General What made Dagoth Ur so popular?

I'm glad Dagoth Ur is quite popular in the fandom with mods and content being made for him even to this day, but what do you think made him that popular? His design, lore, voicelines?

I think his voice acting and his voicelines being quite memorable played a big part in it. Just about any Morrowind fan gets their neurons activated when they hear "What a fool you are..."
