Actually, what 81 says is not false, humans are the only species that have permanently large b00bs (in comparison), whereas other mammalian females (simians and apes included) would have b00bs that developed only during child rearing and these b00bs will atrophy after the child is weaned as they are not used as display. The one in humans have both a functional purpose (lactation) and display purposes, which also explains why guys mostly (not all) like the larger ones. Actually, that is wrong. Breast implant doesn't count when comparing yourself to another animal.


 * Normal*  woman, aka those not having had breast surgery, tend to have smaller breast that will also grow in size during child rearing.

Of course, if the woman weight 400 lbs or have 30 lbs of silicon implants, she will have permanent huge breasts, but those are not normal breasts.

Still, I think it's cheap to see so many game use the lazy way to portrait a female character.

Maybe in the future, as more female get into get development, we'll see a lot more of male character of various species / race sport a HUGE groins to emphasis it's a male character.

Or maybe, the developers in charge of the kajit and argonian were furries. That would explain a lot.

WHAT? So basically, you're criticizing Bethesda for portraying women with BREASTS? HOW DARE THEY GIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS BOOBS! REAL WOMEN ARE PROPORTIONED EXACTLY LIKE MEN!

Oh, and I don't know where you come from, but in the United States (home of Bethesda) many women have breasts that are much larger than what we saw in Skyrim. The women in Skyrim were in NO way over-sexualized. The only area of legitimate complaint is the unrealistic "boob armor" which is a completely different topic than why argonians have breasts. So don't even start with the Tomb Raider crap.

As I said, it would be a horrendous undertaking for Bethesda to make models for three body types instead of just two, especially when you consider the extra steps necessary to get the character weights to work. Could it be done? Absolutely. Would it be a logical use of time considering how few argonian females there are in Skyrim? ''No way in hell. ''

As for the comment about furries, grow up. Argonians and khajiit are humanoid races. They are going to share enough similarities with humans for some people to find them attractive. This does not necessarily mean they are attracted to the bestial characteristics.

Moving on from the unavoidable attractions some fans will have, we have never seen another humanoid species before in real life. THERE IS NO REALISTIC APPROACH TO A FANTASTICAL RACE OF HUMAN-ANIMAL HYBRIDS. So what if a reptilian race has breasts? If you can't find a scientific explanation to satisfy you, make up some reason that has to do with the fact that they're decended from TREES. Or have you forgotten the relationship they have with the Hist, which has still not been fully explained.
