Daedric Princes at War

Sorcrater · May 2014

So this question is purely for entertainment. Let's say that all the Daedric Princes suddenly go to war with each other. All of Tamriel is affected by the massive battling of Daedra and cultists. Even the princes themselves get involved. It is evident that you must choose a side or be destroyed in the crossfire. Which Daedric Prince do you choose and why?

They're already in a cold war with one another. I take it you mean into a hot war with Nirn as the battleground?

Of the sixteen, only two are worth taking side with: Azura and Meridia. They're the friendliest towards mortals. The others will happily turn mortals who follow them into ... well, you really don't want to know their 'rewards' once they're dead. Of the fourteen remaining, Hircine is about the best for that outcome, if you like being turned into a hunting hound for eternity.

Azure and Meridia for sure. Also Hermaeus Mora, being a sorceress of hidden knowledge, this Prince is important to me.

No, not Hermaeus Mora, I still remember him killing Septimus Signus in Skyrim when you unlocked the Dwemer lock and got his Oghma Infinium, just because Septimus was of less use than me.

Azura or Meridia are the best two options as they care for their followers.
If you're an Orc then Malacath might be a decent option.

Ignoring the obvious "good guy" options, I'd go with Mephala the Webspinner. I'd want to see all the machinations and schemes and connections. Like standing in the eye of a storm. Maybe. Or probably I'd just be a puppet to a daedra with an easy-on-the-ears voice.
