On Steam: A Painful Amount Of Cheap Elder Scrolls Content

Get all of Morrowind and Oblivion--seriously, all of it--for an absurdly low price.

How much would you pay for the third and forth entries in the Elder Scrolls series, Morrowind and Oblivion? What if they threw in every single expansion released for those games, from Morrowind's Tribunal and Bloodmoon to Oblivion's Shivering Isles and notorious Horse Armor pack?

If you answered "$28.19," then get thee to Steam--the service has an "Elder Scrolls Game of the Year Deluxe Pack" special going on that includes every piece of content for both of those already mammoth releases, for less than half the price of a new retail game. For those of you looking for a way to stretch your gaming dollar in this still-tough economy, I can't think of a higher price-to-value ratio anywhere right now. Throw in the incredible number of mods released for both games over the years and you may never need to buy another game again.

And when you get done with all that questing, you could spend your time making videos like this!

Shit, I might have to get this for the Morrowind expansions alone! I have most of (the important) Oblivion expansions, but this is a great deal.

Oh wait, this has the FULL games as well?! There is no way I can pass this up.

I'm not interested in Oblivion expansions, and I've already got the expansions for Morrowind.  Nice deal though.

Totally worth it. Until you can get mods on consoles, the PC will always be my place for Bethesda games.

I have the GOTY for my old XBox, but Oblivion would be tempting...

And apparently dominoes aren't allowed in my country.

When it tells you you have to install something that is a gigabyte in size, is that really necessary to use Steam, or can you just skip that part?

I briefly played oblivion on 360, and for some reason I didn't enjoy it. It's the kind of game I should like, but I just couldn't get into it. But at those prices, I'm considering giving it another shot. Maybe if I play for more than a couple of hours I'll break through a barrier and I'll get into it. Well the offer lasts for a few days, so I don't have to decide right away.

Even at full price Oblivion is worth it for the hours of gameplay it has this is just a huge steal at this price.

The only value that comes close to this is the orange box being only 20 bucks.  Man, Valve and steam really know how to give people great deals.  No wonder Gamestop hates these fools.  They are selling games at cheap and no having to deal with crappy store employees.

I was JUST NOW thinking that they should do this. I just completed Fallout 3 on my PC and was thinking about digging out my old copy of Morrowind and starting a hunt for the expansions online. Seems like my problem is solved. Fantastic !

Eh, I think everyone's exaggerating over this deal it's a 3 year old game that's already going for $19.99 Canadian (for GOTY), the PC version lacks achievements, and Morrowwind is even older.

The price is okay...

I guess it's time to get into Oblivion then, especially with all that content.

Even though I still own the 360 version, I never got any DLC plus the fact it'll run much better = me a happy camper.

Awesome! I was actually thinking of loading up Oblivion on 360 again but was holding off because of the loading times. Going to buy this right now.

All we have to pay is the exchange rate, and the cdn dollar was at 91 cents....not sure what premium you're paying.

Account-linked purchases are the way of the future, and I bet Gabe Newell knew that. I'm glad Steam is the company that leads in this sort of tech.

It's good that gaming stores hate Steam. I hope Gamestop dies. I looked at their product catalog: they use the same kind of stupid, sensational advertising style that penis creams and police radars you see in the back of some magazines. It's clear that instead of caring about video games, they prey upon whims of customers to increase sales.

Edit: Quick grammar fix.
