  • Funny how IGN's reviews are so much more professional now.There's never any "um" , "ehh" or breathing brakes in recent ones.

  • @Markgangzta in a way yes. but there newer reviews are somewhat bad. always siding and comparing games to COD and such

  • Always loved this game. Just got myself shivering isles for Christmas lol! Late but awesome.

  • i use to like shivering isles then i took an arrow to the knee

  • wow look at this. than skyrim. this looks like shit. skyrim is awesome

  • @Teever333 troll much? Obviously you're not a true gamer. A true gamer doesn't overlook gameplay and story just for it's technical qualities. There are still people playing classic mario and tetris which are fun games but look at the graphics.

  • @Teever333 really? A fairytale wonderland full of maccabre and insanity that ties in well with both lore and conceptually creating better, more imaginative quests then many of the rpgs that have ever even come out to involve the gamer is shit? And I may have answered an opinion with an opinion, but it literally engulfs you in a technicolored rainbow doing the most fundemental of things, merging storyline/environment, to the more avant-garde, casting Sean Connery as crazy Scottgorath.

  • @Teever333 you sucks dick

  • I can't wait for skyrim's shivering isles

  • I have shivering isles but how do you start it?

  • @FlyingAce1016 by niven bay there is a gateway which is three-heads which you enter the shivering isles

  • so no top comment ah burger kings ballz can i get top comment maybe:]

  • @darkiscoolz yeah just checked now, was actually back in february of 2005, lol point is that I was making is that HD wasnt even around yet :P

  • 240? wtf

  • @ElderGod4 Uploaded back in 2007, 1 year after YouTube's initial release, lol

  • it's been 450 days in oblivion, so i'm assuming i don't have shivering isles ='( wish i did i only have knights of nine and it sucks.

  • is it me or is shivering isles a laggy, crashing lump of shit?? i loved oblivion but i cant get anywhere on the addon without my ps3 crashing

  • @slimjimm8 how did you get shivering isles? from psnstore?

    what did you type because i couldn't find it.

  • @saddler160 the ps store charges way 2 much for it, you should buy the game of the year edition which includes all the add ons and is usually pretty cheap

  • I got oblivion gold that already had the Shivering Isles added.... I just happen to find the door to the S.I. after maybe 10 hours of playing the actual Oblivion quest.

    .... Shivering Isles is better than the main Oblivion game itself. I was blown away at how immersive Shivering Isles is. I felt like I was in a magical place and never wanted to leave. When I finally finished S.I. I was sort of sad I was back in "plain" Oblivion lol.

    I recently finally finished Oblivion... but SI is superior.

  • I actually prefered this to Oblivion in many ways.

  • Shay-o-gore-ath

    You need to annunciate

  • I already got the game, but I'm going to get the 5 year anniversary for the Shivering Isles (same price lol).

    Mania, here I come!

  • should i buy this game if im a fan of fallout 3 and borderlands?

  • @ixXFeArLeSsXx 2 words: hell yea its a great main game and the expansions are fun as hell.

  • @ixXFeArLeSsXx Yes, Oblivion is better than Fallout & Borderlands. IMO

  • Hi Guys, i got a question. I just got the 5th anniversary edition of Oblivion like 3 days ago. Should i start the any of the dlc after i finish the main quest or it dosnt matter??

  • They should've made more expansions, but I guess I'll just wait for Skyrim

  • Is it worth the 2400 microsoft points??

  • @clevelandboiye I'd buy the disc version from Amazon, it's a bit cheaper used. Otherwise yeah 30 bucks isn't a total rip off.

  • not how you say sheogorath man... i'm insulted

  • am am am

  • @XJackLawd7 i think you get thumbs down for this comment

  • @XJackLawd7 lol no.

  • @biojc28 Yeh bitch

  • @XJackLawd7 dont call me bitch heathen.

  • i soo want tht add-on...anyone willing to sell and mail it to me?

  • Oh wow I haven't had an Oblivion binge for ages and must have 1 fresh go at the game before the awesome Skyrim comes out. I best get going now since it's going to take like 5 months to complete!

  • Lol I bought the a GOTY Edition for Oblivion and it came with Knights of The Nine and Shivering Isles, the funny part is buying the GOTY edition is cheaper than buying The Shivering Isles alone.

  • i thought of it as being like Alice in wonderland... except everything is trying to kill you

  • 240p, we meet agian........

  • can't belive that i have never had a frezze on oblivion but in fallout 3 i have frezze 1000times and never in new vegas

  • It's good, but NO where near the staggering 30 dollar price tag.

  • @GrimInstincts

    The whole expansion is longer than many RPG games like Mass effect 1 and Fable

  • @lordzilu1584 Really? from the review it just seemed like a small quest with extras,

    Guess I'll get it with the anniversary edition.

  • @GrimInstincts

    You haven't played it?

