Sheogoraths shrine quest in Skyrim : V

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:28 am

Sheogorath is bound to have a shrine somewhere, and that means a quest. but your character became him in Oblivion.So i was wondering who they'ed use for his voice and what the quest would be like. Whats you opinon?

Hopefully the old Sheogoraths voice

This is one of the things I've wondered since completing the SI questline. My assumption is that, over time, your Oblivion character assumed the role of Sheogorath permanently. He or she handled Daedric magicka for an extended period of time, got corrupted, went mad, inherited Daedric power, and became Sheogorath as he was before (or at least in a way that is indistinguishable to mortals, not LITERALLY becoming a Daedric Prince.)

they could easily explain it through the use of haskil's voice. meaning either our oblivion character is gone, dead, not the god anymore, or just busy and therefore needs haskil to represent them.

The person outside the shrine will give you some trivia questions: Is Sheogorath a boy or a girl? What race does Sheogorath represent himself as?

The all the answers will be correct. The game will change his voiced based on the answers.

Yup, mantling. I'd be disappointed if Sheogorath was anything than Sheogorath.

Pretty much that. Given how the Champion of Cyrodiil seems to be an Imperial male in canon, this is what happened.

Sheogorath is pleased.

....... wouldn't matter if you didnt have the shivering isles pack?

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:30 am

I guess it has been like 200 years or some such, so I guess it wouldn't be far-fetched to assume that the character from Oblivion became Sheogorath fully, maybe after physical death they returned to the isles, or maybe, like before, the mantle was passed on to someone else. A new god. Here's an interesting question actually, will they take this into account and change the voice, or will the voice of Sheogorath be a female this time? They might mix it up.

I lol'd so hard at that picture. I just had the echo of him saying, "I'm so happy I might just tear out your intestines and strangle you with them"
or "Jyggalag! He is the Prince of Order. Or biscuits...no, no, Order! And not in a good way. Bleak. Colorless. Dead. Boring, boring, BORING! And not a fan of my work, I can tell you. Hates it, hates me. You've seen his knights. Not the warm and cuddly sort." Lololololol

Is it canon that the CoC became Sheogorath?

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:02 pm

your person will either become the madgod or another one is grown, thats my guess at least

They'll make a model for Sheogorath if he appears, and pick some voice actor for his voice, just like they've done for every game he appears in.

More to the point, what they won't do: They won't scan your saves for your character's appearance and model from Shivering Isles and use that. I'd bet on it.

:shrug:

Boy did I hate Sheogorath, nor did I much care for SI in general though. Such bad writing.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 6:07 pm

Pretty much that. Given how the Champion of Cyrodiil seems to be an Imperial male in canon, this is what happened.

"Canon" doesnt work that way in Elder Scrolls. It never has. The series went to such lengths to NOT do what you imply, that in Daggerfall all endings are "canon", which is the event known as the Warp in the West.

Therefore, theres no "canon" where the Champion of Cyrodiil was a "male Imperial".

It's canon that someone became Sheogorath. I'm not sure if lore states that it is also the Champion of Cyrodiil, so someone correct me on that.

Really? :sadvaultboy:

So technically that would mean Nerevar incarnate was a Dunmer?

This what I had always assumed.

But the mainquest stories are better designed around some characters than others...Morrowind suited a Dark Elf, Oblivion suited an Imperial Warrior and Skyrim looks especially suited to a Nordic Beowulf type warrior.

Neither of those things are true, though the Nerevarine is called "he." That could very well be due to the fact that a female player character in Morrowind kept her identity of Nerevarine secret from the general public so that she would not be persecuted, and since the title "Nerevarine" holds much more meaning than any name, historians tend to leave out any mention of gender, and later the masculine "he" is used as the Nerevarine's pronoun.

That's at least the excuse I use for my character.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:33 am

Maybe he just won't have a shrine or quest. I've had my Sheogorath fill, to be honest.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 2:01 am

Your character in Skyrim isn't the CoC, aka new Sheogorath.

I agree with having my Sheogorath fill, but if the other Daedric Princes have shrine quests and he doesn't then we'd better have a good explanation as to why that is.

Your character in Skyrim isn't the CoC, aka new Sheogorath.

I don't think anyone said that, did that? Because yeah, Skyrim is over 200 years after the events of Oblivion, all men and beasts should be dead by then, and only a few mer would still be around.

It would be interesting to see http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Jyggalag instead.
