The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a fantasy-based
role-playing adventure game and an example of open-ended or sandbox gameplay. The main quest may be delayed or completely ignored as the player explores a game world consisting of approximately 16 square miles of terrain, following side quests, interacting with NPCs and developing a character according to their taste. The player is free to go anywhere in the land of Cyrodiil at any time while playing the game with no penalty and even after completing the main quest storyline the game never ends. Oblivion allows the player to build their character in whatever way they want, with no restrictions on skills or equipment. The game contains many enemies for the player to fight, including monsters, demons and animals. Many enemies, quests and treasures are leveled, or become increasingly difficult, as the player gains levels. The player, however, has the option of adjusting the difficulty level.

Glitches

Item Duplication
To duplicate your items in the PS3 version of Oblivion do the following:
1) Get two magic scrolls of the same type.
- The scrolls must NOT be stolen

2) Click on the scroll twice.

3) Then drop the item from your inventory that you want duped.

4) Exit inventory and collect your items.

Notes:

- Certain weapons and armor won't work

- The health of the item must be 100 (Get it repaired by an NPC just to be safe)

- The charge on a magical item must be full


Sneak Master Glitch
Just like in the PC and 360 version, you can easily get Master Sneak level for some all out plundering and assassinating fun.

To do this, simply find a door that doesn't take you to a loading screen when opening it (Fort Urasek has a perfect place for this). Simply go in to sneak and walk against the door and your level will increase so long as you are not heard. This means that if you are below Journeyman and if you sneak too fast you will be heard. All you'll have to do is sneak off until you hear the fight music turn off, then sneak back and continue.

I used a paperclip to hold my joystick forward so I didn't have to hold it myself and checked back once an hour or half an hour to hit X when I got to each next Sneak level and by morning I was a Master.

This opens up plundering fools like no other, and, as well as most enemies, you can keep hitting for 6X damage. If they have high security, or another enemy sees you whacking away at them you stand a chance of getting caught, but if you keep sneaking, or better yet put on an invisible spell potion, you can sneak away and they'll lose track of you. I've found that high damage bow and arrow combinations are the best way to never get caught.

Here's the video proof of the duplicating glitch:
