough. Man, a Mer, and the two different Beast races.

I can't imagine it will look that good, because as usual the skin is one of those "splodges of skin" here and there. A bit on the legs, on the arms, on the chest, on the sides, some spot on the back, and on the jaw. Maaaybe some on the tails for argonians and khajiit. With these looks they should either go fully covering, or almost fully covering like Enveloping Scales. Or just more than these weird spots.

This. One humanoid and one of each of the beast type is good enough, don't need all the races. One humanoid and One beast is not sufficient because Khajiit and Argonian are far more different looking from each other than say High Elf and Imperial.

Yep. I don't like the skin, won't be getting it, don't play argonians, but it's really only fair that those who play argonians get to see it beforehand. @ZOS_Kevin - any way one of you can show these folks a pic of the skin on an argonian?

I dunno, how difficult would it be if one of the NPC would appear as your character race and gender on approach. You wouldn't have a line of all the races, just one general and one that looks like you.

SammyKhajit

Wish they did the scales fully covering your entire body and face. The gold “chin patch” looks like a misadventure with gold foils.

That would be a great feature.

I agree, it is a shame that we can not have a "preview" of this skin on an Argonian character. It is kinda weird. Especially if you consider that this skin (Maormer Fish):
https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/maormer-fish/

^ actually looks best on an Argonian (lol, who would have guessed ? ). Also, what is interesting about it, is unlike other skins, Maormer Fish does not "replace" your scales / fur pattern. It is just another layer on top of your existing skin. This also means that you can use Maormer Fish & a Tattoo and they will be both viable at the same time.

I hope that Scales of Akatosh will work in the same way, otherwise it is a complete waste.

I bet it would be epic too

Danikat

I was disappointed you can't see it on an argonian too. I don't think it needs to be shown on all the races because men and mer are all pretty much the same, but argonian and khajiit are quite different and seeing it on one doesn't show how it'd look on the other.

The ideal of course would be to preview it on your character, maybe they could add a preview option to the fragments. But if that's not an option then at least a human, argonian and khajiit model would help.

PeacefulAnarchy

From PTS, you can get all the pieces now if you want to check out your own argonian.

Thank you for sharing, wanted to see this!

Thank you for sharing, @PeacefulAnarchy

I do wonder why it wasn’t designed with the scales all over rather than in patches. Covered in shining golden scales wouldn’t be something that I would use on most characters but could look cool on an Argonian. As it is is just weird IMHO. Hopefully I like upcoming morphs better.

They almost always make skins and body markings like this. Which is one big reason I dislike them. They have this pattern where they put stuff in symmetric spots and call it job done.

Fischblut

Thanks for showing it on argonian character! This skin would look cool if it was covering the whole body

One of next morphs this year might be Aurielic Quasigriff mount. I hoped for some other creature this time (similar to the ornaug from High Isle Collector's Edition, or even whole new creature)... If every morph follows previous year's pattern, there should also be a personality and a house, and I wonder about a personality the most

Thanks for showing this. I was not interested at all in the skin, but now I can see it would look alright on my Argonians.
