I have learned to eat tobacco for its alchemical properties, instead of smoking it. :shocking:

Tunnels only cave in when you get there. Once they do, you can blast them out with an AoE spell, just be sure to stand out of the way of the flying debris.
Save often and keep multiple saves.

Running around in your undies will not get you arrested or cause any concern

If someone WANTS to see you, no matter what you do they'll eventually come

An entire battalion of emperor guard consists of no more than 10 people

No more than 50 people (or less) inhabits a city

One thousand years before, the same modern lockpick had been in use

People have no Souls. Oh, my bad that was in the Morrowind province.

When people tell you to "Go to Hell" you actually can.
Summoning Skeletons and Zombies doesn't make YOU a Necromancer just everyone else

All guards magically know what is stolen and whats not stolen in your inventory when you get arrested.

If you do something bad in one town, the guards in another know it instantly.
If you do something bad, the Crusader's helmet is suddenly too small to fit your head.

Never trust a banker...

Every living creature wants to tear you a new one.

...So much that natural enemies can put aside their predator/prey relationship and work together to bring you down (I was just attacked by a boar and mountain lion both approaching side by side :lmao:).

Never trust Ma'iq the Liar. He's called that for a reason.

Actually he doesn′t lie that much. He remarks about stuff people have discussed in the forum, such as they wanted throwing knifes and stars in Oblivion too and M′aiq thinks it′s stupid to throw away your weapons. Sometimes he just tells you funny stuff or things that can′t be disproved but it′s still no lies. Same thing in Morrowind so if anything he should be called the Observer, the Critic or perhaps the Joker if that wasn′t trademarked

Also, it's okay if we never change our underwear. :lol:

Axes are blunt.

Skills with a dagger transfer to a claymore.

Being smashed into the ceiling does minimal damage.

You can block a 65-pound hammer with a 2-pound dagger and won't get your fingers squashed or anything.

Some people are more vulnerable to death when set on fire than other people.

Fat people do not exist.

A person will actually hate you more if you steal ￡3 from their pocket than if you shoot an arrow through their face - http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Crime.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

After the birth of the "Adoring Fan", procreation was banned in Cyrodiil.

Here's yet another thing I've learned after playing Oblivion. It's possible to chug up to 4 alcoholic drinks at a time, yet stilll be able to walk a straight line!

..and Guards out in the wilderness wont stop you for RUI.. Riding (a horse) Under Influence...

That reminds of a wonderful signature someone here has (or had) "Welcome to the socialist rebuplic of Bethesda,where axes are blunt, and the comrade compass points us towards PROGRESS!" :lmao:

In Fallout 3 version of this thread i did write "A crutch can in fact fit into a mailbox" same applies to Oblivion, a claymore will fit into a small sack. (And i for one like it like that, rather than a size limited inventory á la NWN).

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R you die if you drink four bottles of Vodka in one sitting :foodndrink: (You even might need to as the radiation is no joke).

I've learned a lot from Oblivion:

If you have to travel, stay on the roads.

...by the Nine....

Well, I would think that obese people in the medieval ages were reserved to nobility or the rich. People in the medieval ages were a lot more active and had to ration their food more, out of necessity. That and Beth was probably too lazy to make various different types of body styles. I hear FO3 is a little better in that department?

You can carry over 30 thousand gold coins , and yet they weigh nothing.

That[s' what I expected first time I drank alcohol in Oblivion--that my character would at least stagger around a bit. but nooooo. :facepalm:

As far as the blunt/axe argument goes, I've always taken it to mean the END of the weapon, not the side of it. In other words, the top of an axe ends with the shaft that holds the blade, which is a blunt point; wheras the top of a sword often ends with a sharp point.

This argument is nothing new, btw, we used to talk about this stuff years ago when D&D was lots more popular. Axes have always been considered blunt weapons for whatever reason.

Not really, everyone has the same body type, only thing is, everyone has a more modest body, everyones an "Average Joe".
Here in Oblivion, everyone sports six-pack abs, and 32'' barrel chests, its ridiculous. Like the whole world is one big Mr.Universe contest.

....not to mention all ladies have a C or a D-cup, depending what race they are! :lol:

Yet another thing I've learned: if my female character raids a man's wardrobe, all his pants will magically change into skrits (unless they're leather), and all his shirts will change into blouses when Wanda puts them on. :laughcry:
