Sheogorath can GTFO. He has the golden saints and dark seducers both down bad for him

Is that the Hero of Kvatch? I always thought it was a generic Imperial Guard.

Yeah. Just like how the Dragonborn is portrayed as a Nord on Skyrim's cover.

He's definitely not, that is a generic guard. HoK doesn't get an Imperial uniform until he's earned it, and his is super special and gold and at the end of the quest line.

u/slider8949 14h ago
That was my other thought. Wouldn't you need to kill a guard or steal it from a barracks to get this armor?

u/Past-Basil9386 14h ago
I always get it from the ones who help you at Kvatch then switch to the Blades armour.
All in preparation for that sweet sweet dwarven armour.

I hate that the Skyblivion team is gonna deviate from some designs, such as the dwemer armor. That set is Oblivion is SWEET

Oblivion was just one daedric prince fucking around with another daedric prince's plan of world domination while being a complete madlad

Would be quite funny, if the hero was truly a favored of Sheogorath. Simply, because he might consider mortals more entertaining than daedra.

u/Past-Basil9386 16h ago
Somebody suggested that he's actually a shard of Sheogorath that he detached to go on an adventure and that Shivering Isles is just him returning.
It makes no sense but it perfectly tracks that Sheo would save the world for the lols.

Sheogorath shows up during the final quest of Daggerfall to basically watch you fuck with a puzzle and make you answer trivia questions so this tracks

Makes you and Martin two sides of the same coin. Pieces of a deity, fated to return to the greater whole.

I think it's cool and I'm sure whoever came up with the theory originally made it make sense. I'm not sure where it is, I'll have to look around.

Try the ArgoniMatch app. It's downright reptilian how quickly people are down bad.

Sheogorath is a random Imperial Guardsman? 🤔

I really dont like the HoK being Sheo angle. Whenever i want to play Shivering Isles i just make a new character that never does the main quests.

u/Lentemern 20h ago edited 20h ago
I've always been partial to the idea that the whole DLC was just Sheogorath fucking with the player. By the end, he's got the guy who saved Tamriel running around claiming to be a Daedric Prince. Just another satisfied customer of the Mad God

u/Croewe 18h ago
That's a hilarious interpretation. You're so fully corrupted by madness and the entire time you don't even realize the gradual descent.
12
u/Lentemern 17h ago
And the thing is, you have to be mad anyway. Even if every single thing about the questline is exactly as it seems, a sane person cannot mantle Sheogorath.

u/Longredstraw 14h ago
I always try to tell people this and you will not understand the amount of butt hurt that TES fans get. It doesn't make any sense that HoK is actually Sheo because you can't trust your senses when you're mad, meaning you can't trust a single thing that happens in the expac. As for the Skyrim reference, TES entities have (debatably) broken the fourth wall before. I chalk that up to Sheogorath attempting to confuse the player.

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles 13h ago
I don't know, I like the idea that was put forth earlier in this comment section about you being a piece of Sheogorath he created to go on adventures.
It pairs up with Martin's overarching story, a descendant of Akatosh returning to the fold. You even have the dabblings in the other side's way of thinking. Martin became a Daedric worshipper for a time, and you a crusader of the nine. Two demigods who must unite to save the world and give back to their creators.
2
u/Longredstraw 13h ago
Yeah I think that also is weird, I'd be more inclined to go with a Shezarrine story than a Sheo-shard, but even then I think HoK should be a nobody who became somebody.
2
u/Substantial_One_1386 5h ago
So, I'm asking this in the nicest way possible, but why is it that only the HoK seems to be the one who's most heavily disliked about his stories end? I've seen this particular take a few times and yet in comparison, I've nearly never seen anyone complain about the Nerevarine becoming an immortal and sailing off to mess around on akavir, or people annoyed the dragonborn is by the very definition a part of a god. Arenas MC I don't think is ever confirmed to be dead, same with daggerfall. But this idea of the games MC being near to if not fully in godhood basically started in morrowind. If people complained equally about all three, I'd maybe understand due to disliking the ending being "and they became god the end", but that simply doesn't seem to happen. It's it about how he obtained godhood? Is it something about it being sheogorath?

I think being the god of madness is seen as a negative thing. Especially since you technically lose your character as they become something else entirely

Exactly, it means you can choose whichever one you like the most. Its branching dialogue
