Reception

The reception needs to be rewritten... at least the cons section as alot is comes off as personal opinion despite there being a number of real reviewers with actual cons. Stabby Joe (talk)

Proposed merge of ESRB re-rating of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion#Rating change

MERGE

After nearly a month, there is a SNOW consensus the page needs to be merged. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article itself states that "the events passed by with little notice from the public at large". Overall, it seems like a "much ado about nothing" situation that can easily be summed up in several paragraphs in the main article, if that.

Ultimately, Oblivion remained extremely popular despite the M rating, and Skyrim got an M rating from the get-go and became one of the most popular games of all time, making it dubiously relevant as a controversy.

I should add that the FAC for the article was very basic and lax, being done in 2007 when standards were far lower than they are now, so it shouldn't be a reason to retain the article simply because of that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. The basic details can easily be summarized and covered here. -- ferret (talk) 19:13, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. This is a relic of an older time in WP:VG's history when we spent a lot of time seeing if we could without asking if we should. Textbook molehill mountains. There's some meat here to merge, but not that much. Axem Titanium (talk) 18:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. The change of rating post-release was unusual, but not notable enough to warrant an entire article. A healthy sub-section in the main article is sufficient to cover the situation. TomFitz77 (talk) 00:42, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cast?

I read some of the voice actor names in the plot section of the article, but is there another one with the entire Oblivion cast? I specifically want to see who voices Sheogorath, if it's no trouble. Triviatronic9000 (talk) 16:44, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
