Oblivion Expansion Pack On The Way

32

So far, Bethesda has only been expanding the wildly succesful RPG The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion through small pieces of downloadable content. But according to the latest issue of PC Zone, a full blown expansion called Shivering Isles is on the way.

Revealed in the latest edition of PC Zone magazine, word is that the expansion will offer 30-plus hours of new adventuring, features new quests, monsters, expanded freeform gameplay - quest lines that branch more than before, for example - and a new land "that you can watch change according to your vital life-or-death decisions". Setting the scene, it's explained that an ominous-looking gate has opened in Nibben Bay, the portal leading to a torn realm - the Shivering Isles - ruled by Sheogorath, the god of madness and dementia. Apparently, adventurers will meet the god and "plough through his trials", but it's additionally hinted that ultimately we may well be usurping the deity. A ETA of Q2 2007 has been given.

    I'm going to have to rent the 360 version to see what the fuss is all about over this game.
