I've always run on the assumption that whatever language you're hearing is just some manner of common/trade tongue that's presented as [real-world language] so that you know what the hell is going on.
I would have liked their situation to change as the civil war progressed. Like they get stronger or weaker as Ulfric's power shifts.
They returned to monkey. However, it was a separate group of cannibals worshipping Namira, not the Reachmen. Reachmen worship the Hagravens if I recall correctly.
I don't think it's at all an unpopular opinion, in Sacrosanct/Sacrilege that's a major change they made and in Better Vampires it's an option.
Yeah definitely, when I was fucking around with god mode and got infected I was confused that there were no negative effects even if I turned it off. I just got red eyes and my feet started floating.
I think she still appears, given that post-vampire questline there's a quest to kill all of the Dawnguard leaders, her included.
I had no patience for vampirism. Hircine > rape god
Sheogorath gets a pass because he was the best thing in Oblivion, is sometimes not a titanic dickhead, and his lore has room to headcanon whatever the fuck you want since his incarnation as of Skyrim used to be some schmuck that did gofer work for everybody important during the Oblivion Crisis. With Meridia, it's usually people who don't know the difference between a paladin and a zealot, and think they'll never be on the wrong end of that distinction.
Oblivion ruined Sheogorath. He's not the Daedric Prince of Madness anymore. He's the Daedric Prince of LOL RANDUM XDDD now. He just spouts out about cheese and makes random non sequiturs, because that's all madness is according to Bethesda.
Some people forget (or never knew) that this is the deadric prince that gave the world music by eviscerating someone and turning their corpse into instruments.
He's always been like that. He was like that in Daggerfall. The only thing that's changed is that he doesn't speak in pseudo-Old Timey English anymore.
Don't forget his "quest" in Morrowind sent you to kill a netch with a fork. Not a pitchfork, but a dinner fork. Like, off of some nutjob's table.
There's room for impulsive idiocy when applied in moderation, and I felt his shrine quest in vanilla Oblivion hit that golden balance of out-of-the-blue random bullshit and making just enough sense after the fact. Trickster gods, which Sheogorath falls into in most ways, are probably the most boring goddamned thing to have in a setting when they're sanitized, because they never get to have any fun that hurts people just for the hell of it.
