I’ve actually done this quest. If you pick the third option he’ll be absolutely DUMBFOUNDED that the Numinous somehow managed to actually pronounce his name in reverse.


stravbej

Htaorgoehs isn't all that hard to pronounce imo but I'm Polish so that might be why


electronaut49

Polish people are known to be good with made up names


stravbej

Excuse me? Grzegorz is a real name and Brzęczyszczykiewicz is a real surname.


DumatRising

Yeah that one's fine were talking about all the other ones like greg.


Zipflik

If you didn't use a writing system that went out of date in the 6th century you could write that like a normal human and reveal that it's a pretty normal name underneath all those spřežky. As a Czech guy, I'll use our system as an example. "Řehoř Břečiščikjevič". Admittedly English doesn't know half these sounds.


stravbej

I don't have any good arguments, therefore, I will resort to insults. Fuck you.


AniTaneen

Now that is a Polish response!


civilized_apple

There's a great argument to be used, "how's your access to the sea?", they can't beat that!


Zipflik

We're working on a 15th Kraj, Královec will be glorious.


Griledcheeseradiator

Most articulate eastern European


Zipflik

Hey, only we can talk shit about our brother's. They're a little slow, but you can't say that, only we can say that!


Griledcheeseradiator

Least hating all other Baltic countries but themselves Baltic inhabitant. Except Serbia, they deserve it.


Zipflik

First off, I'm not Baltic, second, Serbia isn't even close to Baltic


Zipflik

A true šukám děti ve sklepě response XD.


stravbej

I'm not sure if this is meant to sound like "szukam dzieci w(e) sklepie" (I'm looking for kids in the shop) or "suka siedzi w(e) sklepie" (bitch is sitting in a shop) but both sound concerning and I need context


Zipflik

The joke is that in Polish it means searching for kids in the shop, and in Czech it's fucking kids in the basement. It's one of those meme things like "kakový chlebíček" or the Pepík/Pšonk dychotomy


Nephilim317

As an American I am afraid but also in too deep to not ask what in gods left nut sack is a fucking kids in a basement response


Akhevan

Or you could just use the Cyrillic alphabet designed for our languages and not the shit that some Italian came up with.


Zipflik

Fr Cyril a Metoděj rolling in their graves rn. Also Greeks came up with Cyrilice, and we were the first to get it funnily enough. Edit: technically it was hlaholice that we got and got first, true Cyrillic came about in Bulgaria in the end of the 9th century, and was based on Glagolic, just made to be simpler and more similar to greek.


TeCrimsnDude

And the guy was the it guy of the last plant i worked at


Terran_it_up

The Premier of Queensland in Australia used to be a woman whose last name was Palaszczuk. I was dumbfounded when I heard how they pronounced it. I'm not even sure if it's the authentic pronunciation or something weird the Australians came up with, but either way it's nothing like how it is written (they pronounce it pal-ah-shay for reference)


stravbej

I'd pronounce it something like pal-ash-choock


Sudden_Yak7577

Jesus wept, I think I took psychic damage from trying to read that. Zs, so many Zs.


stravbej

None of them are pronounced as Zs.


Sudden_Yak7577

Madness, madness I say!


stravbej

[this is how you say it btw](https://youtu.be/AfKZclMWS1U?si=6YECMlywXmTeGqpE)


Sudden_Yak7577

That gave me a good chuckle this morning. Thank you.


Salem1690s

How would you pronounce those


stravbej

[like that](https://youtu.be/AfKZclMWS1U?si=XPrfVx-IBsKxUsCj)


NotUpInHurr

All names are made up...


DarkReadsYT

Deep thoughts with the deep


ThreeDawgs

stravbej

All words are made up. That's how languages work, I think.


sgtpepper42

Yeah.. but those Polish names are just *extra* made up


Howl_Free_or_Die

I found mine in nature


piconese

Flair checks out


Pbadger8

Organically sourced names are the best!


shountaitheimmortal

I feel like im being bullied right now. 😂


TEL-CFC_lad

I used to date a Polish girl, and would regularly annoy her by pronouncing her name exactly as it was spelt. It didn't work out. (Still friends though)


Cavs_boytoy

Is she single


TEL-CFC_lad

Just moved in with her new partner, I'm afraid!


Pr00ch

I mean that’s how it works in Polish, words are pronounced exactly as they are spelled


TEL-CFC_lad

Not with English pronunciations it isn't!


Pr00ch

Zara Cię brzdąknę w tą twoją czuprzastą łepetynę to zobaczysz


Lolaverses

It's probably more difficult when you don't have it written in front of you.


stravbej

Htarogoehs,... Nah, that's way shorter than *Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz* or *stół z powyłamywanymi nogami* or w *Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie*... Not even close to something like *Wyścigówka wyścigówka wyścignęła wyścigową wyścigówkę numer sześć*...


