Another thing that amuses me is running into the mages district or university when you're being tailed by guards.
If you're a member of the guild all your mage friends will begin slaughtering the guards.
This ends up in some pretty huge, and explosive brawls.

That actually is another thing I love doing. Becoming the head of all the guilds allows you to get quite a large number of followers. Mods can increase that number significantly. Provoking a guard attack in a city when you have mages, warriors, loyal companions, and maybe even a (modded stronger) adoring fan, and you can just sit back and enjoy the carnage.

I exploited the chameleon ability you can put onto armour, made myself permanently invisible(even if I attack/ steal something) than decided to go on a killing spree in the market district racking up a 52,000g bounty before getting bored and returning to questing.

I went to do the one where the other merchants are pissed off about one guy taking all there business and later find out that he's getting his merchandise from a grave robber than you set off to kill the grave robber, well during my spree I killed him and it wouldn't let me finish the quest.
I also killed of the proprietors of 3 weapons and armour store's and 1 spell store.

But it was all totally worth it because of all the loot I got from the guards.

I used the horse in the stable in the monastery near the beginning of the game to get to the city which you are told to travel to. However, though, it was apparently stolen, though if you talk to the person in the stable they will say that it is OK for you to borrow the horse. Once I reached a city, I was stopped by the guards. Apparently the horse was worth far more than the few bits of gold that I had on me at the time, so I resisted arrest and ran like hell. I ended up in jail and when I tried to use the horse to continue on my way, I was arrested again. I ran away again, and successfully escaped. On the road, though, I was stopped by another guard, and ended up in a fight with the guard. I killed him and the wolf which had seen me, but during the fight I had accidentally hurt my horse. It chased me all the way to the next town, but running inside was enough to stop it. Later, I had to be sure to mount my horse far away from guards, because after my altercation on the path, I was not a threat if I was already riding. I later talked to the stable tender, and the problem resolved itself. It was annoying, because it took me 20 hours or so to actually figure out what I had to do.

Once, while waiting for someone to finally show their face so I could continue on my quest, I put on a number of "Reflect Damage" items that I'd found in earlier missions, and then the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal. Naturally, the guards show up quickly, I resist arrest, and they attack.

Between "reflect damage" and my own natural maxed out healing ability, I decimated the entire guard population of Skingrad without firing one single shot.

I filled the only swing open like a door) wardrobe in the game (one of the buyable houses had it) with watermelons. Then warned people not to open it when playing.

My friend Hugh had dozens of crazy things he did, can't remember all of them, but he set up rake home defence systems with dozens of rakes throughout his houses, filled an open barrel with flaming torchs (some bug he exploited to light them out of his inventory) and invented a cool spell that set him on fire while bolstering his attack and such, looked freaking cool with daedric armour.

One thing we discovered is that if you remove a piece of equipment that adds a plus to fatigue, when you have zero fatigue, it knocks you below zero which means you collapse temporarily. But if you do this jumping from a height not only do you survive but you hilariously tumble through the air. Did it outside Skingrad Castle.

I stabbed Glarthir with a fork once, just because. The fork was a mod, of course.

What you didnt just get the fork of horripilation?

The FoH is a mod. In fact, it's the one I used.

I'm pretty sure Big-Head gives you the quest, in the Shivering Isles. I don't remember how it goes though, been a long time.

Ran from one end of the map (literally ran) to the other, broke into the imperial prison, just to punch that jackass dark elf in the face.

Never played Shivering Isles, so I wouldn't know.

Using Shadowmere as a portable chest. Just knock it out, put your extra items in, and voila!

Seeing how long I could fall without dying. I remember I jumped down a hill right out front of one city (Anvil I think) and got knocked to exactly 2 HP from full health (I was really high level by that point...master of a few guilds and beaten the main quest).

I exploited the various glitches that let you get ridiculously high stats and magicka, and made a spell, which I named "Take Off You Hoser!" because I had been watching Strange Brew just prior. The spell did 100 points for 120 seconds of the following:
Fire Damage
Frost Damage
Shock Damage
Damage Health
Absorb Health
Drain Health
Paralyze

The effect was to do 600 points of damage instantly, freeze them in place, and continue doing 500 damage every second for 2 minutes. This would kill everything that wasn't essential.

