Actually from what I heard Bethesda somehow managed to hide the realm of Oblivion from the ESRB saving it from the M rating. It was later found so the game got pulled and re deistributed with the M rating.
I thought it was the Dark Brotherhood stuff that actually pushed it over... All I said was that the nude-mod controversy got them to look at it again, but that's just hearsay I suppose...

I'm not 100 percent sure either but this discussion came up in one of my game development buisness classes last semester. We spent a week on video game controversy and Oblivion took up 3 of those 5 days. Apperently Oblivion is one of the most controversial games. Not to the media like GTA but to the industry itself. It's not technically bad controversy either. The controversy surrounding Oblivon is because it's one of the most modder friendly game that entire sites (like the nexus) are devoted soley to making mods for the game. Basically some companies think Bethesda is using underhanded methods by using a third party (us) to essentially create content for their game and in turn help sell it. They think that Bethesda is basically using slave labor. Others are concerned about the adult content flooding into the mod community and are concerned it will affect children. Should that be true the ironic thing about that is, you need to be 17 to buy the game. Then finally there are those that thing games like oblivion are a huge break through in the gameing industry and Bethesda should be looked up to as pioneers in the gaming industry. My instructor was a member of a semi large development company owned by microsoft. Just in case the question pops up he was in the 3rd category.

lol, when have you seen rating stopping anyone buying a game? I'm 14 and i just go and buy a game, no matter what the rating, the guy behind the counter doesn't seem to care, and neither do i.

Well, I voted in the 40+ group, because I AM :blush:

I play with adult mods installed, but have the blood turned OFF, and I am playing with a mod that removes all the zombies and replaces them with skeletons....

Not quite sure what that says about me..... :P

Oh bloody hell, thanks a bunch.

 

Couldn't you have run this poll before 8th May when I turned 40?

 

Or how about at least adding more categories besides just 40+? :P

 

Cheers, young whippersnapper.

 

 

Edit - Anyway, that is only our official age. I think anybody playing games is a lot younger at heart and it is a good way to remain so. :)

I voted 40+ because there is no 60+

 

 

Same here 40+ ( over 60). I guess the person running this poll did not think anyone over 60 would play Oblivion.

 

Aye and so far us old fogeys are in the majority!

 

Kids these days...... *mutters and grumbles*

 

:verymad:

Technically, beating out all the other categories doesn't put said category in the majority. 16-25 has more, for example.

 

 

Umm, eh? What? There is no 16-25 category. You can't just lump two categories together in order to prove my point moot. :P

 

Again, kids today!
