So, Todd confirmed Deadric Prince quests a while ago, but he also said that not all the princes had a quest. Who do you think will have their own quest this time? Personally, I would hope 12-13 of them, and I would like the return of Vermina, Sheogorath and Nocturnal. The rest ain't that important. So, who do you think will return to the land of the nords?

When did he say that?

Sheogorath would be cool to have again.

Watch the German interview with Todd Howard....

Wait, Todd never mentioned "all the princes had a quest" he never said that, he said most nt all but most will make a return and I'm sure those that are returning will all have quests. I would love to see a Hicrine quest for the Werewolves and a Azura quest for the Vampires : )

Hircine definitely, but I would love to see something actually related to his sphere of influence be implemented (he's the Daedric Prince of pleasure, right?) Let's raid a town and start a brothel or something, lol.

Wrong.

"http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Hircine is the Daedric prince whose sphere is the Hunt, the Sport of Daedra, the Great Game, the Chase, and is known as the Huntsman and the Father of Manbeasts"

You're thinking of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Sanguine.

No. Hircine's sphere is the Hunt. Sanguine's would be the sphere of pleasure, or passionate indulgences.

I want to see quests from the Princes we don't know as much about, such as Nocturnal and Meridia.

I Hope Peryite have a Good Quest since it's an Dragon Invasion

Azura definitely

Yeah, I'd like Hircine, Hermaeus Mora and Molag Bal definitely. Also Sheogorath would be cool, but I don't know how they'd do it. (Shivering isles and all).

Also maybe Mehrunes Dagon. (Maybe we'd have to kill an emperor. :wink_smile: )

Maybe by saying "Most, but not all" he means all of them but Sheogorath seeing as how it would be kinda difficult to do his without using Haskill or saying the CoC already transformed into Sheo's form already. I dunno, just an optimistic thought.

I'm not so up in the Quantity, so much as Quality, in both their quests, and how the Daedra princes are realized in the game itself. One thing that bugged me about Oblivion, was each Daedra Prince that was featured, had his one, and only shrine, out in the middle of the forest or whatever. I don't know why it bugged me so much, but coming off Morrowind, where you enter a Daedric ruin (Except Boethia), fight your way through hostile (and sometimes not) worshipers, and find the statue, which may, or may not be a conduit to summon the Dreadra prince himself, Oblivion's "HERES THE SHRINE, NOW GET THE OFFERING AND NOW YOU NEED TO BE THIS LEVEL TO EVEN DO THE QUEST" just felt totally inorganic. Again, this is one of those features that highlights how Oblivion's world wasn't threaded together very well. The various strings and threads were just kind of tossed to the wind to do their own thing, never interacting with the whole picture.

Give me Sanguine, first and foremost, then Azura, Meridia, Clavicus Vile, Sheogorath, Molag Bal, Norcurnal, Boethiah, Vaerinma, and Hircine. . .maybe Hermaeus Mora. . . and portals into pockets of each of their realms, Lesser Daedric servants for each, and eventual spells to summon said lesser Daedra, and many praises shall I sing. :bowdown: bliviongate: :celebration:

Very well said sir. I really hope the devs have addressed this issue for Skyrim.


As for the Princes appearance, my guess for the most likely to have a good enough number of followers in the province:

• Sanguine (many Nord would be so down into his drunken revelry and general debauchery thing, I reckon)
  
• Hircine (they might actually see him as a pretty cool guy sometimes. There's lotsa woodlands, game animals, etc. in Skyrim after all)
  
• Hermaeus Mora (he was referred to as the "Atmoran Demon"; the "woodland man" or something who lures unsuspecting people into his wicked ways, as they said of in the lore)
  
• Mehrunes Dagon (Blizzards, avalanches, landslide, etc... Business as usual. Not to mention the whole civil war going on at the moment, which my raise his popularity somehow)

Princes of lesser popularity:

• Mephala (whether or not that the Night Mother is really is her, she seems to be the type who doesn't want to miss all the mayhem/"lulz" that the Dark Brotherhood got into)
  
• Azura (I guess her shrine will be one of the very few who will be out in the open due to her relatively "agreeable" nature, not to mention her vanity... which is the most important factor actually!)
  
• Vaermina (rugged terrains + harsh climate = none too sound sleep)
  
• Meridia (they might need someone to help keeping those runaway draugrs in check from time to time)
  
• Molag Bal (those vampires/volkihars might favor him)

The rest is up for grabs. A few rogue politicians might secretly worship Boethiah, though. As well as amongst the few surviving immigrants from Morrowind perhaps.

By "not all" could he be talking about the issue with Sheogorath and Jyggalag?

I don't think they'll both return.

I'd like to see Hircine, Azura, Boethiah, Hermaeus Mora, Clavicus Vile, Sanguine, Mehrunes Dagon and maybe Jyggalag (someone has to restore some kind of order to Skyrim ).

I don't really care for Namira, Malacath or Mephala.

I'd love to visit Moonshadow, Attribution Share and/or Apocrypha if given the chance.

Be cool to have Jyggalag AND Sheogorath. and have a cool little easter egg associated with Sheogorath for OB players

sheogoraths must be hilarious or a giant mind****

dagon's must be extremely destructive and violent.. perhaps you telleport to his realm to take part in a dremora clan war

As an earlier poster said, Sanguine would probably be a huge favourite among the liqour and lechery loving Nords ( indeed, most folk, would likely have some Sanguine enthusiasts among them, but Nords, Dark Elves, and Kajitt imparticular, I would think).

I would imagine Boethiah would also be popular among such warrior folk. Maybe Dagon and Molag Bal as well, for the more violent types.

Azura and Meridia seem likely to be ever popular with pretty much everyone, and Meridia would be an understandable patron for any having problems with Draugh, though some historical minded Nords might be averse to her due to her popularity amongst the Aylieds of olde.

BOOOOM!! You just voiced the thoughts I didnt even know I had.

Im hoping for a lot less than oblivion.. it was way too common place and easy to just walk up to a commonly known shrine and get some sacred arfiact.. I want my arfifacts rare and hard to get/find thank you

As unlikely as it is I would like all the Daedric Shrines to be present in the game. However they should be better hidden than they were in Oblivion and some Daedra worshippers should be more hostile than others. Maybe the Shrine of Meridia (Daedric Prince associated with life and energy) should be attacked by Necromancers and you can choose to side with either the Daedra or the Necromancers.

So long as the statue works, does it really matter what it looks like?

There is a difference between hard to find and entirely inaccessible. If Boethiah's shrine wasn't hard to find and get to, I don't know what would be. Having to go into Obivion to reach the shrines rather defeats the purpose. How far out of the way are they supposed to be? Under the Sea? Hope all the other worshippers are skilled in alteration. Lol.
