My interpretation of what Haskill meant is that Daedra couldn't pass through that portal as they could the Mythic Dawn's Oblivion gates (which is why you don't find hungers, golden saints, or anyone like that near the portal). This allowed for a loophole that let Sheogorath open a portal for mortals to come through.

Hopefully no Churls and Katiffs or anything like that. The dremora always struck me as the "Knights of Evil." They should be clad in Daedric armor and be carrying ebony daedric weapons, these are the products of a caste system based on torture and slaughter, I doubt they'd send the pansies to the world of the aedra.

You mean, Daedra can't pass through the gates but other forms can? That could be true, I never thought of it that way.

God i hope they make Daedric armor rare again. I read a book in Oblivion stating how all the armors were made. The book said that Daedric was to be forged under a blood moon and whole bunch of other things. SO if it is so hard to make then why does every Joe Shmo bandit have a full set??

That's essentially what I meant with the "friendly" or "unfriendly" portals. Portals can be opened and Daedra can be brought to Mundus so long as they are summoned by mortals. Daedra cannot enter Mundus uninvited though.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Liminal_Bridges goes into more detail about opening an Oblivion gate.

Of course, there are Daedra in every TES game always!

I hope that both the Dremora and Golden Saints (assuming they're in) have a more supernatural, "automaton" look about them as they had in Morrowind. Where they seemed more like guardians or enchanted spiritual manifestations, rather than another race of ugly fleshy Facegen people.


Individual mortals can still selectively summon the Daedra of their own accord, as they have always done. But the Oblivion gates were more like rifts in that Daedra could freely enter/exit them, and we saw some of the corrupting energies from Dagon's deadlands spreading at their focal points: the ground becoming charred, bloodgrass appearing, and the like. This cannot happen anymore, but there will always be Daedra here and there on Tamriel through the efforts of witches and wayward practicioners. Velorien also has a point in that the portals created by Boethiah and Sheogorath are more like invitations: challenging mortals to try and help the princes. No problems there.
