Am I the only one here who is actually sad that our character. The champion of Cyrodiil becomes sheogorath goes insane?

I felt fucking fells everywhere when I found this out. People on YouTube can be "Hes awesoome becuz he so lol randum XD" but for me, It feels very sad and the personality that we created for them was destroyed because of their own sphere. If anything, he feels like a shadow of his former self.

>That poor grammar and spelling


I know underageb& is allowed, but I still frown upon this.

As for what actually transpired this is what happened, from a construction kit perspective:

>Open up the CS

>Get up the player and Sheogorath NPC entries

>Copy/paste most content from Sheogorath unto the Player NPC


>Save


>Activate .esp and play Oblivion


>Due to duplicate entries, system does not understand and rather than crash, has one file replace the other because it thinks the other is the same entry


This is what we call mantling, mimic someone perfectly in TES and you will become them.

Imagine if there was an independent viral monstrosity that knew of this process in TES and proceeded to control the minds of others to act out other lives to switch around lives in an endless replacement process until the remainder data that was not unique to the PC's overwritten gets so garbled and fucked it breaks the whole thing.

Make for an interesting campaign/plot.

Actually, wait, this is EXACTLY what the existence of duplicate Records/Dirty edits are in TES game .ESP files is on a lore based perspective.


Expanding on this, it means all the DLC since Oblivion for their respective TES games have effectively been the equivalent of massive fucking Knifes being placed into the wheel at crucial points, because of how dirty the DLC's were when you check them for errors.

The lore and the mechanics of the very game itself tells us that DLC is a fucking cancer unto the universe.

Holy fuck.
