Wow. What a DLC. THIS is what I would expect from an expansion to Oblivion. Knights of the Nine was alright, but it only added a handful of missions majority of which were fetch quests. But this, this was so much more.
The Shivering Isles oozed charm and felt like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Dementia and Mania were two halves of the same coin yet were unique in their presentations. It was the High Fantasy of Cyrodill on steroids and I was here for it. Story wise, I thought the DLC was solid enough. Some of the quests, specifically the ones you do for the dukes of dementia and mania felt like filler to me, but to each their own. The final boss against Jygallag was the culmination of my whole journey. It took me only 2 minutes after popping all my buffs you get from Knights of the Nine and using the summons you get from Shivering Isles. Quite easy, yet still satisfying. The knights of Order were sad, majority of the time I juked past them in the temples without fighting a single one. It was fine.
A great capstone adventure for Oblivion. Overall this game was great, I'm glad I finally experienced what it had on offer. Janky moments aside, it truly was an adventure.
