Oblivion Expansion Confirmed

The rumored first 'real' expansion to Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has been confirmed. Shivering Isles will be available for the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game, with the expansion available as a download for 360 owners. In additional Oblivion-related news, GameSetWatch made a point to single out the double-layering of content for the PS3 version of the game. The title (due out next month with all 'add-ons' included) overcomes the slow speed of Blu-ray discs via a simple kludge: putting the content on there twice. From the article: "A perceptive comment from 'Marvin' is worth reprinting: "You'd automate the duplication at the image creation stage to avoid any stale data problems. People have done this on other platforms before for the same reasons - particularly the PSP, with its horrible UMD seek times. However, it does rather negate the whole increased storage capacity advantage."

Re:More lore

[Pojut]

That's strange, I feel the opposite...I despised exploring in morrowind yet I LOVE just running around Oblivion's countryside...

If you are looking for more lore, I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest you turn yourself into a book whore...there are so many hundreds of books to read in Oblivion (as well as in Morrowind) many of which are actual series..."book hunting" can be VERY fun, and some of the books are quite entertaining...

I would actually be willing to PAY for a hardbound book which contained all the stories and writing featured both in morrowind and oblivion (as in, willing to buy each one seperately, one for Morrowind and one for Oblivion)

Seriously, spend some time reading the books ingame....some really really cool stuff can come about.
