I play with two mods.
One marks the player as 'essential', so you just stagger and fall over when you run out of health. When it's working correctly, you open your inventory and take a health potion and you stand back up. However, due to a bug, you go through the animation and just stand right back up.
The other mod lets you kill children. Yes, I'm a horrible person.

Really?

I have heard little qualms about killing children in DF on these forums.
And you say you are terrible for doing the same thing in Skyrim?

Killing children in DF is okay because you aren't personally taking a knife and slitting their throat.
And Skyrim has 'realistic' graphics.

Yea, saying "WELL YOU CAN DO IT IN DF" is a little bit of an odd argument because it takes quite a stretch of the imagination to even picture the little smiley faces as children, let alone picture them being killed.

Any of you toying with any interesting mods?
These three make things good, One Makes the UI of the Inv much better to handle without going insane. The other increases the FPS and such. and the last Expands the game so much that its amazing that he has done so without CK, It melds nearly 50% of the best mods into it as well so your getting like 20 mods in one pack which he (With the original makers permission) has editted to make it fit well with the other mods so that you don't have something so broken...

Unsure:
Azura - I have never talked to her ever. I chose the Black Star.
Malacath - Never did quest yet.
Azura is mostly good, at least so far as she respects and helps those who are on her good side. Choosing the Black Star is an evil act, and would spite her, but with that quest personally I chose good over being a dick to a daedra for the sake of hating daedra.
Malacath is good in my book, he's the god of the orcs, generally being about things like Honour and Revenge. Kind of like a Daedra of Justice.
You also left out Molag Bal, who is pretty bad, being the prince of domination, but in some ways could be considered a good guy if you like the whole abusing the weak for being weak thing.
Personally the only Daedra I associated with were Azura and Sheogorath(Because you can't back out of his quest once you realize it). I might have bargained with Malacath if I ever ran into his quest though.

Hey, I didn't pick the Black Star to be a dick, I picked it because I think being able to use black souls is very useful since they will always be Grand and there's a lot of humanoids around. If she gave the star that ability, I would have been all over being a nice guy.

As it stands, I prefer the usefulness over being nice in this rare occasion.

You also left out Molag Bal,
I also left out Vaermina. I'm... not sure why I forgot them.

I, personally, consider Molag Bal's quest reasonable revenge. I'm not sure how evil he is himself, but I'm imagining pretty bad.

Vaermina... I'm not sure.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

In Oblivion, he instructs you to goad a pacifist into beating you to death.

That pacifist was clearly not a pacifist then.

my personal fav here is by all:
Sheogorath.
man how i love this guy and how it sadden me that theres no way of confronting him again after the quest :(
he is not good or evil. he seems to be "above" these two. which makes him propably the most "human-like" Deadra prince. he reminds me of Crazy Hatter from Alice in Wonderland mixed wih Monthy Python sense of humor.
To me he also has the best and most charismatic voice acting. I mean, i really can "feel" his personality.

now i have to wait for a mod that makes him a companion rotfl :D

I was getting the impression from the way he was speaking and acting that he was actually getting bored with being Sheogorath, and wishing for a way out.

Sheogorath was hilarious and likeable in Shivering Isles, so he's basically already an 'old favorite' by this point.

I also liked Sanguine, he was far more memorable in Skyrim than the previous games.

Despite having played Morrowind, I can't say I have such an attachment to Azura. Goes to show what it looks like when careful presentation and good (expensive probably too) voice acting are used.

I've sunk almost 36 hours into Skyrim since I got it on christmas.
I have never encountered anything Daedra related.
I see this as a good thing, because Oblivion forced you to interact with them if you wanted to advance the plot any.
