Elder scrolls religion

[Vindestructable]

Azura 'cuz the star is awesome. Seriously, who doesn't want a soul gem that never runs out?

 

[LadyTiamat]

I always liked Dagoth Ur and his sixith house cult. Eating corrupt flesh, fever dreams, controlling from a far. Sounds very much like Cthulhu.

or

Hail Sithis!

 

[Lhynn]

Wish i could go and hunt some of those daedra lords, just go to where they live, plunder their treasures, kill their minions and bang their heads agaist a wall.
well... azura is alright i guess and maybe nocturnal.
My characters are usually agnostics that believe in nothing but their own power...

 

[Spitfire-IX]

Talos here. only because they said I couldn't have it and if there is one thing I love its getting all up in the mans face.

 

[Smeggs]

There's no love for Sanguine here? You disappoint me Escapists.

Sanguine is my bro. Pretty sure he was even there when I proposed to...whoever my supposed fiance was supposed to be.

I've used his staff to kill plenty of otherwise peaceful NPCs.

 

[Double A]

Oh god the Daedra are so awesome. There's a prince for everything. Including lettuce. I mean madness.

Hell, I liked Sheogorath the most before Shivering Isles.

 

[masticina]

Definitely a Daedra worshiper here. They're like Greek Gods, they're petty, they make mistakes, and they get bored and use mortals for their own amusement. Anyone who EVER played a Black and White game will understand their position intimately.

They're also incredibly interesting and make for great characters. Sheogorath for example - who is a personal favorite of mine - is truly "chaotic neutral" and completely insane. And the scottish accent really sells that to me. Seriously, he might reward you for your help, or if the mood strikes him, teleport you 17 football fields in the air just to giggle as you fall to your death.

Aedra on the other hand (the Divines) don't take much interest in the mortal realm, and while being "good" never do much in the way of influencing events at all (except Akatosh that ONE time).

I so agree with you serious the Nine Divines BORING... But Deadra you can expect them to do weird stuff. Oh you want me to go there and find that item sounds "simple" [yes this is just the beginning of going all over the map WOOOO] They certainly make things interresting! And Sheogorath is a favourite of mine. Again he might just as well make your dead a hilarious one!

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Daedra worship. Simply because Sheogorath is my favourite character in the Elder Scrolls.

Wabbajack Wabbajack WABBAJACK!

hell to the fuck yes.

 

[John the Gamer]

I play as an Argonian, and they are said not to care about religion so much soooo.... yeah. I do tend to take the blessings of talos though, because I like to think that makes me seem more sympathetic towards the nordic cause. (them being rather xenophobic and all that)

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

Whoever gives me the most stuff. Simple as that.

However I am fond of Meridia. She sounds like a badass.

 

[Vrach]

Talos. That guy is a badass dude. Plus he's kinda like the Jesus of Tamriel, if you think about it...

Hmmm, if Jesus was an emperor of dragon blood who conquered the Earth and was able to shout enemies to death, I have to admit, I'd be a Christian myself

edited for a lore fail up there x.x

OT: Talos' awesomeness aside, Deadra are my favourite. I love them, they're like the Gods of Greek mythology, instead of being perfect, goody two shoes Gods, they're mostly just powerful jackasses

edit: oh and the Tribunal Gods were pretty awesome.

Dude, just switch out the words or consider them metaphors and you have EXACTLY what Jesus did.

Example, he shouted out disease from people, shouted at water to make it let him walk on it, shouted at fish and bread to make it endless...So he didn't have DRAGON blood, but he did have DIVINE blood, kinda, being son of God and all. And he conquered a lot of the earth by spreading his teachings, and has his own hood up in heaven, etc. Plus, Talos being ascended to Aetherius and becoming a divine is almost a rip off from the bible with Jesus being ascended to heaven, etc.

I'm telling you bro. Talos = Badass Jesus.

