"A bitter mercy perhaps, but a mercy all the same." He understands that through Madness, people find who they truly are and can make the best of it. I want to see more of him in the next game, and I wan the dispute about whether or not he is the hero of kvach or not addressed. Sheogorath, in my opinion is a madman along with a dash of something else. He is no genius. Perhaps "artist" is the better word. In a way, we're all a tad kooky. Have you ever noticed that all the famous creators and artists of history were quite mad? Motzart was classified as clinically depressed for most of his adulthood. Vincent van Gogh cut off his own ear and mailed it to his wife. Earnest Hemmingway married four women in less than twenty years, after which point he committed suicide. Doctor Kevorkian convinced countless to commit suicide. Sheogorath is an artist. He knows just the right buttons to push to drive mortals mad. Now that, my friends, is called the art of scamming, or conning, or something-or-other-I-cannot-recall-the-name-of. I am aspiring to become an author, my sister an actress. I have a way of stringing words together in intrinsic fashions. She can think up the most elaborate ideas for anything creative, from drawings to Minecraft. I can see a bit of madness in us both. Madness isn't a curse, but a blessing to be cherished, especially by artists.
