Top 10 Daedric Artifacts

Hail Citizens!

Welcome back everyone to the glorious Blog of randomness! I'm still in a bit of a video game kick, so figured I'd give Skyrim a whirl for today.

This one was rather easy to decide on. there aren't many things in the game that are particularly memorable. I've been recommended '10 sexiest khajits' which is bordering on Bestiality, and that's apparently frowned upon on the Internets.

Furries scare me, just saying.

I also got '10 worst lines of Dialogue' well, not that I'd not like to do that but there are thousands of lines of dialogue. and so many are bad. so I skipped it.

Instead I went the easier route of '10 Daedric Artifacts' I figure their a bit more definite and they each have their own strengths. and this intro is too long already.

TOP 10 DAEDRIC ARTIFACTS

10. Ebony Mail

Naturally i play a Thief or Assassin, so having a set of armor (albeit Heavy armor) that makes me quieter is a huge plus. I usually leave this one at home and go with the lighter armors from either the thieves guild or Dark brotherhood, but the Ebony mail's good against hard hitting enemies. the added poison effect is cute, but I don't get close enough for it to take effect.

9. Dawnbreaker

Dawnbreaker is a great Dungeoning tool. I usually only use it while scouring the depths of a dungeon, Easily killing draugr and skeletons. Basically that's all it's for. killing Undead. Now it also has the Flee effect on them, which is a pain at times. I want to kill them, and they run from me. Dammit!

8. Skeleton Key

This one is a must have for low level Lockpickers. It helps immensely up until you get the Unbreakable lockpick perk. once you have that theres really no reason to have this. not to mention you have to return it to finish the thieves guild.

7. Ebony Blade

This one's fun. I love the Vampiric effect of the blade. and having to kill allies to make it stronger is rather fun. (I'm a bit sadistic in this game) I love anything that Steals health, and this is pretty strong as well. only thing I don't like is the 2 handed style, I like having a support spell or second blade in the other hand instead of devoting both hands to a single sword.

6. Skull of Corruption

Yay Dream stealing! I love the mechanic of sneaking into a person's house and stealing dreams. I always feel like Freddy krueger. the actual spell it casts isn't all that powerful, but it splashes so it's rather fun to to use. It's a fun artifact to use, mostly because of the dream thief mechanic.

5. Ring of Namira

Mmm cannibalism! I always got the cannibalism perk in Fallout, so I liked having it in skyrim. The Ring of Namira let me chow down on people for life. and we all know how much i like life. only wish it didn't take up my only ring slot. I mean, I have 10 fingers why can't I have 10 rings?

4. Oghma Infinium

Insta-points, win!

3. The Black Star or Azura's Star 

I always take the black star. Let's face it, i kill lots of humans, with Azura's star you can only trap creature's souls. with the black star you can trap human souls. sounds like a win to me! 

2. Mehrunes' Razor

I'd go into how this was the only one I wasn't able to get in my 360 playthrough. and how I had every achievement except the daedric artifacts, because I wasn't able to get this. how the guy who was supposed to give me the quest was killed by a dragon, how he died when i was level 10. how I rage quit skyrim for a year because of it. But I wont. It has a chance to insta-kill anything, including Dragons, or bears. because for some reason i can take down a dragon easy at any level, but a bear, oh shit.
