There are a couple of things to mention from this article, but firstly, let's talk about the PS3 version of Elders Scroll IV: Oblivion which was recently announced to be getting a GOTY Edition which will include Shivering Isles straight in the box. Many people have wondered whether those that have the normal edition will be able to play it, and we've got confirmation courtesy of the Bethesda Blog that it will be purchasable, either via the PSN or on a separate disc.

Secondly, the last piece of downloadable content (for the PC and XBOX360 versions) created for Oblivion will be releasing on Monday, and to make it even better, it will actually be free... but only for a week. Details on the content being revealed are also given:

Defeat the attacking marauders and become lord of Battlehorn Castle. Located in the Colovian Highlands west of Chorrol, this expansive castle will allow you to live the life of a noble warrior, with private quarters, grand dining hall, wine cellar, barracks, training room and more. And what castle would be complete without a few hidden passages and dark secrets?

Features:

  • A fully detailed castle for you to explore
  • Knights of the True Horn patrol the castle and do your bidding
  • Secret treasure vault
  • Upgrade the furnishings in every area of the castle
  • Hire a vintner to create special wines to enhance your fighting abilities
  • Hire a combat trainer to spar with
  • Hire a taxidermist to craft lifelike trophies for your great hall
  • Purchase an ancient Dwemer Forge that buffs your Armorer skill

    Just in case anyone was wondering or happened to already know, there was a rumor of a similar plug-in before called Dragonfire Castle:

    MONDAY? *bleep*

    Why am I always away when cool stuff comes out? Well, it is free for a week (would that be Five, or 7 days?)...

    I hope it is the latter (Seven days), since I probably won't get back before Saturday (next saturday, not the one coming up)...

    This is exactly what I need, to get me playing Oblivion again

    Course, this means no more Dupe glitch (at least, not with bows and arrows)...

      That's why we still have the scroll dupe glitch to fall back on.