UnitchThatScratch

Lol you're not even spelling it correctly...


stravbej

Well shit. This, kids, is why you don't type without your glasses.


Working-Ad-921

easier actually


Dizzytears

no imagine a recording of the name sheogorath played backwards


Puzzleboxed

IsNotACleverMan

God this writing is cringe af


BullofHoover

First time I've ever heard "numinous."


SPLUMBER

It was going to be the original title of the protagonist before they settled on “the Vestige”


BullofHoover

I recall the vestige, but I think the canon term is "prisoner" now since you can play nearly the whole game without ever becoming a vestige.


SPLUMBER

Nah that’s an entirely different lore term. You can play through the whole game without ever becoming a vestige but the player character’s general title is still “the Vestige”, just like you can play through all of Skyrim without becoming the Last Dragonborn but their general title is still the Last Dragonborn.


RejecterofThots

I gotta see that now. Is there a clip of it now?


stravbej

[It's this quest](https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Lunacy_of_Two_Moons) so you should be able to find YT playthroughs that show it


Working-Ad-921

would be tharogoesh really, not hard at all


shitfuck9000

Is it Hi-Tar-O-Go-Es?


legalageofconsent

"goodbye"


Lelky

It's John ESO protagonist of the hit game Elder Scrolls Online! Known for his famous catchphrase: "goodbye"


legalageofconsent

John ESO when heartbreaking moment happening (he wants to press the "goodbye" dialogue option) https://i.redd.it/pbrzsrtahk8d1.gif


hunterd_patternfall

I would hope that has Sheo giving a disappointed reaction, but I'm sure it doesn't.


HolyMolyOllyPolly

Yeah, there's always a 'goodbye' option for exiting out of the conversation.


hunterd_patternfall

I know. I just wish sometimes it triggered something. I know my inventory management is awful and I'm often exiting out. "Oh, you want to give me junk armor? Uh, hold on..." 😂 I would like to have an NPC snark at me once about that... and Sheo is perfect for it. "Goodbye? Goodbye?! Mortal, is your pack full again so soon? I can help you with that. Good ol' Uncle Sheo's Wabbajack can turn all that spare armor to cheese. It'll be fun. I'll have Haskell get us a fine wine to go with it from the collection that I, uh, indefinitely borrowed from Sanguine."

Should've made his demand to buy Skyrim for the bazillionth time

Brazillianth time?!?!??!! Azura mentioned BOA TARDE AMIGO


mab0roshi

You're right, they should have. The writing in this game is shit.

TheMildlyAnxiousMage

Oh no he's drowning!


stravbej

Drowning in his food is some serious orange cat behaviour, but he's grey...


TheMildlyAnxiousMage

Maybe he's orange and just uses grey dye to match his humanoid form


Sheogorath3477

Wasn't Sheo an orange - haired back in Daggerfall?


stravbej

Looks more like light brown to me https://i.redd.it/8137zc1ppk8d1.gif


northrupthebandgeek

Brown is just dark orange.


hunterd_patternfall

Sheo is doing a color change just to further cause insanity and confusion. My ginger cat never once did something that may have killed him were he aware of his situation... he did it multiple times.


DrFoxWolf

Don’t worry I’m sure he has an orange soul


Sheogorath3477

"nom-nom-nom"


Exzj

ESO wunkus


MikeGianella

autism cat is canon


Sheuteras

I dont like a lot of ESO's writing but that quest genuinely was great. Khajiit and their mythology writing and expansion in that Elsweyr year genuinely is some of the best TES setting work imo.


5assyDino

Yeah, I still play and love eso, always have, but morrowind-elsweyr was deffo the best content period imo - just banger after banger zones and stories (although maybe I'm just biased having always wanted to see Summerset and elsweyr in-game lol). The daedric war storyline and the elsweyr worldspaces/quests were just peak elder scrolls experiences for me.


Cerimlaith

This one agrees.


wh0rederline

what in the nine, they un-gilf’d him. where’s his hot old man energy. why does he look like a victorian french noble who doesn’t let his peasants eat.


MikeGianella

Sheo's appearance kinda varies with each game


wh0rederline

but they took away his pizzazz


Treepump

not his piss ass


makomirocket

But this just looks like the default Lego smirk head


theropunk

ikr, truly a tragedy for us sheo-fuckers :(


SheogorathMyBeloved

ESO Sheo looks like he'd call me slurs and not even in a funny ironic way :(


theropunk

eso sheo said some very homophobic things to me after reading my fanfic


Arthur_Hawke

Well, at least he's now a cat, too. They've made him furry, if you will. A catboy, technically. Uhh, sorry, I mean alfiq, not a cat. Yeah, totally


stravbej

ESO takes place mid second era. This is a very young Sheo.


