Happy to have you here man 🫶

[@Ghost_PM11]

The best expansion Bethesda ever made. Sheogorath is my favorite kind of person.

[@vespertine799]

best expansion anyone ever made.

[@DarinM1967]

Nice touch with the butterflies, brought me back to the first time I entered the Shivering Isles.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

I started my TES journey with Morrowind, so when Oblivion came along, I missed the exoticism that I loved so much in Morrowind. Shivering Isles brought back that exoticism, and is by far my favorite place in Oblivion (both the game and the realm)!

[@madgod6693]

I will never forget that one playthrough where I took the Mania road to New Sheoth and, at night, between the night sky, and those golden wisps, and Auriel's Ascension playing, I experienced one of the most beautiful moments possible in gaming.

[@jakegriffith6871]

Wild to me that the Hero of Kvatch is canonically both the Divine Champion and the Prince of Madness

[@Angelikatosh]

Gold medal in multitasking 🥇

[@no.no.4680]

I was thinking about elder scrolls ALL DAY yesterday. Good timing.

[@Malryth]

Another great video from you. I love those butterfly's in your hair for this one. Nice touch.

[@Angelikatosh]

Thank you! This was all pre-planned of course 🦋😌

[@Kodiak42]

I was on this video faster than some guy's house I'm not supposed to be in

[@ChillGamer365]

Congrats on reaching 70,000 subs, I really enjoy and appreciate your videos and wish you continued success in making content that you are clearly passionate about. It is so nice to see someone that is genuine and authentic doing something they enjoy, it really comes across in each one of your videos, love it and thank you!

[@igotmeeseeks677]

i cant believe in just 9 months how wildly popular your channels gotten! feels like it was only yesterday only a few thousand of us were watching the clothing of oblivion. to the secunda and beyond!

[@wanderer977]

So many memories😢 thank you Angelika, your voice is incredible

[@CoffeeSnifferz]

My first Elder Scrolls experience was Morrowind on the original Xbox with the duke controller. I spent hundreds of hours exploring each and every corner and still did not discover everything there was to see. When Oblivion came out, I didn't have an xbox 360. I worked, but unfortunately every check was taken by my mother. When my birthday came around, a few of my close friends surprised me with an xbox 360 and a stack of games. One included of course was Oblivion. Even though Oblivion seemed limited in character freedom compared to Morrowind, I noticed the world and adventure freedom that kept me hooked for over 10 years. Many fond memories. They dont make games like this anymore.

[@TealTunic]

Great video, Angelika. Keep up the good work. 👍❤

[@Lachance_IV]

I love your video ideas so much.

[@IntergalacticFunk]

Love the interpretation of the time-sliding in the Isles, I hadn’t considered it

[@wesleya7684]

Girl, this video was wonderful, I only came to play Oblivion a few years ago, I always thought the graphics were a little dated, but I realized how foolish I was, I liked the base game but the DLC The Shivering Isles was something special, you described very well the feeling of seeing that world for the first time, you feel unsettled but at the same time amazed by the beauty of this strange world

[@PhillipRubio578]

"Some guy's house you shouldn't be in" yes finally someone points that out

[@syoudipta]

So beautiful and haunting a place i was too scared to visit on my later play throughs. One of the best DLCs ever.

[@therobotFrom94]

I'll never forget the first time I played Shivering Isles. I spent a solid chunk of time just staring at the night sky it was so captivating

[@brianwalsh9984]

You have an amazing voice. I could listen to you talk for hours!

[@petrzacharias6622]

I remember first time I entered shivering isles. Walls that changed into butterflies. It was really magical to me. Its strong memory. :D

[@exvoctur]

Nice touch with those butterfly pins. ❤️

[@StoneHill777]

Great content, so entertaining and well done. You did an awesome job. I'm looking forward for news videos about the Elder Scrolls lore.

[@Garrett0329]

My absolute favorite god in Elder Scrolls lore! I would love to play a spin off game centered at just him. ❤😊

[@lorvaton]

Such a nice video :) I didn't remember much about the shivering isles but this brought me back :)

[@Angelikatosh]

Time to replay Oblivion!

[@danm3570]

good timing, just bet the gatekeeper yesterday and entered the area in my first playthrough ever

[@Mysticpaw]

Shivering isles is the best expansion I've ever played. Good video!

[@fifteens6337]

It's been so long since I played tis game and these vids are a welcome trip down memory lane. Love your story telling and lore deep dives! Awesome channel!

