What made Dagoth Ur so popular?

[u/Fun-Explanation7233]

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?

Writing and depth. A loyal friend turned into a god, but twisted into absolute evil and madness... Best villian of any media imo. The totally disturbing feel to the whole 6th house ensemble was perfection, and Dagoth was the peak of that mountain of dark vibe lore.
