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."

    indeed. The mod community is what made/makes Oblivion such a great game. I've been playing for over one year and half, and this would not have been the case without the mods (currently slightly over 60 different mods active when I play, the vast majority of which are making the game HARDER). I always think of Bethesda Games as gigantic canvases. They give you a very good base upon which you can mod (or use mods) to create the game YOU want to play. I'm looking forward to the new official one of course, I just hope it won't interfere with Colovian Highlands :s
