If wish us offline users could get it on disk.
Anyways I've been having fun with this game.
Although something weird did occur:
I was by the waterfront at night and the pirates drew their blades at me. That one Lex guy killed them all. So I looted their bodies and the ship. One of the (argonian)bums became suspend in mid-air during the fight. I thought they hung him at first but it simply turns out to be a bug. Until I left the town and came back........he would just walk around in mid air.
I hope those pirates didnt have any cool quests for me later on. Plus their bodies don't disappear....

Hey! It's my...awww...nevermind.
The screenshots for the new expansion look nice. Especially the last one. Anyone know what kind of creature that is? Hopefully there is a nice boss battle at the end of the new questline. Cool stuff.

So basically I got a free pirate cutlass.
I love some of the weapon and armor designs so far.

I'm gonna do a little pimping of my own upcoming mod; a guild of knights (not a religious bunch like Knights of the Nine), a dozen or so quests, lots of new areas and content (a new island, castle, village, dungeons, custom weapons and armor), all wrapped around a twisting storyline involving the old priory the knights reside in and the monks who were massacred there a long time ago.
I want to have this at least done in beta form by the time the official expansion is available.

im trying to play oblivion finally (YES I HELD OFF PLAYING IT FURTHERthis whole time once i found out about leveled content), but part of me is saying I should play through it as the designers intended.
For the record im using oscuros oblivion overhaul 1.31 and im getting my ASS KICKED by everything (Lol).
that and using oscuros reduces the choices of mods to check out by A LOT.

That looks really cool man. It's stuff like this that makes me wish I had the PC version.

Confidence Man that looks really great. Shame im on 360. Oh and Knights of the Nine isnt an expansion, unless you meant by the time a proper expansion arrives.
Did the PS3 version get delayed again? It was listed as a December release a couple of days ago, but now it's a January 1st release. Anybody know what's up?

ARGH! Same thing that happened to Demi happened to me.
I'm doing the The Spirits Have Lease.
Bought the house from guy
Got the note from broken jar
Talked to guy in King and Queen's tavern
Said Lift the Curse
Went to Count's Arms
He's not there!!!!!
Green Arrow points him to being in the middle of the room but as I walk to it the Green Arrow spins behind me, I guess the game thinks he should be there but he's not showing up. I tried waiting and leaving The Count's Arms and going back in, to no avail.
My last save is way back... suggestions?

I'm sorry but this must be a HUGE expansion if its going to give 12-20 more hours of gameplay...
Considering that games like Resistance is 12 hours.... And the original Oblivion if you just stick to the story line you can beat it in ~= 20 hours...
So i'm definitely pumped for the expansion.

So, is there any definitive answer on what version is superior? My brother is getting an Xbox 360 for Christmas and I could ask for that version or the PC version...I'm leaning towards the PC version for mods, but maybe I'm missing something about the Xbox 360 version...

Is Velwyn still back at King & Queens Tavern in Imperial city?
If he is, use 2 dialog topics 'Lorgren Benirus' and 'Lift the Curse'.
Then go to Anvil....'The Counts Arm's'...he takes a bit to get back....
I remember I went off for a walk and came back and he was there. I think he was upstairs for a while. He should turn up.
He's really slow even when he prompts you to follow him to the house.....hope that helps.

PC version will be up on Dec. 4. Right now it is available in stores only.
Does Xbox 360 version of KoTN include all previous downloadable contents like PC version?

I would download this but, I just picked up GOW, Marvel UA and will be getting Viva Piñata (Australian launch) and R6 very soon.
Plus so many good DS/GBA games coming out!
I will probably wait until after December when I have the time to make a new character and get stuck back into oblivion and the add ons.

So anyone play through the Knights? I thought it was good but not even close to 12 hours. More like a good three or four, and that's with getting stuck on a couple puzzles and do a lot of walking (I started a new game and had a more or less blank map). Definitely worth the download though.

There is no pop-up message, you just have to travel around the major towns and search for clues. It's part of the experience.
EDIT
A little review:
+ Great loot
+ Localization on par with the main game
+ The integration into the main game is absolutely seamless
+ Some really cool graphical effects and sights (won't spoil it)
+ The quests themselves are quite different from each other, it won't feel repetitive
+ You explore all of Cyrodiil and it feels almost as epic as the main quest
/ No new locations, but Bethsoft dug out some great looking places for you to visit, I didn't know some of them
- It's short, 5-6 hours for all of it
If you want to get everything out of your 800 MS points you shouldn't use fast travel and you should play it on the default difficulty and you will spend more than 5 hours on it. I kind of regret that I blew through it in 2 sessions.
I will play it again with my mage character and I won't use fast travel this time.
thanks for the review, Frenck. Disappointing that people are finding it to be only half the promised length. I started a new character - female custome knight - and will try to start the questline over the long weekend. I like that there's no announcement about it - I'm not sure where to start, and that's what I was hoping for. Makes it more of an adventure.
That's weird, MN lists this as available in "all XBox Live regions". Vark, Steve?chigiri said:Any word on when the extension pack will be released in the EU, specifically Scandinavian marketplaces? Please don't let this be another 2 month wait like quite a few of the previous DLCs.

Would love to hear something on a proper expansion pack and the other planned plug-ins.

Of course they have to release the KoTN pack the week I buy Final Fantasy XII. Ahh well, I won't DL it until FFXII is complete, which in fact should be a perfect time to jump back into Oblivion.
But yeah, I'm really hoping Bethesda will release a REAL expansion(on par with Morrowind's Tribunal and Blood Moon) next year.

No real progress yet for me. I didn't know where to start, so I did a dungeon and went north. A guard mentioned something about
That sounds new! Cool to see that Bethesda integrated this new questline into the overall world. I'll arrive in town tomorrow.
Ah, Oblivion. Will I ever quit you?

Do I have to be online to see the extra stuff? I never bought any of the add-ons because of that.

So...
X360 or PC version? I'm leaning to X360 because I prefer playing games on a console, lol.

Sorry to wake this awesome thread up with a question that has probably been asked a million times allready. I recently purchased a 360 and am only a few hours into the game but allready it has completely frozen 3 times and I have been forced to restart the machine. This is the only game that is locking up and it happens randomly while I am running around. Is this just something to expect with the 360 version and should I just get in the habit of saving all the time? Or is it something else? Bad disc? Overheating? Thanks GAF.

The game can freeze, but that's an abnormally high number of occurances. Have you logged onto Live and downloaded the patch? That helped the stability. Even without it, my game only crashed about a half dozen times in 300 hours of play. I'd say if it happens a few more times, take the disc back to where you bought it and demand an exchange.
Thanks for the reply. I think I downloaded the update, when I started the game for the first time live told me there was a patch and would have to restart to apply it. Is there a way I can verify I have all the updates available for the game? Other games have been taking my attention atm but as soon as the newness wears off and all the roomates and friends lose interest I want to settle down and really get into this game, and the freezing kinda kills it. I guess I will forever be saving all the time. =)

I'm with GhaleonEB. That sounds like an awful lot of freezes in a short period of time. I probably had 5-6 freezes total, pre-patch, and maybe one after. Have you cleared the cache just to be sure? Might be worth a try.
