Tips, tricks, glitches and strategies for Oblivion on PC and Xbox 360

By Jason Rybka, About.com

Grab a Magic Sword

In Grey Mare Tavern in Chorrol overhear as an old man talks with bartender about some creatures threatening his farm, and that the guards don't want to help. New dialogue topic will become available to you. Talk to that old man about it and you will receive a quest to defend his farm from goblins. Go to Weynon Priory, near it you will meet his two sons. Speak to them and go with them to the farm.

You will need to fight off three waves of goblins. Goblins in helms are tough ones, they are goblin skirmishers. Goblins without helms are very weak and can be killed with one or two power blows. I suppose killing the weakest first would be the best strategy. Make sure that both brothers survive so you will receive a magical sword when you return to the old man in Grey Mare.

Bring a Magical Weapon to Fish

If you decide to go 'fishing' in Lake Rumare (there is a quest for it) make sure you have a magical weapon with you. It is a very hard work to kill Rumare Slaughterfish with a non-magical weapon. Though if you manage to catch it near a shore you can sneak attack it with a bow. This way is much more fun, though such occasions are rare. I didn't try to use magic for fishing, I'm a Khajiiti Assassin and magic is not my style, though I suspect magic fishing might be very much fun.

Use Filled Soul Gems

When you find filled soul gems don't sell them, they can be used to recharge magic weapons. Magic weapons don't restore their charges as time passes.

About Stolen Horses

If you steal a horse, when you release it, it will return to where you stole it from. Also if you get off the stolen horse and then need to get on it again, make sure no one sees you because it will be as if you are stealing it again.

Khajiit's Eye of Fear

If you are playing a khajiit, don't forget about your 'Eye of Fear' power. It can spook even a daedra, very useful.
