I understand the addition of Deadric Prince items and all. As they are usually story bound. But how about at least finishing off the Eight Divine items and maybe start showing them a little love.
Am not opposed at all to the idea but I wouldn't be surprised if the DPs are popular and that's what drives this. In fantasy gaming they're somewhat unique.
Ranging from great (eg. Azura) to ghastly (eg. Molag Bal) with the whole spectrum in between. Not all on the same side. Fighting each other as often or more than us / Tamriel. And generally not truly caring about being worshipped, which is bread and butter for most gods.
