The Oblivion Start is quite boring without something fun, so tell me some of those fun cheats/glitches/bugs/other tricks which you have used through your starts...

I'll write others down later but here's two I'm using right now...
- While walking through that cave, if you have a normal acrobatics (more than 10) and jump upwards with that hole in the roof leading up to a hall and position your camera just right you can see that there ain't no floor... looks so messed up!
- Again you neat a normal acrobatics (more than 14) and a decent sneak (25 or more) there is a broken pillar in the cell where the emp dies... from that pillar you can jump up into one of the 'rooms' hide in a corner and watch mister important blade kill hundreds of mythic dawn... Heh he dropped his blade...

Great thread!

If you like to play with the rats, it's possible to advance Sneak, Acrobatics, Athletics, Restoration, and Block to at least Apprentice level while in the tutorial. (I had one character leave the tutorial with sneak at level 100.) You can then start with them as minor skills at Apprentice level.

I don't remember the exact details, but when you are close to exiting there is a room with two holes in the ceiling that seem to go on forever. I shot an arrow up the first hole and it came out the second

After you left the Emp, in the place where you meet back up with him if you hide instead of jumping down to them, they finish their conversation and then stand around saying how they need to leave. I was there for ten minutes and they said the same thing over and over, not moving anywhere.
