Skyrim vs Oblivion - The Daedric Prince Quests - Which are BETTER?

In our latest Elder Scrolls video we discuss a which game had better Daedric Quests, Skyrim or Oblivion?
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series and was released worldwide on November 11, 2011. The game's main story revolves around the player character and their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The videogame is set two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, and takes place in the fictional province of Skyrim.
At FudgeMuppet, we uncover the elder scrolls lore secrets that make this game so sensational, and also have many discussions regarding our thoughts on the various games. In this video we're going to be diving into the Daedric Princes and their quests in both Skyrim and Oblivion. I love Oblivion so much, perhaps more than Skyrim (depending on my mood), so I was quite surprised when I got as objective as possible and laid all the quests out on paper to decide which game was the winner! Be sure to let us know your favorite Daedric Prince Elder Scrolls quests in the comments!

Anyone else notice that Peryite is usually the "nicest" of the princes in his quests? In Oblivion, Peryite sends you to rescue a bunch of idiots who tried to summon him. In Skyrim he sends you to take out a former champion who turned cult leader. If it wasn't for the fact that he's the god of disease, he'd be downright saintly compared to the rest.

And even statues had a variety of image and size. It was a nice design touch and gave them a sense of diversity.

[@FaolanHart]

So I wrote down my thoughts before watching. But going to post this after watching. Azura - Honestly couldn't remember her quest in Oblivion. the black star in Skyrim is a much better quest than killing yet another vampire in Oblivion. Sk1 Boethiah - Oblivion without question. My favorite Daedric quest in the game & full of amazing loot. I also love Skyrim's but Oblivion wins here. Ob1 Clavicus Vile - Ovlivion. Best weapon in the game & a good fight. Barbas annoys me in Skyrim since I often go their early to do the Hircine quest. Ob2 Hermaeus Mora - Both quests are a pain but Skyrim edges out purely because of Septimus Signus & Mora's voice acting. Sk2 Hircine - Ah my favorite prince & the one most of my characters worship. ESO included. Skyrim. Much better than just killing a unicorn. Sk3 Malacath - Skyrim. Much more memorable & enjoyable than "THESE ARE MY OGRES"! Followed by a normal dungeon. Sk4 Mephala - Hard one. Both are great. But I think Skyrim's wins by just a hair due to how the blade works in Skyrim. Making it a perfect weapon for an evil Dragonborn. Sk5 Meridia - "A NEW HAND TUTCHES THE BEACON"! Oblivion. I've grown very tired of her in Skyrim. Ob3 Molag Bal - Oblivion by a mile. Breaking an honorable man is far more fitting than saving a cultist from one of the most common enemies in Skyrim. Ob4 Namira - Oblivion's always made me laugh. But Skyrim's is truly evil feeling & I love doing Wood Elf cambial runs. Sk6 Peryite - By the divines Skyrim. Oblivion's quest is one of my most hated in the game. So long & so boring. Sk7 Sanguine - Oblivion. Skyrim's one is funny first time but after that is just a chore. Ob5 Sheogorath - Oblivion. Skyrim's quest is just a big reference bundle to Oblivion & is quite repetitive after the first time. Oblivion's is very entertaining. Ob6 Vaermina - Kind of dislike both. But I'm going to give it to Oblivion purly because of that one area with a bunch of hanging corpses & void. Gave me nightmares for a week. Very memorable. Ob7 Which leaves us with Oblivion 7 & Skyrim 7......hu....well....

I also have given Oblivion Nocturnal if we were allowed to count her -The Thieves Guild of Skyrim is just awful... who sells their soul to a Daedra to be "allowed" to get their stuff back for them? Also why would a guild of thieves all give their money to someone else to hold onto and not bother to check on it for TWENTY FIVE YEARS?! AND WHY WOULD SAY PERSON HANG AROUND?!

Tighter questing, more “alive” npc's, more fluid leveling systems and combat mechanics. This video was a great reminder that nostalgia can make things way better than reality.

Nostalgia has jack shit to do with this,the older games ARE BETTER, and the fact that everyone now days say that the only right way to play skyrim is with mods, and normaly most of the recommended mods are just adding back mechanics from the older games that skyrim stripped down to become more "casual friendly" also speaks volumes that skyrim popularity from back then was because it was the new shinyiest toy of the moment, just like today its because this game has been relaunched for every single eletronic imaginable and because the mod authors managed to keep the game alive by essentisly morphing it into a entirely mew game.

There was a DLC for Mehrunes Razor in Oblivion, I actually remember liking it, a secret army and a big ass cave easily took me 30-60 minutes first time through

[@megaton.settler]

Fantastic video, fantastic list! This turned out to be a very interesting and great listen while I was driving at work. A really cool oblivion versus Skyrim video to make, would be class or role-play play style. I’m very confident oblivion would win this one as you could create your own class and so on. But I think this would be an interesting one to do

[@obijuanquenobi1911]

[@thomasrosendahl2783]

Oblivion is the best elder scrolls game, because there are still rpg elements compared to Skyrim where it does not matter which race or gender you choose. Many roleplaying elder scrolls fans dont like the fact that in Skyrim you can become the best warrior in the companions and archmage at the college of winterhold. The only downside is if you become bored of the same class and skills, you cant make the switch with perks to change it like in Skyrim.

