Did You Know: Mehrunes Dagon and Nocturnal are rumored to hate each other? The exact nature of their beef with each other is unknown at this time, beyond its purported existence.

After the success of my "most disliked popular character in TES", I think I want to do another poll but this time with TES installments. So... I ask you today, which The Elder Scrolls game do you dislike the most? (I am not including any phone exclusive one (Travels, Blades, Castles) because those are way too niche)

[actual-skyrim-quotes]

There IS a right answer, and I WILL judge you on your answer.

I've been on an Elder Scrolls binge lately, I'm literally doing like 9 concurrent playthroughs across 6 games and idk what kind of virus I got where I'm this adhd/autistic about a series that won't get a sequel for another decade (and will likely be mid as hell if Starfield is anything to go by)

Daedric is one of the more dangerous languages to speak

It's not dangerous in the same sense as Dovahzul were you can kill a man by screaming at him in the dragon tongue

No Daedric is much more dangerous in the sense of its corrupting

When Daedric is spoken it can cause physical damage and exhaustion to those who hear it and those who speak it it can also corrupt the mind of those who hear or speak it a once noble and pure paladin who seemed incorruptible could become a wicked and cruel warlord if they hear or speak Daedric

Daedric can also affect the surrounding area if it is spoken it can cause plants and animals around to die and cause the sky to go dark with storm clouds

Those that are more strong willed can resist the corrupting nature of the Daedric language but it can still cause them physical harm and exhaustion

Those that have already been corrupted by Daedra aren't affected by the harmful effects of the Daedric language due to the fact they have already been corrupted by Daedra this includes Daedra worshippers, vampires, werewolves, and those who are sick due to Peryite

Races like Dunmer, orcs and Khajiits are also immune to the effects of the Daedric language due to their connections with The Tribunal and The House of Troubles for Dunmer, Azura for Khajiit and Malacath for orcs

This is inspired by Black Speech from LOTR

"What? Why talk? What talk? Hates talk!"

--Clannfears complaining if you try to talk to them in Battlespire. Their hatred of conversation is seemingly so strong that they have refused to say a word outside of this game.

Is there a feature of the game An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire you especially like? Which one, and why?

[actual-skyrim-quotes]

Anon asked if I could make this poll, so here we go! Very good poll, Anon, I'm glad to post it!

I recommend looking up what each game was about (or would have been about) before voting!

I mostly kept to what Anon wanted as the options, but I added the last two myself (with anon's permission) because it felt fitting considering the other games listed

For those who don't know, Eye of Argonia and Paradise Sugar were the canceled sequels to Redguard. They would have had Cyrus go on quests in Black Marsh and Elsweyr, respectively.
