Elder Scrolls IV Gets [Another] Expansion
I’ve been playing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for more than 70 hours now, and I am nowhere near done. Keep in mind that I’ve yet to buy the Knights of the Nine expansion on the marketplace, nor have I bought any of the add-ons. Suffice to say, Elder Scrolls IV is a HUGE damn game. So naturally, according to PC Zone and PC Gamer, Bethesda wants to give us a SECOND expansion.
The Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles is due to be released sometime this spring (Q2 2007) and will feature new dungeons, enemies, and a whole new continent. The new content will be split in half, with the two sections named “Mania” and “Dementia.” Already, I want to take my girlfriend there for our next vacation. The expansion promises to extend the life of this already long-lasting game by ANOTHER 30+ hours, which leaves me with only one thing to say…
Why, Bethesda? Why are you doing this to me? Was it not enough that you released Knights of the Nine just this past November? Was it not enough that there are enough downloadable items on the Xbox Live Marketplace to keep me happy for the next six months? Apparently not, since you’re already getting ready to give us all your SECOND expansion, less than a year after the first.
Of course, it IS PC only. For the moment. If you ask me, it’ll find it’s way onto Xbox Live before long, otherwise the 360 owners who don’t have a PC powerful enough to run it would throw a fit. If the expansion comes out in June and does NOT come out on both the PC and 360 simultaneously, expect the 360 version to be on the market by the end of August. Keep in mind, these are only speculations on MY part.

I agree, I think Bethesda will release something on the marketplace that will allow 360 players to play the expansion pack. I’m pretty sure it will be one hell of a download though (I’m guessing 500-600mb).
It sucks that I sold my copy a couple of months back, maybe I’ll see if I can get another copy from ebay, this game was one of my favorites when it came out. I literally would waste an entire day on this game and miss it.

My apologies I wrote this as soon as I woke up. I wrote saying that I am not sure if this is a good thing or not because my boyfriend will most likely be glued to the couch 24/7. Although I do want him to be happy, this will make his day!
