Citadel of Madness is a mod for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion that has been around for over a decade. Originally uploaded to TESAll in 2013, it received a significant update in 2022 with a 2.0 release. The mod introduces a new landmass above the Shivering Isles, a floating archipelago inhabited by hundreds of new NPCs. Players can embark on a new questline within this unique setting, which the mod’s description claims is as lengthy as any guild questline in Cyrodiil.
Created by modder Lariatius, Citadel of Madness was recently translated into English by Vorians, who has also worked on other Russian mods. The mod features a total of 38 quests, with 15 being sidequests, offering players more than 25 hours of gameplay. With over 3,000 lines of dialogue, new alchemical ingredients, dungeons, enemies, and bosses, this mod brings a wealth of content to Oblivion.
Players can expect a quirky and whimsical experience in Citadel of Madness, with new NPCs that resemble characters from the Monster Factory. To start the questline, players must be at least level 18 and travel to a watchtower located north of New Sheoth in the Shivering Isles. Installing the mod requires downloading the files from Nexus Mods, totaling nearly 900 MB. Additionally, owning the Shivering Isles expansion is necessary to enjoy this mod.
For those interested in diving into the world of Citadel of Madness, the mod offers a fresh and extensive gameplay experience that expands upon the original Oblivion game. With its unique setting, captivating quests, and diverse content, this mod is a must-try for fans of The Elder Scrolls series looking for new adventures in Tamriel.
