A quick, fun poll on your favourite Elder Scrolls Gods. Inspired by http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1179529-igns-top-10-gods-in-elder-scrolls/page__st__40__p__17460937
EDIT: Changed GOOD, BAD and OTHER to 1, 2 and 3 on the poll.
EDIT 2: Gave alternate names to some gods

A bit n00bish seperating them into black and white categories, to some people Vivec is a bad guy, and Azura is good.

Still good though.

Now you're gonna get people :ahhh: ing because you listed Anu and Padomay as gods.

EDIT: And Sithis, who I'm pretty sure is Padomay.

Well ill say i voted for Akatosh, Sanguine, and Sithis.
Akatosh- whats not to love about him he [censored] Mehrunes Dagon real good. :flamethrower:
Sanguine- The Lord of hard partying, and the quest he gave was funny. :celebration:
Sithis- mysteris in nature, and the god of the DB, and for that he gets my vote. :rock:

Why are all the Daedra listed as "bad"?

Dibella. You've got to love her, because, well, she is kind of TES's version of the goddess of love.

I don't understand the good/bad categories, all of the gods are self-serving...and why are anu, padomay and sithis considered gods? Orkey is the nordic version of Arkay.

And where's the redguard pantheon?

Better to seperate the categories as

Aedra
Daedra
Redguard Pantheon
Other(such as the tribunal, phynaster, King of Worms, etc.)

Daedra are not necessarily "bad" gods. They are just...unconventional. But anyway...I voted Akatosh, Sheogorath (big surprise, right), and none for the last category...

So Lorkhan is bad guy? And Dragoth Ur is in the "other" category? The poll is really weird.

Kind of a strange poll. Anu and Padomay aren't really gods, they're concepts, they're everything that Is and everything that Is-Not, respectively. Sithis is also synonymous with Padomay, and it seems that the closest thing to an actual god the Dark Brotherhood worships, that they call Sithis, is actually Lorkhan.

And as far as the Good/Bad/Other categories, it doesn't really conform to anyone's general perspective. Even the Dunmer view some Daedra as Good Daedra and don't like the Nine, and it can't be an Imperial point of view because the Tribunal are there and Lorkhan is labeled as "bad."

Regardless, I voted for Vivec, Lorkhan, and Dagoth Ur.

If I had to lay down a top 10:

10. Boethia
9. Mephala
8. Meridia
7. Hermaeus Mora
6. Molag Bal
5. Hircine
4. Dagoth Ur
3. Clavicus Vile
2. Vivec
1. Lorkhan

This poll is obviously biased with aldmeri propaganda.

how is Lorkhan bad???????????????

Change "good" and "Bad" to "Anubic" and "Padomaic"; I personally see Arkay (death) as worse than Meridia (The spirit of life) (She's Anubic anyway)

I had to seperate them because there is a 20 option limit on Poll Questions. I'll just break them into 1, 2 and 3.

My opinion is the other way round.

Arkay governs life and death. The circle of life, and the dead are generally considered to be resting and at peace. Meridia has a connection with the energy of living things, not necessary the spirit of the living. I see her being connected to immortality and the undying (e.g; Alliance with Umaril) - excluding the undead since they aren't living or dead which could explain her hatred since it could be viewed as an affront to her issue.

So I consider someone who never dies to be far worse than death itself. But that's me.

Kynareth - Nothing like the open air And all the more so for her Nord aspect, Kyne, Widow of Shor, who I hope gets some proper attention in Skyrim.

Meridia - No logical reason, just so.

And my "Other" option: Ius, God of Animals - I know he was pretty much a one-off joke for a book referencing a glitch in Arena, but it's one of my favourite books and he deserves more. :yes:

Vivec, Molag Bal, and Dagoth Ur. I think at one point in time when I was reading one of the 36 lessons of Vivec, it said that Vivec slept with Molag Bal(hehe). Anyways I picked Vivec because he seems to be a masterful tactician because of his battle plans of his paperwork right behind him in his chambers. He for sure was a good general with good leadership capabilities saving his people from a flood of water teaching them how to breathe underwater if I remember correct. Molag Bal is really cool looking and has the coolest voice. He sort of looks like the demon Balrog in Lord of the Rings. Dagoth Ur is cool because of his golden mask, great organization, and has great individual power in general. Vivec and Dagoth Ur are a little selfish though and if they weren't, things would've gone a lot smoother in terms of justice, peace, and a more unified and powerhouse organization.

I couldn't find Jyggalag anywhere so I voted for Hermaeus Mora, the Demon of Knowledge. I'm not sure why Vehk is so popular. The Tribunal are a bunch of [censored]s.

There wasn't anyone from the first list that I really like. From List 2I picked Hircine. Of all the Daedra, he's the one that my character relates to be most (She is ranger/huntress and his sphere is the hunt).

From List 3 I chose Dagoth Ur because...well, he's Dagoth Ur.

arkay healed me...nocturnal gave me the key...anyone else should just stand aside

just from watching all the forums everywhere...i know that i have dudes that would utterly destroy all of you...and i don't lie

i was born ...and a nord i am...a nord with spells..a battlemage...and i walk through oblivion or anywhere i go...you are with me or against me...its best to be with me....let it be known that i don't let those that walk with me die

Akatosh/Auri-El/Alduin and Shezzar/Lorkhan/Shor. Mostly because they're such different things to different folks. They're loved/hated and revered/feared.

I dunno... everything else seems to follow in their wake. They're the Gods of Time and Space, after all.

Aside from those 2, Hermaeus Mora and Mephala.

Lulwut? What are you talking about?

You have access to people with access to atomic bombs?

Meridia because her statue was the most attractive. :hubbahubba: lol sorry

Ok....
Sithis is Padomay, You Forgot Jyggalag, and Anu and Akatosh andAlduin are all just different personalities of the same god
