It is hard for me to decide, so I narrowed it down to my 3 favorite:

Clavicus Vile: Because of the way he twists everything. He seems like he's going to help you, and he actually does stick to the technical terms of his pact, but still finds a way to screw you over. Like how the vampires wanted their cure, well I killed them all in the quest, so technically they've been cured. You want the war on Skyrim to be done? Well Clavicus Vile will just kill everyone and there will be no more war technically. Plus I love his voice and his dog.

Molag Bal: Because of his whole domination and submission aspect. He doesn't want revenge, he wants submission.

Sheogorath: Simply because he is crazy. And I am a Criminal Psychology major. It works out.

(Dagon is pretty interesting as well, and I wish Sithis was a Daedric Prince, oh well)

So what are yours? In case your memory is foggy of the names, here is a list:

Azura, Boethiah, Clavicus Vile, Hermaeus Mora, Hircine, Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, Meridia, Molag Bal, Namira, Nocturnal, Peryite, Sanquine, Sheogorath, Vaermina (I think that is all of them).

My favorite Daedric Prince has to be Sheogorath. He can be so humorous in various twisted ways and I like his split personality. Who wouldn't :p?

I adore Sheogorath. "Mortal, insufferable." Snark at me, make me laugh, and you've made a friend for life. Sanguine is a definite runner-up (even if he is hopelessly glitched for my main character, he's just a missing arrow on the floor-- guess he thought I took too long getting around to him?), with gratitude for taking Janu drinking after a certain Jarl's unexpected marriage proposal.

I just had to let you know that I absolutely love your name and picture with the sweetrolls.

I haven't encountered all of the Daedric Princes yet, but definitely Clavicus Vile and Sheogorath.

Right? No one else has ever said Clavicus Vile (or at least from all that I have read around). Most people end up just saying Sheogorath only, but I couldn't limit it to just him. But Mr. Vile is definitely interesting, and I love his dog.

Oh, and I forgot to ask you. Personally, do you think they should have made Sithis a Daedric Lord? That way you could have a really interactive quest with him during the Dark Brotherhood at some point? (I saw your profile pic so assumed you liked that story line) I hated not being able to put a voice to him, or something. I only read what I could about him, but was left with just the Night Mother to listen to. What are your thoughts on this?

Sheogorath because apparently he is Irish.

From what I understand Sithis (Padomay?) is one of the oldest gods of Skyrim, Anu being the other. I suppose it wouldn't be a bad idea to have some interaction with The Dread Lord from time to time, but I think he's too omnipotent to ever possess the lowly status of a Daedric Lord. That's probably why he uses the Night Mother as his 'middle-man' for soul collecting instead of doing it himself; such things are beneath him.

Black Orchid:


Yeah that makes sense. If he was a Daedric Lord it would take away a little from his importance since they are less powerful than the actual Gods, after all he is the God of the void. Thinking of it in that way, he should be a god as he already is. But, like you touched on, I really wish there was something a little more interactive with him. Oh well!

As far as Gods, he would have to be my favorite. There's no avoiding Sithis, and death and going to the void is what makes us all equal in the end.[/quote]

Mine has always been Hermaeus Mora, but I also like Hircine and clavicus vile, sheogorath is annoying for me personally.

Haha you think he's annoying? I've never seen anyone with that point of view. Why do you say that?

Well I did like him a little more in the shivering isles expansion but he's a daedric lord that wastes my time having to listen to him talking about strawberry tarts and rubbish and his quests tend to be annoying with poor rewards, I see why people like him but I just don't at all.

I do agree with you on the reward part. While the Wabbajack is interesting, I never found a use for it. It has never helped me, unlike many of the other Daedra rewards.
