    I didn't like either character. The choice to get skill points out of the experience was the only thing I got of lasting value.

    If you follow the quest you will eventually find out that letting her go with the madgod is actually her only chance of happyness.

    Vareste is not normal she is different and never had any friends only books. Sheo is actually helping her.

    Madness is not happiness.

    Oh yeah. Sheogorath the helpful. Until he's not. People who played Oblivion have been to the Isles. Let's just say Sheo isn't exactly...stable. Valaste would not be "helped", or safe, or have a particularly long life expectancy.

    Some of what Sheo says, when he's actually depending on your character:
    "The Isles, the Isles. A wonderful place! Except when it's horrible. Then it's horribly wonderful. Good for a visit. Or for an eternity."

    "Really, no need to trouble yourself with the details of that now. It would just cloud your little mind. What is important is getting to Xedilian. Quickly. Before I get bored. You wouldn't like me when I'm bored."

    "A little busy here! I'm trying to decide what to have for dinner. Oh, how I love eating. One of my favorite things to do. Talk to Haskill if you need more information. He's got more brains than a brain pie. Oh... Brain pie! Perfect! Care to donate?"

    "The Greymarch is upon us, and the Ordering begins. Armies of Order sweep My Realm. Death. Destruction. Then I have to pick up the pieces. And there are always lots of pieces. I don't like it, having to rebuild My Realm every era. Sometimes I forget where things go. Like New Sheoth. I can never remember where it belongs.... You'll change that. Break the cycle. You'll stop Jyggalag, and I'll have My Realm to come back to. I've never actually tried that before." When you wonder whether you can, he'll say: "Why not? Something has to work. Once, I dug a pit and filled it with clouds. Or was it clowns? Doesn't matter. It didn't slow him down. To be honest, it wasn't the best idea. And it really began to smell. Must have been clowns. Clouds don't smell bad. They taste of butter! And tears. But, this is all new! A fresh idea! Something I hadn't thought of, until I did. It's sure to work, even though it might not."

    "I hate indecision! Or maybe I don't. Make up your mind, or I'll have your skin made into a hat -- one of those arrowcatchers. I love those hats!"

    I love to have actual choices and even more when there is an actual cost to making the right choice. It feels meaningless otherwise. I’m fine with it being something as significant as 2 skill points but also found it satisfying when, in an unrelated quest, my character was despised and shunned for destroying a terrible weapon.

    I did it once, on my evil vampire run through. Pretty sure he has 120 unused skill points atm. And as for the "evil" run through 90% of, if not all the decisions I made turned out more sage than the ones I thought were good/kind.

    My main can't stand Altmer other than Fennorian so she had no problem taking the tome. She also figured she could use Sheo's "win" as a bargaining chip for any other nefarious plans from him.

    My little Bosmer is kind of heartless anyway , lol.

    Other characters like my noble-hearted Nord tank chose to save her.
