TES: Oblivion: Shivering Isles info

Litt info om Shivering Isles

Lager en ny tråd her vi kan diskutere om spillet i seg selv, ikke hvem plattform det er best på

 

The new adventures begin with the appearance of a small island in Nibben Bay off the coast of Bravil. Once you've installed Shivering Isles on your PC or Xbox 360, you'll need to rest your character for 24 hours before the island pops up, at which point you'll receive a notice to investigate. Upon reaching the island we found a large stone gate in the shape of several twisted faces that frame a glowing portal. According to a nearby guard, people keep heading through only to return as batty, violent versions of their former selves. Naturally, we proceeded forward into the portal.

 

 

The lands themselves are split into two halves: the bright and cheerfully warped Mania and the more somber, shadowy lands of Dementia

The Isles are, "A wonderful place! Except when it's horrible!" But before we can proceed there, we need to take down a Gatekeeper in the first town of Passwall which you step foot in right after accepting Haskill's charge.

 

 

Just like with Oblivion, it's an open world. You can head to the main city of New Sheoth where Sheogorath sits on his throne to follow the main quest or simply wander about, discovering hidden caves, ruins, and towns. The lands look significantly different from Cyrodiil.

I spent my morning seeing how far I could get on the Xbox 360 iteration of The Shivering Isles expansion. There aren't any gameplay differences between the console and PC versions, but there are a couple of distinctions to note. The first is that the 360 version will be only available through a download. That means if you don't have an internet connection and Xbox Live, you're out of luck. The second is that playing through the expansion will net you an additional 250 achievement points. There are 10 new achievements which all look to be centered on the new main quest to aid Sheogorath. In nearly four hours of play time, I was able to unlock three of them.

I only spent a small amount of time on the Mania side of the Shivering Isles, but the difference in appearance between the two lands is night and day. Both have a great new look that was a complete breath of fresh air after spending more than 200 hours playing Oblivion. The new art style felt decidedly more like Morrowind where everything looks organic with a fantastical feel to it. It's a great direction to take for the expansion, especially for those that have already put in a ton of time with Oblivion.

Ser ut til at jeg må skaffe meg dette.

 

Håper den blir litt lengre og mer gjennomført enn den forrige.

Release?

Being the achievement whore that I am, it didn't take long for me to broach the subject with the Pete Hines, the VP of Marketing and Public Relations at Bethesda. He pointed out that the game would feature 10 achievements that are worth a total of 250 points, and that Microsoft had initially balked, as it would technically give Oblivion more than the limit of 1000 points. Thankfully, we'll be getting our precious points, as well as more than 30 hours of gameplay and a brand-new adventure. Given that that's longer than the large majority of Xbox 360 games, we'd say that that's a pretty sweet deal.
