Sex & Nudity
-
- Lots of cleavages
- In one specific area, if you talk to a character, they will ask you if you know what the fine for necrophilia is.
- Innuendo.
- There are innuendoes and references throughout the game, but rarely are they blatantly sexual or perverted.
- You have the ability to take everything from a dead body leaving them clad only in a loin cloth for males or a bra and panties for females.
- No nudity, however there are some files about naked body which was unused in game. One of the reason ESRB changed its rating.
Violence & Gore
-
- The Dark Brotherhood quest lines are completely optional, and very easy to avoid.
- The zombies are pretty gory.
- The game frequently sees the main character engage in combat with vast numbers of different animals and enemies.
- Quests will often involve killing someone, legally or illegally.
- Enemies will sometimes bleed when you kill them. Often, you can see a splash of blood of you shoot one with an arrow in a sneak attack. Also, there will often be a small puddle of blood left in the spot where your enemy was standing when you shot him or her.
- Enemies will often cry out in pain or surprise when you kill them.
- You can't do any visible damage to the body of your opponents.
- Wolves will often attack you, and you can kill them, and they often yelp in pain. Also keep in mind that the appearance of a wolf in this game is a lot more cute and dog-like than in Skyrim, so killing them in this game might be a little more disturbing and seem a little more like animal cruelty.
- Animals bleed a lot more in this game than in Skyrim. For some reason it seems to be the opposite for human deaths though.
- Necromancer caves have many dead bodies and severed heads.
- The Dark Brotherhood are all about killing innocent people.
- In caves, however, you'll discover corpses is various states of decay and mutilation however the player can not inflict any mutilation.
Profanity
-
- "Bastard" is used occasionally
- "Ass" is used by an orc once
- Some characters will sometimes use some milder swear words when you engage in conversation with them, but it is rare and swearing is not a common feature in the game.
- Crap is the most common word.
- "damn"
- "dammit"
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Characters may drink various alcoholic beverages in the game. Temporarily, this will boost their health, but lower their acrobatic and athletic skills.
- Characters may also drink bottles of an illegal drug called "skooma." Temporarily, this will boost their speed and strength, but lower their intelligence and agility.
- This is not shown explicitly and your character cannot get "drunk" because the game refuses to let you drink many potions or alcohol. It's no worse than Morrowind.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Following the missions in the game often sees you moving through dark places like caves which some people may find scary.
- Some of the creatures you encounter can also be quite scary for some people, specifically the zombies which have a rotting, mutilated look.
- The plains of Oblivion are a hell-like realm and some players will find it creepy and/or scary.
- Parts of the plains of Oblivion have severed and bloodied heads stuck on poles, as well as some bloodied corpses.
- There are also sections in the game which involve fighting ghosts/phantoms, and some players may find the ghosts scary.
- In the Shivering Isles Downloadable Content Pack, the Daedric Prince of Madness, Sheogorath, can quickly change mood to a roaring maniac.
- These changes are unpredictable, and sometimes he makes threaths, such as ''Ta, come back again, Or I'll pluck out your eyes!'' and other detailed suggestions.
- The first level is the most violent in the game.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- There is a moment in a a part of the game that was very controversial back when this game came out that showed a rotting corpse hanging upside down, which caused the game to be re-rated from a T for Teen rating to a M for Mature rating from the ESRB.
- The Oblivion dimension has gory decapitated heads on sticks and hanging rotting corpses.
- One quest involves killing an innocent in order to be initiated into the "Dark Brotherhood".
