I've played Arena but all their provinces are pretty much the same design. So I voted for Cyrodiil as I really can't say much about the other provinces. But I'd like to know more of Elsweyr.

Nocturnal. I don't think this one has to be defined. Since I am a huge thief(in Oblivion) She is my favorite Daedra princess

The Cliff Racers are the Most Deadly Enemy EVAR!!!

And come on, who can't love a society made of nearly immortal bickering High Elves, so Summerset for the Win!

Akatosh and Alduin are two separate choices, yet no Lorkhan?

From what's been listed:
Hammerfell - I liked Stros M'Kai, and most areas in Daggerfall's portion of Hammerfell were pretty okay too for what they were. Plus, Redguards are my favorite race, their pantheon is awesome, and I want to go there.
Lich - Undead mortals who still retain their mentality but become total hardcoe badass skeleton spellcasters and are cooler than vampires will ever be. Hell yeah. (Dremora are cool too.)
Vivec - Lorkhan would have taken this one, but since he wasn't included...it goes to the magic hermaphrodite, the warrior-poet, Vivec.
Clavicus Vile - Such a hard choice to pick a favorite Daedric Prince. Most of them are great. Honorable mention for Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, and Hermaeus Mora.
Dagoth Ur - I don't really like the category of "evil guy" but hey, whatever. Dagoth Ur is the most interesting. Mathieu Bellamont is a disgrace to the other names on that list.


It would still be Daedric Prince, since they have no real gender and can take on whatever form they want. Also, if you ask me, Nocturnal is a disgrace. I haven't seen her steal a damn thing, yet she always gets things stolen from her. The cowl, the cloak, the Eye of Nocturnal. A few games from now, she won't even exist, someone will have stolen her place in the list of Daedric Princes.

Judging by this reply, we have the very same Elder Scrolls tastes. The only disagreement here is over the creature, and I juggled between Dremora, Liches, and Dragons, before deciding that the "Dragon Debates" of Skyrim looked too cool, even if I haven't had any experience (beyond Redguard and MMM) in dueling with the beasts.

Also disappointed about there being no Lorkhan, and Hermaeus Mora certainly vied for the Daedric Prince's spot, but I felt that Clavicus Vile, being much more fleshed out than the former, was a better choice. He also fulfills the typical 'trickster/devil' archetype, which all of the Daedra technically share, but which Vile in particular excels at.

Sorry about not including Lorkhan,Fiore and Velorein, Ive not played Morrowind nearly as much as ive played Oblivion.
Actually i only started playing Morrowind recently and im still trying to convince the ashlander tribes to call me the neverine.

No sweat. He can actually be described as "the missing god", I think mostly because he's dead, so it is poetic in a certain sense that he's not on the poll...

I guess if you want to get technical , then yes, I guess it would be a Daedric Prince. but seeing as all her appearance and referencing in the game have been in female form (The Night Mistress, and Mistress of Shadow) I will refer to her as a princess, since that's what she seems to want to be. Also UESP refers to her as a Daedric Princess.
and it's not what she does, it's what she represents.

Elsweyr, southern Tamriel interests me so much - especially the Khajiit. I want to no more of their history (see the current RP I'm hosting - Desert Rose) and the Ta'agra language is one I'd like to learn.
Guar ftw
Julianos - the God of literature, law, history, and contradiction, this goes along with my love of English.
Azura is awesome - I want to be the God of the Night
Umaril, even though I'm pro Nine Divines, Umaril is bad-ass.

Vivec for my favorite god because he's just too cool. Dagoth Ur since he looks and is cool. Molag Bal for my favorite Daedric Prince. I remember doing a quest for him to kill one of his followers for being disloyal or something. My favorite creature is the Dragon which should need no explanation why. Cyrodiil is the best because Imperials is my favorite race.

I agree with you that elsweyr looks interesting (its half desert,half jungle) but i hate the khajiit. Summerset isle looks interesting because its separated from the rest of the continent and its home to the high elves and to magic, and im normally a magic user. It was also inhabited by sload at some point so there are ruins and caves etc. made out of coral and im always interested about the big crystal tower.

UESP is pretty terrible for lore, the fact that they identify her as a Daedric Princess is proof of that. All of them are supposed to be referred to as Daedric Princes, even the ones who only take on female appearances. You can even see that the other articles on UESP for Azura, Namira, and Meridia all refer to them as Daedric Princes. I don't know who changed Nocturnal's to Princess. Of course, you're free to call her whatever you want, just reiterating, and as you said, it's technically "Daedric Prince."

Morrowind - I'm House Telvanni all the way. Dunmer are my favourite race, and I love the lore. Exploring mainlaind morrowind in Tamriel Rebuilt was awesome.

I second Ni!'s Guar ftw.

Mara is my favourite of the Nine Divines, I pantheon I personally do not like that much. But Helena is a worshipper of Mara, so I might as well.

Of the Daedric Princes, Azura for me. I to have the moon and star tattooed on my neck or wrist (somewhere small and coverable, for work and such).

Dagoth Ur was my favourite "bad" guy, mainly because he isn't your generic evil villain. The lore is fantastic.

Valenwood, Dreugh, Vivec, Malacath, Dagoth Ur

UESP is NOT pretty terrible for lore In the book Fire and Darkness: The Brotherhoods of Death, the Night Mother is identified as the Daedra prince Mephala. (UESP)...

I don't see how that book makes UESP good for lore. Yes, they have the in-game books posted, but the articles are frequently wrong. As already stated, it listed Nocturnal as a Daedric Princess, it listed Trinimac as an Aedra, the list goes on. UESP is not the source of that book, the source of that book is Oblivion, and UESP just posted it.

It may not be strictly true and has a few faults but UESP is still good for lore. And they have always posted in game references e.g. books, speech/qoutes etc. to back up their points!

Compared to http://www.imperial-library.info/, which has all of the books, as well as information outside of the main games, and also makes its entire purpose to be lore-accurate, then no, UESP really isn't a good source of lore by comparison. It's good for learning about in-game statistics, NPC behavior, etc, but not for lore. It gets a lot of things wrong.

Answers to poll:

Skyrim
Other (don't really have one)
Vivec - Would have been Lorkhan.
Sheogorath
Dagoth Ur

What, no Sotha Sil? I went with Dibella instead, though Mara and Zenithar were close. Also, does no one else think Hungers are freaky and awesome?

Valenwood, Minotaur, Akatosh, Sanguine, Mankar Camoran

:stare:

Thats another reason I like Elsweyr, Khajiit are a very interesting race.

Awe man...

I remember a time before this poll got hit by Morrowind junkies driving their guar cars.
