I know, this has likely been up a gajillion times, but not while I've been active, it aint.

What Daedric Realm, if any, would you like to see make an appearance in Skyrim? This doesn't have to be as the main plot of the storyline. It can merely be a well designed side quest for some shrine. It can be a part of the main quest of an expansion. It can be THE expansion, ala SI. Whatever.

While I think everyone wants there to be slower paced gaming here and there, I see no problem with the occasional epic storyline.


Personally, as I think anyone could have guessed, I would love to see Hircine's Hunting Grounds come into play. Partly because it isn't too "epic". It isn't flooded with seas of lava, or in-your-face insanity. The large forest theme really sits well with Skyrim, imo.

I also love the potential for the quests. Hircine is known to give his prey a "chance". I could imagine him taking mortals to his realm to partake in an epic hunt. Some of the stronger willed inhabitants of the realm could construct a small town, where they defend against the hordes of Werewolves/bears/boars/lions/etc at night. The player could join either side, and fight for Hircine's amusment. Day and Night cycles would be about, and Hircine wouldn't involve himself until the end, where he'll fight you, ala Bloodmoon.

Imo, this would be the ultimate method of obtaining Hircine's Ring.


Anyhoo, share your opinions. Remember that some realms may not be given full justice at our current technological level. (Such as Moonshadow, imo)

What are your reasons for not wanting any realms? Want a break from the Daedra? Personally, I think they're one of the things that make TES.


I've included names of the realms I can recall, and I've included Sheogorath twice for the two different realms (some say they're the same, whereas some say they're different) - Shivering Isles and the Madhouse.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of the Ashpit, but I'm not sure a mortal would be able to, like, survive there...
Although I would have said that about Dagon's plane before Oblivion.

Honestly, I think I'd like any plane of Oblivion to be exclusive to a DLC/expansion. Any major Daedric plane in Vanilla Skyrim would take up a pretty large part of the development team, and a minor addition wouldn't do a plane justice, IMO. On the other hand, if an entire expansion is devoted to doing a plane properly, it might be totally awesome.
EDIT: After hangin' out at UESPWiki for a couple minutes, I think Coldharbour would be the best Expansion material. I think it fits well with the darkened atmosphere in Skyrim.

Personally, I'd be pretty angry if we went to Hircine's Hunting Grounds. Hircine already got A LOT of air time in Bloodmoon, and there are Princes that we still don't know a whole lot about, like Nocturnal or Meridia. I'd rather visit one of their realms. Hermaeus Mora's Apocrypha sounds fun too.

i want to see peryites realm cause hes a dragon or at least looks like one

Having played peryites plane yesterday, it because it was fun.

ALL OF THEM, PLEASE.


and what do you mean not realisable to todays tech? just put HDR Bloom everywhere in Azura's realm <3

It's a scholars worst nightmare.


The realm of Snake Mount, with a quest inspired by the movie Cube.

Well definitely not the deadlands i've had enough of that place to last a lifetime

That's unavoidable with Lycanthropy.

Voted Azura's, because I think it would look just beautiful!

I would, actually, rather enjoy to see coldharbour myself. But I think the hunting grounds take the cake.

If you mean Peryites quest in OB then i have to disapoint you, cause that wasnt Peryites realm..... bliviongate:

Hircine - Hunting Grounds

It suits and fits this game.

None, and I want to keep it so that Oblivion was a special deal. Didn't go to a daedra's realm in all the games, save for the spin-offs and Oblivion.

Also, expect Hiricine's realm to be nothing more than only hack 'n slash and pure fighting. Mortals are the prey, Hircine's daedra are the predators. If you're lucky, you'll survive and he'll give you a present, but never the gift of being a predator...unless you are one of his hunting animals (i.e. a werecreature)

I gotta give it to Hircine, the hunting grounds would be epic... For some reason the story, The Most Dangerous Game came to mind when you suggested that... I do believe that it would make an amazing expansion however...

Moonshadow or Hunting Grounds for sure!
Moonshadow could be interesting as Azura is most ''good'' of the Daedric
Princes.
Hunting Grounds because it sounds like interesting idea for plane,
and fits Skyrim's theme well.

Any reason why people want to visit the realms, other than the cool and wow factor? Because that's all I'm really seeing.

Eh, I'd like to see all of them.

I'd love to see Moonshadow and Apocrypha.
Moonshadow because I like stunning places and Azura. Well Moonshadow fits the bill.
Apocrypha because I always loved the endless library idea.

However, sadly I don't think these would be very suitable places for expansions or any long quest lines.

lol...good question.

I'd go with none. I absolutely hated how they were done in Oblivion, and have no reason to think Skyrim would do it vastly different.

@Hellmouth
I think those are good reasons.
If something is cool you want to see it right?

The Apocrypha would be on the top of my list, just because I want to see more of Hermaeus Mora's history with the Atmoran people (ancestors of the Nords) to be expanded further. And yes, even just a visit to a corner of it sounds damn cool to me. That's reason enough for me to be honest, as much as I'd like to play the beast races just because they're a cool looking folks.

Second place would be Vaermina's Quagmire (better off released as an expansion/DLC for a fair representation, though). In my head, It would look sort of like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCMAg6ppN7s, only much, much trippier. (Cinematographic filter effects included).

Jyggalag and Hermerous Mora. The unlimited books there... in both the library of Jyggalag and the faceless books of hidden knowledge... I could only imagine.

I just realized Jyggalag is on the list. He doesn't have a realm, and I imagine in 200 years, he'll have returned to being Sheogorath once again. Our stopping the Greymarch was only temporary.


To learn! I want to know more about almost all of the Daedric Princes, and what better place to do that than their realms? Beyond that, and the cool and wow factor, there's not a whole lot of reason to visit them, except, of course, that it'd be a fun experience. Those are pretty much the only reasons to do anything in-game though.
