The Good Doctor Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 What surprised me most about the last poll wasn’t the winners. It was the fact that someone other than BT (who we all know is secretly just like Theo in real life) chose Mephala. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the fact that someone other than BT (who we all know is secretly just like Theo in real life) chose Mephala. Mostly, it was because no one else in that group really appealed to me, so I channeled Theo and picked her. But I’m definitely not like him. He’s a villain! Or at least, should be considered one by any reasonable person Edit: I’m most surprised by Malacath making it. I didn’t see that coming at all Edited June 28, 2018 by BTCollins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival of the fittest, it's tough love, but it's there Hircine loves the hunter becoming the hunted. But he holds himself to that same standard, that's why he rewards Mortals for beating him (which he does in both Skyrim and Bloodmoon). Quite Honorable And his afterlife is pretty fucking awesome. Get to hunt for all eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see that coming at all People love an underdog, and he’s basically the Prince of underdogs. Plus, he ain’t a schemer or some squeaky voiced pansy. The guy secretly doubles as the Prince of being jacked and using comically large hammers. 28 minutes ago, BTCollins said: But I’m definitely not like him. He’s a villain!

I’m onto you, Collins. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I’m less partial to the part where the greatest hunters are basically just his hounds, which sounds kinda bleh. And the danger of the hunt turning around on me is just too much stress to deal with for an eternity. Then again, Boethiah ain’t much better in that regard. I voted her because she’s my favorite, but I wasn’t really thinking about it enough to consider that the question is about who you’d prefer to follow. For that, my answer would be Azura. At best, she’ll save me from a volcanic apocalypse and give me lots of power and boons. At worst, she’ll curse me to look like a badass for something my ancestor did. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She looks so boring though Look how fucking hardcore Hircine is. Giant buff Creepypasta man Now that I look at him he's basically the Capra Demon He even has two hounds...

Too bad the mythology makes him literally Boethiah’s shit. For that reason alone, I can never choose him over her when it comes down to it. Admittedly, as a Dunmer fan I’m pretty biased to the three Good Daedra as a rule. Even Mephala. If I could choose to be a certain type of daedra worshipper in TES, a Dunmer Ashlander who follows all three would probably be my first choice. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Since I highly recommended the series The Prince of Nothing by R.S. Bakker, I have to un-recommend it after getting through half of the third book. It was so promising but really takes a dive towards the end. Still some of the best battle scenes I've read, though, including wizard battles. Some pretty fucked up horror themes, also. As for where it goes wrong, I guess I'll spoiler it in case anyone plans to read... There's a character who hardly figures in the first book but ends up being the main character by the middle of the 2nd, and he's the most incredibly annoying Mary Sue I've ever encountered outside bad fanfiction. His terribleness corrupts the other good characters and turns the plot trivial. I have to give the writer points for some original ideas, but this was one risky one that torpedoes his final effort. 1 "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

BigBossBalrog Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You guys should try the Total War series There all on sale, their a mix of Empire Management, tactical battles, and deep RPG stuff. Addictive as hell. Shogun 2 Warhammer, and Rome 2 are great places to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives his children many boons that allow them to survive in a harsh world. What other prince rewards you for outsmarting/outfighting him? I like how he's always polite, and courteous too, that alongside him rewarding people who out smart him give the impression, he lacks alot of the pride and ego the other princes have. He seemingly respects mortals alot more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I see that as for his amusement as well, the way Romans gifted Gladiators or granted them freedom if they wanted it. Sure they respect those men, even loved if you asked some of them. But ultimately it was all for the amusement of Rome.

He's a good sport about it too. I dont think he's quite benevolent. The Curse of Werebeasts is fucking horrifying and has caused much suffering. The Glemori Coven is especially showing of his darkside. I just like him and his attitude Hardly the worst of Princes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
