The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

Easy Stealing

If you go into any shop find items on counters that you would like to have. After you find an item you like, knock it to the floor and push it into a dark corner (by the basement usualy works best), and the shop owner will follow you. Now crouch and wait about a second and the sneak cursor will go blank. Pick up your item and use it as you will or (Thieve's Guild members) sell it to a fence. It's really easy and you don't need to run across rooms or kill people first.

Easy Pickings

Entry Location:
In any store

Are you tired of geeting caught by the guards for stealing? Well to avoid this, push the shop-keeper around a wall so he can't see you. This allows you to steal without letting anyone catch you.

Free Daedric Weps

Entry Location:
Anywhere

First you will need a Blade Skill Of at least 75 (Expert), you also need a spell that can summon a Dremora Lord (doesn't matter if its a normal Dremora). Then try to disarm him, once you've done that, summon a new Dremora so he won't pick up the weapon again. Then you get FREE Daedric weps! You can either sell them or keep them!

Break out of Prison

Entry Location:
Prison

When you are in prison with no lock picks and don't want to wait before you are released go to the gait in sneak mode and wait for a guard to pass. When he does pickpocket him and try to steal the keys, this isn't usually successful (but if it is wait for him to go and open the gate normally) and he will burst in armed with a weapon. When he comes in he leaves the door open so you can escape. If you go left you go into a room with lots of other guards but just keep running until you are away from guards. and then you are free!

Full Deadric Armor

To do this cheat you must be at least level 20. If you haven't already, do the quest "Unfriendly Competition". At the end of the quest you have to kill a man and his companion. The companion will be wearing full deadric. Kill them both, and you have full deadric.

Fast Acrobatics

1. You can run and jump up steps, turn around and jump back down, this will get your Acrobatics up faster.

2. Find a bench or counter etc with a roof or something above it so when you jump you hit it and bounce back down to the counter, bench etc, this will make your Acrobatics shoot up! But make sure you're hitting the floor. (Listen for a thud.)

Level Up All the Way for Sneak

Entry Location:
Rufio's place

When you do the first mission for the Dark Brother Hood (A Knife in the Dark) and you are at the Inn of ill Omen, go to the basement where Rufio lives, get down in sneak position and run against the wall. Rufio is sleeping and will never wake up. So, just keep running against the wall and your sneak will begin to level up.

Easy Speechcraft Level Up

You have to have speechcraft as one of your main abilities, otherwise this won't work.
When you persuade people, after a while it will say speechcraft skill increased. Just go up to anyone and persuade them like crazy (the way I did it was they're negative first and the positive last, but it may not matter). Keep going and eventually it will say you need to rest. Rest and level up and do it again.

Lava Swim

In some Oblivion Gates there are pools of lava in your way. (Example: Skingrad Gate, Leyawin Gate)
In Bravil there's a big gate in your way. Instead of going in the cave filled with deadra to get across, you can swim around the gate. To do this you must have a lot of health because the lava takes away a lot. If you're a Nord you can use woad and your health will go down more slowly.

Make Your Horse Faster

To make them faster, have a decent restoration skill and have the ability to make your own spells. Make a spell that fortifies speed, but make it touch instead of self. (you can do target but if its just to your horse, that's wasting magicka) I made two spells that added up to be 70 speed and it was hilarous how fast my horse was. I recommend 20 to start with, with the longest duration period you can get.

WARNING: it's really easy to kill your horse in turbo mode because when you run over cliffs on your horse it gets hurt. That's why I recommend a small number. And since it's really easy to hurt your horse, it's a good idea to get a restore health spell to heal it. You can usually find those spells at churches.

Get Alteration Skill Up Easily

Go to any Mage Guild Hall and buy a lock opening spell (any will do - I used the "Unwelcome Guest"). Find any door that is locked, even if your spell won't open it. Keep using the spell on the door and your alteration skill will go up.

Arrow Happy

If your character is strong enough to take hits from many arrows then this can help you. Get a bounty, resist arrest, and run somewhere that the guards cannot get to you, but make sure they can still shoot you with their bows. Just sit there and let them fill you up with arrows.

Personal Punching Bag

Wondering how you can get your hand to hand skill up? Well, if you go to Cheydinhal you can find out without getting in trouble with the guards there. You can beat up Aldos Othran, he's located somewhere in Cheydinhal. But if you ask anyone in Cheydinhal (exept the Cheydinhal guards) about Fines you will get a mission that involves Aldos Othran (A.K.A. Skooma Boy). If you attack him while on the mission you will kill him, you will fail the mission, and you'll lose you're punching bag (Aldos Othran). The mission is called Corruption and Consience. So as long as you don't do the mission you can have your own personal punching bag all to yourself.

Hiding Weapons on Dagon Shrine

If you're having trouble with the Dagon Shrine quest, before you talk to Harrow, drop your good weapons. After you give him all your things, go and pick up your items again and kick their butts.

Fix Clavicus Vile Freezing

If you trade the Umbra Sword for the mask you will find the game keeps freezing. To stop the freezing just drop the mask. So I really think that you shouldn't give Clavicus Vile the sword, because then you get nothing.

Easy Level-ups

In Leyawin talk to some people in the streets. They should mention rosinta gallentus and how her house smells horrible. Do the easy quest and then take the staff to darkfathom cave just outside of leyawin. Once you're at the shrine in the cave and you have dropped the staff you can kill the scamps forever.

Leveling as High as You Want Past 50

Since the drain skill exploit does not work in this iteration of elder scrolls, the only way to level as much as you want is to get arrested and serve your time. The game will then pick a skill to permanently decrease. The only way to get the skill back is to level it again. If it is one of your major skills it will increase your progress toward your next level. This means that even after you max out all of your skills, you can just go to jail to lower the skill and raise it up again to continue leveling. I don't know how it picks what skill to decrese, but for me it is usually hand-to-hand or alchemy. If you don't get a major skill decreased the first time, or so, just keep trying. Once all of your attributes are maxed out there is still the advantage of gaining health everytime you level.

Good Items

There is one simple and easy way to get good items in the game, do the thieves guild quests. You are usually sent to a place where good items are, and once you get up higher in the guild you get such items as Jak Springheels boots (50+ Acrobatics), and when you finish the last quest you will get the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal (the Gray Fox's mask, it acts as a second identity for your bounty when you wear it, and has 25+ Sneak, 200+ Feather, and Detect Life 120ft, all constant effect).
