Argonians sound... meh.

The races all sound distinctive and all(cept elves), but then I start listening to an argonian talk. Not even an accent. Should a giant lizard sound so... human? The kajiit are fun to listen to on the other hand.

 

Sure, in Oblivion they just used the kajiit voice. It was better than nothing.

:) This is your personal expectation I'm afraid. I mean, look at it objectively- you think a creature that never lived at all should sound like less of a human, when a human has to create it's not-really-existent speech pathology in the first place- what's an Argonian REALLY sound like...do you see? Then of course, there's no problems with them being anthropomorphic, having hands, not being (apparently) endothermic, etc etc

 

To a lesser extent, people say that "Nords sound too much like THIS, they should sound like THAT"....well, I never really heard a Nord speak, so how do they know??

I actually really like the sound of the male argonian's voice. Don't know why, really. It's somewhat reptilian in that it's rough yet smooth at the same time. I do dislike that EVERY male argonian is the same actor, same for female argonians, male khajiit, female khajiit, and the seven other voice actors for human characters. I really thought Bethesda would have adressed this issue as it was just ridiculous in Oblivion. They could have pulled it off if they had put a little bit more thought into it, like the fact that both Ralof and his brother-in-law are the exact same actor. It's one of the first conversations you are witnessing in the game and the actor is basically having a conversation with himself. It really pulled me out of the situation.
