Also SI can be looked as a crazy event that probably didn't happen seeing how Sheogorath is a crazy dude, he probably made it all up. There's less factual evidence that it's not. Considering none of the games mentions the previous hero or his fate leaves it very much open as it is with our individal characters. think about it, if the hero's actually had a story and fate bethesda would have included it as a easter egg, just because sheogorath in skyrim mentions events from oblivion that doesn't mean he's hero of kvatch. He's a daedra they know alot of things, if not all things over the eras. And like I said, Sheogorath is the daedra prince of madness, he could have made up SI all up for the same of our enjoyment and his.

And continuing my previous point if the hero did have a set path that means we can't really role play and make up random backrounds of his past and his future. It's also partially why bethesda always starts the next game with us in prison or shackles, outside of a running gag at this point originally it was supposed to eliminate a "who he/she" was and it always ends up with us being held captive by mistake. Trust me the game hints a bunch of stuff already and bethesda never mentions it in their games. SI or most DLC are what if events because I bet you this, if TES:VI releases it'll either not mention the dragonborn at all or if it did it wont mention "the Last dovah; half dragonborn, half vampire lord and Haermaeus Mora Servant..etc". There's a standard amongst all games that never truly mentions the fate of the character and we are, as players, end up thinking this happened or that happened. It makes for an interesting role play with our characters we made and developed.
