Bethesda Responds To Oblivion Re-Rating

Gamespot has details on Bethesda's response to the ESRB for their (some would argue) knee-jerk reaction to fan-added elements of Oblivion. From the article: "There is no nudity in Oblivion without a third party modification. In the PC version of the game only - this doesn't apply to the Xbox 360 version - some modders have used a third party tool to hack into and modify an art archive file to make it possible to create a mesh for a partially nude (topless) female that they add into the game. Bethesda didn't create a game with nudity and does not intend that nudity appear in Oblivion." They go on to state they submitted a 60-page document detailing the violence in the game. If anyone is at fault here, I think it's the ESRB.

AHHH !!! A TIT !!!! IN A MOD !!!

Won't somebody think of the children !?!?!

I believe they should also ban US children from travelling to the French Riviera since they'll get to see many more corrupting (and real-live) tits over there.

Yeah, it's rediculous

I'm gonna hack Super Mario Brothers DS. I'm gonna make it so that the princess will be topless, and Mario will be running around with his tallywacker swinging all over the place.

I'm gonna put it on the internet so that people can download it and install it.

ESRB is going to change the rating of Super Mario Brothers DS to "M" for mature.

Just you watch.

Y

Windows (M for Mature)

Heck someone could use their computer to view inappropriate material (I am shocked). Windows should be the next target: it allows you to play games (some M for mature), view pr0n, and even kill people (military systems).

ESRB cannot protect children from things they see or do in the real world - but at least they can keep them ignorant, of the real world, in the virtual one.

where we didn't blame every single thing we could irrationally connect to the President on him, and get modded up for it

Exactly! That's what Microsoft was for, and we loved it!

Kids these days...

That's called "responsibility." When you're in charge of the country, yes, you have to answer for everything that goes on.

That is so irrational. I got lost my virginity during the Clinton administration and I'll be god dammed if you are going to give him credit for it.

Windows?

Please, someone make a nudity hack to Solitaire...

You don't want your children seeing a naked boob on the hooker they just butchered with a chainsaw either.

Next time just assume 90 other people will, as in every single other thread like this, and skip it. Slashdot's already repetitive enough with the crappy jokes and the "dupe!" posts.

Yeah, but then I wouldn't have gotten to use my "jump up their own butts" line. :(

I find it far more offensive...

[ChaoticCoyote]

...that they put breasts on reptiles. Dear god, think of all those kids who play Oblivion and end up looking for tits on a snake.
