Who is your favorite Deity? : V - Skyrim

» Fri Sep 28, 2012 11:29 pm

Kynareth, if only because Jeremey wrote such a beautiful hymn to her for Oblivion!

Maybe there are, but they just aren't explained. Froki could easily be Kynareth, for example. The thing is, would you have recognized these Ama Nin, Jon Hawker and Wulf without UESPWiki or the Imperial Cult priestess? I'm sure I wouldn't have. :tongue:

Ama and Jon give some items named after the deities they represent, but my first thought to that probably wouldn't be: "Hey, they must be their avatars!"
I don't remember Wulf's dialogue that well, but I think that he gives out some clues to his identity. Still wouldn't have figured it out on my own. I know because I didn't.
Froki as Kyne is a good theory. Another one I saw a while ago and found interesting:

Spoiler

Knight-Paladin Gelebor (in Dawnguard) could be an avatar of Auriel.

another question, which deity/god looks most awesome? just though about how they all look and most of them look pretty damn badass, Dagon for example, a huge red devil with four arms and a great battleaxe.

I'm sure I'll regret asking this but... how "deep"? D:

...not deep in a dirty meaning

Arinbjorn's (my character) great-great-great-brothers-in-law went to Cyrodiil and became followers of Dibella, thus initiating the family tradition of worshipping her.

In Skyrim, I love the way http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/2721/2115814-boethia.jpg looks.
In TES, http://images.uesp.net/d/df/DF-Nocturnal.gif for the simple creepiness, http://images.wikia.com/elderscrolls/images/d/d7/Statue_akatosh.jpg because it's a two headed man-dragon. http://images.uesp.net/f/fe/SI-creature-Jyggalag.jpg needs no explanation. And all of the Morrowind (demi)gods.

agreed. Also, the reason I love Talos so much in Skyrim is because the first time I laid my eyes upon his statue in Whiterun, I just fell in love with how badass he looked, I mean, that armor and the way he holds the sword.

Dunno, pretty much everyone's some generic badass stereotype -- which by no means is a bad thing! But for originality, how about I say the lighter, Barbas-side of Clavicus Vile? ^_^

I'm still bothered by this "family tradition of worshipping Dibella", but I think I'll leave it at that...

The "beauty" part of Her!

...and if we're a little more *passionate* than the rest of the people, what's wrong with that?

(thought we don't like incist, so don't get the wrong idea again

).
