While it is true that disease is very much a threat, it is a bit generalizing to say that most everyone but Argonians would die so quickly. The Argonian Account demonstrates that even humans & elves had made it into Black Marsh. Notably, there also were other races in the province including Kothringi men. These races are only said to have died out by the Khanaten Flu, alongside many killing many other citizens of Tamriel outside of Argonia.

One could think of it like one thinks of Skyrim  ( at least with mods ), where you could die if you stay out in the cold too long. One can see that various creatures have frozen to death, & yet we still can see the other races, including a few Argonians, whom are likely least adapted to cold.

I imagine a game based in Black Marsh could have a disease mechanic for non-Argonians to add this realism. It should still be playable enough though, & would be refreshing contrast to Skyrim.

( noting mods : one made everyone an Argonian, so some people do not mind the majority being beastfolk )
