Bethesda...Mature Themes?

Post » Thu May 03, 2012 8:39 am

That's the ideal. The reality is some parents get their kids whatever, don't keep a proper eye on their online and gaming habits, then when their kids get in trouble for something, they start throwing blame in any direction but their own.

This is so true, I remember when there was like a huge fuss over kids and grand theft auto, i mean, the 13 yr old didnt walk into gamestop and buy the [censored] game

personaly i think you wont see much sixuall content in beth games now and i the future , and thats oke i think its not theyre style and they dont need it too make interesting things in theyre games , but 1 liners like " The Horisontal Bump" and other gimmiks in text can be funny enough for me .

PS:i was playing witcher 2 last time and in the first 5 minutes of the story ive seen a naked woman curling on the bed is this what people want if its sixual content ? or is it a bit cheap ?

I think its a bit cheap, i mean are those seens really required to move the story along, im like that even if im watching a movie, like really cant it just black out and let us just assume "ok yeah they had six" atleast to me its unnecessary.

Haelga, in Riften. Her associated quest, as well as items found in her bedroom, are quite sixual.
I believe it's Brynjolf who tells you that his Falmer Blood Elixir allows you to 'make love like a sabrecat'.
While not technically sixual, Mikael the bard wrote 'A gentlemans guide to Whiterun', which basically describes the women of Whiterun as potential love interests.

Honestly, I'm glad that Skyrim isn't full of sixual content. It'd ruin the game for me - I play Skyrim because I want an RPG, not an advlt film. :smile:

I agree, i hate games and tv shows were it's all six all the time. my friend plays a game where this is more six then action...

People just want something to complain over. Something to make others think they should be offended. Something to... And this post is becoming a Nightwish song. Let's not go on with the word something being the beginning of two sentences.

Anyway, wasn't that whole thing just a certain man named Jack(that doesn't play card games on motorcycles) at the beginning of his notorious ideas of everything fun being evil? Or is this the Governator's idea that his violent movie roles were any better than the things done in a video game? Ya know, politicians being offended by a video game makes them all seem the same, but that's just me.

Between referencing six slaves, tales of [censored] and a daedric prince known as the "King of [censored]" I say there's plenty of sixual content/theme in the TES series.

video games have a bigger impact on the violent tendencies on kids then movies or shows, our brains learn better and quicker from doing things, and when we are rewarded for doing an action like killing someone. i only know this becuase i have to do a research paper on it for school.

Never have I heard anyone from gamesas utter the words "sixual Content".
I've heard plenty of "sixual Themes" though, and some people tend to misunderstand this. It is subtle hints to what happens behind closed doors, not BEWBS!!!!11!. :dry:

Its because female nudity in any media causes fat soccer moms in america to complain about the kids but the real reason is it makes them feel insecure...the truth in this is that male nudity isnt complained about, no one said anything about full frontal male nudity in gta but the girls nipble are still taped with a big X for "evil"

America is edited...i can say this because i'm american and disgusted by how soft and sensitive society is now

Yeah, I have to agree on some of those points. It is sort of twisted for it to be worse with something completely natural like the human body and six, while sick violence isn't frowned upon. I often feel it's opposite here in Europe, nudity embraced sooner than violence. One of the only games I've seen with some close-on nudity and six is the Witcher 2, which is Polish. Coincidence? I think not.

Given that there are tons of mods that let you put photoshop sixy character models into the game, and 'other' stuff, I don't see how you can be complaining.

And I'm GLAD there's no or little sixual content in the game beyond references. If I want sixual content I'll go watch a pormo.

true, america is backwards, a murderous bloodbath is ok but a female nipble slip makes headlines. I've been to europe and a beach in south france where women were tanning topless and kids were playing just fine...1 little girl was nvde and no one really noticed or cared and the kids werent ruined forever by the sight of female boobs like american moms think

I think america wouldnt be so uptight if female nudity wasnt shunned as the devils work..

This is true. Violent video games absolutely desensitize the people who play them to killing and death in general. The American culture is interesting in the fact that gruesome violence is basically accepted while there is still a taboo on sixual content (a completely superficial one at that). Both ultimately end in the degradation of the human person... both diminish the worth of the human person. By showing sixually gratuitous scenes, the human actors in them become recognized as nothing more than sixual objects that are useful in so much as they gratify some sixual need or desire. Continued exposure to it results in this mentality spilling over into everyday life... porm is the biggest destroyer of meanigful relationships, marriage, and true unitive six.

Then you have gratuitous violence. The human person, similarly to how they are portrayed through gratuitous sixual themes, becomes an animal. Something dispensible, something that can be killed for whatever purpose and done without remorse (or like you said, even with positive reward). A child raised on violent video games may not run out and start shooting their neighbors, but there is more of a chance that the child, when he grows older will be more callous, cold, and less empathetic to the weak... and even fantasize about killing people they don't like or don't care about.

Both result in the same end, but only one is superficially taboo in this country. It's rather odd.

ha you're opinion is so flawed i would need to write a whole page to address it all. Being exposed to six and violence doesnt make one predisposed to committing acts of it. I grew up in a bad area of nyc where i was exposed to all kinds of violence and bad sides of life yet i'm no murderer, dealer, thug etc. In fact being exposed to all that made me stronger and want to rise above it all. I had to grow up fast but i grew up strong.

You're theory might apply to kids who are sheltered from six and violence, living in a nice area with no clue of the horrors of the world...then being suddenly exposed to gruesome violence and six might have a serious effect on them.

Thats why imo you should expose them to it in small.doses via mediums like video games...start with rated teen game violence and gradually play more mature games as they mature mentally and can understand a game is only a game...

As for porm ruining marriage...marriage ruins marriage, porm only lets us look without touching so we honor our vows while still exploring fantasies that our wives arent into. Men are naturally hunter gatherers who like the thrill of hunting something new...women are naturally nesters who like to find someplace nice to settle down and want that 1 male who's right for them to be their mate

While it might have made you strong mentally, such horrors through childhood can be simply too much or traumatic for some. I'm blessed to live in a peaceful country with little criminality in my area. Drugs are a major problem in my city, but I've learned to deal with these poor people who succumb to the drugs. I feel no fear or disgust, only compassion for these poor sods. You growing up like that and turning out fine might not apply to everyone.
But as far as I know, trouble at home with alcohol, drugs, criminality and violence is one of the biggest factors for growing up to become criminals.

I guess there's more truth to this than some realize. Sheltering your children from the world forever isn't going to help them in the long run. They must face the world we live in if we are to have any hope of changing it.
And I played Zelda at three without my parents batting an eye at all, I had supervision if they thought it was a little too bad for me. I'm fourteen, but generally play the games I want to play. I'm mature for my age I keep hearing, and I guess that have something to do with how I've been exposed to the world since young age.

Well, watching porm while in a relationship isn't something I would do I guess, but what do I know? My first and greatest crush rejected me, and here I am hopelessly chasing her. :confused:
I can't really comment on this, but I don't think I would at least.

But okay, I think I got my points clear. Let's return to the original topic at hand, no? Don't want to go hijacking threads, that's mean.

Edit: Crapload of typos. :sweat:

Please provide a source where Bethesda said that.

Unless I missed it somehow the OP didn't an probably can't. Unless he means the M rating which of course is not Bethesda, and more likely assigned due to mature plot lines (ie being a murderer) and violence. I don't recall Bethesda every making the claim the OP refers to.

This is Skyrim general, not Society general. Please keep discussions relevant to the game. If you want to discuss (American) culture, take it to Community Discussion. Thanks.