    I can assure you this is one of the largest expansion pack I've ever seen;

    The main quest of this expansion pack is way longer and interesting than Oblivion itself, beside the main quest line there are dozens of side-quests in this expansion

    It's about 50 hours total gameplay and a total new area to explore

  • @lordzilu1584 Wow, Can't wait to play it then. I guess I was highly mistaken.

  • Skyrim is coming MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

  • @aznnikeboxerpauly oblivion is a open world game, you dont have to do any of the main quest if you dont want to, or u could do shivering's quest before oblivions. Oblivion forces you to do nothing, it puts you into a huge world and lets you do what you want, if you WANT to do the main quest just go to where it starts, same with shivering, theres a door that opens in the oblivion map and u just go to it, oh and you do still start off in the vanilla oblivionj, you just travel to Shivering isles

  • It's taken me about half a year to do nearly everything in Oblivion, and that's with the hindsight advantage that IGN's guide offers. (I use it to find quests, but not to help me complete them, because looking for quests myself would take too much time when Skyrim is approaching). Love it all, Knights of the nine was cool, Shivering Isles is cool, Oblivion was (Oblivion gate missions excluded) good fun. Skyrim looks beastly so far, I've played as a Dunmer, so what race should I be next?...

  • @scaryninja1693

    uh.. change ur style of playing. for example if u player a warrior class with heavy armor and axes u could try a mage character or a stealthy character...

  • @whtisurproblem Could do, duel wielding looks quite badass as well. I might be a High Elf, playing Human seems pointless in a fantasy game when I am one out of fantasy. But Khajit's and Argonians look too weird for me. Lord of the rings sort of ruined Orks

  • @whtisurproblem Could do, duel wielding looks quite badass as well. I might be a High Elf, playing Human seems pointless in a fantasy game when I am one out of fantasy. But Khajit's and Argonians look too weird for me. Lord of the rings sort of ruined Orks as protagonists by changing them into swarms of grunts. I could play as a redguard I guess, a protagonist with a sweet afro would be cool. Either way Skyrim looks set to rock.

  • @gerardridefort

    ahhh,.... get it on pc

  • @gerardridefort

    its on ur harddrive

  • I got this exspansion about a week ago god i love it!!

  • I loved oblivion so much is took me literally about a year to do everything every dungeon quest and it was the best 200 hours i've ever spent in a game

  • What hard drive should i get to download this? I have an xbox 360.

  • @Pachirisonu The expansion takes just under 1 gig to down load so any harddrive will do as long as u have the memory space

  • I wanna find Matrices In the shivering isles I only have the one for the greaves =(

  • This expansion got cool things. For example torturing suspects and using traps to kill the adventurers xD

  • 3:03 LOL ! Guy say "Do you ever bathe?" xD xD xD

  • VVarenfeel is Morrowind land . YAY ! Finally something from TES III Morrowind give us ! :D

  • I don't know if anyone can help me or not but I got the game of the year edition of oblivion for 360 and i installed the expansions after I completed the main questline and the guilds questlines. For some reason after I installed the expansions and slept for 24 hrs... I didn't get any kind of message about the door nor have i noticed anything about the murder that starts off the Knights of the nine quests. Any kind of information would be very helpful. Please and thank you.

  • @RedefinedSoul Did you try just like, going to the bay to see if the door is there?

  • @ForeverWiked I had. But I found out what the problem was. My Xbox didn't have a certain updated needed. But I found the update and now I'm stuck on the quest to rebuild the gatekeeper.

  • the scenery reminds me more of morrowind, which for me is a good thing.

  • I just want to know how to get out of shivering isles and go back to oblivion

  • @crackwhip2007 go back to the strange door.

  • So how do I play it do I download oblivion onto the hard drive(I have an xbox) and play shivering isles from the disc??? or do I download shivering isles onto the hard drive and use the oblivion disc???

  • can you join all the guilds and im gonna get the game of the year edition for morrowind and oblivion and i want to know how you start the epantioin packs on them

  • auctaly he is now perment bonded to jyglagg by your charcter becomig the prince of maddness so he cant return you aresheoograth jyglagg said you have freed him form sherogorth and the relm of madness

  • I just got this expansion today. lol 3 years late to the party.

  • @raiders545 better late then never XD!

  • @raiders545 I'm about to start it tomorrow :)

  • @Ioserbam Kinda weird, but yet fun. Once you beat it you'll be be happy to be back in Cyrodil.

  • @raiders545 Yeah, I plan on curing my vampirism before diving into the Shivering Isles. It's too much of a pain not being able to be in the sun. The stat increases will be sorely missed :( I just went through each guild, then beat the main quest. I'm playing the game too structured :P

  • @raiders545 hey im going to get shivering isles for xbox 360 at gamestop and i was wondering, does shiver isles start from oblivion or just goes straight to shivering isles?