[@SVNG77]

This is THE best Elder Scrolls DLC thanks for doing this one

[@more17]

Very cool video! Re: the Shivering Isles and time, eras in Tamriel/Nirn and the Shivering Isles are actually measured differently. While the measurement of eras in the former are arbitrary and linked to major historical events (ex. establishment and fall of the Septim dynasty), an era in the Isles lasts exactly 1,000 years. The evidence for this comes from the in-game book "The Predecessors" by Yngvar the Wanderer. Yngvar correctly predicts the Greymarch to occur within this period due to researching the ruins all around the realm, and if you meet him while wandering around he tells you the end is coming soon (unless you meet him after beat the main quest, in which case he's surprised the end never came).

[@lemonlefleur6236]

I eagerly await the overview and lore on Oblivion Sewers. The mystic allure of the practically endless maze beneath the White Gold Tower.

[@EcardEcardian]

Shivering Isles was a good DLC.

[@jasondemagio4449]

Really enjoying these deep dives on various aspects of the elder scrolls. You touched on it a little in your video about Art in Oblivion, but I’d be interested in a video exploring the various different forms of religion, worship and belief throughout the series

[@destructiveraider]

You never fail to deliver high-quality content. And look amazing while doing it. Keep up the stellar work!

[@richter0139]

You have renewed my interest in the Elder Scrolls and made me wonder what else is there besides the video games :)

[@vetax5038]

Hi! Could you please do a “staying in Skyrim lowest / highest rated Inns” You’re the only KZbinr I consistently watch as it’s always got a nostalgic feel.

[@lpaforever7438]

Every time i hear or see something about the shivering isles, i can’t help but think of the relation between Mania/Dementia and the Bipolar condition in real life (where a person alternates from states of mania/hipomania and depression). Great video 🩵

[@joonashapponen6231]

Good stuff. I was a teenager angst boi when playing this game so the darker content of the Shivering Isles were my favourite thing ever.

[@Chamomileable]

Another great video. Shivering Isles, to me, is the last true great "expansion pack" before the age of DLC and such. Truly awesome. Still recommending Arx Fatalis, as it hits a lot of the same notes that Elder Scrolls does and was actually originally going to be Ultima Underworld 3! I think you'd enjoy it a lot (if you haven't already played it)

[@maxgoss5653]

This video is gonna make me finally play shivering isles for the first time even tho I’ve been playing oblivion for years. Sweetroll for fimmion, pants for you.

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

Sometimes i truly believe i belong in the shivering isles. Everyone is a bit off but I totally get it. Id fit right in

[@AKisHerceg]

"Gal bursten it."

[@icaagent69]

“Fribble, just fribble”

[@RodgerSkelton]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="716">11:56</a> I’d also say the palace itself looks like Jyggalag, with the spiked domes at the top looking like his face.

[@lonelybiscuit4886]

This has got to be the best DLC in any game I've ever played, even though exploring it was terrifying to child-me

[@calciumman5545]

I think that the Shivering Isles has very similar vibes to morrowind in the sense of it being a strange and weird place with fantastical flora and fauna. As a fan of Morrowind, this take on the shivering isles was very much appreciated!

[@tripleabattery2914]

crazy that I was thinking of ole shiggy earlier. parking my ass down to listen to my second favorite daedric prince's realm🩷

[@Angelikatosh]

Get comfy ☕️

[@amnesiac-original]

Yet another great video 💚💚💚

[@mpg272727]

I've always liked to think that Daedric realms are set outside of Mundus and outside of time and space itself and the only thing that connects the two is a linear time, but outside the timelines being connected Daedric Realms are unaffected by the goings on outside of them and are for all intents and purposes a separate reality

[@FourEyedFrenchman]

The Saints & Seducers remind me a lot of the Fish Speakers from the later Dune books. Matriarchal, fanatic in their devotion, highly trained and disciplined, and very effective soldiers and police.

[@RebelCannonClub74]

I was reading Dante's Inferno at the time Shivering Isles came out and thought that the extra emphasis on going underground all the time was a slight reference to it. Oblivion dungeons often go underground to, but you're essentially in sunken cities or bunkers to protect against dragons. Shivering Isles feels more alive underground than it does upstairs and Sheograth is essentially a demon. One thing I always found curious were the Grummites, which are not deadra. I read a theory that the Grummites were originally from Nirn but stumbled into or were invited into the Isles by Sheogrorath to amuse himself. Because Sheogorath is one of the eldest demon princes (he invented music) the Grummites are proably prehistoric and are extinct in Nirn.

[@HappyCucco.]

It’s been over a decade since i last visited this realm! But i oft visit it in my mind.. that is until the mad prince comes to haunt my dreams. He is so paranoid and thinks I’m able to bring some of his precious greenmote through the fabric of realm’s 😌

[@ReachTea]

I've watched enough of your videos that I now am installing Oblivion for the first time 🥇 Thinking about playing it in an authentic resolution 😶

[@stevenstone307]

By the Gods, I love this channel

[@glace_]

I love the shivering isles for it's difference to Cyrodiil, but I have to say Cyrodiil itself will always be the more enticing location to me - something about the atmosphere feels much more alluring. That being said, neither would be quite as good without the option to experience the contrast.

