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!

For those without a credit card:
Go to a grocery store, find the rack full of gift cards. There should be a Visa Gift card. Some have a set price, some can be custom set. They work exactly like Debit cards and can allow you to purchase things online without being of age or needing a card. I used to buy em all the time before I got my card.

Nice.

I already own Oblivion and Morrowind for the PC, but I don't have any of the expansion or DLC content. I'd buy them again for that price (okay, so I already did).

Wow that is a killer deal. I already own all of that but I am so Elder Scroll crazy that I may just buy it again for the convenience of having it all on Steam. Oh, and Brad you are totally right about the number of Mods out there for these games. With Morrowind alone you will never need to buy another game again. :)

I especially like the use of the Arena fan as a domino. That guy was so fucking annoying. I just told him to stay in the haunted mansion in some closet when i played through oblivion

@Mcfart: I guess I missed that, but also being on PC is another really big plus, yknow since I'm hoping for much better performance + mods that'll enhance the visuals even further.

Grabbed it. Made sure it was the Deluxe pack (not shown on my front page of steam.... though all the crappier ones were). Cheers for the heads up mate! Left my 360 oblivion back in another country that doesn't work on my current region xbox :O. This plus the expansions + morrowind + expansions. Downloadable anywhere anytime. Totally worth 28 bucks.

And Steam screws over the European costumers again. The price for me in Norway with current interest rates is almost twice what it is in the US. It's still a cheap-ish deal, but they still charge us way too much.
Not that I would buy this particular pack anyway though, got the games already.

Niiiiiice.  I already have Oblivion and all its plugins/expansions, but I've yet to play Morrowind yet.  Only thing is, I wonder if the Morrowind construction set and mods will work with the steam version.  Hopefully so.

No need for them to put Arena on there since it's already freeware on the Elder Scrolls website.  But it's too bad Bethesda lost the source code for Daggerfall way back, so we'll never be able to have a Steam version or any other version of that game released again.  Only way to get it is to buy an overpriced used copy on Amazon or Ebay somewhere, or to track it down on one of the few abandonware sites that has it.

I've seen that video a long time ago.  Not bad, though I've seen way more complex and impressive domino effect videos from Garry's Mod, BF2 Sandbox mod, and Crysis's Sandbox Editor.

I have oblivion for 360 but I only played a few hours of it. Damn steam making me want to pay for things I already own. It's a ridiculous deal for the play time you can sink into those games.

I should really get this on PC.  I have the Collector's Edition boxed copy, but it'd be nice to have it on steam.  Not to mention all of those expansions.  It'd be nice to have all of that on steam in one location rather than having to install everything off of 3-4 DVDs.


But i'm broke.  So I'll just pretend I didn't see that deal.

I'd be all over this if I hadn't already beaten the game entirely on both the PC and 360 already.

Finally. I was bummed out the game of the year edition didn't come with the DLC. $28.19 for all this stuff? That's crazy. 'S a shame though, that morrowind crashes every five minutes, otherwise I'd be all over this pack.

Even though I have all of this, it's making me want to buy it again. Which is horrible for me.

Damn... I still feel it's recent I got the game for PC - and I've already at that point waited months to find it to a decent price used.

I wonder though... does user-mods work with the steam-version of the game?
I'm pretty big on those.

Couldn't watch the vid, "not avaliable in your country due to copyright restrictions" O_o
I really don't understand what the continent specific copyright has to do with anything in this case....

Makes me wonder what the book is. Unabridged Brief History of the Empire, maybe?

Hmm. So, every comments section corresponds to a forum thread? Does that mean that if someone was (say) watching old Endurance Run videos, or Quick Looks, and decided to comment, that would result in a necrobump in the corresponding forum? If so, perhaps comments sections could be exempt from community disapproval. The alternative seems to be saying that people are not supposed to comment on old videos/etc... that seems like it would be very difficult to tell people about, and a weird restriction that isn't present on other websites.
