The issue of whether the Hero of Kvatch is now actually Sheogorath depends on whether the Compact of Coldharbour, which prohibits Sheogorath from directly appearing on Nirn, still applied after Sotha Sil's death in Elder Scrolls III.

If the Compact still binds, then the Hero of Kvatch could not have returned to Cyrodiil to finish quests etc.

If the Compact died with Sotha Sil, then I prefer to believe in the alluded to daedric apotheosis.
