Poll: Which Elder Scroll Cult would you join?

[RedDeadFred]

I'd go with Azura. She just seems like the least evil out of them all. Merdia is a close second but she loses out simply because Azura seems to care more for her followers.

Working with any of the others would be far too detrimental to my health. Most would make you do horrible things that would drive any normal person insane. If you fail to do what they wish, they would probably think of an incredibly terrible way for you to die.

 

[Baldry]

Sheogorath or Sanguine, it's a hard choice. In one I'll party till I drop and then party some more and in the other I'll be too insane to care...Decisions...Decisions...Go on then, I'll have a one way ticket to insanity town, mind the cheese!

 

[God's Clown]

Jyggalag to be sure, but since that wasn't an option, I picked Azura, because Azura's Star. I would have picked Meridia, cause that voice, but Azura's Star.

 

[WaysideMaze]

It's got to be Molag Bal for me.

Isn't Molag Bal a serial rapist? I'd rather keep my distance.

For me, Sithis. More powerful than any of your puny daedric lords.

But if I have to pick a daedra then Hircine. He may not be a force for good, but at least he's honest.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

There were several princes missing from the choices yet no one so far has mentioned Clavicus Vile.

As far as I know he is simply a trickster that likes to mess with the avaricious. Plus he has Barbus. I hate dogs but I like fictional ones that are funny. If you stay on his good side you might do well for yourself, or at least if you stay interesting.

Out of the poll choices though I picked Sanguine.

 

[Galletea]

Throwing debauched parties wins over servitude or insanity. So I'm going for Sanguine, primarily because he seemed like a pretty cool guy.

 

[karcentric]

Thanks for adding Hircine...

As people have already said, hunting + cool rewards.

 

[King of Asgaard]

Sheogorath, because he's the Joker of The Elder Scrolls mythos.
Let's face it, sanity is boring.

 

[Shimmak]

Throwing debauched parties wins over servitude or insanity. So I'm going for Sanguine, primarily because he seemed like a pretty cool guy.

Exactly, why would you choose to go insane for a week then get screwed and sent back to dawnguard with a screwed mind and probably some random muscle spasms. Plus, whne you tried to get back to sheogorath he would probably have forgotten that you even existed=completely screwed for life. Plus perma-parties seems pretty cool

 

[Shimmak]

I'm just wondering who voted for namira :^)

 

[Jynthor]

I'd either go for Azura purely because I like her or I would go for Meridia and create an order in her name dedicated to fighting undead. We'd march clad in silver armour adorned with the wings of Meridia, we would purge the undead from the land and I would lead them with Dawnbreaker at my side!

 

[Popadoo]

Sheogorath of course. Because what fun is there in making sense?

What you did there, I see it.
OT: I voted Sanguine, because I liked his quest in Skyrim the most. He obviously has a great sense of humor and is less likely to turn me into a boot or some other object, unlike SOME Gods *Stares at Sheogorath*.

 

[Corax_1990]

Screw this heresy! Talos all the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOVVVVEEEE TALOS.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

It's got to be Molag Bal for me.

Isn't Molag Bal a serial rapist? I'd rather keep my distance.

For me, Sithis. More powerful than any of your puny daedric lords.

But if I have to pick a daedra then Hircine. He may not be a force for good, but at least he's honest.

I got bored of being a werewolf pretty soon, and both of Hircine's 'gifts' are pretty crap.

And, to be honest, what's a little rape amongst friends, cultists or selective equal opportunity shag groups of humans and gods?

Besides, Molag Bal might have seduced and corrupted some of the purest and nicest, but as far as I understood his MO, his victims generally all consented out of greed or some other sinful disposition. Not sure about the house rules in Coldharbour, but I really wouldn't want to go around his house for tea and biscuits.

Oh, and he really pushed racial diversity - call it forced evolution - with some of his shagfests. Oh, and even though the creation of vampires is attributed to his shagadelic experimenting, legend has it he has taken the curse off at least one lucky guy, so I have to refute any and all claims of him being all evil. But compared to some other of the Daedric princes, he really seems to be an interesting guy with a story or two to share.

Besides, compared to his declared arch-enemy Boethiah, Molag Bal is a pretty straight up guy. That, and he gave me an awesome mace.

 

[WaysideMaze]

-snip-

If you're ok with the rape, then yeah I can see why Molag Bal would be a good choice. Although given the option of transforming into a giant wolfman or being raped by the god of rape, I don't have a hard time choosing 'wolfman.'

 

[Brendan Stepladder]

Toss up between Meridia and Azura, as they are the only two Daedric Princes which will allow me to avoid obtaining a brutal, brutal death.

 

[Doclector]

Sheogorath. Because samey, "perfect" minds? I really don't see that as how people were meant to be.

Besides, his book is awesome:

Spoiler

For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting.

Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge.

Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm.

Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear.

Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs.

Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque.

Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm.

Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real.

Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul.

Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming.

Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies.

Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be.

Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger.

Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.

Particularly that last bit. "loves us in our imperfection". Nobody is exempt from the madgod's favour. He does not favour one besieged minority like malacath. He does not favour only his own race like hircine. He favours those who accept both the blessings and curses of a mind unchained.

Damn, I should really write some stuff. And not put it on fanfiction. Because...no.

[snagli]

Molag Bal, but mostly based on the fact that he's got a kickass voice. I'm also a big fan of vampires, so the negatives I can ignore.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Sheogorath, as long as he sounds like Mark Hamil's Joker.

Last I heard he was more like Mr Krabb.
