Nocturnal or Mephala?

Now that Summerset is out, I should be able to post this here.

Sorry, not sorry, but Mephala is hotter than Nocturnal.

Skyrim led me to believe Nocturnal was hotter, but now, I'm not ashamed to say Mephala takes that honor in ESO.16i7crx62yyz.jpg

    Lmao, exactly. Also, she's basically bald under that hood.

    Can anyone with Summerset on live confirm this as her final look?

    Well, I can't argue with that. I hate spiders. But as far as looks go, I'd rather suffer through having spider pets and dealing with Mephala's spider legs protruding from her back, than Baldilocks.

    Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.

    I thought Nocturnal was supposed to be ugly beneath her Cowl?

    "...none should laugh outright
    At the Daedra Lord Nocturnal.
    Without her gray Cowl of shadowed Night,
    Her hideous Face forced the Moons
    To hide themselves."


    "...To look upon Nocturnal's face without the cowl is to view the depths of the void. A man would lose his mind to see it."

    The impression I got from "Song of Hrormir" is that Nocturnal's face is always completely shadowed by her Cowl.

    I would have loved a nocturnal look matching this. She def would have been my favorite here then. I long for character full for female characters instead of the always photo-model-look for woman (men are often a way broader range of looks). Reason I love the crone/crow-woman in eso. Not pretty as in attractive but awesome design. Then again games not often dare to take that route as for some reason prettying up woman seems to be the norm, even if not canon.

    Lore-wise I prefer Nocturnal too, and again, in Skyrim she didn't look bad.

    We are finally getting Nocturnal statue furnishings?! It's about damn time! I was disappointed when we didn't get it for CWC.

    I just personally got to this part of the questline, and I gotta say that both Nocturnals' visuals and voice is... surprisingly weak in comparison to both Mephala and Clavicus Vile.

    Both Vile and Mephala got a unique menancing model that is true to the tales surrounding them. But Nocturnal? Lets turn her from a beautiful darkness into an overgrown redguard with a metalic-looking dress. Hell, even her statue looks.. surprisingly, far far far better than the actual appearance.

    I just kinda wish they would've done something cooler. Even in Skyrim she was fairly bare bones, since she was just a milky-white Nord with a dress that tickled most peoples' sense of arousal.

    Hopefully, this is just an oversight and is due for an update, because ZOS have a bloody talent for improving the visual appearances of the Daedric Princes. Look at Molag Bal and Mephala as the biggest examples, so damn vicious, distinct and powerful in appareal. Its honestly a bit of a riddle how plain and boring Nocturnal appears.

    EDIT: Also.. is it just me, or did they change Nocturnals voice from Clockwork? In the last encounter, she sounded so sinister and elusive, the creeping darkness that surrounded us. But in Summerset its... nothing of the sort =/

    That was the terrorplotwist of the century. I didn't expect Nocturnal to be behind everything. I don't understand why she has such a strange voice in ESO and how she is so evil and dominant. She was always considered one of the better Daedra who seek no harm. So all of this came as a big surprise and shock.

    Tbh she was more of mysterious never good nor evil, but personally I liked that she has this side too, and tbh not really much expected it, mostly because Mephala and Vile are more keen on betrayal then she is

    also looks wise
    Even Veya's final form looks better and menacing then Nocturnal 0W1uVmD.png

    Mephala more impressive? Arguably yes.

    You chose the wrong word there. I'm not very attracted to bugged out eyes and scaly crusty-webbed skin and spider legs out the back.

    Nocturnal certainly needs some visual effects for her eyes, at the very least, sort of like how her hands glowed in the scene with the Ritemaster and banishing the other daedra from her realm.

    Edit:
    Also, Mephala has permanent RBF just like Dunmer.
