Bethesda Rolls Out Final Oblivion Content Addition

Closing out an era, Bethesda Softworks will be bringing the final piece of downloadable content out for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Rogues and mages both have their lairs, and this newest addition is for the melee-types: The Fighter's Stronghold. Starting this coming Monday it will be available on the 360 and for PC, and for one week only it will be free for the taking. They're also hoping to bring this content to the PS3 version of the game. "Since we're talking about DLC, I thought I'd update you with what's going on with the PS3 version of Oblivion. We are close, very close to working something out to bring Shivering Isles to PS3 owners. That may be in downloadable form via PSN, or as a standalone retail disc, or both. I can't say definitively yet that it will happen, and I definitely can't say when. But it's looking good, and hopefully we'll have good news soon. Don't have anything I can tell you about any other DLC, but Shivering Isles is the one we get asked about all the time, so I at least wanted to update folks on that."

Re:We hardly knew ye...for two years.

Horse-armor aside, I think Bethesda has done a fine job of supporting a game that is now around two years old. I'd say they've done an adequate job of supporting it. The mod community has done an absolutely amazing job of supporting it though. Without them the game would have dropped off the map within a couple of months at best probably. If it hadn't been for some of the early fixes like getting rid of the horribly UI and fixing the leveling system, a lot of people, myself included, would have gone looking for something else to play.

Free for a week?

It should be free always, as part of a patch, on PC. I've got no problem with charging for it on Live or PSN, as they don't really have the precedent of free content updates... but microtransactions paying for getting your game *finished* on PC are inexcusable.

Sad times. =/
