It starts when you talk to someone in anvil, and then you go to someone who got robbed by the sirens. I thought how they would just mention "good nights" and "you-know-what", but would outright mention sex, it was rather funny. You go to their barn and when they ask you to take of your close, your only option is no, and after that they attack you. One has a rather valuable dagger on it, so look closely for it. You get gold and whatnot after the quest is done, no sexually explicit content, just some funny sayings for sex.

The magic isn't connected to any deity and is just fantasy magic (fireballs, lightning, etc.) it doesn't resemble any kind of witchcraft/necromancy/satanism, except maybe the conjuring spells, they look slightly occult-ish. Fantasy magic is my favorite part. Its like from the Wheel of time books, its just there. WoT is a great series (good allegory stuff to) Look at this if it concerns you (or just want a laugh) <a href="http://www.theescapist.com/spells/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theescapist.com/spells/</a> As for "The Nine", it shouldn't be a concern unless you have trouble telling fact from fiction or your faith is almost non-existent to believe in some religion in a video game. The gods in TES IV are split into daedra and aedra, daedra are bad and aedra are good. You can get specific quests from these characters, but not much beyond that. All of them combined don't hold a sliver of power that God does. Plus it really adds to the story. They may sound pagan-ish, but I don't know all that much about pagans, so it doesn't concern me. The good balances the bad, if you looked hard enough you'd see a lot of underlying religion based themes. I fail to see how Oblivion looks like hell, because there is no definite description of hell, besides being a lake of fire. Although, the oblivion planes are usually surrounded by lava, so I don't know. I have put over 100 hours into this game and I can say, its simply the best RPG I've ever played.

I like playing RPGs like this because they allow you to be something your not. My favorite races are the beast like ones, I think it would be seeing what it would be like to be part animal and part human. Its a fun game and I think its one of my favorites. Also, I think games like this should be judged by the content and the person playing, some content can only be unlocked if you do evil things, some only if you do good. I think this game is great.

As for violence, I think its not to unreasonable, if you can handle it. Magic , I think, is not based or caused by any god(s) And finally, as for the 9 divines, its not like your worshiping them. You have the choice, but you don't have to. I think that its a good game and it can be played in moderation. Just keep your faith in check. P.S.
