You play the role of you in this expansion to oblivion...are you ready to be you or will you have to step in?
So with the gameplay out of the way it is time to throw a arrow to the knee of the story and look at what this is all about before it takes effect. The mian plot of this expansion takes place on the Shivering Isles which is ruled by the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath. Now these daedric princes can be a bit of a handfull and through out the main game you will or should i say you could be doing some very strange things for them...This is no differant. The realm is divided into two sections, Mania and Dementia, both of which have different characteristics in the art and design. The player enters the realm as an event called the Greymarch, in which the Daedric Prince of Order, Jyggalag, completely destroys the Shivering Isles, is about to occur. Upon entering the realm, the player has access to only one area of the Shivering Isles, called the Fringe. To gain access to the other areas, the player must defeat a creature called the Gatekeeper. Before entering the other areas, the player is summoned for an audience with Sheogorath.
Why has Sheogorath summoned you well its simple he wants you to be his champion and help him stop the event from occurring. To do this you must go off and do various quests.
Sheogorath's and the player's attempts to stop the Greymarch ultimately fail. Sheogorath then transforms into Jyggalag, by then revealed to be his alter-ego, and disappears. As the player defends the Court of Madness from the ensuing invasion of the forces of Order, Jyggalag himself appears and attacks the player. The player defeats Jyggalag, and the Greymarch stops. Jyggalag then explains to the player that, when the Daedric Princes were creating their own lands, his power and the rapid expansion of his realm caused the other princes to become fearful and jealous, prompting them to curse him with madness, changing him into Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness. Since Daedra are subject to a reincarnation cycle, Jyggalag/Sheogorath was doomed to relive the Greymarch at the end of each era, after which Jyggalag would once again be transformed into Sheogorath. After explaining this history, Jyggalag thanks the player for breaking the cycle and dubs him/her the new Sheogorath, Prince of Madness and ruler of the Shivering Isles. What did i tell you crazy or what....
The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles first came out on the Xbox 360 and Windows in March 2007 and in November 2007 for the PlayStation 3.
If you have oblivion but you have not yet played this expansion pack then maybe you should have a look at it. This adds alot on what you can do ontop of the already crazy amount of stuff already in oblivion.
