ign's top 10 Gods in Elder Scrolls

Ign needs to stop.......

Yeah...
Some of it was funny. But the rest was generally obnoxious, misinformed, or fratboy-ish (the Dibella thing: "she's on my list 'cause she's hawt. lawl.")

I was responding to a quote about Sithis, and that was not what I was talking about. I was asking about how Sithis would not be a God, despite a great number of people believing he is. I have been told that in the TES world, if people believe something about the gods, then it becomes true after a while, which is why Alduin/Akatosh has a bit of a split personality.


That's a bit hard to say. Sithis isn't really a 'he' or 'it' or anything (though I suppose the lack of pronouns to describe nothing is fair use). For what Sithis is (or rather, what Sithis isn't) the concept is not heavily worshipped as a god. The question as to whether he would become a true god through continual worship should be self evident. Until he starts whispering in people's ears or taking some kind of action, he can't really be said to be a god. In the future? Who knows. The very concept is difficult to imagine. Sithis is nothing and from nothing to as to still be nothing but also to be. Perhaps there will be more development in Skyrim. I think it's an interesting concept.

The Vivec bit was towards earlier discussion, and not really related to your post.

Edit: I'd also like to note that in many of these cases, they are intentionally cryptic and that there isn't really one intended conclusion by the developers. So disagreeing is a perfectly valid opinion on the matter.

Oh, of course. I mean, the Madgod loves cheese, and I must support His will in all things. :frog:

(Like that frog--Sheogorath told me to put it there, so I had to obey...)

Lorkhan should have been #1. Whoever wrote this list knows nothing.

The list is meant to be entertaining and funny, it obviously shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's just for a laugh.

I dont even think the writer has played, or at least finished a TES game. Most of it was cogent plagiarism, the other was straight from the UESP. We could of written a better article. Why have a guy that doesnt even know about TES write an article about it?

That's the worst part though, its about as funny as terminal cancer.

I find it amusing that he likes a couple gods that literally has very little lore to it :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

I nitpicked through the lore and tried to speak simply so as to avoid upsetting the Skyrim n00bs when it came to Alduin being listed separately from Akatosh...

Dagon is the most powerful of all daedra! How the hell is he in 10th!? Let me correct that, Jyggalag is the most powerful of all daedra (almost combined) and contains infinite knowledge of the universe! How his library compares to Hermaeus Mora is unknown. Considering how Mora's library contains "hidden knowledge" it may have something that the library of Jyggalag didn't have, but then again maybe not.

Unfortunately, too many people on this forum can't take a joke when it comes to TES.

If they belive he is a god, doesn't he bevcome a god? I was of the understanding that that was how it worked.


I thought he/she/it was a void, nonexistence personified, something like that.
