you can be a hero and save the world even though in real life you don't really have that abillity...at all...ever....EVER...also the chance to talk to what's-his-name sounds cool.
You can go on a few dungeon crawls, amass a generous fortune and retire peacefully and happily to a small winter cottage in Bruma. You can then rob the laughabley unperceptive smithy every week for income and weaponry to guard your home before going for a gentle stroll upto a quiet, serene temple guarded by loyal, friendly samurai atop a majestic mountain range with a refreshign breeze and glorious view. And then there's the whole being the single most competant archaeolagist in the world, that or all the others are too busy to go visit the ancient elven ruins with the doors unlocked.
As for that unicorn, how was I able to kill it before I even got the quest? It was kinda annoying given that I actually wanted to ride the damn thing, but the 3 minataurs forced me to draw steel.
And if you think the unicorn following you is bad, I got the great weylkind stone early so had no idea what to do with it, I was just rushing through grabbing all the loot, so when the lich shows up in the skingrad courtyard murdering all the guards between him and I, well, I kinda had to take a detour through the private part of the castle just to get away from him.

Dive Rock + Adoring Fan = endless fun.
"Stop right there, criminal scum! Your spree is at an end!"
I would go over to Oblivion just to have a guard scream that at me.

You can make someone your best friend by accurately hitting a button and using the joystick *speechcraft*
You can run around a city with a battle axe and no-one says a thing.
Leave a bag in the wrong place these days and there are cops everywhere.

If I had a 100% Chameleon suit in real life there is no end to the mayhem I would cause. I'd sneak up on bank tellers, steal their keys, then sneak into the vault and steal all the money (or at least all the hundreds and twenties).

Another nice thing about the bank-heist scenario that's better in Oblivion than in real life is that in Oblivion money is weightless, so carrying millions of dollars' worth of those presidential gold coins the US is putting out over the next few years wouldn't weigh me down one little bit.
There's an insane god who owns his own island, gives away free cheese, and has subjects executed just for growing beards.
Also, you can easily convince someone to like by telling them a good joke, even after murdering their entire family.
