Oblivion god mode

[bobquasit]

I've reached a score of 100 in ALL magic skills. Options have opened up as a result.

I read that a 100% Chameleon effect makes you effectively invisible even when you attack, making you virtually invulnerable.

So I tried making a 100% Chameleon effect spell. It worked, but enemies could still see and attack me - easily. I walked around translucent in a cloud of my own blood.

So just for the hell of it I made five magic items that each gave 20% chameleon effect.

The results were startling. Rather than turn translucent, I disappeared completely. It was (is) like being a disembodied viewpoint. And nobody can see me - NOBODY. Merchants can still see me if I address them directly, but otherwise I'm completely invisible. I took a stroll through Oblivion (Hell) and was amazed; I can just kill the crap out of everything and not be hit once.

This is going to be fun for a little while, but it will probably get boring eventually. The thing is, this isn't a cheat; it's a legitimate use of game powers. I'd say it's a flaw in game design more than anything else.

Heh, reminds me of a game a friend of mine use ta play. In the game he could send resources to the various units in his game, which the enemy could hijack. He discovered that he could send -negative units, causing the enemy to use up resources rather quickly. Ouch!

In the old Apple II game Taipan, you could overpay the loan shark. All of a sudden his extortionate interest rate was a good thing....

Yeah, isn't the Chameleon 100% effect nifty? Usually you can't get it, I think, until you're kinda close to the end of the game anyhow. So it came in handy right about then.

Man, I can NOT wait until Fallout 3. I'm paying for the super stupid special Amazon edition...

I keep meaning to play Oblivion. Thanks for the encouragement.
