Favorite Daedric Gods

I changed my mind. While I will always think that Akatosh is way cooler, I also like Peryite and Hircine.

Hircine cause he has the best Artifacts (Sav's Hide and the Ring).

Peryite cause he looks like a smaller, crappier Akatosh. Plus, he isn't a [censored] like Azura.

I am a fanatic worshipper of Meridia since like ever.

btw, for dagon, it's not only "join us or die" but also "join us AND die!"

At least he's not BSing like most of the other princes, especially miss popular, Azura :stare:

I don't know way Molag Bal is instantly seen as pure evil. I find him interesting, as well as terrifying to be honest, because I don't completely buy into the idea he is simply the Prince of Self-destruction and Corruption. I've had this idea in my head for a while now that this interpretation of Bal was created by Aedric worshipping cultures, mostly the Nine Divine church, to make him unlikeable and simply stuck. But really I see him as the Prince of Self-liberation and Freedom which Aedric religions couldn't tolerant as, like the major real world religions, believe that doing the "good" thing requires sacrifice which I believe Bal would see as pointless and instead encourage the "virtue" of selfishness.

I just have this feeling that the authority in Tamriel is just too extreme in warning against interacting with Molag Bal that I think there must be an ulterior motive for their warning. For instance, in Morrowind he is said to be corrupting the bloodlines and while that sounds insidious it could easily be seen as Molag Bal supporting inter-racial love (awh). Even the whole corruption thing Bal is connected with I think are leaders fear that Molag Bal's influence corrupting and ultimately destroying their regimes. I imagine Molag Bal seeing regulation of anything as the weak holding back the strong, a very cold way of seeing the world but at least in a sense fair. So depending on your view Bal is either the embodiment of merciless anarchy or genuine freedom for all. Quite a contrast but at least it makes him a bit more deep and interesting than simply a god that wants to "r-word" any hole he can find.

SUMMARY: Molag Bal is an objectivist :P

Id have to say in no perticular order

Jyggalag(I like his avatar)
Meridia(helped Umaril(one of my favorite characters) and turned him into a daedra and she has auroans)
Dagon(Daedric armor is cool and I like the dremoras)
and thats about it I hope they show more daedra in tes 5. I like mora also looks cool and gruesome to me. And hircine is cool to.

Eh....have you done ANY research into this, or are you just saying things? If not, let me say this, he really is a bastage.

I like Peryite. I'm a relatively neat person, so I like his whole "everything in its right order" thing. Not to mention that he has a cool voice and is portrayed as a dragon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Peryite supposed to be the prince of order and pestilence? Wasn't Jygalagg made up as a plot device for Shivering Isles?

I think people misunderstand the statement "Peryite, whose sphere is the ordering of the lowest order of The Oblivion; who is known as Taskmaster."

That doesn't means he's Mr. Order here, just that he he's one who calls the shots and makes order of things, I guess. On Oblivion also states "Peryite's sphere seems to be pestilence." I'd think about that bit, along with quote in the above paragraph. Give it a little chew and see how it tastes.
