We have seen lots of screens, concept art and the trailer, but none of them shows any daedra! Not even a scamp! As far as I remember I dont think there was any daedric minions in Solstheim, so can we expect them to roam the world of Skyrim?

Probably some daedric activity. Have been that in every single TES so far, right?

there were some frost atronachs in bloodmoon.

Of course there will be Daedra. All it takes is a Daedra worshiper to summon a lesser Daedra for an extended amount of time and there you go. Daedra roaming around Skyrim. It's unavoidable.

Really where?

Im just concerned. You know all those footages with Todd and his crew at their studio, with all the artwork on the walls, and no one shows a single daedra!

Well, consider this, how much artwork have you seen of Khajiits and Argonians and Orcs? Obviously they'll all be in-game, we just haven't seen what they look like yet. Relax, buddy. They can't show us everything.

This. Even if they wanted to take daedra out of this game, it wouldn't make so much sense.

haha well i guess I didnt use logic!

Seeing all these creatures that looks terrifying in the trailer, I cant help but get excited to see a Dremora!!!

Just imagine the armor design! :sb:

Same here. Dremora are my favorite Daedra.

they were in some cave or maybe a few caves, can't remember now. Been awhile since i played.

Oh ok, I really hope we get some screens of them soon.

And those shrines better be in a cave or some kind of temple. A stature placed in the wilderness is just ridiculouse

It hasn't been said, but I'd assume the answer is yes. Daedra have been a stable of the series so far and I see no reason why they'd take them out in Skyrim. We haven't seen pictures of them, of course, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're not in the game. Much more likely, it's just that since they're not a major focus, Bethesda hasn't felt the need to show them, after all, we haven't actually seen images of all that many different types of creatures yet.

The fact that we didn't see many of them in Bloodmoon doesn't mean anything as while the environment is similar, Solstheim is not Skyrim, and there can be creatures that didn't appear on Solstheim but do exist in Skyrim, and the inverse can also be true. I don't recall seeing any Dwemer ruins on Solstheim either, after all, and those are in Skyrim.

Yes this is true, i just hope that there just there for being there with no purpuse at all. I dont want a bad excuse for them, but give them some kind of background when we see them in caves/ruins. Like a dremora lord has survived the war with Oblivion and Tamriel and has lived for 200 years in the mortal realm with his minions or something like that. Just give us a reason to why they are there.

I assume the excuse will be the same as it's always been since before TES4. Daedra get summoned for incredibly long periods of time and they roam freely around Tamriel. If there's a bunch in a cave, then there were probably Daedra worshipers there at one time. The excuse has already been taken care of.

I'd love to see what a Xivilai will look like in the new game

its a given

We have seen Argonian artwork but it's not a close up it's a medium shot

I assumed they summoned the artwork from an Oblivion plane whenever they did concepts for them

I don't even care if we have a good explanation of why they are around. They were before Oblivion so there have to be some somewhere. Tamriel is a big place, lots of places to hide.

I'm sure they're in game. Personally I can't wait to see how all creatures look but Dremora are one of the ones I'm most curious about. Hopefully they'll look more demonic, scary and powerful this time. I mean a Dremora Lord should be pretty hard to face (and rare...but that's also related to the levelling system I guess)...in OB they were easily beaten :sadvaultboy:

What's an elder scrolls game without daedra? Frost artonachts (or how the hell you spell it...) would fit...

Bethesda has been very strict with what they choose to show off.

Daedra simply arent the focus of Skyrim.They'll be here to some extent Im sure.

I'm sorry but that's a horrible argument..we haven't seen an Orc, Khajiit, Argonian, etc etc either. But those will be in the game.
Daedric weapons/armor/creatures are a staple of the TES series, and have been in the game since game 1. They'll be in Skyrim.

I would be very sad if there were no daedra in Skyrim, but I think the chances of an Elder Scrolls game not having any daedra are somewhere around zero. So I'm not worried.

I certainly hope you are right. If anything I would love to see more types, but at least all the ones we have seen before should be present, even if only as summons (for PC spells and NPC spells) and lurking around Daedric Shrines and Conjourers dens

I was wondering and slightly worrying about this as well. . . but then, I have seen nothing of the things you mentioned, nor of bears, liches, any type vampire etc., yet I assume these things shall be in as well. They may not have shown Daedra because they are possibly both more rare in the game and because they want to highlight the new things in Skyrim, not recall to mind all the features and dominant themes of Oblivion. Yet, considering how much of a presence they are and always have been in Elder Scrolls, it would be odd and dissapointing indeed if they were left completely out. bliviongate:

I have wondered, and seek answer. . . since the Septim Line is gone. . . even with the deeds of Akatosh, are Nirn/Mundus more or less accessible to Daedra in general? Some lore master, help me out with this.
