Sanguine, at least then you get to have nice parties... The rest will probably kill you anyway

Sheogorath. I do agree his portrayal in the Shivering Isles was a bit spastic, but I've always been a fan of the lovable, mad banker. ^_^

Torn between Azura and Sheogorath but I went for Azura in the end. Probably the least homicidal or bat[censored] insane Daedric Prince going.

Thank you, I was wondering what to call Meridia.


Meridia is actually the Daedric Prince of Light, as of Skyrim. It can be derived from her name, Meridia, (meridian) which means Midday, her weapon, "Dawnbringer", as well as a number of more obscure, but no less important references, primarily from the Censis of Daedric Lords. Also she is proclamed as such in Bethdesa's own walkthrough guide for Skyrim

No guessing who I voted for.

I'd not like to communicate with any of them if they were around, haha.
I guess, from a game perspective I would have to go with either Azura or Meridia. They seem quite genial towards the living I guess.

Molag Bal, Hermaeus Mora, Sheogorath, Mehrunes Dagon, and Jyggalag, in no particular order.

Peryite.

He's the prince of diseases! Plus, he's a pretty chill guy, in general. Is the only prince who doesn't want to do unspeakable thing to the Daggerfall character if they refuse service.

Clavicus Vile. Despite the ol' screechy voice acting in Redguard he was so refreshingly forward in his intentions in contrast to the other Daedra.

I'm the glad the only other person to vote for my favorite Daedra made his reasons known. ;) Clavicus Vile is my favorite, and hey, I liked his voice acting in Redguard and I've been really disappointed lately that the recent games are not adhering to that manner of talking. There was a high-pitched and low-pitched voice that both spoke together, and he switched between one pitch being the dominant one and the other not. It was awesome.

And I completely agree, Picaresque. He's straight-forward. To quote Clavicus Vile himself: "A follower of my brother, Hermaeus Mora, once said: 'the ultimate purpose of the Daedra Lords is to instruct and improve the generally deplorable character of mortals.' Lovely sentiment. But in fact, I watch mortals and meddle now and then, purely for entertainment."

As a scholar, I can't say I'm really a fan of Hermaeus Mora. I mean, look what he did to Septimus Signus, and that's not the first example. His realm has a bunch of empty books, or else filled with knowledge about everything except what you're looking for. He's a scholar's nightmare.

Honorable mention for Molag Bal as well. Corrupting mortals is awesome.

Used to be Sheogorath, but the Shivering Isles completly ruined him for me. Such a tacky representation of madness, really awful.


How was it tacky?

Have you ever met a madman?

Sheo was more "Whee look at how crazy I am, isn't this wacky?" than truly mad in SI. I chalk it up to him trying desperately to overcome his change to order and trying to overcompensate.(Which of course didn't work)

Psychology is usually horribly misrepresented in entertainment. And the odd pairing of mania vs dementia bothered me, like they were trying to represent bipolar without first bothering to Google the short version of what that even is.

But as the daedric prince of wackiness and suits, Sheogorath is my favorite TES character.

Tacky as in slipshod, lacking in interest and style, and more than that, annoying. The Shivering Isles was a descent into tedium more than an exploration of insanity. There was nothing dark or disturbing about Sheogorath in SI, it was just silly and simple, which is not my cup of tea. The articulate and sophisticated Sheogoraths of past games I appreciated more.

And Sheogorath didn't need the horrendous Scottish accent. That probably annoyed me the most.

I vote for Malacath, Prince of the Spurned, Prince of Oathbreakers, Prince of Lawful-Neutral. At first he was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAn7baRbhx4, obsessed with the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aaubVlhNK4!

Except in this case, Armand Assante devoured Trinimac the moment he removed his fricking helmet.
Don't remove your helmet.

Now Malacath holds only to his personal law, albeit twisting and warping as the cosmos ages. Even if you are a tusky horned greenskin with a terrible lisp and a peanut brain and mannerisms of a stegosaurus, if you are strong, you live by your word, and Malacath will reward you. Or at the very least, not strike you with lightning for touching his altar.

but i'm overplaying him. He's probably the weakest Prince, if you could call him that, as his Siblings would say.

Peryite is actually meant to be the weakest prince iirc, regardless of his apparent incarnation in the next Kalpa.

All hail the Lord Molag Bal whose sphere is the domination and enslavement of mortals, who wants nothing but suffering and death, the King of [censored]!

Molag Bal makes the other princes look like sissies.

Though Hermaeus Mora is quite cool as well. As is Hircine.

I chose Meridia. Her quests in Oblivion and Skyrim were very much my cup of tea.

Peryite. Though I might change my vote to Namira if no one votes for her soon. Her quest and relic in Skyrim was damn awesome. Her quest in Oblivion was pretty cool too.

A long-standing fan of Boethiah. Too many Daedra are just, well, what you would expect from the Princes of Misrule: crosseyed, purposelessly, batsh*t insane. Which is a heck of a lot of fun.

But... add a Daedra that is tied into something as meaningful in TES as the Revolutionary, Rebel/King dynamic?

Yes please. :thumbsup:

From the moment I got my hands around Sanguine's staff I knew he was going to be my favorite Daadric Prince. I mean how can you not love a god of debauchery?