  • @aznnikeboxerpauly You need to wait 3 days, (game time of course) then you will get a quest journal update that says. "A Strange Door" The go to Niben bay (right next to Bravil, it should give you a map marker) and that's where it is. IF you need any help getting there use the uesp.net (the elder scrolls wikia)

  • @raiders545 but im wondering if the game elder scrolls shivering isles for xbox360 starts off with oblivion main quests in it also like the martin septim story and then goes into shiver isles afetr?? or do you have to buy oblivion seperatly and then get shivering isles?

  • @aznnikeboxerpauly I think you have to buy oblivion separately.

  • how much i miss this game GOD IT WAS AMAZING ..... cant wait for the 5th one

  • @pakilord he died you fool he can't come back you take his place as the dadericprince of madness

  • @magnasupreme Well there is the prince of order, but I wonder how they will they will address it.

  • @astaroth99 isnt that you sorta creats a paradox due to customization

  • @magnasupreme He didn't die he just got tired and teleported himself some to rest.

  • Bring Sheogorath back to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim!!

  • @pakilord Skyrim is set 200 years later

    and you take his place anyway

  • Oblivion = gamer heroin

  • mate 3:33 say, "if you haven't been on an oblivion binge recently."  my response to that is i have been on an oblivion binge for 4 years now

  • @BonJovimjdisturbd but wouldn't you have ran out of quests and dungeons by then

  • @BonJovimjdisturbd dang is it that good? are u like detailed with the game? read all the books n shit?? i wanna get into this game.. i just bought the game for the first time the 55th anneversary edition... can u still roam around and play after u pass the game??

  • @BlestTheJediThug yes u can continue playin after u finished the game and no i do not read the books im not that sad

  • @BonJovimjdisturbd lol i was being sarcastic... but thats good... this game is fun so far.. im enjoying it alot/..

    

  • @soulslayer55000 i hear some ppl can get it but for me if i get vamparism im stuck with it :/

  • @epicolla if u wna get rid of vampireism then get 6 garlics 4 nightshade and 2 blood grass frm market district then get 5 grand soul gems. one should be in the oldwomans basement and u cn get one from acrane uni n a few frm chorrol mages guild

  • @soulslayer55000 u have the game of the year edition and i could do the cure for vampirism with no bug !!!! so boy the game of the year editioon or you will regrate it !!!!

  • @macmegon *i

  • @macmegon what extras u get with the goty edition

  • @truewiddy you only get "knights of the nine" and "Svivering Isles" and ofcorse the orginal game "Oblivion" :p and i think those 2 DLC's are the best so :P

  • @macmegon do u get any new weapons and armour

  • @truewiddy well you get Knights of the nine armor and wepons and in shivering isles you get amber and madness armor and wepons and a hole new place wich is better then Cyrodill!!! :p

  • Isn't Sheogorath a Daedric Lord?

  • @soulslayer55000 Yeah some kind of bug, I'd get it on Pc if that's an option for you.

  • i hit him with my sword and he teleported me to mid air....lol it was funny then i loaded a save and hit him with a bow ....same result then loaded and used staff.... same thing it was fun though

  • where are Elder Scrolls 5??????????

  • Were is the official online version of oblivion dammit! D=

  • Shivering Isles saved oblivion from Cyrodiil's utter generic blandness.

  • why didnt they goddam brought out more exp packs for oblivion like they did for fallout 3

  • Once you finish shivering isles you can go back right?

  • @TheDrummerboy1999 you can go back whenever you want.

  • Is it just me or does Oblivion have some depressing place names? I mean, The Inn of Ill Omen, Corridors of Dark Salvation, Hill of Suicide. I mean, come on, lighten up a bit!

  • @schmoo1507 that is what makes it fun.

  • @schmoo1507 Well it depends you can chose mania to walk to the castle (The very bright and happy way) or dementia (The dark and depressing way)

  • Sheogorath was my favorite character. He was everything a NPC needs (sometimes), funny, perfect voice acting, very random, and just over all being the most lovable character in the game.

  • my favorite game

  • Shivering Isles seemed longer than the Main Quest for me. The Main Quest was just, save Kvatch, talk to blades, get a few items for Martin, kill Camoran, Martin saves Empire.

    but it was a short MQ in the first place

  • I really wanted to buy this DLC for Oblivion but there is no way im gonna pay the 2400 microsoft points that their asking for it. Does anyone else think that this is a complete rip off? It must be nearly 4 or 5 years old now and I got the actual game for about half that price.

  • @jk2008jk no it is not a rip off it one of the best DLCs for any game out

  • i borrowed oblivion from my friend, and i dont have the game anymore, but i still kept my lvl 23 file saved. So, if i buy the Shivering Isles game at like gamestop or something, then will i be able to play my saved file from oblivion by using the shivering isles disc? And i dont want GOTY edition or buy it off the online game store.

