#ELDER SCROLLS MEHRUNES DAGON FULL#

While Bethesda hasnвЂ™t always realized those influences to their full potential, Zenimax now has the opportunity to explore a far more complicated picture of the prince without compromising his destructive nature. Mehrunes Dagon draws influence from some of the most interesting depictions of Satan in literature. ItвЂ™s already been revealed that the Longhouse Emperors made a pact with Dagon to rule Tamriel in his image, but the players themselves could also stand to have a far more personal relationship with the Daedric Prince in ESO than they were able to in The Elder Scrolls 4. If players receive the same visions as the elf in the new expansions trailer or get time to interact with Dagon in his plane of Oblivion, players could also get a more complicated idea of Mehrunes DagonвЂ™s motivations and how he sells himself to his cultists. There are very few direct interactions with him in the entire game, with players mostly facing town his minions as they race into Oblivion itself to close his portals to Tamriel. Mehrunes Dagon only appears in-person at the very end of The Elder Scrolls 4, where he appears as a giant attacking the White Gold Tower in the center of the Imperial City. Even if it turns out that they are unprepared for the destruction Mehrunes Dagon could also bring, this would at least also highlight a negative aspect of the Empire, which when compared to a being as classically devilish as Dagon could risk presenting a very black and white conflict. Those who are attempting to aid the Daedric Prince this time around could be doing so because theyвЂ™re suffering under Imperial rule, and want to bring about the exact kind of revolutionary change that Mehrunes Dagon embodies. The beastfolk could add a level of complexity to Gates of OblivionвЂ™s portrayal of Mehrunes Dagon that was lacking in The Elder Scrolls 4. In most places, they face prejudice, and even in their homelands, they feel the pressure of the ImperialsвЂ™ ambitions. In some places, they arenвЂ™t allowed to enter cities, instead being forced to work in travelling caravans or at the docks. The beastfolk of The Elder Scrolls have always been among the EmpireвЂ™s most oppressed citizens. It borders the lands inhabited by the beastfolk of the Elder Scrolls, the Khajiit in Elsweyr on its west side and the Argonians in Black Marsh to the east. Gates of Oblivion comes with a new zone for players to explore, Blackwood, aВ border region in the south of Cyrodiil.

Since Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric Prince of revolutions, ESO has a particular opportunity to tie him into another aspect of the new expansionвЂ™s story. However, there are plenty of ways which Zenimax Online StudiosВ could make Mehrunes Dagon more interesting. Unfortunately, Bethesda has rarely explored this side of Mehrunes Dagon, even when presenting the motivations of his mortal worshippers, the Mythic Dawn cult. In these ways, he resembles the more complicated picture of Satan presented in works like Paradise Lost, where the character is more of a failed revolutionary than a solely malevolent being. Mehrunes Dagon is also the Daderic Prince of revolution, change, ambition, and energy. Mehrunes Dagon isnвЂ™t just the Daedric Prince of Destruction, though that is certainly what heвЂ™s been most famous for on his various visits to Tamriel.

HeвЂ™s big, heвЂ™s red, heвЂ™s got horns on his head, he lives in a land of lakes of fire, and his motivations were never really expanded upon beyond the Daedric Prince embodying a certain kind of evil. Indeed, when it comes to aesthetics, Mehrunes Dagon is the closest The Elder Scrolls has to an archetypical Satan figure. The retail version of the game sees the player facing down Molag Bal, another Daedric Prince trying to invade Tamriel, only with a darker more gothic aesthetic than Mehrunes DagonвЂ™s typical fire and brimstone. This has some fans concerned that the MMORPG will be retreading ground, as the Daedric Prince has already been seen opening portals into Tamriel that were eventually stopped by the Hero of Kvatch and the last in the Septim bloodline, Martin Septim, who sacrificed himself to merge with Akatosh and defeat Mehrunes Dagon.Д®ven the original premise of ESO had fans concerned about similarities to The Elder Scrolls 4. The trailer for ESO: Gates of Oblivion showed a wood elf receiving a chilling vision of Mehrunes Dagon, an omen of his return to Tamriel.
