Our Argonian's Connection to the Hist and More Playable Argonian Subraces

Hollyniss · February 12

Really wish there was a quest or gameplay mechanic that introduced and included our Argonian's connection to the Hist. It'd be really cool, especially during the Shadowfen and Murkmire questlines. There was a quest where you helped an Argonian, who was born in Morrowind away from the Hist, establish a connection with the Hist. So, it'd be really neat if we were able to do that for our Argonians. Argonians have some of the coolest lore (in my opinion), yet you don't really get to experience it as an Argonian character yourself. You're treated like any other race (even in Shadowfin and Murkmire).

It'd also be neat if there were more playable Argonian subraces (same with more playable Khajiit subraces).

I suspect they leave that stuff out in order to let the player decide for themselves where their individual character is from and how they got to where they are without having to write in all the options they could think of for it.

Still, it'd be nice to have as an option. I'd love to interact with the Hist or be able to join a Tribe in Murkmire. I'd be happy though if the other Argonians at least RECOGNIZE you as such and treat you differently than the other races. It kind of takes you out of it when they treat you like any other race. That's the problem with ALL of the races though honestly. If you play as an Orc, you have Orcs (both city and stronghold Orcs) treat you like a separate race and even have to explain Orcish cultures or ways to your Orc character (as though you're not Orc yourself). Khajiit have the moon phases (how it affects their form) explained to them, ect. I wish they acknowledged the player character's race and reacted or acted accordingly like in the other games...it'd definitely help with the immersion. It'd go a LONG way for sure.

This is definitely a problem with the base game, but from what I remember playing Murkmire, my Argonian's race absolutely was acknowledged quite a lot throughout the story. I remember being able to ask something along the lines of "how can I find my Hist tree" or "can I reconnect with my Hist" when it came up
