Axctually, som modders in Japan who have the english version have already made a few saucy pose mods. Perfect for taking screenshots :)

......link plz
bah, most of them aren't straight up ESPs. Just a few minutes ago I just finished adding some into an existing ESP I got them from Spellhold Studios, and even then some of the links might be dead by now.

Check over there if you want (google spellhold studios and it should be the first result-check the "Oblivion Screenshots" section) as I really can't be buggered to hunt them down again :(

A lot of western games get a good score at Famistutu but still sell like shit. They dont make jap voice overs because no one usually buys westerns games except western people living in japan, so they just have jap subtitles. Japs are racist gooks.

Well, 38 out of 40 is pretty "bad" when it comes to accuracy in reviewing. But at least Oblivion wasn't awarded the coveted "super number-a one!!!" rating.

Bah, no PC release? And I was looking forward to seeing the JPs mod in tentacle sex, a rape minigame and turning all NPCs into lolis.

Let's see what Famitsu scores are... Oh, they are 10/9/10/9!
I think it's okay, Famitsu has never had the real opportunity to grade a western RPG, and while that is an absurdly high score (only like 7 games have ever gotten 40), at least the market for western rpgs will increase, which could be a good thing.

Including, however, Nintendogs.
Yes, because it's obviously really really good. That and they got simpering 9 year old girls who had the game for all of 4 days to rate it.

That's why you click the link at the bottom of the page that says "in the meantime, check out the forums"

From Bethblog:

Looking at Amazon sales for Europe, the US, and Japan for last week, it looks like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion continues to be a favorite among gamers world wide. In Japan during its first week, it was the top selling Xbox 36o game.

Over in the Europe, Oblivion comes in at #5 on the Amazon’s UK sales Charts for 360 games, over a year after release.

And stateside, Oblivion on PS3 ranked #5 as well.

The japs must love it. It´s always wise to please your japanese costumers with katanas and shrines in a fantasy game.
