Confession time: I've never played an Argonian (or not least, beyond getting as far as Riverwood). I've certainly never played one to any decent level.
Yeah, I know I'm a bad, bad Site Owner. Tae-Rai and Emer can feel free to poke with embalming tools
Anyway, in honour of Argonian Week, I thought I would fire up Skyrim (first time in a while) and roll an Argonian. But which Character Build should I play?
Here is a custom search for Argonian tagged builds
Which build should I play? Tell me the reasons for your suggestion
P.S I am planning on making a special daily blog next week on my adventures as I get to grips with playing an Argonian.
This should really have been posted in Build Recommendations Paul What about Curse's Brute? No nonsense, straight up balls out aggression gameplay will make it easy to jump into with Destruction and Enchanting there to add some depth.
Edit: Looking forward to reading your adventure journal, no matter what build you decide on.
Actually, The Deep Diver may have more of an Argonian feel if you want to soak up their flavour.
The Saxheel Warbringer Allowing the choice of light or heavy armor, it is an interesting take on a Shellback, and quite a blast to play
Emer's Tsaesci build is great if you want to play a warrior. For stealth I recommend Noodles' Dreadscale, or if you're looking to play a mage Lozhar's Healer is great.
^ Yes this. For the love of all things holy Paul, stay away from the Shadowscales.
Argonian Shellbacks are where it's at.
Another vote for Deep Diver here.
But, if exploring underwater is not your thing, I highly suggest giving these builds a read/try
Salamander by Mason
Rasha, the Bog-lurker by asgard
Regenerator by Albino
Lotta good recommendations in here, but I think I'll throw in some more:
Sanctus' Battlechief
Albatross' Black Marsh Vanguard
If you don't mind a banned member's build, then Narm's Archein (just do a control+f search for "Archein" on the linked page)
Deathmetus' An-Xileel Warrior
Tae-Rai's Hist Wraith
Ben C's Hist Mage
All great Argonian builds with a real Argonian feel to them.
One of my funnest builds to date, got lots of bashing, smashing and crushing fun!
The An-Xileel
A collab between the biggest Argonian fans of the blog! Why would you say no to this ;) Lots of sneaking, lots of stabbing and lots of bewitching the citizens of Skyrim!
You could try the Ash-Scale. Most fun I had with this game
Web Archive to the rescue
Hello mate. For your Argonian build. Try Masons battlemage" The Salamander". From my own personal experience it is brilliant, a true revenge build for all the deathlords, wrights, and scourges that have pissed you off in the past. They just cannot take him down its a great feeling. However there is also the collaboration between Emer and No Snakes. The "Shadowscale" very risky but even for a player as experienced as you would provide the challange you are perhaps looking for. Good luck with whichever build you choose though. R
