Gods And Worship

There are many Gods worshiped throughout Skyrim, and they go by many names. Some are benevolent, and some less so. Some represent order and stasis; others, chaos and change. Aedra and Daedra, Aetherius and Oblivion...these are matters us mortals can only scarcely comprehend, bringing ruin to the unwary...and greatness to a lucky few.

In vanilla Skyrim, there is very little sense that the Aedra and Daedra have any impact on the world or their followers, outside of specific quests. Players who want to roleplay as a paladin or priest largely have to rely on their imagination. Shrines are only useful for getting small temporary bonuses and curing diseases, and Arkay will still bless you even if you are a cannibalistic necromancer. In short, there is no immersion to worship in Skyrim.

With Gods and Worship, the Divines and Daedra have a much greater presence in skyrim, and worshiping them devoutly leads to real rewards for the player.

All Divines and Daedra have unique personalities, and the player can win or lose favor with them in a variety of ways. Praying at shrines, completing certain quests, stealing or committing murder, etc, are all actions which affect how much the 9 Divines and 16 Daedra like you, either positively or negatively. As you gain affinity with a god, you are blessed with new abilities, powers, and ethereal guardians. When your affinity is high enough, you will be sent on a pilgrimage quest, and even be able to establish your own temple to your god and recruit acolytes as followers.

In short, Gods and Worship (GnW) is a large overhaul of religion in Skyrim - one which sits quietly in the background, waiting for you to discover its secrets, and allowing you to immerse yourself as deeply or shallowly as you wish in its roleplaying experience. Casually toss an offering or two at temple shrines to gain their boons, explore the wilds looking for hidden holy sites, join one of Skyrim's established temples as a novice acolyte, or blaze your own path towards becoming High Priest and found a new temple of your own. It's all up to you.
