Boethiah is maybe even more evil than Molag Bal, if I have to go by their quests...

[Theoboldi]

To be honest I haven't done any Boethiah quests at all, and when I did this one I had no Idea who he even was. In retrospective, now I have no bad feelings at all about killing that dude twice.

[Grakelin]

One guy attacks you first, you're only acting in self defense.

Used the disarm shout and rigorous application of FOS RO DAH to keep him away while I looked for a way out. Ended up having to kill Tyranus just to get the door to unlock. Basically had to decide which of us was going to live and which was going to die because I had Tyranus so badly outclassed.

I guess I could have pummelled him with my fists, but the game doesn't accept unconciousness.

Sure the guy is daedric prince of deceit, conspiracy, secret plots of murder, assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority but I still choose him over Molag Bal. He is allied with Stendarr (one of the divines) and that's gotta count for something.

Probably the most "good" daedric prince is Azura, in my opinion.

Even 'she' doesn't give a shit about mortals really but yeah she does 'good' things more often than 'bad'.

[Leatra]

Copy-paste from uesp.net:

Azura is one of the few Daedra who maintains the appearance of being "good" by mortal standards, and presumably feels more concern for the well-being of her mortal subjects than other Daedric Princes, as evidenced in books such as Invocation of Azura. However, although she is never overtly deceitful, the way Azura always gets what she desires in the end, and how titanic events always follow her interventions, can be portrayed as disturbing.

Most daedric princes are evil but there are good ones too. My favorite is Sheogorath. He doesn't care about good and evil he's just having some fun!

Sanguine is cool too.

[forsaken1111]

I do like Sanguine, though he's a bit reckless.

and getting soulstones for free? Yes please!

I would not say it's for free..
Since it requires recharging?

Considering it gives me the soulstones with which I can recharge it I'd say they're for free.

Hmm.. It only does soultrap, you sure you are not carrying any empty soulstones around?

Just carry Azura's Star.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

Just carry Azura's Star.

This. Doubly so if you have the black star. That way, you beat up some bandits to get black soul gems, and refill the mace with ~1 soul.

Any of you toying with any interesting mods?

Makers Mark Ingots has no effect on gameplay whatsoever, but it stamps all the ingots in the world with some marks that make them a little less bland. It's not the most interesting mod, but it's the one that I'll most readily recommend just because it's so small and neat.

I'm still not trying any big mods yet.

My opinion on Daedric princes:

Good/benign Daedric princes:
Meridia - Rude but good intentions.
Sanguine - Nice fellow looking for fun.

Princes that are okay as long as you're on their good side:
Hircine - I'm uncertain about him. On one hand he hates rogue 'weres, on the other he doesn't forgive.
Nocturnal - I don't see anything bad about her, really. As long as you do your job.
Peryite - He doesn't seem actively evil besides the Pestilence thing. And he talks rather nicely.
Sheogorath - Fun fellow, but... Well, a little too chaotic at times. Still, he's not that bad, but I must leave him in this section because he is still dangerous.

Princes that are plain jerks:
Namira - Just plain disgusting, haven't done the quest yet but the quest doesn't sound very...
Mephala - She's kinda... err.
Mehrunes Dagon - Obvious.
Hermaeus Mora - Why did you kill the poor old man?
Clavicus Vile - Why you hate your dog so much. Plus, if it wasn't for Barbas, you likely would have smacked me.
Boethiah - Seriously? Killing someone who trusts me just to talk to you? No. Way.

Unsure:
Azura - I have never talked to her ever. I chose the Black Star.
Malacath - Never did quest yet.

Val's Crafting Meltdown. Unbalancing, especially with transmutes, yes, but it makes it worth it to carry as much crap as you can out of dungeons. Which I think is a good thing.

Souls to Perks: Potentially unbalancing IF you set the number of dragon souls needed low, otherwise I consider it not that unbalancing. It makes getting more dragon souls worth it after you've learned a lot of your shouts.

<.<
That's what I meant. Stupid language differences. But I am pretty sure that can be charged with soulgems, which I get from trapping souls. Am I interpreting something wrong here?

Edit: Oh... I just read how the soul trap thing works. Darn. Well, it's still a good weapon.

I view the princes like this

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Azura – She cares about those she makes pacts with and is okay to deal with as long as you don't try to betray her.  In lore terms, taking the black star is probably a bad idea given that she wiped out a province over being insulted 4000 years ago.

Boethiah – Depends on what you think of the current authority.  On one hand, he overcame Trinimac to lead the Velothi from Summerset and taught them the secrets of philosophy and magic.  On the other, dealing with him would probably leave you pretty paranoid, which goes far towards explaining Dunmer culture.

Clavicus Vile – He's the prince of pacts that you later regret.  Does anything more need to be said?

Hermaeus Mora – I don't see anything inherently wrong with him, although that's probably just due to lack of knowledge.

Hircine – Why become a beast and be hunted?

Jyggalag – Got his ass handed to him by the CoC and hasn't been seen since

Malacath – Depends on what you think of orcs

Mehrunes Dagon – Prideful and lacks subtlety and understanding.  He's easy to talk into a favorable pact

Mephala – Taught the Dunmer to evade their enemies and kill them with secret murder.  I wouldn't rely on her though, given her webspinner schtick.

Meridia – Has an inexplicable hatred of necromancy, and I'm disinclined to rely on her given how often her temples are successfully invaded by undead.

Molag Bal – Unless you're a golden hermaphrodite man-god I wouldn't go anywhere near him.  He did give Vivec the secret syllable of royalty, though.

Namira – Gives the beggar's gifts of disease and disregard.  Why would I want that?

Nocturnal – Not a bad prince for sneak-thieves, but she's obsolete compared to an open lock spell and an invisibility spell

Peryite – He's barely even a prince

Sanguine – You probably won't get anything useful out of the pact, but it'd be fun

Sheogorath – I would think that making pacts with him is like playing a hilarious version of Russian roulette.

Vaermina – No

I'd say that Azura and Mehrunes Dagon are the best bets for pacts.  Boethiah, Herma-Mora, Malacath, Mephala, Meridia, Nocturnal, and Peryite don't seem too bad, but I'd think it'd be highly situational and have a serious chance of coming back to haunt you.
