10 Overpowered Video Game Items Created UNINTENTIONALLY

6. Skooma - The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Oblivion, like most Bethesda games, is plagued with bugs and glitches. Most of them are either frustrating or hilarious, but in the case of Skooma, Tamriel's favorite drug, its associated bug is a surprisingly useful tool (and still pretty hilarious)!

You see, Oblivion's Skooma, unlike its Skyrim counterpart, increases your character's speed when you consume it. Also unlike Skyrim, Oblivion (or rather, its glitches) allows you to stack the effects of consumed potions to create ridiculously potent results.

Using a glitch that happens when you pause the game, you can duplicate a big stack of the rare Skooma bottles, and then using another similar technique to stack the speed bonus of each Skooma you consume, you can infuse your character with a speed boost that will allow them to move across the entire map with just one step.

The result is as silly as it is useful, letting you fast travel or escape danger with a click of a button (and chugging down a barrel of drugs, of course).

Just remember not to consume too much Skooma, or your supercharged speed will propel you into becoming Cyrodiil's first astronaut.
