Why is oblivion rated M?

Answer 1

Well, oblivion used to be rated "T" for Teen, but was soon changed. The main reason for this change was because the ESRB rating checkers only played the game on the Xbox360 platform. They decided that the Ps3 and the PC were them same. They were wrong. Well they were wrong for at least the PC versoin. In almost all PC game there are "mods" and "add-ons" that players of the game make themselves. Most of these mods were harmless, but of course someone has to make a "inappropriate" one. This mod would make women appear to be "topless". Once the ESRB was notified of this, they immidiatly revieved the game on the PC and rendured it "M". They also had to change the rating on the Console game, to fit with ESRB standards. Now on the box of every game it says "Mature, M 17+. Blood and gore, SEXUAL THEMES, language, use of alchol, and violence. Once the "sexual themes" was added, all gaming retialers were forced to remard the game Oblivion.

Answer 2

The original version of "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" did come out rated "T." Oblivion was almost crossing the line of a 'Mature rating' with content of: Violence, Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Language, and Use of Alcohol. When the game first came out for PC and Xbox 360, it was a best-seller. After it had been out for a while, PC hackers found out that they could hack the game and were able to access a "Locked-Out" art file which allowed the user to play the game with a topless female character due to the topless skin that they had found. Because ESRB had found out, they recalled all the of the Oblivion games worldwide and reprinted the label of them as "Mature (17+)." Now, the game labels say:

Mature (17+)

Violence

Blood and Gore

Sexual Themes

Language

Use of Alcohol

Nudity

Answer 3

because of its graphic game, the game designers made it so it is a T rated game but the Rateing department checks for certain things and found it was qualified as a M Rated game.
