(Although I'm sure some or all of the cultures in question think that THEIR version is right and everyone else is an idiot.) Who the player character can be the reincarnation of in Oblivion if you have the Knights DLC.įor the most part, the 'different gods' are generally seen/shown to be various aspects/cultural perceptions of more or less the same gods, I think - although there are some which haven't been included in the Official Imperial Pantheon (TM).įor example, Akatosh (Nord/Cyrod/Breton), Alkosh (Khajiit), Auri-El (Altmer/Snow Elf/Bosmer) and Ruptga (Redguard) are all considered to be the same essential being, viewed through different cultures' experiences/beliefs. The only one to win a staring contest with him is a gay robocop from the distant future. Akatosh is a bit mentally unstable, which is why things like Dragonbreaks happen and Emperors become Gods.Īkatosh is pretty much the most powerful of Aedra. well there's some debate as to whether Alduin is an aspect of Akatosh or if Alduin is a separate but related being, with some evidence pointing mostly towards the former. The Divines are basically Good Daedra, except they're kinda dead and you're mostly interacting with their ghosts while standing on/in their corpses - which is what qualifies them as Aedra instead.Īnyways, you meet various aspects of the Divines throughout Morrowind and potentially Oblivion. It's honestly no different with the Divines - prove your worthiness and they reward you.

The Daedra reward those who prove they deserve it. Originally posted by jimanity:The Divines offer promises.
