Just got the Game of the Year edition of Oblivion for the 360 yesterday, was wondering which DLC packs are work picking up and which are best avoided?
Which Oblivion DLC should I get?
- Thread starter Destructor
- Start date
Nope, it comes with Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine ONLY. While the Knights of the Nine disc release DID come with all the available DLC, this was REMOVED from the GOTY edition. So I need to know, excluding Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine, what DLC is worth downloading.
Since you already have shivering isles and Knights of the nine, you can skip the rest. They are certainly not worth paying money for. All the rest of them are just new buildings with a few perks each based on a specific guild. There are no new quests, or any real benefits that cannot be gotten elsewhere.
This. Except -
Mehrunes Razor is alright if a reasonably sized dungeon crawl and a crapload of lore (Morrowind references, yay!) appeals to you. It's one long quest, culminating in the possession of a... pretty useless thing. I enjoyed it having got it free with the KotN PC disc, but I don't think I'd pay for it.
But yeah, what OdoWanKenobi said.
I did say "everything important" you know. The rest is not worth it.
All I recall from Oblivion are two things:
- That long ass quest in th DLC. i was like when is this thing going to be over... Thank god I had my brotherhood steath armor for some of that... The Dwarvin Life detector goggles helped alot.
- The final Theives guild mission made me cry a number of times on how long ass and hard it was.
If anything Oblivion is worth getting for those two quests by itself.

YES! That was ri-god-damned-diculous, I loved it. I wished all of the final guild missions were like that. Since that was my first guild completion I was anxious to do the others, imagine my disappointment when they were all UBER short and mostly easy. Though I gotta say the Assassin's guild missions were all pretty fun, except one where I had apparently already killed a guy that was supposed to be killed way before I did that and it immediately told me to go collect my stuff.
All this talk of Oblivion is making me want to play it...
Why was it called the Game of the Year edition? According to wikipedia the last five games of the year were:
LBP
CoD4
Gears of War
God of War
Half-Life 2
Where does Oblivion get off calling itself the Game of the Year?

There is no such thing as an official game of the year. Video games don't have an Oscar or Emmy equivalent. If any publication called it Game of The Year, then they aren't lying.
The closest to an "official" awards show for Video Games is the Annual G4 Video Game awards "G-Phoria".
And in 2006 Oblivion did indeed win that title on that show.

Don't glorify that shallow piece of crap by saying it's the closest thing to official.
lol, perhaps, but being the 'only' awards show it is the closest to it. 
I do feel really bad about the entire brotherhood quest line. They were really fun and I didn't enjoy the ending to that quest line at all. It isn't hard by any means but the plot makes you PO.
Ghosts really broke the game for me I think. When I starting having to carry silver arrows everywhere I kind of said to myself, i can't play anymore. Didn't take the game seriously after that.
Being a vampire was also less than amusing and I cheated in the serium to fix myself.
I bet if I played Obvilion DiD style I wouldn't make it out of the tutorial.
I enjoyed this game so much that I ended up buying every bit of the DLC, and don't regret any of it (even the horse armor - makes my horses look badass). 
But the real gems, of course, are Shiver Isles (a whole new game practically) and Knights of the Nine, which are included in your GOTY edition. That's plenty enough of Oblivion for most people.

The only thing that annoys me with Morrowind/Oblivion is the arse-numbingly stupid character development system which makes it more worth your while have primary skills that you don't use often, since you can bump all your other skills (theoretically) to 100 and remain low enough level that all your fights are walkovers (since monsters scale with you).

Yes, but no one cares about them. They are no more "official" then any gaming website or publication which has their own game of the year list.
