Hello, I've been looking into some things, seeing where I could gather up some personal opinions. So I thought "If I want some opinions, look to the forums!"

So I did.

My question for everyone who sees this is : who is possibly the most terrifying character in the games?

I'd try answering myself, but I'm drawing up a blank. I thought at first it was the Daedra of course. . . But what do we not know about Daedra? They are murderous beings who live in their realms of oblivion. It's not so scary once you know about them and what they can do. Maybe Sithis or the Night Mother, but we know at least something about them. Maybe the scariest person in the game has to be evil?

As Excalibur would say, "Fools!"

Does the scariest person HAVE to be evil? No, it doesn't. I think that the divines are the scariest in the game.
First, they created the mortal realm, yes? They can take it back just as easily, whereas Daedra can't destroy; they can only invade under odd circumstances, proven with TES IV : Oblivion. Yes, they can invade BUT they can't destroy.

Aedra can. They can do what they want, everyone worships them, but what do we really know about them, how did they come to be?

Oh, but they protect us! They do so much good!

Yes, but think of how many lives they would take to ensure Nirn's safety? Hundreds? Thousands, maybe even millions, and let's not forget all the other continents on Nirn. The barren desert, the icy wasteland, deadly tropicals, and many other continents on Nirn undiscovered! If the divines weren't to be suspected, explain why Tamriel is the only place considered habitable? If Tamriel is cursed with the same fates as the other continents, I bet the divines would just watch as the citizens of Tamriel squirm and writhe to survive.

There are so many possibilities, but just keep what I said in mind, and sorry for the rantings.

Back on track, who do you think is the most terrifying thing, character, or whatever in the game? What's your reason?

Michael Kirkbride. For if his C0DA blather becomes canon, I'm liable to just say "http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarknessInducedAudienceApathy" to the franchise.

[And it was during] these fits of anger and nonsense that Pelinal would fall into the Madness, where whole swaths of lands were devoured in divine rampage to become Void, and Alessia would have to pray to the Gods for their succor, and they would reach down as one mind and soothe the Whitestrake until he no longer had the will to kill the earth in whole.

Dude's scary as [censored].

Dagoth Ur, simply because he sounds so calm and reasonable.

Dagoth Ur is one sinister mother ******, that's for sure. I also find Molag Bal to be pretty terrifying too. Maybe not on the same level as ol' Dagoth (or Vivec, for that matter), but still up there. His voice in Skyrim perfectly reflected it as well, I thought. King of R**e and all things dominating? Dude's scary.

Basically, anyone or anything that manages to wield absolute, unbreaking control over my characters and their paths. It's one thing when you're confronting Mehrunes Dagon as an enemy in Oblivion, regardless of his invincibility to everything except Martin Septim and Wabbajack. It's another thing entirely to be stuck as a hostage/accomplice to Hermaeus Mora on your way to confronting Miraak.

The Adoring Fan...

Cicero.. simply because he is so emotionally unstable, I mean some Citizens of the Shivering Isles are more stable than him, and thats a feat..

Yes, we mustn't forget him, either . . . He's even worse than the Daedra!

Mannimarco. Despite his laughably pathetic appearance in Oblivion, the dude is terrifying, not just because he's a cruel mother [censored], but because he's powerful, and ambitious. He's orchestrated two Dragon BreKs to achieve godhood, leatches off Arkay, and STOLE an aspect from a Daedric Prince. He's also the King of the Sload, who give me the willies anyway.
