User blog comment:HaafingarGuard/My Parents Won't Let Me Play Oblivion/@comment-4544033-20120625001455

Im Sorry to hear your not being able to play two Very good games, however I have always been on an agreement with my parents when it came to the “My house, my bills, my rules” thing. I do however have something you can do.

If your under 18, sit down with your parents and ask them to first explain what they see as a violent game. Oblivion and skyrim both have some blood in them, they also have mild language and drug reference. Ask them what there alterative ideas are, and see if you cant come to a middle. If you need to, have them go with you to a Game stop or PlayNtrade and have the person there tell them more about Skyrim and Oblivion. And you can show them my comment here when I say that both game have some things not suitable for kids, but at the end  I find that these games are nowhere near as bad as other rated M games.

If your over 18, I still say talk with them, but remind them your are 18 and you should bealbe to have more le-way in the games you get to play, as long as you are doing your chores, Homework, ECT. If they still refuse to let you play these games, and your over 18 you are and adult and can move out. But if that’s not a choice you need to work harder to prove you are mature and can be trusted with these games. Sorry for the long rant, but if you need more just ask.