For even more fun, using a preparation spell, like 100 point Weakness to everything, effectively doubling the power of my uber-spell.

What made it really great, though, was the knowledge that at any moment, I could have this spell reflected back at me when I was facing higher level characters. I had the ability to get 100% Magic Resistance, but that ruined the very slim chance to defend themselves these creatures and NPCs had. Even with all the potions I could carry, and my best healing spells, having that much damage constantly applied to you will kill you pretty quickly.

did you test it on sheogorath i think has has 10000 health it should knock him out before he gets to you

anyway i found i giant mudcrab once (not in greenmead cave) near the outer wall of the imperial city i ran away and a gaurd killed it

I was playing Oblivion a couple of days ago and I was talking to an Orc NPC in Chorrol and all of a sudden he's not wearing a shirt =S

I was in the Bravil fighters guild and everyone was in their skivies for some odd reason.

If you drink loads of skooma and jump around it makes you collapse as well.

At the moment, I can't think of anything epic and random I have done on Oblivion that hasn't been mentioned already. But, I'll admit it, I fucking laughed at these.

Yeah, you can do that 100% invisibility at any level even 1.
If you kill Aragmir before he's with that other guy in the cript you fail the quest, The quest is called "Unfriendly Competition".

There a quest where you get to kill the dark Elf, he's called Valen Dreth. I always like shooting him in the face with an arrow.

It was always way too satisfying killing him. I almost creeped myself out once or twice. His opening lines to female dark elves in the beginning always made me gag. Kind of reminded me of being at work. >_>;;

1) Get a paralyze self spell
2) climb to somewhere high (either jump or tcl and fly) like a rooftop or dive rock
3) stand with one foot on the edge of the roof/rock, the other off the end (you stay on top of the roof/rock though)
4) jump
5) cast spell in mid air
6) watch as you *spring* back up, go flying and fall to the floor

muchas fun

I have enough gear to render myself completely invisible for as long as I wear it. I also have a secondary set of gear which consists mostly of Feather-enchanted objects.

I walk into a dungeon/cave/fort/whatever, wear my Stealth Gear, kill everything in there, switch to my Feather Gear, loot the area (inc. corpses) for everything of value, head to town and sell the stuff.

Works like a charm too.

I shot a guard right between the eyes with an arrow, and he said "Damn rats, always scurrying around in the shadows, making me jumpy."

I didn't do it, but my psicotic friend decided it would be a great idea to randomly kill two bypassing chicks, then loot their clothes, and make them do a sixty-nine. Whilst guards went past. Whilst the whole town watched. Whilst my little cousin watched. VERY AWKWARD.

I cheated and made a big force puch spell combined with shock so that they would go flying to who knows where and be shocked until death while doing so. I shot someone at one city with the spell and saw them fly into the air i was like "hells yes! it works!" I then got onto my horse and started trotting to another town, about 2 maybe 3 mins after i shot the spell, i get hit by somthing and die from electric damage... i lok around and i died from the guy i shot and sent flying threw the air.... he just came down... What...the... f*ck

I used the blackpowder bomb and tripwire mods in both the middle of the Market District and at Dive Rock. In town, I just set bombs down by the tripwires and waited for people to pass. I even got a guard by putting the tripwire between me and him, then firing an arrow at him; ran right at me, then got launched into the air. Same with some guards that were just minding their own business.
Then a woman stood right in front of a readied tripwire but just stared at a corpse nearby. I go over to investigate why it's taking so long for an explosion, and ta-da! she walks right through it as I get close. Ironically, that's the exact moment when my screen recorder stops. XD

At Dive Rock I set everything up at the cliff and then just ran off nto the tripwire, (I hate how the game almost immediately goes to a game-select screen; I wanted to see my body fall). I then go back later with a stolen Unicorn and try it again, even with a copy of myself, but it's just not what I hoped.

It was all still funny though. I managed to film most of it.
