Therefore its a moot arguement. you can say CHIM and Walking ways and any other word you would like but really your pulling on lore and in game material, its called "flavor text", untill anyone has actual stats with numbers, health points, spells, shouts, basically a charcater sheet for each of the "gods" this is all just speculation. So to one person it's Sheograth, for another its Talos, for some its Akatosh, for others its Allah. There is no right or wrong answer, its all just opinion.

But just to say this, if Talos was so great then why is his worship being attacked. Why not intervine during the great war. Obviously the Thalimor and Dominion are enemies of Talos so why not smite them? Or at least get involved in any way? He isn't one of the first Divines, he didn't give of himself to create the world so you cant use that excuse. If he still has all his power and is so strong, then why allow for his Empire to fall in the first place, why did Akatosh have to stop Mehunes and not Talos? Why does he allow for his followers to be hunted down and killed? I mean the Princes are around, they get involved they interact and if you anger them you will know it. The divines not so much but they often share visions and sometimes muster enough strength to send an avatar to get involved.

In my opinion, based on scientific theory I'd ahve to say Sithis is the most powerful being/force in the universe. As all things, even Gods, die. Entropy is the ultimate force in the universe, all things decay all things erode. Time is actually a measurement of entropy. Talos eventually died, and in time all of oblivion will also die and fade into nothing. Everything has an ending. Thus it is the power of endings that would be greatest as it affects the most. you can say CHIM and Walking ways and any other word you would like but really your pulling on lore and in game material,

The power to manipulate the entire universe makes everything else seem quite insignificant, don't you think?

C'mon man... really...

Stats and spells don't even show the player's true ability.

As said many times before on this wiki; Gameplay does not equal Lore

'But just to say this, if Talos was so great then why is his worship being attacked. Why not intervine during the great war. Obviously the Thalimor and Dominion are enemies of Talos so why not smite them? Or at least get involved in any way?'

Mine as well ask why Akatosh didn't just smite Alduin, why Azura didn't smite the Tribunal, why Hermaeus didn't smite Miraak, why the Daedra don't smite you when you defy them, or why Auri-El didn't smite the Marukhati Selective (and the list could go on)?

Your being ridiculous here man...

why did Akatosh have to stop Mehunes and not Talos?

Because it wasn't Akatosh... that was the Emperor-oversoul taking on the form of Akatosh.

'I mean the Princes are around, they get involved they interact and if you anger them you will know it. The divines not so much but they often share visions and sometimes muster enough strength to send an avatar to get involved. '

...and who's to say the Dovahkiin isn't an avatar of Talos?

"You don't remember me, Hjalti?"

'In my opinion, based on scientific theory I'd ahve to say Sithis is the most powerful being/force in the universe. As all things, even Gods, die.

If that is your reason why Sithis is the most powerful than I could easily just say that Anuiel is more powerful due to him being never changing.

If you are including trans-aurbical beings than Anu will always be the strongest as he is the Amaranth, the second dreamer (or you could say the dreamer is the most powerful).
