Elder Scrolls Oblivion mod makes girls' tops fall off

We boobed, says ratings board
Thursday, 4 May 2006, 11:17
FANTASY GAME the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has had its rating tweaked after censors at the Entertainment Software Rating Board discovered you could get girls in the game to get their kit off.

The thought of a few pixellated nipples had the worthies on the Board reaching for the marker pen and crossing out the 'teen' rating they'd recommended for the role-playing fantasy romp. In its place they scrawled 'Mature', having decided that you should be at least seventeen before being allowed to see a 3D rendering of a naked breast.

The boob came to light after the censors learned of a mod for the title that renders female characters topless.

Publisher Take Two suffered a similar fate after the "Hot Coffee" mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas tipped up that allowed players to bang hoes like there's no tomorrow. The game-maker was responsible for that mod and its not yet entirely clear where the latest one came from.

Take Two remains un-miffed. Spokesman Jim Ankner said "We don't expect there to be a financial impact," according to Reuters.

Most copies of the game sold so far are for the Xbox 360 and that version is un-modded and therefore free of corrupting mammaries. µ

What?!

Since when is user created content the fault of the game producers? All they do is create the game and release it, it's not up to them what people do with it, and how come everybody complains that games are too immature and not a replacement for movies but the moment a game trys to be mature and use mature content, they get slated by the world, its brother and Jack Thompson? If movies are released daily involving gore, guns, sex and drugs, then why is it so forbidden in games? There are more adult gamers than the world thinks.

HEYY

So, Bethesda release a perfectly innocent RPG, which is then modified beyond recognition by some teenage perverts, and they decide it's the games fault?

I could take any PC game and mod it so the females are topless, but because they've chosen Oblivion they change the age rating, what BULLSHIT
