Daedric Shrines in Hammerfell

Tamriel Treasurer · Post by **Tamriel Treasurer** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 1:48 am

All of the Daedric princes have shrines in Cyrodiil, but of course there should be some in Hammerfell, right? In other words, I think it would be a good idea if TR spreaded some Daedric shrines throughout Hammerfell, and possibly even with alternative quests to the ones in Cyrodiil, and new rewards. Even if the player had already completed all of the ones in Cyrodiil, they could still do the quests in Hammerfell, because they are different. But not all shrines could have quests. Some could just be in Hammerfell as something to pass by.

Here are some shrines that I think could have a role:

SHRINE...REWARD

Sheogorath...Spear of Bitter Mercy
Malacath...Scourge
Nocturnal...Bow of Shadows/Wings of the Queen of Bats
Clavicus Vile...Bitter Cup
Boethia...Fearstruck(?)
Hircine...Spear of the Hunter

I ruled out Mehrunes Dagon because he is the main enemy in Oblivion. Otherwise I would have put him down with the Daedric Crescent Blade.
Anyway, If no quests, maybe some artifacts could be found in dungeons and what not, if TR plans to make some of the Tamrielic artifacts.

I think that this would be a great addition to Hammerfell. I mean, why would all the shrines only be in Cyrodiil?

we decided against daedric shrines in HF a while back, mostly due to technical reasons:

-all daedra are covered in Oblivion
-matching VA for deadra would be nearly impossible = ruined immersion
-we want to focus first and foremost on redguard culture, in which deadra play a very small part.

the player will be able to interact with Yoku gods instead of daedra. relevant discussions on this topic are [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=16834]here[/url] and [url=http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/old_forum/viewtopic.php?t=16580]here[/url].

It's a bit inconsistent with the other two provinces that I have played, both of which had plenty of daedra shrines. Nevertheless, it's better to save space for all of the fresh, exciting content TR will cook up over the next decade.

Hammerfell, however, will need Ius statues.

he is a subset of Zeht. Besides, Ted Peterson regretted that it was even added to the game.

hello im new here^^( and sorry for my bad english)

but int it possible that there are destroyed deadra shrines in hammerfall? shrines that got smoked out hundred years ago, maybe with a few destroyed satues of the daedra? just me thinking^^

We reached a consensus on this a long time ago. There is no lore supporting daedric shrines a la Morrowind in Hammerfell, and they already did the daedric quests in Cyrodil, so no daedric shrines in Hammerfell. Instead we'll be focusing on the Yoku who are unique to the province.

Please note the age of the thread you're posting in too.

ruins are possible, as are actual shrines. it comes down to scale and gameplay: we dont have enough place in hammerfell to add everything that plausibly exists. we have to focus on the features that really make hammerfell unique - such as yoku gods.

P.S. anyone know why safari suddenly stoped checking my spelling?
P.P.S. Sideways Cave in Cyrodiil is cool

I don't know why Safari stopped checking your spelling, but I do hope it starts working again.
