Reasons why Oblvion is better than real life

[Delicious]

You can have a lusty argonian maid polish your spear.

 

[TheDemolisher]

The Arena is legal! You can gamble on the lives of people who participate in the ultimate bloodsport or better yet, you can compete in it (although it may result in death).
Also you can say a prayer and the Night Mother will dispatch someone to kill those you dislike, could be quite handy.

no dismemberment, No fat people, and no one notices you stealing their valuables

 

[Pimppeter2]

The giant Mudcrab

Yeah that Daedric stuff does beat jeans. Wish I had a few of those in my closet

I like how you can just rip a bear's/wolf's pelt of with your bare hands as well.

Shivering Isles never went on PS3 (Which is what I played oblivion on) *Single tear slides down cheeck*. I have it on PC though, just never had a PC that could run it properly.

It was sold separately (I think you can even download it on PS Store.) It also came on the Game of the Year Edition of Oblivion. I have seen them both in shops and own the GOY version. So go have another look. Missing a big part of the game. Yes for PS3.

Gold coins are loads cooler than banknotes...

In jail you lose skills instead of being sodomised thats an advantage and killing the annoying fan... its like killing Simon Cowell and getting away with it xD

 

[FeralPhantom]

no matter how many times you rob/murder somebody, just pay a fine and your a free man

that and the ability to throw fireballs at whoever so much as looks at you funny

You can kick the shit out of some people and they will never die. You can keep going back for more.

This, so much this. I love punching someone in the face and then yielding.

Yerr, bit strange though, you can stab someone in the face with some big hell sword, but as soon as you put up your sheild, and I dunno, I think you shout "NO" or something, they are all matey with you.

There a lot of things about the game that become really strange when you think about it for a few seconds. Like the fact that if you have collected 8 potatoes and stolen 2 potatoes, a merchant will only buy the 8 potatoes you got legally. I guess stolen items are really obvious in this world.
To say nothing of the psychic guards, who chase me around for months because I moved a fork.

So obvious that if you so much as talk to a guard with them in your pack, he'll haul you to jail.

My favorite thing about the game is the quest where you go into the guy's nightmare... it actually spooked the hell out of me..

so that's why it's better then real life - you can go into some guy's nightmare and solve fucky riddles.

The fact you can just make your stats go up to 100000000000000000000000000000000 in about 2 seconds and being super strong and just kill anyone you want and then the guards and have the fun of killing importont people and them just getting knocked unconchious!

My favorite thing about the game is the quest where you go into the guy's nightmare... it actually spooked the hell out of me..

You want a scary in-game dream? Try the one you have when Irenicus captures you in Shadows of Amn. It's so weird, and genuinely terrifying because you have no idea what's happening.

 

[chumpzilla_69]

You can have an adoring fan, who no matter how many times you kill him, will always come back for more lovin'.

Interesting side note : Killing the adoring fan has become a sort of sport with me and my freind, you have to kill him, steal his trousers, and leave him in the best (read : inaproprite) position physically possible, bonus points for public areas

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Just thought of a new one today, you can create magical, mystical, medicinal potions by rubbing a potato and a carrot together.

And people always look you in the eye when talking to you.
