Oblivion GoTY is the Chuck Norris of modern RPG's. It takes an already mind-blowing game, and adds two interesting side quests. Honestly, Shivering Isles wasn't long enough, but maybe entering at level 28 with several master stats was what did it. However, the Shivering Isles did throw me for a curve, as one minute I was slightly creeped out by Dementia, and the next I was tripping in Mania. There was also a humorous bit where I found the shrine of Sheogorath while exploring Cyrodiil (forgive my spelling), and upon starting the quest, Sheogorath began yelling at me for not doing the quest he assigned me in the Shivering Isles. Overall, the Shivering Isles was a fun new story with plenty of demented humor and interesting characters, namely Lord Sheogorath.

Knights of the Nine was rather annoying for a while. Right off the bat you have to go find ALL of the Wayshrines of the Nine (I don't consider that a spoiler. It's pretty uneventful.) Then some of the tasks you have to do seem somewhat ridiculous, but for those I didn't feel motivated, so I just used a walkthrough, because I bought the game for fun and action, not puzzles and thinking.

However, both new quests were still fun, and with the other downloads, it kinda screwed things up. For example (DO NOTE THIS!!), if you want to be "Mr. Holy Crusader Dude", have the Dark Brotherhood over with, and don't buy the Deepscorn Hollow expansion. You'll lose your "holiness" and have to revisit the wayshrines all over again (sounds like fun doesn't it?)

In the end, this game more than satisfied my desire to play Oblivion, and made it even better.
