I like them but they are starting to feel overused as major antagonists. I want a major antagonist who wants to gain something through politics and intrigue.

i think you can use the Daedra in smaller plots, i mean for instance if you think of some of the mainline games they were small sidequests, in oblivion molag ball wanted you to off a single guy with a mace for lols, in morrowind Boethia just wanted a new shrine.

there usually small.

i tend to not like the *HUGE EPIC WORLD ENDING PLOTS* by nature of them being obvious and boring, like sherlock holmes said, the bigger the crme the more obvious the motive. thats why the majority of those mysteries were in fact random little mysteries, and not huge epic world ending plots.

i finished an Anime recently and the big overly complex main thrust of the plot actually seemed so big and complex because it was actually like 5 small plots that were all taking advantage of one another to do their own small thing, it was kind of clever and i would love to see an expansion deal with something more like that then yet another corrupt king plotting to aid in a daedric invasion that must be avoided and the king replaced by their reluctant child that must step up and take their place in a position of authority. . .
