Every citizen on the island is a subject of one of Lord Sheogorath's lieutenants, either the Duke of Mania or the Duchess of Delirium and as such, each manifests a different form of insanity.

It helps that characterization is much stronger in Shivering Isles than it was in the main game, which gives players a reason to care about what they're doing. By the time the player finishes the main quest line, they'll have committed the nicest murder in human history, made a man's heart explode with pleasure, robbed a grave, built a monster, and betrayed almost everyone they've met on the island. I will admit to losing the thread of this quest for a while because of how much I was enjoying just running around and hurting people at random. Later the player has to uncover a conspiracy against Syl, the Duchess of Delirium, by escorting around a court inquisitor and helping them torture the citizens of the town.

Naturally the player also gets a chance to do this with a poor unfortunate party once the area is repaired, and it marked some of my most enjoyable experiences in the game. Early on in the main quest, Lord Sheogorath asks the player to reactivate one of his favorite 'recreational sites.' This turns out to be an elaborate deathtrap for adventurers in which the mad god can watch them run through his maze and push buttons that either drive them insane or outright kill them. In terms of sheer complexity, it easily rivals the best quests of the original game and it far surpasses them in sheer fun. This main storyline is Shivering Isles' greatest strength. This naturally includes a long, involved quest and lots and lots of killing. When they get to the other side, they'll be on the Shivering Isles, another plane of existence that's described as the 'physical manifestation of the Madgod's delirium,' enlisted to help end the eternal conflict between Order and Chaos. Shivering Isles doesn't open up any new lands within the original Oblivion world, but instead places a bizarre Daedric warp gate outside the town of Bravil and invites mortal champions through it to offer their assistance to Sheogorath, the Daedric 'Lord of Madness.' Since everyone who has gone through the gate so far has come back as a gibbering, violent lunatic, this will naturally be an irresistible challenge to players.

On the other hand, as an 'official' addition to Oblivion that was created around the game's original design, it does highlight some of the weaknesses that subsequent mods had removed.

On the one hand, it's the mother of all content additions to the game, adding tons of great new stuff to see and do. That made playing Bethesda's own Shivering Isles a unique experience.

Even better, the game's mod friendliness meant that the experience only got better as mod authors did everything from re-working the game UI to creating new monsters, locations, items and quests to actually overhauling the very basis of the game's design.

Oblivion was full of so many interesting things to see, quests to solve, monsters to fight and resources to gather that players could - and did - lose months of time exploring every inch of it. As an RPG, it stands out not only for the beauty and sheer power of its graphic engine but also for the breadth of the world it offered gamers. I really enjoyed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
