That's the beauty of the game. ROLEPLAY. It's about self limitation, not trying to become an ubercharacter within the system. It's an important lesson. If it's all about the stats, you'r just manipulating 0 and 1s. If it's roleplay it's about imagination. Roleplay requires self limitations to work. "No... that's out of character" etc.

But the beautiful open ended nature of the game means you can do that or not. In most games people find hacks and cheats that do exactly as you say, so why not build it into the game itself as Morrowind has done?

Hands down Morrowind is the best game I've ever played.
