Well that didn't take longI was watching my teacher play this in school today when he encountered a glitch that enabled him to walk through everything without clipping
It's not cheating. It's in the game on it's own; something that the game programmers overlooked. Cheating requires the use of outside modifications/sequence of button combinations that enhances the game in the gamer's favor. This glitch, on the other hand, is in the game all on its own and is accessable without any extra help other than just killing the man. Sure there might be a morality issue to it, but if you don't think you should loot the man then don't do it, and let the guys who want to have unlimited gold have it. The glitch isn't hurting you own private experience unless YOU want it to by looting the man yourself. Quit whining and get over it. It's just a glitch in the game.
It's not a question of defining fun. They actually have no idea what it's like to play a challenging game for days, weeks and sometimes months (yes, in my text adventure days it took months sometimes) and to finally come out victorious, it was amazing. Now, they get annoyed after 10 minutes of hard play.
Wow, this is the first time I've checked a blog on Oblivion thus far. I won't get into the whole morality debate, mainly because I think a lot of opinionated people are wasting a lot of time and effort. What I will get into is this: yes, you have an alright glitch you're talking about here, but you are missing out on a better one."BETTER GOLD GLITCHWhen you become a vampire there is a way to get cured. To enter this mission, when you've become a vampire, go around and talk to people about "Cure for Vampirism". Being a vampire is inconvenient, so this mission may take a while. People will direct you to a woman that will give you a cure. First, you bring her 5 empty Grand Soul Gems. Then you bring her a list of ingredients consisting of 5 Nightshade, 2 Bloodgrass, 6 garlic, blood of an Argonian (she gives you an enchanted dagger to use), and the ashes of a powerful vampire (directions given to you as well). After you bring her everything, she makes you 2 potions. One you take, then drink a cure disease potion to keep from getting vampirism again. The second you take to count of Skingrad. After this, you can never get vampirism again and he gives you a 2500 gold reward. Keep clicking "REWARD" and he keeps giving you 2500 gold. I stopped at around 7 million gold. The thing is...when you go back to him, "REWARD" is still an option, and it still gives you money. Have fun with this one. Yes, it takes a little longer to set up, but the benefits are worth it. You may want to gather all the ingredients you can before becoming a vampire. Good Luck!

Nice post, unfortunately the regular idiots here on digg would rather mod you down.+1

Oblivion is a single player game. You don't gain an edge against other players by cheating. You're only cheating yourself.
