How do you activate a shrine?

[Confused_Cossack]

I know there are specific things at specific times you're supposed. However, I have seen very little of what is actually supposed to be done. Both in game and online.

Which shrine do you mean? If you mean shrine in temple, you just activate it by pressing E and then donating. If you mean Daedra statues, not all statues can be interacted with.

Or whichever key you use to activate things with.

I think that originally it's space, but I changed it to E in options (forgot how the key is called).

I don't think those are meant to be activated. The text probably only appears to show you which daedra statue you are looking at.

Only certain daedra statues can be activated. Which one are you trying?

Some are specifically quest related, as in you activate them for the purpose of a quest later in the quest.

The actual daedra quest shrines will talk to you when you activate them and give you a quest, but there's only a handful of those, and they're usually in obscure /dangerous places.
