[Tiruin]

Best part of Oblivion was leveling acrobatics.

Hoppity hoppity hop jump jump jump leap hop tumble
Nope. :c

You can flip. You can also jump on water at 100.

Wat.
On both.
Wat.

Literally, though, the most fun I had in Oblivion by far, was when I said "You know what? I'm going to go out of my comfort zone. I won't play a wizard. I won't cast spells. I won't care about the main quests!"
And then I made an Orc dude that swung an axe, and just went running through the wilderness, not using fast-travel, probably with no pants.

I found so much coll stuff out in the middle of nowhere.

I made a nord with a penchant for blades, and truly trusted dodging, and a fear-ish spell.
Woo~ Gaelic remembrance... ;P

[mastahcheese]

I remember playing as that orc, and going across that reeeeeally long bridge (I always fast traveled, so I never actually took the time to cross it.) and half-way across, I was stopped by a bandit, that told me to hand over my money.

I literally laughed out loud, and then threw him off the bridge.

[Yoink]

Oh yeah! That's one of the things that really ruined the Elder Scrolls games for me: fast travel.
Well, that and the stupid plot and incredible amount of railroading...

[Xantalos]

Kinda reminds me of my Skyrim punch mage. Run around in the freezing snow with only a thin robe and hood on, oh yeah and the Daedric gauntlets on my fists, hadokening random goats with fireball.

No, no. The best part of Oblivion was many things at once, though most of those related to spell- and enchantment-crafting.

My favorite was crafting a very high-powered Fortify Speed on-touch spell, casting on a horse, and riding until I hit a bump and was launched like a fantasy version of the JATO rocket-car myth. IIRC you could combine it with Fortify Athletics and Demoralize to make enemies fly away from you, possibly even blasting off. Perhaps at the speed of light.

But 100% chameleon armor was pretty broken too. For the uninitiated:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The two forms of invisibility are Invisibility, which is perfect concealment but which breaks on most useful actions, and Chameleon, which doesn't break but which is also not perfect; you can still be detected. With armor enchantment, you had five pieces to work with, and you could apply 20% Chameleon to each. 100% Chameleon is equivalent to Invisibility in the sense that it is perfect, but not in the sense that you're free to do whatever you want. You could walk up to a guard, smack him in the face with a sword, and he'd wonder about rats or the wind. So, with a fairly weak character not even specialized for magic, you could give yourself permanent perfect concealment that blocked anything from ever targeting you. Fucking hilarious.

WOW. I wasn't sure to put this here or the happy thread but my gosh that's advanced I hope this sortof customization system becomes widespread

That's...

Yep. Wow.

Oh dear there's so many opportunities to create abominations that shouldn't exist.

[Skyrunner]

It looks like the Vindictus system taken to its logical infinity :v

You actually had 9--two rings, an amulet and a shield on top of the 5 armor slots.

Getting 20% chameleon requires highest-level sigil stones, which basically means you're already a living god (in fact, there's a good likelihood that that statement is literal) regardless.

I hope you like playing with sliders for hours on end.

My arms are visibly covered in salt from evaporated sweat. I didn't know this could happen.
I think it's salt, anyway. It's white and crystalline.

Actually, Japa, you are the first known human to secrete meth. The SCP foundation will come for you soon. Please do not leave your current location.

Also you're lucky it's dry enough for your sweat to evapourate.

[Rose]

It's not dry enough, it's hot enough.
Other option is that airborne dust mixes with my sweat, and stays on my arm, but I'm not sure it'd be white then.

I think it would be easier to just throw in a copy of Blender with each copy of the game at that point.

[Arx]

I have a terrific craving for fried hake. This is inexplicable.
