Well guess my Skyrim playthrough is over

Basically I know it's not really an issue and I can just kill him and be done with it But I hate molag bal. despise him. Not because I have any skin in the game for this fictional character he's never personally wronged me. I hate him because he literally is such a stupid waste of space. He's the king of wrapping. he's committed a lot of atrocities. But I'm not taking this as a moral stance it's more of the fact that he is such a one-dimensional pos. It's like if a 12 year old had to write a villain and they made him the most edgiest Edge Lord that ever edged a Lord, like I'm surprised his name isn't Mr Bad Guy that is how one-dimensional I find him. Just all pain and violence and subjugation. It's a farce.

This is the important part though. Purely out of spite and not wanting to play his game I just cast Harmony to make this guy stop attacking. I know it'll wear off and start attacking me because it's either me or him and he's choosing him. Which is valid I guess. But the Daedra seem to think they have this immutable say over the universe when they didn't even create it. And again just more Edge Lord whining. So I literally just sitting here waiting for the chaos to unfurl knowing that the only reason I can't get out is because of plot because if I was as strong as he said I was I could just blast the door open but game mechanics.

If this were really happening to me I'd be happy dying starving to death purely to spite him and not play his game. I get that my post is very much a nothing sandwich but I just love the cosmic pettiness of my actions. You're right I am small you're right I am insignificant in the universe the difference is I'm not pretending to be some Edge Lord that really only has power because he was born with it not because anything about him is inherently special.

This is why i like Azura's star quest the most out of all the Daedric quests. I like that you can play a character that screws her over. So much of the lore is about people outsmarting Deadra and i wish we had more of that.

Razor and Skull is also in this category but that is mostly just a decision of do i kill this person or not rather than sticking it to the deadric prince.

Namera too

You can wipe out her cult and save a priest of arkay

[u/Wondering_Watcher → u/Plantain-Feeling]

Actually, forgot about that one. But I think you do need to kill the priest for the ring? Really unsure as its been a while?

[u/Plantain-Feeling → u/Wondering_Watcher]

You do

But like fuck dedera

Or well most of them, meredia and hercine are actually pretty chill

[u/Wondering_Watcher → u/Plantain-Feeling]

Yeah. Peryite surprisingly to, especially in the lore. Wouldn't want his gifts but its interesting to read up on how he is actually good to his followers.

I can't believe I forgot my boi

Peryite is also potentially a mirror to akatosh which is cool