  • @valor380 No because this is a DLC for Oblivion you have to have the orginal Oblivion disc to play this

  • @valor380 i'm pretty sure the shivering isles CD only contains the expansion pack files, you still need an oblivion CD to play the game

  • its sheo-gOrath, not ... shegorat or w/e you were saying

  • @LegolessVideos No one cares dude.

  • im thinking about picking this game up for the pc which will actuly be my first game for my pc lol. im used to downloading stuf from xbox live but how do i download dlc onto my pc and how much will it cost?

  • @JSBP1996 if your still interested, get this from steam. Right now there doing a deal where you can get GOTY edition for 10 dollars or something like that

  • I have been considering for some time whether I should get this "The Shivering Isles" or "Knights of the Nine". I can understand if some might think this question silly because of the hours of gameplay ratio between the two, but please give your opinion.

  • @Christianvirtue the shivering isle not because of the ratio but because of the loot kotn adds 1 new armour set and 3 new weapons where as shivering isle has tons and more replayability when u finish kotn u just get some followers wher with shivering isles you have a hole islend to explore.im not deniein kotn is bad the armour is fantastic but u would be better of with si

  • @Christianvirtue or you could just get game of the year edition and get both :)

  • 1:55 Madness?..... THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!

  • dont like shivering isles

  • do u get this if u buy

    Elder Scrolls IV: oblivion game of the year edition?

  • @memekyosohma222 I bought game of the year edition and the game contains both shivering isles and knights of the nine. (PS3)

  • @memekyosohma222 yes you do

  • im not sure. should i get it or not?

  • Is thivesguild and fightersguild in the game?

  • @MorfandTwige Yup, they both are. Along with the Mage's Guild and Dark Brotherhood.

  • The Shivering Isles is REALLY SCARY!!!!!

  • you cant fast travel ?

  • @sparten0000000000000 You can. You have to visit a place at least once before you can fast-travel there.

  • Very nice review

  • If I buy this game, will I be able to play the Oblivion part or it is just the Shivering Isles part? Practically, what I am asking is If it includes both.

  • @ADRIEL296 Shivering Isles is an expansion for Oblivion. You can't play it by itself, you have to also have Oblivion. That said, you could buy Oblivion Game of the Year edition which includes the original game along with the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions.

  • @ADRIEL296 Naw, get Game of the Year edition, includes all expansions, though this was commented a month ago so I dont know if your still wondering :P

  • Had it on pc and loved it now for PS3 Hehe

  • man i want the expansion so much :D

  • Everytime when i play oblivion i get so scared lolz!, well a very cool mod tho!

  • @WowMoviesEurope Lol i was same at the start but fallout pulled me out of it

  • I had purchased the standard version of oblivion for PC. The only reason I got this expansion was so I could have some cooler mods that only worked if I had this. I don't regret it. :P

  • I really liked the exspansion. Some of the new creatures and items were creative. But I can't wait until TES V comes out.

  • will be a oblivion 5? answer please

  • @naquito3000 its not going to be called oblivion 5 and yeah there makeing it now

  • So amber armor is the light, and madness is heaver...What about the Golden Saint and Dark Seducer armor?

  • I thought this expansion was a major disappointment as it is supposed to be this dimension that represents the realm of insanity and madness and yet it looks so mundane, kinda like Morrowind.

  • I thought the exact same thing! just walking around i'd be like man, this place reminds me of morrowind

  • it was great when it came out for like 3 years ago, i was stoked on the graphics and so on, but i played it a week ago, and i freaking laughed, it wasnt good at all, the graphics wasnt good, (probobly cause the grapchis on every game has changed so feaking much) but yea whatever, its old and so, but probobly the elder scrolls 5 is gonna be fcking epic

  • how big is this game?? GB

  • the guy narrating is so dull

  • how much is it for PC 10? 20? bucks

  • its 35 euros, which I think 20-25 dollars

  • I bought GOTY Edition (Original + KotN + Shivering) For 20$

  • Can you buy a house in shivering isles please reply !

  • Nope unfortunately you can't...but you'll have roof protection when you're the duke/duchess of Mania/Dementia

  • But is there a chest to store some of your items once you get roof protection?

  • @RadicalNoran no i dont think you can because i have the expansion and i have not found a house for sale yet but its a good game er expansion

  • mmmh i don't think so...but there's a side quest SPOILER Hirrus Clutumnus ask you to kill him, and he give you his home keys.

  • My character's a high elf and i became the duke of mania and got the dark seducer armor, looks really awkward

  • @HellgateChronicles can you buy a house in shivering isles please reply

  • how do you get the golden saints armor?

  • become duke of dementia. not mania, dementia

  • thanks

  • complete the main quest and do it on the demented side if you want dark sudcer then manic side
