    Oblivion, storywise and complexity does not measure up to Morrowind, few guild quests, many in Morrowind, tiny epansion compared to Bloodmoon and Tribunal, forts and caves rather boring, I cant even levitate! Please keep the Morrowind high level of play with the improved conversations, that is the only improvement.

    Bethesda Softworks did an amazing job with this expansion. I've seen a lot of people complain about it, but what do you expect an expansion to be, an entirely new game? That would require them to release The Elder Scrolls V: (insert name here), which they have not done yet. It's an expansion; it expands on the original story with a great set of new options and features. I say, for everyone who liked oblivion check this out. You will not regret it. Expand

    I agree with Susie and I'll take it a step further and say that both games are inferior to daggerfall. Especially in scope, both Morrowind and Oblivion feel miniscule. And while Morrowind's expansions were nice, this downloadable junk for Oblivion is downright pathetic.

    I think its the best game ever between Morrowind(with Tribunal and Bloodmoon) and World of Warcraft.

    I bought that expecting a full expansion set, worth its money, just like Morrowind's expansions. In addition hoping that Bethesda will save at least a little of TES in this expansion. Well, they gave us some junk that fans do for free and a new "quest". Really, it's far below what fans do for free. And Bethesda for some badly made junk wants money. My comment is this word: pathetic.

    Awesome add on easily 40+ more hours of gaming to play with here for an amazing price. Adds new features to gameplay (spell tombs) new campaigns, items, homes. What more could an oblivion fan ask for?

    I think this game is even better than Morrowind. The storyline is shorter and makes more sense. You have easier ways to travel. In Morrowind you usually just wonder around searching everywhere for your location. Unlike Oblivion which guides you to where you want to go. This game has many more features and to me is much easier and better.

    This expansion shows extreme promise, but as many subsequent reviews will concede, it is entirely too short. This expansion presumably is aimed at seasoned players of Oblivion who are eager for new quests and not for new players who will be occupied for hours to come, so with that in mind the brevity of thie new quest is quite unnerving. Two leisurely evenings, perhaps 2 or 3 hours total is all it took to complete this quest. There are a few new models, but the areas and maps seem to be mostly recycled from existing Oblivion models and textures. The shear magnitude of the player's quest, which is to face a new demigod evil foe on par with Mehrunes Dagon (the existing bad guy in Oblivion) makes the the shortness and extreme ease of the quest seem all the more ludicrous. However, it did satiate my desire for more Oblivion, but only just barely. The scope of the storyline indicates a new facet of culture in Cyrodil, yet the populace seems unaware or unaffected by the presence of this new knightly order nor the danger posed by Umaril. Once you complete the quest, it's over and done with and no longer has any lasting significance for the overall game (take the lasting effect of the guild quests: guildmaster role, income, etc.) Bethesda really needs to put in overtime and produce expansions that don't nickel and dime their players $9.99 at a time. They should follow the model of Bioware and Neverwinter Nights, whose expansions were extremely creative, timely, and most importantly very long and occupying. Expand

    40+ hours on this expansion Danny - no offense but you must have got lost alot on the way. I think it took me about 8 tops and I am a stealth player.That said it was a fantastically fun 8 hours and really got me back into playing Oblivion. Great quests with variety and puzzles. Just left me wanting more, but what there is is fine

  1. But even with so much free material competing for the attention of Oblivion fans, Knights of the Nine offers a compelling package of polished content. [Mar 2007, p.64]
  2. It's not an adventure that's going to blow gamers away, but for hardcore Oblivion lovers like myself, it gives us an excuse to keep on playing!
  3. While Knights of the Nine certainly maintains a high quality of gameplay that you might be expecting, it just doesn't last long enough.
