* Want to take screenshots within Oblivion on the PC? In your ''\Documents and Settings\[User]\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion'' directory is the file oblivion.ini. To enable screenshots, first create a backup of oblivion.ini (just in case) and then open it in a text editor, eg notepad. Find the text ''bAllowScreenShot=0'' and change it to ''bAllowScreenShot=1''. then save the file. Now you can take screenshots by pressing the printscreen key. The screenshots will be stored in your main Oblivion directory. | * Want to take screenshots within Oblivion on the PC?

* If you need to steal something without being seen (if you're in a shop or something), try dropping something from your inventory (preferably something large, like a book or cuirass), use the Grab button to lift it, and use said item to push the object you want to steal into some shadowy corner. Alternatively, you can just push it by walking into it, but this won't work with smaller items. It may take lots of practice to be able to do this. | * If you need to steal something without being seen (if you're in a shop or something), try dropping something from your inventory (preferably something large, like a book or cuirass), use the Grab button to lift it, and use said item to push the object you want to steal into some shadowy corner.

* To make a fair amount of money at any level, join both the Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild. Don't take any jobs yet - instead, search both places and take anything that you can find (that won't get you arrested). Joining the Guilds grants you access to free usage of almost every item in each guild hall - and that includes stealing all the books, alchemy equipment, swords, and food and selling them to the trade goods stores. | * To make a fair amount of money at any level, join both the Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild.

* Most quests are easier at lower levels, especially the main quest. If you're interested in a challenge, gain some levels before attempting the major quests. (Strangely, Oblivion seems to work in reverse compared to most RPG's - it actually gets harder as you gain power.) | * Most quests are easier at lower levels, especially the main quest.

* Need Money! - Gather all Alchemical items in a Mage's Guild building and sell it back to the Alchemist in the same building (usually the one behind a desk or the one pouring fluid from one flask to another, make sure that they are working!). Use the "Haggle" feature to bring up the difference to approximately 5 to 10 points. You'll get more from the guild for these items, including Crystal Balls, Folded Cloth, Nuggets of Ore (Silver, Gold...), even all of the 'Silver' serving ware and urns. Just don't steal from them, best locations are: Arcane University, Chorral, Anvil, Bravil, Cheydinnhal, Leyawiin | * Need Money! - Gather all Alchemical items in a Mage's Guild building and sell it back to the Alchemist in the same building (usually the one behind a desk or the one pouring fluid from one flask to another, make sure that they are working!!).
