Ashlanders, Imperial Cult, Daedra, Tribunal,

I think that the daedra are the less-powerful gods because they always require humans to do their bidding

Ashlanders: want to do anything as long as they survive

Imperial Cult: they don't want to do anything but convert everyone

Tribunal:

they are the false gods and the ordinators are weird

Actually the Daedra are the most powerful, they can activately work on things.

The Nine only work through people and rarely reveal to the person it is them helping, never directly....that was until oblivion,

but even then it require a big sacrifice to have akatosh appear.

but when do daedra influence anything when it's

A: not in their realm

B: not in an invading realm?

All the time. Any destruction or revolution in Tamriel is part of Dagon, any madness is a gift of Sheogorath, etc.

I'm going to spoiler text the following, as it relates to the tribunal's godly status. Really though, its been 8 years....

The tribunal being 'false' gods depends largely on what a god is. In the current timeline, ALMSIVI has always been divine thank to the retcon of the dragonbreak at their ascension. In the previous timeline, they were mortal. Does this make them any less godly than Talos, who is both a mortal emperor and a placeholder for Shezzar? What about Arkay, who himself was once a mortal man? The issue becomes even more convoluted when you consider that all mortals are the descendants of the et'ada (gods).

The other issue about what is/not a god, well that depends on who/what you are talking to. At least that was my overall impression the last time I played through Morrowind.

but when is a god a god? is someone incredibly powerful a god? or is a god something else?
