Just wondering how, or if Sheogorath will be potrayed,

Meh, probably the same way that he's been portrayed in every game: a well-dressed man with a cane and a goatee.

Daedric Princes can appear to mortals however they want.

Well Sheogorath is really irrelavent as he lives in his own realm. Jyggalag is the one who would be of more importance, as Sheogorath was really more of a curse.

The same.

I have a feeling that the official canon storyline will be. "The champion of cyrodill began getting involved in daedric worship, specifically Sheogorath". Other than that. He'll probably be the same.

Cheese for everyone!

Sheogorath will appear the same as he always has, and the Champion of Cyrodiil will fade into obscurity, as did those before him.

It would be crazy to have him look just like he did before, he's a whole new Sheogorath now. It would just be crazy.

OMG THAT'S IT! IT'S FREAKIN' CRAZY!

Or not, never can decide.

The player manteled Sheogorath. For all intents and purposes, the player BECAME Sheogorath.

So Sheogorath should appear the same.

I want crossbows and spears.

But that's crazy.

lol.

I always saw it as more of assuming a title; breaking a curse through esoteric magic formalities, sort of like Nocturnal's Cowl and the Elder Scroll. You put on the official hat, but you and the other guy are still the same as you were pre-hat-swap.

You're crazy. Wanna' know why?

Because you mantled Sheogorath! :ahhh:

I think the thing you're missing is that the version of him that has been around in all the previous games simply no longer exists.



If there will still be a Sheogorath, it will be the Champion of Cyrodil... Which we're unlikely to see... But it could be possible for him to have transformed into a Daedric Prince. After all, Aedra have been known to be turned into Daedra, and at least in the case of Talos, exceptional mortals can turn into Aedra.

But it is entirely possible that there will be no Sheogorath at all, that after a mortal took up the mantle, that the power will fade, or that the other Daedric princes will strike out against this upstart, which has just been handed his own realm of oblivion.

I think the player just went insane and never actually became Sheogorath. Maybe they'll say something about the champion going insane after a trip to Sheogorath's realm. Probably though it won't get much of a mention.

If Sheogorath does in fact appear in TES:V (which he undoubtedly will) he will appear very much the same, despite having been mantled by the Champion of Cyrodil. Mortals will be none the wiser, and I'm assuming that the Mad God would keep up his original (or rather, his usual) appearance to keep it that way.



In the case that the COC did indeed take up the mantle while remaining mortal, then Sheogorath will be no more (unless perhaps the COC lets another mortal take his place?). As for the Daedric Princes striking out against Sheogorath, I highly doubt it. Who knows, maybe the Princes will appreciate there being Order as well as Madness.
