It's a rare thing that an expansion eclipses the game it is adding to, but The Shivering Isles easily bests Oblivion with its dreamlike aesthetic and everyone trying so hard to out-crazy everyone else. Dare you risk your sanity by listening to Sheogorath's obviously fake Scottish accent?
TheGamer Writes "It’s not often we get to attend parties in The Elder Scrolls. After we slay Alduin and thwart his attempts to eat Nirn in Skyrim, we’re thrown back into the snowy wastes, and after Mehrune Dagon is shoved back into the Deadlands to… kind-of-die, the best we get is a pat on the back from the Blades."
It was a great quest and the sad part is they NEVER did some sort of "spiritual successor" like quest in Skyrim. Made no sense to me.
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.
Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!
Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.
Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.
I'd also add in Horizon The Frozen Wilds. As I started it, I wasn't sure I had the energy, but my God that was awesome. Some of the best weapons, enemies and missions in Horizon for sure.
Blood and Wine is always the reason these "best DLC of all time" list gets made in the first place nowadays.
Don't think CDPR can come any where near with any upcoming CP2077 DLC.
I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.
We explore the 5 best Elder Scrolls: 4 Oblivion mods out there, as we all know Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls game out there...
If in the Kvatch Rebuilt mod you could have the castle as a player house as the castle and became the Count of Kvatch. That would have been epic.
One of the ‘pipe dreams’ I’ve toyed with is getting into the actual modding scene. However with all the other projects going on, there’s not been the time. That being said, these essential mods are often enough anyway!
I really loved reading this article although I really have to disagree with you about Oblivion needing mods. I've never used mods, or felt that I needed to and I have played it through numerous times.
Either way we can both agree Shivering Isles was better that Oblivion, whether you use mods or not.
Great article. Oblivion needs an entire overall to remove all of its suck.
