8. Is this sorcerer king and his minions the new main villain of this expansion pack? What is his name and what is the story about why he is being such a thorn in the sides of the people of Oblivion?

Just to be clear, it's not an expansion pack. It adds another 10-20 hours of gameplay, but we still consider it more DLC...just really big DLC. Let's just say this guy was banished a long time ago (by the guy who's relics you go off to find) and when he gets back he's pretty pissed about his exile and looking for a little payback. He and the god's of Tamriel are not on good terms.

9. Much like Oblivion, where there was a main quest to follow, and you got an ending, does the same hold true for Knights of the Nine like after battling this sorcerer king?

Definitely.

10. The press release also talks about new massive dungeons. How massive are we talking about? Number of them and time it takes to walk through them?

They're pretty big, as big as some of the major ones you find in Oblivion. How long it takes to get through them really depends on playstyle, level of your character, and so on, but like I said before, probably somewhere between 10 and 20 hours to finish it all.

11. Besides the new faction and quests, the holy weapons and armor of the Divine Crusader seem like the other real big draw. What types of weapons can players receive and armor? Because since Elder Scrolls is all about playing the way you want, not everyone uses the same weapon sets or armor in the game. Will there be new weapons and armor for every player? Light armor, heavy armor, etc? What is the graphical style and look of these new weapons and armor?

The relics you set off to find are the armor and weapons of the holy crusader. Very cool stuff. Same stuff you see on the guy in the OPM cover. We'll have a wallpaper of that guy up soon. When NPCs come to join your faction, they'll also wear special armor that identifies them as one of your knights.

12. It seems that players are going to learn a lot about the Ayleid ruins from playing Knights of the Nine. How will this information unfold and can you give us a taste of any of the secrets we'll learn about them?

That's something you'll have to learn in the game.

13. Will Knights of the Nine feature any new creatures and if so can you reveal what they are/look like/attack styles they have?

Yes, the sorcerer-king's minions are called Aurorans. The creatures from Oblivion they're most like would probably be Dremora.

14. Fans really seem to like trying to become a vampire. Is there any content like this in Knights of the Nine, such as the ability to turn into a werewolf (which was introduced for later packs of Morrowind) and if not are there any plans for something like this in the future?

No plans to do anything like that.

15. What will be the retail price of Knights of the Nine? What will be the points cost for download on Xbox Live Marketplace?

The retail version will be $19.99, and that includes all of the DLC released to date, including Knights of the Nine. To download just Knights of the Nine for PC/Xbox 360 is $9.99/800 points.
