Featuring: Oblivion Game Guide, Oblivion Atlas, Knights of the Nine Game Guide and Shivering Isles Game Guide.

Behold, our unofficial strategy guide to overwhelmingly gigantic The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Here you will find everything you need to know about the game and was afraid to ask anywhere else.

First, some technical stuff. As you may know from other texts about Oblivion, the game’s world reacts to the player’s progress and evolves with him. That means that you can actually beat the main quest without even bothering to do anything except it, ‘cause if you don’t level up your character, you’ll be fighting some basic enemies over and over again to the very end. That leads to the fact that we can’t actually point out how many or what type of enemies you will be facing in certain situations. These factors depend on your character’s level. If you don’t want to “loose” time on leveling up, go ahead and endlessly fight Scamps and basic Dremora soldiers.

We didn’t cover the things that are pretty obvious in our guide. There’s no point in telling you exactly what to do in each dungeon, so we stick to the essentials. Hey, you’re a gamer, you shouldn’t feel like a fish out of water when you’re deep underground surrounded by skeletons, now should you?

There are a lot of bugs in this game. Bugs that keep you from completing certain quests, make objects disappear or NPCs talk rubbish. Save often, that’s the best advice we can give you. Every quest is beatable under certain circumstances and bugs seem to appear randomly, so you might not have a problem at all when you beat them the second time round.

Here's one for all the pervs like Me :)

How to get Eyja in her underwear in your bedroom @ Skingrad house. Note this was done on the PC version only.

First you have to have Eyja work for you.
Then after she is in the house, bring up the console and REF her.

Type in

createfullactorcopy

and her copy will appear though she will not give you food and drink like the original. Bring the console back up, REF the copy of Eyja and type in

kill

let her hit the ground, take her clothes for good measure then bring up the console again and type

resurrect

She will be revived in her underwear. I should note that she will stay where she was created unless you can ~make~ her move. This is easily accomplished by punching her then running for the bedroom upstairs. Once there she will attack you. Bring up the console and type in "kill" then "resurrect". She will then remain standing your bedroom after you save and will not move just talk. I personally have her standing next to the bed and stool. Daddy is home. LOL [ see image ]

Here's a nifty trick that I learned. This is only for the PC GOTY version however.
Do you have an object you wish you had more of like for instance Ebony arrows? Get them from yourself! Here's how:

bring up the console (using the ~ key) and type in:

player.createfullactorcopy

A copy of yourself will appear nearby. Click on your copy using your pointer which gives you the Reference then type KILL into the console, then turn off the console. Your copy will drop dead as a stone and you can access its inventory. Take what you want then dismiss the copy by typing

deletefullactorcopy

into the console.

this can be done with any character on the game as well. Its a good way to get alot items quickly especially when you copy yourself. The items increase by double evertime you do this. I have over 3,000 arrows of withering just from doing this and maxed out My gold. No need to go buy lockpicks anymore either.

A little tip for people who dont know, a good way to level up and make fast money is the duplication glitch, you do it by getting for example 2 scrolls of the same kind like 2 moonlight scrolls or anything else, you then go to the menu and hit either A or X button 2 times, depending on what system you have ( either xbox 360 or ps3) to equip them, you the go to the item you want to copy and hit either X or Square to drop the item, if done correctly it should drop 2 of the same item (p.s. it can be done with more the 2 scrolls, you just have to equip it that many time by hitting A or X, just no more than 100 scrolls or the game will get laggy and might freeze so you might want to save if you try more than 100 scrolls). Hope this helps and Good Luck!!!! (p.s. this glitch works with all systems)!

To Imperial_Breton:
I had the same problem and I found out that the only way to fix it was to reinstall your whole computer (Cus the bug is somewhere you cant reach)
