Which DLC Should I Play First? – Oblivion Remastered
Story DLC Order:
It is widely accepted that, of the two main story DLCs,Knights of the Nineshould be completed first. This is becauseKnights of the Ninecan be completed even before you take on the main story, allowing you to build up your character even before you set out in earnest.
Despite the fact theKnights of the Nineis technically an expansion, it actually does a remarkable job of introducing you toCyrodiil,as the DLC’s main quest has you visiting various locations around the map.
If you do not wish to completeKnights of the Ninebefore the main story, you can begin it any time byvisiting the Chapel of DibellainAnvil,on the northwestern edge of the map.
The Shivering Islesis considered the late-game story expansion that players should tackle once they’ve completed the main story, and theKnights of the Nine.Technically, you can startThe Shivering Islesany time after completingOblivion Remastered’s tutorial, but the consensus among players is that it should be saved for later.
This DLC has gained a reputation as being one of the best expansions ever made, and for good reason. It is absolutely worth it to wait until you have thoroughly developed your character before making your way east.
To startThe Shivering IslesinOblivion Remastered,you’ll need to wait 24 in-game hours for the Strange Door to appear on the island in NIben Bay, east of Bravil. The “A Door in Niben Bay” quest will appear in your journal, which is the first quest of the DLC. Head to the Strange Door and you’ll be startingThe Shivering Islesin earnest.
Additional DLC Best Order:
The additional DLC that comes withOblivion Remasteredis centered around the game’s various guilds, so there is not a correct order to complete them in per se. What will be the determining factor is your playstyle, and the guild or guilds that you have aligned with. We will list the guilds that are associated with each DLC below.
