Why does everyone like being an Argonian?

Personally, I like Argonians and Khajiits the most simply because they're the least human-like of all the races. For me, that's a plus! Besides, I love lizards and cats. :D

Besides breathing underwater, a lot of people like Reptiles so they prefer to be a Lizard Man or Woman.

I already look like a human in real life, so it's nice to have a change. :P If you're going to play a fantasy game, you might as well do it properly, lol... that's why I tend to play as the beastial races, or sometimes the elven races. Besides, lore-wise, Argonians are cool!

Because anthros are cool. I prefer elves and khajiit, though.

i prefer the argoninan race due in skyrim due to 3 factors, water breathing, hist skin, and how dragonic they look, well can look........also something about a female argonian's scales while wearing the forsworn set....anyways i just over all prefer them......if they had a wolf/dog based race i'm sure i would of picked it instead but i love dragons
