Doesn't the skeleton gem also change your sex?

theres one quest that refers to a humanoid skellie being an argonian. :0

I noticed it as well during all my leveling. It would be a nice touch if they could adjust this. Just add it to the list...

Just did a quest in Cold Harbor. Pretty lame when an Argonian shows up with a half a dozen human skeletons in tow and introduces them as her ancestors.

Yeah, that was really jarring.

Oh hell yes. If they couldn't be bothered making non-human skeletons, they should've avoided any scenes where you get to see non-human skeletons. Just alter the story so they're all human, problems solved. Because all those argonian and khajiit human skeles... -.- That's just sloppy.

I wonder how much actual effort it would take to remedy this. Only using human skeletons really shows a blatant disregard for the integrity of the story.

Seriously, why are all skeletons human/elven? Can we have some love for the beast races as well? Turning into a human skeleton as an Argonian just feels really weird.

I find the fact female Argonians have breasts weirder than the skeleton, seriously they don't produce milk, so why the Breasts?

I have to agree with you on this one @AlexDougherty. Even so, its fair to say I've had the same thought about argonian/khajiit skeletons. It doesn't ruin the game for me, many games have suspension of disbelief issues (as do movies), but I definitely don't think its as bad here as other places. I also recognize that the time it took to make proper cat skeletons and argonian skeletons may have just been more trouble than it was worth. Bear in mind that the animation-skeletons are not actual skeletons. All this being said, one does have to wonder how hard it would be for someone in the art department to slap a tail and trade skulls. This might solve a little, but frankly, it still wouldn't be right because Khajiit and Argonians both move a little differently as well.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'd rather see them make the Spellcrafting system, than worry about skeletons. I love the idea of them adding this throughout the game, but its not a make or break for me.

Obviously because Breasts are nice to look at... duh bro

Not on lizards or cats...

Have you been in the internet, mate? Because the internet begs to differ.

I suppose its possible that even though Argonians lay eggs, they still nurse the young that hatch from them.

The skeleton problem thought is a bit harder to justify, they really need to fix that quickly. That quest where the undead Argonian pirate tries to help you while appearing in the form of a human skeleton is a bit hard to overlook. Especially when the living female Argonian pirate in the room with you calls the skeleton an Argonian despite it clearly being human bones. I just thought the dude was a human pirate skeleton until the female spoke up, then I was erked.

An quest in Shadowfern involves Argonian eggs, interesting the eggs are just stored in a location like reptile eggs not brood like bird ones.

Hi all,
I see no real contradiction because since there are still the platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) also known as the duck-billed platypus a semiaquatic egg-laying mammal.
It would be quite possible that the Argonian are able to breast-feeding.

But the skeletons of Argonians and Kajjit should have differences, reptile/cat skulls and lion-/reptile-tails, that would be nice.

Both the Platypus and the Echidna (the other egg laying mammal) lack breasts in the convenventional sense, instead they have areas that sweat milk (no *** for young to suckle on).

Also there are no reptiles (outside of pre mammaline ancestors) that produce milk, there are several snake and lizards that feed their young and birds are known to regurgitate for their young. But no milk.

Not sure what differences people expect for Khajiit, cat based skeletons wouldn't be able to walk, and cat skulls are designed with the spine in a different place. If you modify these factors you get a result not that different from what we have already.

Argonian Skeletons could have reptilian joints, but since this means REALLY wide hips and shoulders, and make legs and arms look disjointed, I can live without them. (I once saw a documentary on Dinosaurs which focused on their legs, and reptiles have silimar locomotion, so wouldn't work).

As well as Argo and Khajiit remains I'd like to see the odd wolf or rabbit skeleton.

Also I really want Khajiit zombies. All the zombies are too human looking too.

Khajiit and Argonian zombies do exist. I think you don't see them much because there aren't zombie-related quests in Reaper's March or Shadowfen, but they do turn up at Dark Anchors.

I'm not entirely sure Argonians are reptiles. They are only loosely so. They have breasts, they breath underwater, and their mating system/creators involves hist sap and hist trees. They're not exactly reptiles, but something more alien I would say. If anything they are a mix of reptile and either fish or amphibian, with a little tree and bird (feathers) thrown in for good measure. They're a fantasy race so this isn't really a problem, though I do think breasts on a lizard does look a little oddball, it won't wreck my day.
