Shivering Isles (Oblivion)

Post by :FI:TacticalS! » Tue Mar 20, 2007 2:50 pm

Last spring I played a new (and amazing) RPG called Oblivion on the Xbox 360. I know several other lads like Falcon also picked it up for the PC, while some mates like Heloego just starting to get into this massive game more recently.

Well after really enjoying the game, finishing the main quest (and countless side ones), with lots of money, houses, armour and a level around 50, I forced myself to DELETE my bloody character to put a stop to this gaming madness!

So some small content add-ons pop out. Cool. But now this expansion Shivering Isles looks pretty interesting. Needless to say I created a new character and have started back into this fantasy world in anticipation of the expansion (that comes out next week). I just hope the wifey can forgive me. :D

Falcon (et al) you getting back into this game when the expansion is released? Or have you left it for good?

What?! And give up Elf biz!?!

No way Jose!

A month or so ago I started the "Kah-nig-its of the Nine" mod with a new character and she, uh-erm, I mean he's all ready for the new game.

The character is just a poor human this time and I've stunted its growth to low levels by giving it key skills like telemarketing, owl driver, sweeping and shade repair. With everything scaled it makes things simpler.

You know for sure it's next week Mark? All I've seen is "Spring '07".

Of course I don't know for sure. Does anyone? :lol: At some sites it says next week for Xbox 360 (PC later?). However, my guess would be sometime just before Easter when shoppers hit the stores again.

Btw do you use cheats? Or is that assumed that you do 'cause you have the PC version? ;)

Cheats?

I have no recollection of using any cheats.

...

I'll let my lawyer answer any more of your questions.

It was released on the Marketplace for download on March 27. I intend to purchase it for my son for Easter. He seems pretty excited. I haven't been gaming a whole lot outside of IL-2/HE, but I did manage to start a new character in the hopes of trying out this new expansion. If not I can always watch him play. Looks cool!

Blah, lack of good planning will make Falky a lonely ferret. As for me I've already made contingency plans if the wiff goes back to her mother. Why do you think I have a sexy next door neighbour? :badgrin:

Shivering Isles is pretty darn good. Same ol'FedEx-type stuff but with new scenery and bad guys. The characters are interesting and the dungeons have a few more surprises in store for you.

Havin' a great time in Mania, wish you were here,

Hope you have a wingman with you in those caves. ;)

Been playing my new character a little bit more. Don't have the heart to redo all the old quests, so this expansion will likely be my complete experience in Oblivion this second time around.
