Fixing Boredom In Oblivion; What do you do when bored in Cyrodiil?

I always find it amusing hearing what people do in Oblivion when they want a break from quests, here are a few I've tried...

1) Sigil Stone Bowlling - set up ten (10) potion bottles at one end of a flat, empty area knock them over by bowling Sigil Stones at them.

2) Mini-Golf - place several baskets on their side and use a rake/broom/other long object to hit pearls into them (gets even more interesting if you make a real course in the TES Contruction Set, yes I am in the process of a par 3 18 hole course, complete with crazy clown head and windmill).

3) Pushing the Adoring Fan off of Dive Rock and watch him climb back up, begging for more.

OK, your turn...

I always thought it was fun to kill all civilians via stealth then take on all the guards (whoops, almost spelled guards guars :P )at once.

1. I get on my horse, go up to Dive Rock, and jump... You bounce a bit, the horse dies, you fly off, and turn around to see the horse's corpse flying at you... Here's a screenie :)

Flying Steed

2. Find NPC's that are rude to my character, find out where they live, and silently slip into their houses at night with my razor-edged dagger... You make up the rest :D

3. Assault bandit cave and enemy bases with my Blackpowder Bombs... Thanks to Kevin for that :) Remote bombs, annihilation bombs, shockwave bombs...

Oblivion is so versatile...

I walk around aimlessy. And I turn borders off and go exploring hammerfell and other provinces. Finding the END of the world is so much fun.

Have you found many of the giant ones (nirnroots)? I've found 2, one is near the K in Skingrad (on the map not a giant K lol) the other was in a cave that has an entrance in the river north of bravil. (theres a giant mudcrab in that cave too BTW)

#1- find alot of paintbrushes
#2- find alot of patience(sp?) within yourself
#3- construct a gigantic paintbrush staircase to the top of White-Gold Tower!
#4- once up there, take a screen shot so i can see.
#5- think of every reason why you hate you character
#6- throw yourself off
#7- rinse & repeat

Yup, that works. Ever tried it in real life? Doesn't exactly work. Not that I want to kill my character, I just thought climbing really high'd be fun.

Lemme see, when I'm really bored... I... well, I'm bored. I guess I start a new character or a new mod, whichever suits me most. They die in just days, mods and characters alike.

I usually will just kill a few a people, and steal all their stuff. I might just go on a rampage if I'm really bored, but I usually stick to stealth.