[@joyconboyzforever8117]

I loved the shivering isles man. It's easily the best expansion of any game. Makes me want to replay oblivion again 😀

[@dana_t0ebdot]

Yeah, the shivering isles also left a great impression on me

[@thehonoredone2361]

As much as I love the shivering Isles. Favorite realm has to be Apocrypha. Hope you cover it sometime in the future.

[@hydra1396]

My favorite questline/expansion in video games

[@DarkLOREDash]

Verdant landscapes & forests? What a lovely way to describe Cyrodiils setting.

[@gabrielgomez3556]

I think You would love Baldurs Gate 3. Cool video as always :D

[@CoolBob444]

Another fantastic video, I reckon I would alternate between Bliss and Crucible if I lived in in New Sheoth, I would want to experience both lifestyles and all the aspects to it, Bliss is vibrant and fun but overstimulating, were as Crucible can be depressing and sometimes brutal but also melancholic and beautiful in its own way. If I were to compare the different sides of The Shivering Ilses to music I would say that the mania side reminds me of bands like Gryphon and Gentle Giant were as the dementia side reminds me of bands like The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

[@cordelephant]

Angelika, you describe things so vividly and beautifully. Have you ever played d&d? Youd make a kickass DM 😅

[@knottheory79220]

Either Shivering Isles or Throne of Bhaal are the best expansions ever, and I'm not sure which.

[@chicanoman2999]

man, i just got this game on my steam deck, cant wait to play it all again

[@surfingowl9646]

You rock. More vids! Love it 😻

[@FreddyB41]

Wonderful video! Will you ever touch on the food in video games? Not asking for you to cook by any means, but a video where you talk about the diets and dishes of a specific region of Tamrielm (i.e. Skyrim)

[@MrKite_]

the shivering isles (or as me and my friends call it, islas locas) plus all of the FNV DLC's are at the top in RPG's imo

[@Okta808]

loved the shivering isles and sheodude

[@theunfortunategeneral]

Always drawn to Crucible. The slummy feel got to me. Felt diffrent from Bliss which reminded me about Cyrodiil.

[@archlittle6067]

I hope you feel better soon.

[@Vinnie-o2x]

Bring up to the channel the game of Fable. I always felt related to that game. It had brought me nostalgia, and melancholy in those days. Even today.

[@jrgarza1964]

I have Oblivion just sitting there... playing on Pc, but i just can't get the right controls, to work on controller. I've tried everything. I love the game, probably just going to have to use keyboard and mouse.

[@xleplex7070]

So what I’m hearing is the architecture and clothing is loosely based on Victorian England, and they called this land the shivering isles. Yep, that makes sense.

[@finisirae5500]

I wonder if the Sheogorat the Dragonborn meets in Skyrim is the player's character from Oblivion.

[@ShinigamiWolf]

The shivering isles is always fantastic to playthrough! Unless you're on shrooms....... Never doing that again 😅

[@HetNeSS]

I was evading crucible and all dementia side as a plague. It seemed like it's out of this world, and never should had existed in a first place

[@Alexandru1996_]

Unfortunatly i never got to experience the shivering isles, as i didnt have a computer capable of running oblivion at first, or a console, and when i had one it was prety late, i didn't have that much time to play anymore and i couldn't experience the entire game. I have to admit that i feel i should replay oblivion, though i don't know if i will be able to on my modern machine as i have a laptop with windows 11 which can run oblivion obviously but not sure about compatibility :) Tempting.

[@cryo2156]

Do you mind? I'm busy doing the fishstick! It's a very delicate state of mind!

[@Danceofmasks]

I may not like Oblivion as much as Morrowind or Skyrim, but ... the Shivering Isles was something special.

[@rico-fs1cr]

Will you actually record yourself making playthrough of Oblivion?

[@jamster8764]

Hey, just discovered your channel! You remind me of Miss Chalice but instead of Soulsborne you do Elder Scrolls.

[@willprot6752]

Opps called me a snowback, so I unleashed the Gray March on his entire plane of Oblivion. I’m him, I will continue to be him

[@_Brohan]

i wish the mind of Sheogorath was quite as beautiful in skyrim as the shivering isles.

I think I love you. Thanks from Italy ❤

[@OtherJosh89]

Always a pleasure 10/10 would recommend

[@Angelikatosh]

Thank you, please share it with anyone that likes cheese

[@Cardulionax]

Shivering Isles is the most beautiful thing on Xbox 360 and certainly in Oblivion.

[@Cynaephyra]

oblivion needs a remake. I love this game so much.

[@windhelmguard5295]

one important thing to note about the saints and seducer is that, even though they do appear to have males and females, they do not breed, none of the daedra do.

[@Christianths27]
