Shivering Isles first to use the added Achievement points, it gets 250 points on it's own.

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

$30 is about 10 over what I would pay for any download ever. With the limited amoutn of space on the HD, and the price, I'll be forced to sit this out until it comes out in the "collector's" edition in a year or so.

The only good thing about playing on the pc is that you can get these games and expansions for free.

Will there be a disk version? I'd rather have something like the Morrowind game of the year edition where it is a different disk with new content but still works with previous saves.

-If the only way to get this is to download it we really need a bigger HDD.

I was really excited about Shivering Isles until I read that. I understand that the extra content is supposed to last longer than most $60 games, but the 30-40 hours they say Shivering Isles will provide is, what, about 20% of the total length of the original game(all side missions included, of course)? You add roughly 20% more content to the game and charge 50% of the original price, that is a tough sale to make. That isn't even considering the 1.5 gigs it will take up.

It looks like one giant Oblivion gate. If that's the case, I'll pass, as they were easily the worst part of the game.

The PS3 version won't have any of the expansions/add on's.

It's a completely seperate plane of Oblivion and has two different sections.

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

Alright I realize that I may be one of the last human beings to have purchased this game and I am loving every second of it. It definitely lives up the the hype...that's for sure.

I am having a lot of trouble early on with the Main Quest. I feel completely embarassed asking for help as I have een relied on may web-based walkthoughs and even the Strategy Guide itself....so here goes....

I am trying to complete the Sheogorath Shrine Quest (which I felt was the easiest Shrine Quest to accomplish since I am only Level 3)

This quest takes me to Border Watch where I must be the catalyst for three "plague-type" events. The first of which is a rat infestation.....perhaps you Oblivion experts memories are now jarred.

The problem is I know where the Olroy Cheese is. I just can't pickpocket the innerkeep, S'thasa, to save my life. Furthermore my lockpicking skills are no better. If I try to do so automatically, I'll sun through as many as 20 lockpicks without success.

I tries to slay the meek innkeeper and consequently lift the key to the cheese case from her...but everytime I try this and then go to the boiling pot of water, I get the display message A - Activate the object, but nothing happens. I know the cheese is in my possession (as a stolen item). I have waited the obligatory hour and -- no rats. Is this because I administered the beat down on poor S'thasa? Must I do this w/o killing her?

If so, I assume I need to bolster my pickpocketing and/or lockpicking dramatically. Does a level 3 adventurer has a prayer with this quest?

Shivering Isles interview and release info...LINK

28. What can you tell us about the release of Shivering Isle? When? How much? Will International (non-English speaking) fans have to wait? Will it have a paper map or other gimmicks?
Release date is March 27th, everywhere, PC and Xbox Live. The price is $30, or 2400 Microsoft points.

At that price, and assuming the size is around 1.5GB like rumoured in above posts, i hope they release a standalone disc for the 360 version...or i'll just pass on it.

I agree. I have at most maybe 3 GB and even then...I just can't see myself spending $30 on a update that is only on my Hard Drive.

As for Oblivion itself I just played it for the first time in a while and I remembered why I have to take breaks from it.




**********SOMEWHAT A SPOILER *********





I had left off at the part to get the amulet of kings, you have to get the 3 items and I had gotten one. The ending is great, very tough! With the 2 gates I thought you had to kill them all and even had to reload, then finally got inside for the ending cinematic. The oblivion gates were annoying but otherwise the main quest was a lot of fun.

Now looking forward to progressing with the dark brotherhood and getting rid of my characters vampirism. Will have to try Knights of the Nine soon too.
