Talk about what? Shit that I can figure out myself? I was playing the game blind yet I didn't have a problem closing the Oblivion Gates.

Also, Sanguine doesn't help you either. All he does is pull pranks. Let's say you pulled that prank at the Leyawiin castle for him and the guards catch up to you. Sanguine will be of no help for you while you're in jail, the same way the Aedra aren't. Stop putting the Daedra on a pedestal when they're just as useful/useless as the Aedra, despite being more powerful and actually being immortal.

Because he doesn't give a shit if people get hurt in his pranks. What if the Countess of Leyawiin has you tortured to death for pulling that prank on her dinner? What if that Hagraven you fell in love with in Skyrim tears you to ribbons for rejecting her? Sanguine won't lift a finger. They could at least say "Thank you for saving all the cute little mortals of Tamriel for us". And yet they don't. Ever. You'd think they'd be more grateful that someone saved their creations.

And I'm not putting the Daedra on a pedestal. Quite frankly, Namira creeps me out, Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon are jerkasses, Jyggalag is dull and unimaginative, Nocturnal can be a bit of a bitch sometimes, Vaermina is a bitch all the time, Boethiah is too socially-Darwinian for my tastes, Malacath does not know how to freaking chill, Mephala is a manipulative bastard, Meridia is extremely terse, and Peryite is just pathetic. And I'm not saying Sanguine's a freaking saint, but he's not evil. More of a Chaotic Neutral. Like Sheogorath.

The fact that they keep giving me blessings and curing me from diseases is thanks enough. Also, in Skyrim, they made me a Dragonborn, so again, that's more than enough thanks. In Oblivion, I'm a Daedric Prince, so I have little use for them patting me on the back.

You kind of were, since you were saying that you'd rely on them rather than the Aedra. The thing is, they're both equally useful and problematic.
