Reasons why Oblvion is better than real life

[MiracleOfSound]

I shall start us off...



You can memorise entire books in less than a second... how I wish I had this skill in school

The gods actually do stuff

Deadric armour beats jeans and t-shirt hands down

Crouching in a corner makes you invisible, great for when the Jehovas witnesses call round

You can tell what you're about to say will piss someone off before yuo say it to them

Major blade and axe wounds leave no visible scars

When the weather's shity you can wait a day for it to clear in a matter of seconds

You can beat your friends up as much as you like and they'l never hit you back

 

[SamTheBaggie]

You forgot the obvious ones

You never have to worry about dying as you just respawn/reload and you can go around murdering whoever you like

Liar! I just completed the damn thing (late i know) and because i went crazy with AOE spells on the final level martin turned against me!. Amoungst other stuff too but that was just cruel.

 

[bodyklok]

Also you got soapy tit wanks from foxy night elves.

EDIT: Don't give me that look, someone had to say it.

 

[ZeroMachine]

A real life quicksave would be awesome...

 

[SmilingKitsune]

There's no reason to get a job, you can just clear out the occasional cave and loot the treasure chests that are so conveniently scattered around the place.

Any and all wounds can be healed by sleeping as little as one hour.

 

[D_987]

People maintain eye contact with you in Oblivion.

 

[hannahdonno]

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

 

[Mardy]

You forgot mudcrabs. They make sure it's not worth it.

 

[haruvister]

People's heads are Plug 'N' Play.

 

[AceDefective]

uhh no one wants to be a lizard man but me noone said it
i mean breathing under water sounds cool

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Also you got soapy tit wanks from hot dark elves.

EDIT: Don't give me that look, someone had to say it.

Dunno what version you played but I want it

You forgot the obvious ones

You never have to worry about dying as you just respawn/reload and you can go around murdering whoever you like

very true but this is true of many games as opposed to something relatively unique to oblivion!

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

 

[SamTheBaggie]

EDIT - I kinda messed up the bb codes but anyway I'm going for the fast travel part of the game

 

[alwaysrockon]

You can eat random fruit salads and et magical abilities..and you can eat ogre teeth...freaking ogre teeth.

EDIT: you can also hold thousands of pounds of items in nothing more than a pair of underwear.

Now for the crime and justice system!

Breaking out of jail is painfully simple.
You can rid yourself of any criminal record by paying some money to some people.
killing people is okay as long as you have enough money.
Some people apparently don't care if you rob them.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

The other men in Oblivion are just as physically and socially awkward as you.

However fiersome your enemies are, mudcrabs are fiercer.

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.

 

[KaZZaP]

You can hack your character out and jump city to city.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

the dark brotherhood is recession proof

no one cares if you rob corpses

no one minds uninvited adventurers wondering around thier homes

running requires no effort whatsoever (I deduced this from the animations)
