Whilst the debate rages on over the fairness of having to pay for additional content to feed your rampaging Oblivion addiction, Bethesda has just revealed some interesting new information on the forthcoming ‘Thieves Den’ add-on for the game. Bethesda developer Ashley Cheng said, " Basically, it' s Goonies."

The mission charges you to take control of a cavernous lair, in which you will find an abandoned pirate ship. Hmm, sounds familiar! Once you have control of the ship and the cave, you can get together your own band of scurvy-ridden ne' er-do-wells and plunder for booty.

Bethesda also has a further additional six or seven downloadable add-ons planned, including an epic dungeon, which they will be releasing every three to four weeks. This is in addition to ‘proper’ expansions to Oblivion, which are also in the pipeline for later dates.
