Don't know if I'm gonna get Shivering Isles but the previews looked pretty sweet

My $0.02, wait for a price drop. $30 is way too much for an expansion, $20 is more like it or less.

One question: I have completed the main quest line now, but I still haven't found out the answer to one riddle - why was the hero in the Imperial prison at the beginning of the game?

Actually, that's one question never solved in the game itself. Akin to Morrowind's beginning (you came to Morrowind on a prison ship), you find yourself imprisonned. The reason is yours to find. Perhaps you once were a most evil person, commiting a great amount of heinous crimes? Or, rather, were you not unjustly imprisoned for murder? It's literally up to you to decide.
I believe Bethesda chose to do that because it was simple for the plot. Also, I merely conjecture here, but when criminals exit prison, don't they want to start a new life? And, even if you don't, in this game at least, you can chose to return to crime (Dark Brotherhood, anyone?).