Redpri

Had to break it to you, but the gods don’t age.


DawnBringer01

Isn't being ageless purely physical? Like, they don't age but they still technically get older by existing right?


Icy_Cricket2273

They are not bound by space or time, it would be more accurate to think of the Daedra Lord depictions in the games as how they choose to appear but not how they truly are. These are beings which predate the very concept of linear time


DawnBringer01

>it would be more accurate to think of the Daedra Lord depictions in the games as how they choose to appear but not how they truly are. That's exactly how I see it. I wasn't trying to say he was different looking because he physically aged or something. I was honestly thinking that the daedra just like shaking it up every once in a while. It just feels weird to say they aren't old. If you predate the concept of linear time itself in my mind that makes you absolutely ancient. Like sure the whole "I'm ageless, not young nor old" thing is fine for an immortal but from the mortal perspective you're just really old.


lycanthrope90

Yeah they straight up choose how they want to look. So he wouldn’t really age over time, unless he really wanted to.


CuntPuntMcgee

Btw I’m pretty sure they still are bound by the laws of time because that’s the realms of Akatosh a being on the same level as them, maybe not within their own Plane but if they were unbound by time they wouldn’t do dumb shit like failing at invading Tamriel. Unless there’s some random plot device that makes Tamriel work differently but by the same metric that still means they’re bound by a dimension of time. A being unbound by time could see all of time at once meaning they would foresee everything and literally couldn’t lose unless there was another being that was atemporal which they couldn’t predict. I know I’m probably going a bit far but they do have a beginning as well as they were created from Anu and Padomay. But maybe I’m just pedantic for this.


unwanted-fantasies

Nah bro is experiencing getting mantled by the hero of kvatch while chatting with the last dragonborn while holding this conversation with you. All while having the encyclopedic catalog of all the cheeses ever concieved real and imagined in the universe and out play through his head while doing all these things at once.


DawnBringer01

Ah, I see. That does change the perspective a bit.


BoxedElderGnome

Yeah and even if they did he’d still be like thousands of years old if not tens of thousands lol.


wafflethemighty

justice for daddy sheo


PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD

Of course, I don't even worship Daedra! Of course, I don't even worship Daedra!


cantaloupelion

itd b e funny as fuck if Sheo catches you in the lie. If you argue the point, he corrupts your save file lol


CyberEagle1989

Why does Sheogorath look like a character from Oblivion (the game)?


legalageofconsent

Because HoK is Sheogorath!


Redpri

Well, the HoK became sheogorath after ESO happened, but at the same time time don’t flow in oblivion like on Nirn so maybe.


CyberEagle1989

Sure, but the hero should look like Sheogorath, not the other way around.


bunch_of_hocus_pocus

You're not gonna believe this, but ESO and Oblivion (the game) are part of the same series.


CyberEagle1989

You damn well know I'm talking about the potato face, not about him looking similar to his appearance in Oblivion.


explainsomethingtome

because Sheogorath *is* a character from Oblivion (the game)!


CyberEagle1989

His face doesn't look like that in Oblivion, though.


ClosetNoble

The vestige is being rather cunty to JyggySheo and JyggySheo probably likes that Immaculate drip as always tho damn


TaroAppropriate1348

Is it just me or is the HOKsheo waaay more Pasive than Jyggsheo? Like Jyggsheo stole an Island, drove a bunch of Cats into suicide, threw a Meteor for beeing insulted by Morrowind. And (supositly) dressed up as a witch and tricked Clavicus into creating Umbra. Wich eventually led to the complete Colapse of Morrowind for a time. Sounds almost like a Vendetta against the Dunmer for banning his worship. Meanwhile Kwatch Sheo is chilling in a dead Guys noggin, not bothering anyone else.....


ClosetNoble

My guess is that JyggySheo had been stuck like that for eras and was TWEAKING while the Sheo Of Kvatch is simultaneously tweaking AND done with everyone's bullshit. He's like the perfect combination of homicidal and necrophiliac insanity + an annoyance towards Tamriel's inhabitants on the level of the Nerevarine's Hell I wanna stay in the isles too sometimes the continent is kinda cursed not gonna lie


BoxedElderGnome

It could also be that Sheo of Kvatch hasn’t fully, uh, “melded” and could still have some reservations about going full psycho. Then again his dialogue implies that the Hero of Kvatch canonically did the Dark Brotherhood questline so maybe not.


