Sheogorath Themed Dungeon/Trial

Tornaad

On the twitch stream it was mentioned that someone had a dream of having a Sheogorath Themed Dungeon. It was clarified that it is not happening but that it was a dream. I think it could be awesome if done right. I could easily see it being a trial or dungeon. What do you think would you like to see a Sheogorath Themed Dungeon/Trial? What kind of features would you like to see in it?

Feature: Players can get transformed into random farm animals all throughout the run.

Feature: players could get transformed into a giant cheese roll and end up rolling down a huge mountain.

Sheogorath would shrink you and your group and the entire instance would be on top of a giant dining table filled with cheese.
Final boss a giant turkey with Stibbons's head.

A sheogorath themed instance?
MADNESS!!!
...
...yes, please!


Especially if instead of -one- path through it as usual, they make it have two paths, a "mania" path and a "dementia" path, which might be quite different in terms of challenges and bosses... and you get to pick which one you take each time.

And, just "fer da lulz"... each time you go, one of the paths could be randomly buffed, or have extra hazards active... so its always a bit of a gamble which one you pick, get lucky and take the (currently) easy one, or choose badly and get the extra-hard one...

And there could be more... like, LOTS of interactables along the paths, that all have entirely random effects - they could help you, or they could hinder you, or they could do something completely useless but fun, or they could drop extra rewards, or they could do something really, really bad (like turn your sword to a "Pay to Loose" effect cheeese grater for the reminder of the instance)... use them at your own risk!

No thank you. We get more than enough of him as it is. Even as unimaginative as 'yet another daedra dungeon' is, there are far better options to explore. He's been done to death.

Why is there no "No" poll option?

I don't want more Sheogorath stuff. I used to like him before, much thanks to Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion. But the change in voice actor, portrayal and oversaturation in ESO has made that drop notably.

Because that would not have made Uncle Sheo very happy.

I once had a guild member say that Sheogorath is the pumpkin spice of Daedra, and his fans are basic white [girls].

I can't really argue with it.

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm male.

I'm not usually a Sheogorath fan. However, I see the fun and potential in a wacky, not the usual doom-and-gloom that this type of dungeon could present.

Exactly! Sheogorath doesn't need to be involved at all. It's just an opportunity for a bit of general wackiness and a change of pace.

I need a 'no' option. Sheo is already too present in this game (and others in the franchise) - - its recognized that he's a fan favourite, and he always gets a spot because of this, but I feel the scope of eso is big enough to feature and explore more the more obscure daedric prince's and take us to realms not seen before. While I'd love to return to the shivering isles, it's been done, let us experience something new.

If it's just the fun you're after, why not Sanguine? Debauchery, intoxication, hedonism...

LukosCreyden

This game already has a load of Sheogorath themed stuff in it. We should explore the other Daedric Princes some more.

Some see him as a bit of fun comic relief. I see him as quite a sad figure. A hyper-reduction of parody and cheese. The mad god has less insanity, more attention seeker about him in my opinion. The fool god...

They need to seriously review the character and his portrayal.

I can actually see that @mairwen85 I had not thought about it before, but now that you point it out, I can very much see it.

This is one of my issues with him. People often want some silly wackiness, and supposed "fun" when it comes to Sheo.
He has stopped being the Daedric Prince of Madness and instead comes across as some attention seeking jester.
Where is dementia? Where is the darkness? The frustration and violence? The gloom and tragedy. It's just exaggerated "wackiness" for the sake of it.

If daedric princes shall make more appearances, then I'd like to see the less used ones. Sanguine makes a great fit for more fun themed things and he's also way underused. Could finally give us some usable booze and skooma that grants some kind of effect in game.

Sheogorath likes making a big scene on the stage so I say the trial of the Mad God.

Good point, I get where you're coming from. It's why I'd prefer for Sheogorath himself not to appear; in ESO, he's too established as a source for comic relief. There is likely not much room for the darker side of his character to make an appearance here, though I'd be happy to be proven wrong. It's also why I enjoy the thought of a themed group instance much more than that of a new, dedicated quest chain involving him.

Food for thought: Aren't dungeons and trials exactly where wackiness and violence would go hand in hand? I assumed that was the basic premise; these are not happy places, after all. Fun mechanics and a humorous atmosphere don't need to come at the cost of plot and characterisation. Done right, they would do the exact opposite and intertwine caprice and cruelty on a scale that you may not get to see in a solo quest instance.

Exactly my point further up.

Sanguine would be a perfect fit. The trial would be something like hell raiser (pleasure, pain and damnation entwined) crossed with clockwork orange (debauchery, drugs, alcohol, hedonism). So many unplumbed depths for inspiration and fun mechanics, and new encounters.

I'm not much of an Uncle Sheo fan, but it'd be cool to have a Shivering Isles-themed dungeon, with mechanics hopefully involving blocks of cheese It'd be something different, and a lot of people would get a kick out of it (including Jess ).
