I actually think about this all the time. Quests for every daedra shrine had still better be in! I actually think those were my favourite quests in all of Oblivion.

Mephala is my favourite Prince, hope she it has the most epic quest. :evil:

Ya it be nice to see something other than lava and towers. Bring us Hircine's realm, that'd be perfect for a Viking type feel

Nords don't strike me as the types to really give a damn about the Nine or religion in general. I feel like it'd be the Imperials trying to evangelize the local population, or maybe there'll be some clandestine pockets of Daedra worshippers in major cities or in the wilderness.

Daedric shrines are kind of a staple in TES. That's basically already confirmed in the game even without Bethesda saying it.

I would like to see Azura's Moonshadow realm, as it is supposed to be blindingly beautiful, I would like to see Beth's imaginative take on this.

Another field that might have quite a potential, would be a realm of Meridia as very little is know about her except her association with living energies, that could give Beth ALOT of creative freedom.

I hope they have shrines like Morrowind, and quests like Oblivion. But not a storyline for them - For the past five years they have been the main storyline. Time for a break :)

But with the new engine, this is Bethesda's to really give some interesting quests/ interactions with Oblivion and its masters.

And besides after 200 years, religions can change. Maybe worship of Daedra has gone on the decline and they dont like that very much. Can you see Molag Bal sitting back and letting some dragons destroy his future slave population? I dont.

I would like for one Olivion gate to be in it, for a side mission, or a random encounter which turns into a "discover why this gate is open" quest, which turns out ot be a rogue deadra captain or something...

I would love load s of random Unique things like this in Skyrim, some random things from the past

They have to be in locations far away from the population centers. Especially for Two important reasons;

#1; Even though it has been two centuries since the fourth game, the people will be even more hostile to those who support and worship the daedric gods. Since I'm pretty sure all regions were affected by the Oblivion crisis, both politically and socially. So Morrowind's daedric culture would be critized by the Elder Council and Ocotto after its ending, and all worshipers will even be in a worse situation. Since only in morrowind that they were *slightly* popular.

#2; Nords are extremely anti-gods that are not in Nordic tradition or culture. There will be exceptions, but this has been the main Nord way. That and with the coming of dragons, this will increase tension. Since now its 'the end is nigh!' at an all time high from what we know of this legend of Dragons and...Skyrim. With some Dungeons here and thar.

But that's my speculations on that, maybe we'll see something a bit more realistic concerning the civil war and how sides usually take the best way to gain favor or power.

I dunno.... I already thought it weird they were in Oblivion.... I mean the daedric followers just gathering around huge statues of daedric princes in the heart of the empire.... daedric worship isn't really well seen in the empire. Or by the Nords who have their own version of the Nine Divines.... I mean I'd be fine with secret shrines in remote or hidden places, but not just smack in the middle of the place for everyone to stumble upon... Oblivion's take on this was just... awkward. You see a nice big statue from far away. When you get there your greeted by some overly joyous Lady welcoming you and bidding you to try talking to the statue and BOOM your on a quest for a daedric prince... I hate bringing it up again, but Morrowind's daedric shrines were much more immersive/believable were as most of them were secret, underground, and its followers would practically attack you on sight in order to protect their place of worship... and thats in the Dunmer's homeland, where daedrea worship was widespread before the Temple began cracking all the worshipers skulls for the Tribunal!!

...and I'd actually prefer quests of the sort related to less known Daedric princes, seeing as it was more or less the same ones in Morrowind and Oblivion... receiving Goldbrand from Boethiah or Azura's Star from Azura is getting kinda old etc.., I dont mind them being in the game but its a bit lame when you know what reward you'll get before you even start the quest...

As the Nine are effectively a foreign religion it would be nice to see a temple plotline or two as in Daggerfall. In Cyrodiil those Primates had it too easy, here they'd be missionaries.

I keep thinking that somewhere along in the game some "EVIL" dragon worshipers will come about. After all the Nords have dragons in their religious pantheon. To see some religious tension between the factions would be nice to see.
