After You've achieved your dream armour / weapons, after you've beaten just about every quest, gotten every achievement, gotten to level 30+ on the three main class groups ( stealthy/archer, mage, warrior )... what keeps you playing? I don't see why I keep playing.. but i do and would like to know why if you guys do too.

you keep playing because it's a freaking TES game thats why!

not a very good answer but acceptable .

When you know there's glitches, hacks, mods, and cheats it really makes you ( or at least me ) not want to play... Like i cheated on 2 of my favorite characters.. my mage whom I gave the mace of doom unlimited sigil stones and over 1k Fame along with TONS of magicka and sadly, 130% shield... this is all permanent btw. and my warrior who i gave the same except the permanent enchantment.

Let me ask you guys something, when you first create a character how would you level the character up? The cheating way where you just go to pyrite shrine and sneak/fight the frozen people that can't fight back? Do you dupe things like lock picks or repair hammers? Do you as soon as you start try to get the skeleton key? Do you change the slider to easy mode? All these things really make me sick and ive done them to all of my characters which is definently why I don't like this game as much as I should. And you know what, sometime I'm gonna delete everything in my oblivion save and make new characters without cheats ( or i may just keep one character like my mage that I cheated on for some spice ).

What do you think?

quote TheFallenOne

Well I must say that cheats do really piss me off but I'm no saint, without cheats/glitches I don't think my Alchemy would bother me as much as it does now, I love Alchemy but without glitches it's a bitch to level up, I did one character without cheats or anything, I sacked off all of the cheats and turned the difficulty slider all the way and to be honest it sucks, I completed all his Major skills and everything and it was just.

Yeah my warrior has mastered everything except alchemy and restoration same with my mage.

But, you're saying you were terribored ( terribly bored ) with your char without cheats?
