The Asshole Scrolls : Oblivion

After starting/stoping/starting/stoping/starting/stoping/starting the newest fantasy cliché-fest known as Oblivion; I think i’m starting to enjoy it. Not so much for the story, but for the asshole potential of the free-roaming style. And you know; i’ve always been an avid supporter of asshole style manipulation of games (goatse references aside).

ASSHOLE ACT : “HOT-TUBBING”
Firstly, you can influence the path of any non-stationary NPC in the game. Invisible-collisions aren’t a factor in the pathing of units so basically; you can move an NPC to any area your PC can move to without jumping or activating an area transition. Your PC can swim in water, so potentially–

YOU CAN PUSH NPCS INTO INESCAPABLE BODIES OF WATER.

– I’ve gone ahead and officially named this act “hot-tubbing”, for added effect; slay the NPCs while they’re in the water and loot the clothes off their bodies. Only retards go hot-tubbing with their clothes on.

As for other merits? There’s a moderate WTF factor;
ie, finding an item of enchanted clothing worth 2000 gold, IN THE BEGINNER DUNGEON.
ie, catching a disease from a zombie you summoned yourself to smack around. I can’t wait for the “conjure hooker” mod.

Lastly, here’s a picture of my character ready to make some civilians angry;

  2. I’ve quit playing it as I’ve got annoyed at there is no point at all in leveling up, and that you can finish the game at level 1. Though I might get around to installing one of the many level scaler mods, so that different areas have different level creeps.
