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

[@publiusdraco2557]

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.

You know what might've made Skyrim's Vaermina quest even cooler? Actually experiencing the nightmare problem yourself if you slept in Dawnstar's inn. Maybe it takes you to a small pocket of Quagmire to be tormented by high-level daedra, and when you die, you wake up.

It changes depending on where you are in the quest around the middle sheogorath acts somewhat more kindly to you sorta hard to tell with sheogorath And if you do it right before sheogorath becomes jyggalag it's more melancholic for sheogorath anyways "Good work.

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 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.

[@irishbateman4320]

For The Cursed Tribe quest, I remember on one playthrough Yamarz actually ended up defeating the giant, much to my surprise. I don’t think Bethesda anticipated this happening so he just talked to me as if I killed the giant and I still had to kill him. I think it would’ve been cool if there was an alternate route where Yamarz actually wins and is recognized by Malacath, and so you don’t get Volendrung but instead get a gold reward from him and get named as Blood-kin.

[@charmedrools1]

Dagon actually did have a daedric prince quest in oblivion, it was just DLC. It was this huge endurance run dungeon. It had a fast respawn timer so if you left partway through itd respawn and it was really long with some tough fights along the way and a pretty mean final boss fight at the end, eventually being rewarded by choosing to eat the still beating heart of dagons current champion to claim the razor or defy dagon and just steal the razor.

[@mesektet5776]

I'd actually give Oblivion Namria and Sanguine over Skyrim's versions. The twisting nightmare world of Namira's realm corrupting the tower is truly unique and requires more innovation. And as for Sanguine, I mean aside from the spectacle of it - Countess Alessia Caro being rendered naked in-front of party guests is a reward unto itself - especially if you have sneaked around the castle before and know what she's like behind closed doors. 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?! So yeah, aside from the fact Noctural in Oblivion actually has you act like a thief instead of a dungeon raider, not getting the pretzel logic of that stupid quest line is it's own reward.

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.

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

6:26 hermaeus mora is infact a crab tentacle thing that evolved into eye tentacles. since daggerfall he was crab tentacle thing there is also a statue of that form somewhere in solstheim iirc.

[@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.

[@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).

[@franciosdauteuil4626]

This was a very cool video, great job mates. I always felt Skyrim did daedric quests better overall over Oblivion, tho Oblivion’s rewards felt more powerful and unique.

[@windebiesteultima3317]

Oblivions wins by a country mile. The murder mystery house, the feeling of progression throughout it all from accepting jobs from different members, the purification, the dead drops getting switched, murdering a matriarch and killing her ENTIRE family. Man I loved that questline

[@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..

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

I mean oblivion had a whole questline revolving around sheogorath, its like comparing skyrim's harmaeus mora to oblivion's, or comparing morrowinds azura to Oblivion's, Try comparing oblivion's namira to skyrim's namira. Skyrim wins here by a mile.

[@efestus5]

[@Galimeer5]

[@lupe2645]

Shivering isles easily beats Dragonborn dlc

[@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.

[@MjollTheLioness-o4y]

I hope we get longer Daedric quests in the next game. I'd love it if they treated following the Daedric Princes like joining a faction. I wouldn't even mind it if following one Prince makes another reject or abandon you. I think that adds to replayability, especially if they make it possible to steal the Deadric item if you don't want to join them.

[@skjaldulfr]

I can't believe it, considering how old Oblivion is, and how many millions of hours I put into it, but I had to stop this for spoilers. I haven't done all the Oblivion deadric quests. That's the biggest reason I have to boot it up again.

@@RaidoactiveBoy millions is probably an exaggeration. But I've done many things multiple times. A number of massive playthroughs. Just not all the daedric quests.

[@JV-the-Tossh]

What sort of mods were used in the Skyrim footage? The people look very much more animated and unique.

[@Galimeer5]

Imagine if TES6 had entire questlines for Daedric artifacts instead of just single quests. Or even a single questline that pulls every daedric prince into the story and you have to choose one of them to side with, getting their artifact by the end.

[@darthbigred22]

I don't want that. One thing I appreciate about Skyrim was it had a really long playthrough. It was unrealistic in world that say you can be DB and TG while also be a Companion BUT it didn't make you make a new character for that either. There is part of me that really enjoys how confusing the Daedra and Aedra must have it when the Hero of Kvatch or Dragonborn die since almost everyone has a claim to him. But I'd rather have that than need to make a new character and slog through everything again just to get Azura's Star. Plus almost all the Daedra are evil so who reallly wants to quest that long for any of them? Now that said I wouldn't mind a flip side to every faction. Say I go Fighter's guild so that means no DB or TG but instead you exterminate them. You join the cult of the 9s or you pick a daedra but either way you attack the other members and defile their religious artifacts. My biggest bitch in Skyrim is smithing is so good most of the daedric artifacts are just that artifacts. They should scale up with the player so that when you get them you don't just stick them in a display case. That and a lot of them just suck anyways. Oh thanks for this mace i don't use because i don't use maces Molag.

[@RedHoodRubyRose]

The reason for difference between Oblivion ans Skyrim Sheogorath is that they are two different version of Prince of Madness, since Skyrim one is Hero of Kvatch. So it make more sense that his quest in Skyrim would be to help someone to be cured of madness rather than spread it like the other one did in Oblivion.

[@cjhott7237]

In the Crused Tribe Quest, I saved before sending him in and continuously reloaded the save trying to figure out why he kept dying then I gave up killed the giant then Yamarz attacked me. One hit KO and I’m back on my way to the Tribe.

[@Meanlucario]

I've played Skyrim, Morrowind, and a good chunk of Oblivion this year, and honestly, Skyrim's is the best in my opinion. I know that people are quick to complain about Skyrim's flaws, but it does great things like how it handles Daedric quests, trying to make them fit with their princess as much as possible, to the point of trying to be selective of who would have a shrine and who wouldn't, and where. I mean, lets be honest, Namira would loath to have a shrine on the surface for all to see, so it makes sense for Skyrim to have it hidden in a crypt.

[@zebfirehd9102]