[@obijuanquenobi1911]

@@thomasrosendahl2783 Well, you can become the best in the fighters guild and mages guild but difference is that their progression is better than Skyrim’s and it’s much harder depending on the classes and stuff you choose. Also, I like how you didn’t compare Oblivion to Morrowind

[@Dinosaurman34]

I found Boethiah quite surprising after originally playing Skyrim like 20 times then remembering I owned Oblivion from 10 years ago. In Oblivion she’s presents herself as a male Daedric prince but in Skyrim he presents himself as a female Daedric prince. Clavicus Vile is also interesting as he’s more of a mischievous kid in oblivion and a deceitful adult in Skyrim. Really helps to show that he’s he daedra can appear in whatever form they feel like or whatever their devoted have chosen and created a shrine in likeness to.

[@jarrydharris1016]

FIRST COMMENT!! Shoutout to you guys!!! Love your channel and you guys are THE elder scrolls channel!!! Much love keep up the great work!!

[@Byggarebob]

I agree that the daedric quests in themselves might way in the favor of Skyrim however I very much preferred the daedric shrines in oblivion. I enjoyed the concept of seeking them out to pledge allegiance to the daedric princes rather than starting a quest and halfway realising that my character was on their way to now dabble with the daedra. Interacting with other followers of the daedric princes without having to murder them was also something that I think gave the daedra a more interesting position in the world. In Skyrim most deadric gods do not have any followers or have their followers only to betray them.

[@evintyde]

I always found it kind of boring tho. I quite liked stumbling upon a daedric quest without realising it cus it felt like how the prince's would act with people in the elder scrolls world. That's just me tho

[@codycollinson1862]

The deadra in skyrim just felt like more of a force in the world; like they were lurking around every corner, influencing the world. Kind of reminds me of the stories of the princes you find in books. Maybe their influence has grown since the oblivion crisis? Maybe Mancar was more successful than we think..

[@Nova-jw6ju]

This makes me want to see a ranking of the daedric princes by hotness. Not just visually though. They also need a good personality, like Sanguine, the life of the party, or Malacath, who lifts you up when you fall down (albeit a but aggressively).

i think you missed my favourite part of malacath's quest in oblivion here because after you beat the quest you can go back to the farm and see the ogres rose up against the farm owner and enslaved him which is funny although i didn't know ogres could demonstrate such agency and would have expected them to just murder the farm owner

[@Phantasm57]

Can you compare morrowind daedric quests to oblivion and or skyrim next? I think it would be cool to have a three way face off and then see which one comes on top overall

[@QuantumLeapCosplay]

I think both games have their pros and cons. The quests themselves are more creative in Oblivion, but the way you discover the quests are more interesting in Skyrim since they all seem to be out of natural consequence as opposed to visiting a shrine.

[@stygianoatman]

Watching these videos about Oblivion, I'm surprised by just how much quests I missed in it. God I love Oblivion so much.

[@DagothDaddy]

I did enjoy how many of the Daedric quests in skyrim weren't obviously Daedric quests at the start. Yes Meridia and Azura where pretty damn obvious but Molag Bal,Namira and Sanguinies to name a few where not revealed till later with the last one not being revealed till the end of the quest

[@ByrgenworthGraduate]

I like both games...oblivion had a better quests when it comes to the guilds but i knew skyrim was going to win when it came to deadric quests

[@dude_0456]

Might I put in a request for a lore video? I'd love more information on the cosmology of the universe. I know the sun and stars are holes in Aurbis. I know the moons and planets are the gods. I imagine that the Daedric realms might also be moon/planetoids? How do the seasons work? Is it how close Nirn is to Magnus...or?

[@branovices]

I agree with the final score, but I'd switch the verdicts for Sheogorath and Vaermina.

Morrowind had the best Daedric quests, they were so obscure and actually forced you to really figure out how to solve all the puzzles (unless you used an online guide or something similar)

[@unthoughtwords]

The Daedric quests are really the only major area where Skyrim clearly outstrips Oblivion imo. You touched on this at the end, but the fact that they felt like organic quests seeded into the world - sometimes engulfing you before you even knew there was a major quest involved - made a huge difference. Oblivion's (and I say this as another person for whom Oblivion is my first and greatest TES love) were very formulaic in how they came to you - you went to a place, provided an offering, did a thing, and came back to the place, it was like an in-universe giant "QUEST HERE" floating exclamation point.

[@omanjackson17]

I do believe Skyrim had the best voice actors or actresses than Oblivion hands down. Meridia you cannot get it out of your head. I wish Skyrim did more with Molag Bal because he was my favorite voice actor.
