Oblivion collector's edition impresses

By Christopher Grant

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is getting close. Bethesda Softworks released the packaging art and details of both the regular and collector's editions. The regular version will feature:

  • One DVD, no more, no less.
  • 48-page manual
  • a nice-looking map... ooh, this is gonna be big!

The Collector's Edition will add:

  • Different packaging (pictured) which reminds me a lot of the Lord of the Rings special edition DVDs.
  • A bonus DVD featuring the usual screenshots, renders,
    etc., but it also features a making-of documentary. Check out the trailer!
  • A collectible coin (a Septim).
  • A 112-page "Pocket Guide to the Empire."

It sounds like the guys at Bethesda have really gone above and beyond here...

... but wait! There's more! Bethesda have also posted a very in depth (I'm starting to see a pattern here) Q&A session with fans. If you were hoping you could see your legs in first-person, you might want to sit down.

You can't. But we're sure there's something else in their to please you.

(Update: EBGames lists the price for the regular version at $60 and the Collector's Edition at
$70.)
