Agreed! Chaka ZG, if there is any way you can get it, the SI expansion is definitely worth the investment (both its price and the time that can be sunk into it). While waiting for the latest Skyrim patch, I started playing Oblivion again for the first time in a few years. I just finished the SI main quest a few days ago, and there is a TON of stuff in the Isles that I still haven't got around to. I think I've explored maybe fifteen percent of the landmass, and that's probably a high estimate lol.

In addition, the SI DLC has some of the most interesting lore and entertaining dialogue ever heard in a game IMO. Besides, if you don't buy it, Sheogorath will pluck out your eyes.

Maybe I should bite the bullet and find a way of getting it. I did notice my legs are lately looking like chicken drums..

EDIT: lol sorry OP for this diversion, my cat talked me into it.

Yeah. Hes awesome. The only reason I dislike siding with the stormcloaks is because I have to kick him out of his town. Hes a great jarl. Should have just taken the axe.

Ah, I'm sorry. I wouldn't have typed all that stuff about SI had I realized it was so difficult to find now. Well, it's not as fun as playing though it yourself, but if you're interested in the story or hearing the NPCs say hilarious things, there might be a good "Let's Play" on youtube. (I know that's a lame suggestion, but sometimes I watch those just to hear quest dialogue that I missed - some of the LPs are quite good.)

Anyway I hope you are able to find it somehow eventually.

No problem, I appreciate your concern.

The only way I know of to get Shivering Isles now is to buy the Game of the Year edition off of Steam or the 5 year anniversary edition from Retail (if they still have it in stock).

Can you really take peoples' heads off?

I also love what Danica says to his wife, i got this once. "Now, now, my friend. You must look on the bright side. If soldiers storm the city, there's a good chance your husband may get killed.".

I'm surprised to see a little hatred for Cicero.. in the short time I've killed the guy I've become slightly guilty for doing so. I've decided from now on that I'm going to spare him simply because

There are NPCs out there that I kill, but there's honestly no one NPC other than the Thalmor that I really hate.. I only brawled stone-fist once. I don't like the Battle-Borns in Whiterun, I actually tend to like the Gray-Manes more because they come off to me with a cooler attitude. I've started to kill people with the Ebony Blade that I don't really care for but no one I really actually hate. I'm also a little surprised to see hate for Brynjolf, he's one of my favorite Theives Guild members, but I can't deny my hatred for Maven Black-Briar.. one reason why I don't side with the Legion is because I don't want her as Jarl.

I suppose in my time playing the game, I've grown accustomed to just ignoring every NPC I don't need to really interact with.. that might be one reason why I hold no real hatred for any one NPC.