Daedra show the same similarities, except with Greek gods, just like you say. Powerful Jackasses indeed
Try pissing them off if you can when you play Skyrim, be really ungrateful and cocky. They're fun

Metaphors being the main problem. In TES, Talos was a real man, a well documented emperor and what he did isn't impossible in that world, you can still see it in "present day". Jesus, or at least his special powers, are pretty much a myth (no offense to Christians, but my atheistic views aside, I think you can agree Talos is more "provable" in TES than Jesus is in RL).

And yeah I already fucked Azura over. Which I'm kinda sad about as I like her and she's the only good Deadra, but guaranteed Grand souls? Hells yeah. I'm not even sure what creatures have Grand souls in Skyrim. Dragons would be an obvious guess, but I hit a few of them with my Soulripper (my personal little soul reaping dagger) and saw a "resisted" message one too many times so not sure if they're immune. Guessing Ice Trolls or Giants maybe? But no clue, usually it was the Deadric creatures in previous games and the only ones of those I've seen so far are the dudes the guy in Azura's Star summons on your arse to defend himself.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

The Nine. It just isn't complete with Talos...
As seen in Knights of the Nine: Talos DOES have divine power - as his power is what leads to [color= white]Umaril's final and true defeat.[/color]

 

[Shirastro]

While i played Morrowind i worshiped none of them. My char was so powerful i actually killed Vivec....all those Daedra shmocks better be careful.

These days however i like Nocturnal. I don't really need his/her unbreakable lock-pick but since im playing with a stealthy sneaky character we are super best friends

 

[Al-Bundy-da-G]

Daedra are badass. Divines seem to do fuck all except the occasional blessing and Sithis is just cartoonishly OTT.

Out of the Daedra, I think I'd have to say I'd worship either Peryite, Mephala or Meridia.

Dude what about Sheogorath? He's like a clinically insane Sean Connery with a WABBAJACK!!

 

[Wayneguard]

Vivec was a pretty cool guy... Almalexia was a total ***** though. I would say the Tribunal but I really just like Vivec.

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

Mehrunes Dagon aaaaaw yeah!

 

[Vrach]

You're saying that having dragon blood, being able to absorb the souls of dragons and shouting to cause a thunderstorm and shit...isn't impossible..? Most people in the games don't believe any of that shit is actually real, that it's just a legend or myth, etc. Kinda like with jesus.

No wait, I'm not gonna get dragged into a religious discussion. Stop shoving your fucking atheism in people's faces, this has nothing to do with any of that, you're taking things out of context

Talos = Badass Jesus of Tamriel. End of story

And you can find grand souls everywhere. Mammoth's and Giants for example. Powerful Draugr...You fucked Azura over for a minor convenience! BWAHAHA JERK!

Haha, sorry, didn't mean to, although I knew it'd come across that way x.x
What I meant is that those things in those games exist and we know that for a fact as the player (and really, as any other NPC who sees me WUUUUUUUUUUUULDing my way through cities ). Hell, the Greybeards are a well known present day fact there. What we know about Jesus is just what we have written somewhere two thousand years ago. Faith is one thing, being able to see it with your own eyes another (again, don't mean any disrespect to religion here, just pointing out the difference in the way I see it)

And yeah, I fight Mammoths and Giants once in a blue moon. Powerful Draugr pretty much the same. Human, any human, has a grand soul and any Bandit wandering around is a hell of an easier target than any of those, not to mention a lot more common. Helps level Enchanting too, just keep topping off my enchanted weapons every time I slit someone's throat

 

[shadowelancer]

a combination of worshipping Talos and Sheogorath

 

[vivster]

the divines are fine (i think i'm in love with mara) but really the daedric are just too good at what they are doing
they are godlike beings but have all the honest characteristics of humans and that is that not all of them are inherently evil

take the divines and daedric princes together and you have all the greek gods and that's probably why i like them so much

 

[Riddle78]

Hermaeus Mora. Sure,he may look like the bastard child of Cthulhu and a lobster,but he's the Daedric Prince of Forbidden Knowledge. I see very few possible negatives to following him.
