creeposaurus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Huge reason I haven't played a female Argo yet...their breasts make their body look odd. They're supposed to be slender and lizard-like. More lizard than human I mean. But I guess the mounds are just there so you can distinguish one sex from the other. They shouldn't be completely eliminated though, just reduced in size. Like A cuppish or something lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSilverKnight Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If Argonians were true reptiles they simply couldn't live in Skyrim. Most reptiles can't live long in temperature lower than 50 degrees F because they are cold blooded. If forced in cold conditions long enough they will burmate and slow all body functions down until a constant temprature of 65-110 F. That being said. It is a fantasy setting and they designed them that way for a reason. Seeing as there is a marry-able argonian in skyrim it wouldn't be outlandish to assume that interbreeding is possible.

creeposaurus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It said somewhere that they're sequential hermaphrodites too. Maybe marrying one wouldn't be such a good idea. Oh Elder Scroll science XD Still, I think if you changed the body mesh for an Argonian female, wouldn't it effect the Khajiit female as well?

xleileix Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) We should just turn this into an "add boob sliders to Oblivion" thread. 0 could be a completely flat chest. Problem solved. Those things get in the way of fighting anyway. Also it amuses me that so many people are concerned about lizard-people anatomy. They're lizard people. Hybrids of lizards and people, not just walking lizards. Obviously you're entitled to mod them to look however you want but like someone mentioned, Bethesda would lose all their furries (scalies? reptilies?) if they took out the boobies from canon. There's even a book in the game called The Lusty Argonian Maid.... ...and Creeposaurus, to some people that would be considered a perk, not a demotivation!

creeposaurus Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 There's an idea xleileix! Who could forget a name like Lifts-Her-Tail, lmfao. And yes but what about the poor men who are unaware of that aspect of Argonians "Hey wait, aren't Argonians only suppose to have one tail?"

And maybe Bethesda actually does consider furries to be a target demographic (that'd be pretty messed up, though). Still, other than making the lizard-people less sexy o_O to a few people (who wouldn't download the mod anyways), I don't see how replacing breasts with different colouration, body size/proportions, and more biologically-appriopriate traits would be a bad thing.

Oh I wasn't speaking out against you, I was just saying I found it a funny concern. Then again, I have OCD about how my character must look, so I understand where you're coming from. Maybe if someone made this mod I would even try it out, after all I don't plan on marrying any Lusty Argonian Maids anytime soon. Also, someone at Bethesda had to come up with this stuff. They don't just target furries...spoilers- you know some of them ARE furries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phayze81 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Which all of a sudden, would turn off the furries. This motivates me for obvious reasons. You leave the furries out of this. We They have enough trouble as it is. :P I agree with OP - I'd much prefer boobless argonians, all issues of lore aside. I suppose that would create problems for armor and clothing meshes though. There is a mod for desexualized female armor - maybe that could be a good starting place for argonian-only versions. As far multi-boobed khajit go, I think there are already texture mods that add some extra nipples for those who want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perfection Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm not entirely sure about this but I think the reason that argonian females have breasts in this game is because back in oblivion the game designers got lazy and instead of trying to make separate body meshes for all the races they just made one body mesh and ran with it so that they wouldn't have to make three or four versions of the same armor to suite each body, THATS why you went from breastless argonians and khajiit with bent legs in morrowind to argonians with mammaries or breast implants in oblivion, and khajiit and argonians with straight legs as well. I honestly think this is a good idea, it's just that I don't think it will be a easily done thing like some people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semtex Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Argonians may not be the only cold-blooded reptiles, as we know on Earth today. Argonians are primarily (or mostly) water creatures, so can live that, they are adapted to water temperature, and that save a lot of energy. In a cold environment, they are "warm-blooded", in sense that produce heat and maintain body temperature some grades above the freezing point. From our viewpoint, they are cold, but physiologically they are warm-blooded, just have a much lower temperature of the body as human races. Argonian women have no breasts.But argonian women living in human society used pads in garments, to adapt to human society and its social and societal norms. So, "naked" argonian woman does not have breasts, but in the clothes always looks like he has breasts. Similarly khajiit women have (may have) a few pairs of breasts, but only one pair is usually in the 'human' size. Others are smaller in size and flat, especially if khajiit women did not have a few children at once. Therefore, multiple breasts are visible only when khajiit woman is naked. In garment they have usualy visible only one pair of breasts. Explanation is simple, logical, AND saves a lot of work for plugins Creators :tongue: Edited January 18, 2012 by Semtex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
