The reason I'm really looking forward to this is that its not just like any other DLC, its a new world to explore plus Oblivion is already my favorite game. Also its alot more stange, unique and high fantasy than Cyrodiil, the land of Oblivion, and this will be an awesome mix up, a medievilish LOTR type world with castles and forests, mixed with a new world of insane people and tropical jungles and strange plant growth.

Also of course this is alot more gameplay and content like creating your own weapons and monsters and I even read an article that said you get to torture these guys.

So I'm just curious on what everyones opinions are. And its coming out soon.

Its an expansion, its not like KOTN which is just another main qeust or the horse armor which is just new stuff, its has a whole new world to explore and content ETC, and besides, just look at the WOW expansion.

I don't have a high end PC for new games, but I can still play older games like Morrowind and have mods for that.

I was never a fan of Oblivion. To me this just seems like an easy shot at rectifying their shoddy game engine.

ALOT of people dont have computers that will run Oblivion on the PC as well as the 360.  But I do agree with your statement

30 dollars, kinda expensive, but for an expansion that has more gameplay hours then most 60$ games out there I think its fine.

I already know that its nothing like the KOTN, I read everything about it. The burning crusade earned a 9.2 but it probrably not get higher than a 9.6

Yeah I just made that bet in my sig cause though I highly doubt it getting AAAA, it'll probably get high AAA and that will prove my point.

Shoddy engine?

Pop-up, poor draw distance optimisation, slowdown, jaggies.... the list goes ever on. It was a poorly handled affair on the 360, and on PC Bethesda even had to rely on user mods to make it look decent.

On a low end or even a medium end PC it looks really bad, but on a 360 and a high end PC it looks incredible, plus theres a ton of mods for the PC that make it look better and theres a graphics enhancing patch for the 360 coming soon.

You don't need a hi-end pc to run oblivion better than the 360. The loading on the 360 drove me mad on pc there is no loading to speak of and the user mods are great even the official mds are free on pc. If you can spare 350 beans on a new gpu oblivion will look so good on pc you'll wonder if it's the same game.

I have put in over 70 hours in Oblivion already and I'm not even half way done with the main quest  or have my character the way I want it yet.

So yeah I'm looking forward to it. If its even one fourth the size of Oblivion it'll have more playtime then most full price games these days.

I just hope they come with a game of the year edition or something soon. I would like to have the DL content on a disk at some point.

I am getting it. I have about 100 hours logged into oblivion. I never really got very far in it though. The game is too big.

I have it on the 360 and the load times aren't bad, it can take 15 secs to load when I first start u the game but while I am playing it loads fast. Also a high end gaming PC can outdo the 360 graphically especially with graphics tweaks and mods, although the 360 is getting a graphics enhancing patch. A medium end or low end PC is pretty horrid though, I've seen the screens and they look horrible. Basically I saw screens from a low end and it was horrible, I saw screens from a medium end and it looked bad, I saw screens from a high end and it looked as good as the 360, I saw screens of a really high end gaming PC and it looked better than the 360, I saw a screen from a high end gaming PC WITH graphics mods and it looked incredible!
