The only reason it’s rated M is because a mod now let me explain what a mod is this is important. A mod is something you have to get from the internet and it was never put in the game you have to put it in the game which is easy though you need stuff. And someone mad a mod for the game that add nudity and that got the game rated M it was originally rated T but it got changed to M over that.

Very good game but NOT for people under 18
The game was first rated AO (adults only). Not only because of the grusome sences and blood and gore. But there was a sex and nudity mod. It was way too far as it was released to the public. People played it and even kids and teens aswell. It was then taken down a year later as microsoft threatend to ban the game and remove it if they do not take it down. (As to this day this mod no longer exists. But you can still find it somewhere floating around) Then the game was rated T mistakenly. Now to this day its now rated M for mostly for very strong disturbing horror themes, blood and gore and shown corpses. As well as disturbing storys, strong use of alcahol and suggestive themes and gameplay.

Alot of effort to setup on PC, a lot of other complexities.
Very difficult to setup on PC, and the core roleplaying mechanics really show it's oversights and flaws after level 15. More information can be found at the UESP wiki , specifically the article "The leveling problem."
It shows the emergence of Bethesda's simplification of the roleplaying system in their games to capitalize on a larger market. I would suggest Morrowind for a better roleplaying experience, It has aged but can be improved technologically with the significantly easier to setup with the fan made engine "OpenMW".

Best rpg ever!
Just got Elder Scrolls IV today and it is amazing! Little violence and way cheaper and better than Skyrim which btw I own as well so not being unfair. Little blood but that is ok for kids 12 and up. Easy controls to learn too.

PG game with well built world.
Oblivion is an open-world fantasy RPG. You start as a prisoner in the Imperial City prison. Through a mix up, you end up in a cell with a secret escape route that is needed by the emperor. You escape, but the emperor dies, as well as his heirs all across the continent. You are thrown headfirst into leading the defense against a demonic invasion. Oblivion has multiple factions of varying morality and skillsets, and the world can change in subtle ways based on who you help to gain power. As time goes on, people come to respect your name, whether out of adoration or fear is your decision. It has puzzles of various difficulties, as well as settings to turn down gore and/or difficulty. Do note it can have some dark/angry themes when you travel through the demons' portals into their realm (to close them). Characters are shown in various states of drunkenness, and there are skooma dens where addicts to the drug skooma are. There are also instances of hell, damn, and bastard.

One of the best video games ever!
I first played this game in 1st grade. When I was like, 6. It was SO fun! I loved it and still do now, 6 years later! So, what I mean to say is, that game is awesome and fun for kids of all ages! (Even though I was ready for it, at age 6, your kids might get scared because there are monsters, just saying)

Phenomenal, controversial RPG
I bought this game about a year for my Xbox One. Considering its from 2005, the Blood and Gore descriptor on the rating should be taken with a grain of salt. The blood in the Halo games looks more realistic than this, and the sexual themes include some mild innuendo and double-entendres in dialogue and some in-game books. People can be stripped down to their underwear, but its not too graphic and it only occurs when you steal a dead person's clothing/armor. The language is fairly mild, with the strongest word being b--tard. The game is incredibly difficult, with only one difficulty level and the numerical values depicting your stats really decide how brawls and battles will end. My advice is to spend time away from the main questline and get familiar with the controls, join a guild, and complete contracts and miniquests to earn gold to take weapons training from certain vendors. Guards are about impossible to kill unless you have completed the main storyline and have really good stats, weapons, and armor. There is the horse armor controversy that happened back in 2007-08, but I haven't encountered it in the Xbox One Edition because the Xbox Live Marketplace is shut down. You can also drink alcoholic beverages, but without any graphic outcomes, such as blurred vision and the like. Your fatigue stats just raise levels, and you can't use a weapon as well.
TL;DR- Very fun but difficult RPG. Stands the test of time as Skyrim's wiser, older brother.
