So I recently got a hold of the game of the year edition of oblivion, which is a two disc set. Disc one being the game and disc two being the two expansions. On the last show I commented on how I tried to do the shivering isles but kept getting beat down when I tried to enter. My character was also too evil to do the knights of the nine quest, so I decided to create a new character to experience the quests and am pretty glad I did. I started off with Knights of the Nine and overall I enjoyed this one the most. The storyline was awesome, and I loved searching for all the crusader relics, it had a real indiana jones feel to it. After I completed that quest I moved on to the shivering isles which at first I hated, but slowly I was sucked into the quest and couldn't put it down. By the end of the quest line, when there was nothing left to do and I was at the entrance back to cyrodill, I felt like i was leaving wonderland. Like I didnt wanna go back to the boring "reality". I would recommend either DLC to anyone. If you had to pick one I would go with Knights of the nine. It was shorter, but better in my opinion.

Good call referring to the Shimmering Isles as wonderland. For as beautiful and well designed as the Cyrodill was it had a very dull "realistic" look to it which worked on many levels but once you go and explore the very vivid and alive world of the expansion it's a hard adjustment to go back. My particular favorite moment in that expansion was the quest that put you inside of an oil based painting. Very unique and fun.
