Two Quick Questions. Options

[Blackthorne]

Hey guys, got two questions for you.

First off I have Oblivion on the 360, and it's the orginal. Now what I'm wondering is if I decide to get the GOTY edition will my save on the orignal copy be transfered over or will I have to restart the game from the very begining?

Second, During the fighters guild quest "The Noble's Daughter" I took Shadowmere(the horse given to you by Lucien Lachance during the Dark Botherhood quest) into battle with me. When all 3 Orgs were did Shadowmere was with me. As I walked over to The Lady Orc, Shadowmere was gone and when I later fasttracked back to Lord Rugdumps home Shadowmere was also missing. Guess my question is did I loose Shadowmere or is the horse just somewhere out in the wild?

As for your first question, the answer is yes. Your game will continue from your last save even if you buy GOTY edition, but with the extra content available to you after you download it. That being said, my opinion is go and buy the GOTY addition right now because the added content is well worth the extra cash. I didn't care much for the original version of oblivion but the shivering isles is worth buying just for the cool new things it adds to the game.

The second question I'm afraid I can't help you with though. Sorry mate I just don't know anything about it.
