Elder Scrolls IV Shivering Isles

Elder Scrolls IV Shivering Isles

With the Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles DVD, you’ll open up new areas in the world of Oblivion so you can continue playing with your existing save game/character, or create an all new character just toexplore the new content. Within the Realm of Sheogorath, players can explore the two extreme sides of the god’s madness — the sublimely creative and the completely psychotic. Something is happening to the Shivering Isles and Sheogorath himself looks to you to be his champion and defend his realm and its inhabitants from destruction. Do you have the strength to survive his trials, tame a realm fraught with paranoia and despair, and wear the mantle of a God?

4 Stars Brilliantly Demented (or Manic, Take Your Pick)
First, do you have The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion? You’ll need it for this expansion.

The installation is easy and the expansion integrates into the overall game with ease. Even if you’re well on your way with Oblivion’s main quest, the entrance of Shivering Isles into the realm of Tamriel is unobtrusive and natural. A strange door appears on a little island near Bravil. Whether you investigate immediately or later is entirely up to you.

Think of this expansion as a much-deserved vacation into lunacy, a break from saving the “real” world from infernal Daedra.

So what happens? To say anything of the plot would be spoiling the fun. Suffice it to say that you’ll dealing with an impetuous god, one of the Daedric princes. Sheogorath has a wicked sense of humor, a personality split right down the middle, and a very elaborate plan (or two) for you. To accomplish the goals that Sheogorath sets before you, you will engage in dungeon crawls, caving expeditions, tragic battles and political conspiracy. And rest assured that the decisions you make will have a marked impact on your future.

From my experience, the lessons learned and the abilities gained from the Shivering Isles quests and adventures can prove incredibly handy toward completing the main Oblivion quests, should you decide to visit Sheogorath’s realm before saving Tamriel entirely.

As with Oblivion, the technological demands are remarkably steep, particularly where graphics cards are concerned. If you’re a Nvidia enthusiast, you’d best be armed with an 8-series card (Examples: eVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB PCI-Express Graphics Card or eVGA e-GeForce 8800GTS 320 MB PCIe Video Card), at the very least. While Oblivion and its expansions can be played on older, less muscular systems, the experience will always be sub-par without the full effect provided by a better graphics card.

4 Stars Elder Scrolls Shirvering Isles PC CD version
I’ve seen other reviews on the expansion about not being long enough. This entire series has been nothing but an endless joy for me! No-one wants the Quest to be over..But for every level you go up and what time of day it is, it is always different experience! About this expansion . I only have one small problem, which are the (greys) in Dementia.

Some what like Bravil’s homes. About The Prince of Madness, Sheogorath; I think he is very funny with a very spooky dark Daedric side! I’ve just begun my journey and so far the creatures I have run into are nothing like Cyrodils. The folks here are totally insane and so enjoyable to speak with! The Graphics bring out so much in personality and atmosphere of this Realm and its people!!! The character graphics have more detail and personality! I hope Bethesda keeps the series going!

4 Stars Pretty Good
Let me just start by saying that basically, this game is more of the same. But people who like this game aren’t looking for a genre defining expansion, so if you liked the main game you’ll like this. It basically adds more quests, items, creatures, dungeons, etc.

If you’re fine with that you’ll like the game. At 14 bucks it’s a steal. Personally the story is passable. Something about a mad king with a mad realm needing saving or something. Oblivion’s main weakness has always been the story and your purpose in the world. You never really feel like you make much of an impact with the things you do. And small things like literally 2 voice actors that voice every single NPC in the game take you right out of the immersion even more. Thankfully, Oblivion’s main selling point is being immersed in exploring the world.

If you see a point in the distance, chance being you can walk, ride or swim from your current position all the way to that far off point. Chances are you’ll never make it to that mark on your map anyways becuase half way you’ll constantly find yourself going off the beaten path. Discovering dungeons, new castles, fighting bandits, opening portals and a myriad of things that make this game unqiue. Even with an expansion that adds some new elements, it still doesn’t solve the problem of a meaningless story and your close to meaningless place in it. Yeah you can affect the world and your surroundings somewhat, but you never really feel a part of it, unless your exploring some hidden nook in it’s huge world.

I wish this expansion had atleast added some freaking new voices for the NPC’s. I can’t tell you how jarring it is to hear every single NPC in the game speak in the exact same voice as his next door neighbor. It does seem like some of the new female characters are atleast “attractive”. Visually the game is beautiful, but the character designs are freaking hideous.

I’m eagerly awaiting Elder Scrolls 5. Just making the minor changes I’ve complained about they can really have the next great RPG on their hands. That being said 14 dollars is a small price for 20-30 hours of brand new content.

3 Stars Not worth the money
Took me 2 days to finish this addition. I wouldn’t suggest it. Good content but not enough of it!

5 Stars GREAT GAME!!!
This game is best if you have played the main quest of oblivion and some side quests. Also it is good if you have starten Knights of Nine because it helps you get the ropes a Shivering Isles is so different and creepy it is a lot better that way

3 Stars There are many more fun games available
I bought this game because of my past experience with Age of Empires series. I must confess that i am a novice as for as games are concerned. I have played only three games (all on PC) Age of Empires, Age of Mythology & drum rolls please GTA San Andreas. Age of Mythology is certainly an improvement over AOE, however it is no comparison to Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. I bought both of the games simultaneously. And there is no comparison between the two games. GTA San Andreas is many times more versatile, fun, engaging, interesting, challenging then AoM. You can make an argument that these two games belongs to different categories, but if i want to play games for fun and challenge. Then i would choose GTA any day.

4 Stars Awsome game but Buyers beware!!!
I bought this game through a third party on Amazon and the game came just as expected with great service. I was able to play the single player just fine and its a great game.

Now comes the part where it gets a little fishy. I was not able to get online and play the multiplayer for this game. I did some researcha nd come to find out Ubisoft and Valuesoft bought the selling rights to the game from Microsoft. There was a mistake somewhere down the line and all the cames have been shipped with the same CD key!!! I actually bought another copy thinking I had been scammed but it wasnt the case. The second copy I bought from BestBuy had the same CD keys.

Buyers will need to contact Ubisoft and Valuesoft to get valid copies of the CD keys. Ubisoft will make you send pictures, scans of the reciept and product code and open a ticket on their support site. They emailed the new CD keys back in two business days. Valuesoft on the other had makes it more difficult. You have to physically mail in the info (no copies) to their company and then wait for new CD keys in the mail. takes two weeks.

Overall this is an awsome game and the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because the manufacturer needs to pull their head out of you know where.

5 Stars Amazing
This is an amazing game. It is by far the best game like it, compleatly trumping both age of empires, with its god powers this game rocks my socks. Even the cheats are the best and funniest ever. In what other game can you make exploding methain chickens of doom fall from the sky?

5 Stars RTS fun
I liked this game a lot because of the god powers you can have and all the mythological creatures from ancient civilizations.

4 Stars great game for the price
Great game for the price I found on here. Brand New. I have already gone on to beat the campaigns but the game is still fun on single player and whatnot….i think im gonna go play right meow….
