Hehe mine is:
Changing into the Shrouded armour and sneaking out into the night. I then sneak into someones house (normally the backdoor is easier) and stealing some items

I sometimes go upstairs and sink a blade into the house owner or if im caught

Always fun to do

Its like the game Splinter Cell when I do cause Nighteye (nightvision) and Detect Life (thermals) add to the Splinter Cellism.

PS. I dont take it in the backdoor as the (normally the backdoor is easier) seems to say

The way I was approached by a representative for one of the ruling houses after having begun to make a name for myself. In other words, instead of having to instigate every quest myself, I was being sought out--as though the environment was active, rather than completely passive. 'Course, BG2 did this as well half a dozen years ago, but it's the first time I've seen it in the ES series. Shows what can be done if you use some of the more advanced scripting tools. I'd like to see a lot more of it, and I suspect modders will do so.

err in the db quest where u kill the guy with the moosehead ( i had detect life on) and just hearing the thud and seeing his light go out then sneaking out after noticing the blood splatered walls

Ive just found my new fav

First of all go to Bravil (fast travel Bravil is full name) and look to your left, there should be a inn. In between the inn and the next house there is a Drug Lord (what I called him anyway) who sells Skooma

Buy 4 vials of Skooma and drink all same time, swith 3rd person and watch how fast you move!!! Works best naked (not in them terms, I mean no armour etc) so you move well faster than a horse!!!

HINT: Save before you do this as it is useless and costs around 120 each Skooma and only lasts bout 6 seconds lol

Have fun

(PS) This post has nothing to do with Nudity or Drug abuse so dont get any ideas, Skooma is a drug and should not be used except for medical reasons! Remember Drug Abuse kills!

Sneaking around real big creatures (Xivilai, Minatour Lords, Savage Ogres) and killing them (with sneak attack bonus) with a power attack. They just fly of and be dead before they fall to the ground. Only to hits to kill a Xivilai (not bad).

i like the DB quest where your in a house and there's a "contest" going on. They're looking for gold that's now there and a key. You have to kill them all and if you do it the right way you'll be able to hear their remarks about the killing. it funny. plus at the end the last 2 people will try to kill eachother!! lol:laugh:

I got a big kick out of those quests where you had to observe other NPCs trying to sneak. Absolutely comical.

I watched the Argonian named Quill-weave try to pickpocket an NPC. She got detected and the town guard chased her all over town. They took swipes at her as she scurried among the buildings. I followed for fun. She eventually ran to her house and hid inside. The guards (about 6 of them) were all milling around outside the door.

SuperVillain · Post by **SuperVillain** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 4:40 pm

lol Quillweave is always up to no good...
Yup she got stuck during a quest with some rats in the basement and I had to watch her noclip though a house

Always something new to see on Oblivion huh

I loved that part too

I took my time with that one :laugh:
I also really liked making a spell that does 100% weakness to fire in 20ft for 3 seconds, and 100 pts fire damage in 20ft for 2 seconds :devil: Big Boom :devil:
But I think my all time favourite thing was walking into a random bar/inn (Anvil I think) and all of the sudden some guy takes out a warhammer and went on a rampage

Eventually the guards took him down.
Oblivion is almost too fun.

Hands-down most satisfying moment for me was killing everyone in the Blackwood Company. The massacre at Water's Edge sent me into a testosterone rage that made Chuck Norris' reaction to seeing his dog killed by thugs look like a hippie love-fest. And putting a sword through that little weasel Maglir was the icing on the cake.

truthfully, when I first got the game walked into the imperial city, entered a tavern, and sat down in chair... I said damn, I can sit down in a chair

For me the stealth option in Oblivion is the best
You are sneaking through a dungeon, silent as a shadow, dressed black as night. Suddenly you stop. A huge minotaur stands in the path ahead of you, its looming shape blocking a chest where there are undoubtabley valueably treasures. You draw your bow and draw the string. Then you loosen it. An arrow flies straight at you target, and the huge beast crumples to the ground. Sneak attack x3 damage. Sweet.
Of course i also enjoy playing as a mage type. Loosing fireballs on witless goblins and watching them fly. Dude.

Both part of FG quest line ("Infiltration" and "The Hist", both assigned by Modryn in Chorrol, I think).

King of the hill

The best time I had playing was when I first entered Kvatch, before I got to Maritn. I had leveled up a bit too quick on major skills like Alchemy, so I was leveled up, but not too powerful (I know, huge mistake!) By the time I got to this point in the quest, everything was Atronachs and Daredra. Everyone who came in with me wound up dying and I found myself in the wierdest situation.
I was good with a sword, but not so much with a bow. I was good with the magicka, but my sign was the Atronach (but I was a Breton with some absorb magicka rings, so I could absorb Magicka at 93% efficiency).
So what winds up happening is that I find what's left of a house (two walls with a staircase and just enough floor left at the top of the stairs to stand), climb the stairs, and stand there like I'm playing King of the Hill. The stairs are so narrow that only one enmy can ace me at a time, as opposed to about twenty on the ground. I hack anyone to pieces who comes up the stairs and throw spells at everyone else until I'm out. Then I have to wait until they throw a bunch of spells at me so I can absorb them any fill my Magicka tacks back up. Eventually, they stop coming up the stairs, so I keep having to go down the stairs and lure tham back into the trap. This went on for about a half hour before I got them down to a managable three or four enemies and could come off my perch and mop up. Man, when that fight was done, I really felt like the impossible hero!

I think my favorite time in Oblivion was either when I was in Kvatch at level 4, and these trained soldiers said stuff like "you should lead the charge. You're obviously the most skilled combatant here" I laughed at first, but then it turned out they were right. Also, there was this one time in Oblivion (you know, the plane, not the game

) when I was fighting a Dremora Valkynaz on one of those two foot wide bridges that are about 150 feet above ground level. He had a daedric claymore, and I had about 30 health left.... he did a running thrust and said, much to my amusement "OPEN WIDE!!!". Instead of blocking, I sidestepped and he fell off the bridge. His body landed right next to another Dremora, who said something like "What the crap?", then he drew his sword and started looking around nervously. Or there was this one time I sat down on a chair and then when I went to third-person, it turns out I was also sitting on a body that landed face down on the chair during my last rampage.

My favorite momment occurs at the arena bloodworks when you speak to Owyn. If you ask him about rumors, he will reply "I heard a rumor that your an idiot, any truth to that?". That has to be the best line in the game!