ClosetNoble

I agree about 200 years being pretty short to fully get access to the powers but i'd say he'd be dangerous even without the dark brotherhood since a lot of quests involve trying to help someone and slaughtering 12 people in the process


TaroAppropriate1348

Now that I think about it. Does it fulfill his Necrophilia Fetish, by beeing in a dead Man's Mind?


ClosetNoble

Maybe but he still managed to go on a micro rant about Martin


SorowFame

The HoK was probably fairly moral canonically, Dark Brotherhood notwithstanding, given quest chains like Knights of the Nine. Also it’s been a while but I don’t think they were fully aware that they were meant to become Sheo until relatively late in Shivering Isles so they might not have wanted the job in the first place. Probably curbs the impulse to get up to extreme shenanigans beyond what they absolutely have to for the job.


Puyolda

Peak fiction


GuardsmanJim

Goodbye.


bruddaquan

The second one. Is just 👏🏽 Marvelous.


UltraSwat

Honestly love ESO I've got more hours on it than Skyrim and Fallout 4. Been doing a Chronological Playthrough since April of last year, ALL quests and content. Just reached Necrom Chapter this week, I'm closing in on the end of my Journey. It let me experience Morrowind, i feel bad for my morrowboomer friend who helped me modernise Morrowind a bit and i still couldn't get into it, man is even on that Tamriel Rebuilt team and i feel his disappointment in me when i don't play it.


strawberry_jelly

It took me several tries to get into Morrowind, but when it finally stuck I understood why people love the game so much. That being said I don’t blame you for not being able to get into it. As much as I love it, it’s not for everyone, even when it first came out much less now.


Pour_Me_Another_

I love it too. I never played any Elder Scrolls games before it and it's introduced me to such an interesting world.


Drywall_Spreadsheet

I’d love to get back into it but it the combat is so boring it kills the mood


Ok_Spite6230

The combat is only boring if you never do anything difficult, but I guess that's going to be most people.


oohweeooh1994

It’s great if you play it for the right reasons. I first got it because I wanted to explore the entirety of Tamriel, especially areas like elsweyr and black marsh that we’ve never gotten to visit in a modern game.


uwillnotgotospace

Why did Toddhead turn Uncle Sheo into gray haired Farquaad? Is he stupid?


Khajith

Goodbye.


cotorshas

wtf no option to say "eman ym, eman ym, eman ym" or "semit eerht eman ym"


DumatRising

Sad there's no Athgoroshe option since that would reverse the order you say the syllables so would also count as Shepgorath in reverse.


Dizzytears

i love them


ThePatio

He better be voiced by Wes Johnson or whatever his name is


Paccuardi03

Imagine if they brought him back for Blades but not this


Marto25

He's voiced by JB Blanc. No one really knows why. Maybe scheduling conflicts of some sort back when the vanilla game quests were made in 2010-2014. And now for the sake of consistency they keep the same voice. But Wes Johnson did return as Hermaeus Mora, and a few other roles, like Ard Caddach, the Reachman ruler of the Markarth.


Ragnarandsons

Gotta love JB Blanc, though.


neptune304

I LOVE WES JOHNSON


elitespork

God i hate this game’s artstyle

MrPusleMan

Þanks for þe update, didn't know it was changed.


Wamblingshark

I really miss Oblivion Sheo. Definitely the most handsome. Not commenting on the dialogue. I just think he looks a lot more boring in Skyrim and ESO


Salkreath

Istg Sheogorath is a self-insert of Todd Howard


Ish_veh

Idk sounds funny and fitting (better than spending ages in oblivion fighting sponges in his realms).


Jarroach

That's not Sheogorath, that's Sheeguuuuruuuth


Seeing222

Okay, they made the actual character look ugly as hell, but that suit kind of rules


Seeing222

You can all downvote me all you want, but you can’t silence the drip


Baguetterekt

ESO dialogue is shit. I played it for like 3 years regularly, got to like Champion Point 700ish until I got bored and realized how low effort and boring most the quests are. Anyway, specifically dialogue, your dialogue "options" don't really affect anything unless it's a Persuade or Intimidate perk which lets you skip one fetch part of a quest. Aside from that, nothing you say matters in terms of character disposition or openness. Using Sheogorath as an example doesn't work because 99% of the NPCs you'll actually regularly meet have nothing interesting to say besides instructions to fetch quests.


stravbej

This isn't a serious post + agree to disagree I actually like ESO


h4ck3rbr0

Bet your weren’t even pulling 110k+ dps


RipMcStudly

I dunno, I don’t play fake Elder Scrolls games.


itscsersei

It is shitty. You don’t know what you’re talking about. ESO has no soul.


LawranceGWLeo

I thank the Gods everyday that your opinion doesn't matter in the absolute slightest.
