Tags: Bethesda Softworks; The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionGamerDad spent some time checking out Knights of the Nine. They go over each of the modules offered up in Bethesda's first expansion pack for Oblivion, ultimately giving it 3/5 stars. Here's a clip about the Mehrune's Razor mod:
Mehrune's Razor: Now *this* is a quest! A huge dungeon full of atmosphere and interesting areas and loads of enemies. Unfortunately it is also littered with every other problem that plagues Oblivion - scaled enemies, scaled drops and scaled chests. It is a sort of cognitive dissonance - you are working your way through a nicely designed and atmospheric dungeon that is mostly empty and contains a bunch of enemies that are easily defeated. All of this for a single excellent weapon and a decent armor set that you will probably just sell since you already have something better. I was very disappointed with this module - such a great dungeon full of possibilities left unrealized in a sea of scaled blandness. Had it presented an actual challenge and more than a minor reward it would have been worth purchasing by itself.
That kind of describes Oblivion in itself.
