There is not a square yard of space that doesn't have something grisly in it. Part of it's the rotting, mutilated corpses (animal and human) littering the basement. Everything from the lighthouse keeper's reaction when you get the key to the moment you decide to leave that pit of Hell is horrifying. This is made even worse by the fact that this was done by your allies. What makes this so unsettling is that you actually knew the deceased. Granted, you've seen rotting corpses in the game plenty of times.

Mehrunes Dagon is (one of) the world's Daedric princes and the leader of said invading army.

And that's where you have to go to fight off an invading army. The resident zombies and corpses are always intensely disturbing. It's filled with demonic-looking beings, lava pits and a red sky that is deeply unsettling.

Beware oblivion is at hand
