Aw3someness posted...Against my better judgment, I'm going to throw myself into this **** storm.
My only contribution is this... is becoming the new Sheogorath really that impressive? Really? Honestly? The old Sheo was the Mad God. Literally. He was insane. He had you perform a series of menial tasks and challenges and more or less bestowed his identity on you in a fit of pure whimsy.
IMO, that pales in comparison to the ability to go toe to toe with Alduin, the being/god that was to bring about the end of time. Besides, isn't Alduin supposed to be the basic equivalent of Akatosh's evil twin/form? That's got to count for something.
Since all games could boost / resto loop / mod / hack their way to in-game godhood, only lore should count. Standing toe to toe with Alduin is far more impressive than the whimsy of an insane being.
*turns him into cheese*
There, now you know how a fight against Sheo would go.
