Which DLC Should I Play First? – Oblivion Remastered

Story DLC Order:

  • Story DLC 1: Knights of the Nine

It’s generally recommended that you finish “Knights of the Nine” first among the two major DLC stories. This is because “Knights of the Nine” can be completed prior to embarking on the main story, giving you a chance to strengthen your character before you dive headfirst into the main quest.

Although the Knights of the Nine is classified as an expansion, it surprisingly immerses you into the region of Cyrodiil by making its main quest take you to numerous spots scattered across the map.

If you’re not keen on finishing “Knights of the Nine” before the main storyline, feel free to start it whenever you like by simply heading to the Chapel of Dibella, which is located in Anvil, nestled on the northwest corner of your game map.

  • Story DLC 2: The Shivering Isles

The Shivering Isles serves as an intriguing late-game expansion for those who have finished the main story and the Knights of the Nine. While it’s technically possible to begin exploring the Shivering Isles immediately after completing the tutorial in Oblivion Remastered, most players prefer to save it until they’ve progressed further in their journey.

This additional game content is widely recognized as one of the greatest expansions ever created, and rightly so. It’s definitely a wise move to ensure your character is fully developed before venturing eastward, as it’s more than worth the wait.

To begin the “The Shivering Isles” expansion in “Oblivion Remastered”, you should initially wait for about 24 hours within the game. After this waiting period, a peculiar door will manifest on an island located in Niben Bay, east of Bravil. The quest “A Quest in Niben Bay” will then appear in your journal, which marks the beginning of the DLC’s storyline. Make your way to the strange door, and you’ll officially embark on the journey for “The Shivering Isles”.

Additional DLC Best Order:

In the extra content for Oblivion Remastered, the focus is on the game’s diverse guilds rather than following a specific order to complete them. Instead, your personal playstyle and the guild(s) you’ve allied with will dictate the sequence. Here’s a rundown of the guilds linked to each DLC.

  • The Fighter’s Stronghold – The Fighter’s Guild
  • Spell Tomes – This adds content that is most beneficial to the Mage’s Guild
  • Vile Lair – content most beneficial to Dark Brotherhood
  • Mehrune’s Razor ˆ- weapon coveted by the Dark Brotherhood
  • The Thieves’ Den – The Thieves Guild
  • Wizard’s Tower – Mage’s Guild home content
  • The Orrery – special quest to enhance one attribute, while decreasing another
  • Horse Armor Pack – does this need an introduction at this point? Provides armor for your horse.
