Vile Lair Review
"Although the Vile Lair is a no-brainer for players living on the dark side, goody-goodies looking for some sweet swag may just want to invest the $2 in the plug-in, anyway. Several skill books are scattered around the living areas, and amongst the yarn, calipers, and corn in the cupboards, you’ll also find a delicious little weapon and some tasty armor, too."

Mehrunes' Razor Review
"...an intriguing little story, a mysterious Morag Tong assassin and a unique enchanted weapon, too? If that's not worth three bucks to you, you've got the wrong hobby."
