So I decided to finally buy SI after Microsoft put all Oblivion content 50% off this week. I also got KOTN as well, which I beat over the past two days. Now on to SI!! I am so excited and I will give you my thoughts on it as I go along.

SI was pretty fun,I guess. A lot of people complained that it really broke so lore, but since I'm stoopid I don't know what it broke.

It didn't break lore much. Oblivion's the real culprit there.

It's good fun though.

projecting unto your synapses the distorted vision from behind the eyes of
corporate contrivances pleading between their cold metal fingers for control
which in your advertisement-enslavement you repay tenfold whilst the world
spirals into oblivion around your desensitized body and in this cacophonous
euphoria we all die and we all die alone.

i loved Si, lore broken or not... but the only bad thing is once you get past a certain point in the MQ, you cant leave untill you finish it. its so fun though, have a good time with it.

Well, it really is kinda hard for the people that actually made the world to break the lore... Pretty much whatever they make becomes lore. Anyone notice that in both Morrowind and Oblivion, there are two expansion packs, one that is small and adds a small place plus a quest or two, and one that is a big-ass island and adds a whole bunch of stuff, including smiths that make armor?

Dammit, Vanir...... I had an awesome daydream of me and Anne Hathaway on a private island. And then in the daydream you came in and murdered her, then asking for my hand in marriage.

That would be true if they had the same people working for them.....

Bethesda should never had let MK leave their humble home. What I mean is that rather than use him as a mere "person who writes some things but isn't officially working for them", he should be their main [censored]ing lore writer, or whatever the hell they call it.

what was your favorite side? its probly gonna be divided between the heavy and light armor users but im still interested. whats your favorite side? ... and when you were doing the quests, which side did you favor?

for me it was the Dark Seducers... very evilish and dark... plus i knew what some of the rewards were before picking. hehe, guidebook comes in handy.

I always use light armor, but I prefer Dementia.

Sheogorath told me to go to Xedilian, so I'm off there. I completed all of the side quests in Crucible I believe.

Shogorath is by far my favourate character in the entire game.

First he's Scottish and has a fantastic Scottish accent.

Second, he's got a beard.

Third, he's the only character that actually makes me laugh.

The Shivering Isles is a great add-on, its really given the guys at Bethasda a chance to let their imaginations run wild. Its rare to find an add-on thats actually worth the money you pay for it.
Yes, I am a biscuit. Who is eternally burnt. And who drinks blood.

So?
