    For what you’re paying, you’d expect this expansion to have one-sixth the content of the original game, but it strays far from delivering on this assumption. Still, if you’re desperate for more to do, letting the Knights of the Nine rest in peace has its short-lived rewards.

    The beauty of the game, as well as the depth of the immersion and the fun of the gameplay, is still here in abundance. Knights of the Nine is an essential addition for any Elder Scrolls fan.

    Given your avatar's snazzy new wardrobe, base of operations, minions and the righteous euphoria associated with being a force for good, The Knights of the Nine is well worth the 800 Microsoft points.

    While Knights of the Nine is a pricey piece of downloadable content, it's highly recommended for diehard Oblivion fans. Casual players who have yet to unlock all 1,000 Achievement points from the core game should hold off on buying new content until they've run out of things to do.

    A whole new faction - and a memorable one at that - is a decent return on your cash. [Feb 2007, p.65]

    Knights of the Nine isn’t in the same league as stellar Morrowind add-ons like "Tribunal" and "Bloodmoon" but any fresh reason to revisit the world of Oblivion once again is all right by us.

    If more of the same is what you're after, you can't really argue with what Bethesda's served up for its hardcore fans.

    Best Live download EVER. 800 points ($10), and worth every last penny. If you like Oblivion at all, you MUST get this.

    The KotN expansion for Oblivion is great fun,while it lasts. The new items are very nice and are ideal for heavy armoured/paladin characters. The KotN expansion for Oblivion is great fun,while it lasts. The new items are very nice and are ideal for heavy armoured/paladin characters. My main criticism is that it doesn't last very long at all, a couple of hours at the most. If you already have the other official mods then the retail box set is not worth the money but personally, I think the $10 (for the download version) is worth it for the fun few hours you'll have playing through the quests and swish new items you receive for finishing them.… Expand
