» Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:55 pm I agree with the OP that it does not really make sens in a polytheietic game world. "Gods damn you" would be more appropriate I think. The real problem I have with this cursing is that my 5 year old son likes to hang out with Daddy and play some games. I don't like him to hear cursing. But I don't hear that word very often in the game, and you can't keep kids sheltered from everything forever.
What I CAN do is make sure he never repeats it. Also, the GD curse was in Oblivion, when you do the Kvatch event, the guard captain uses it.
It's just another example of a gaming company trying to be "edgy" but ultimately, as the OP pointed out - showing us all thier lack of creativity.

But that is exactly what it says with the subtitles on, and its what the characters say. It might be easy to hear it and instantly go NOPE NOPE NOPE and get mad because its what you want to (used to hearing) hear and not what is really said.
The diehard christians I know that would take offensive such as yourself, wouldn't even play this game at all. Its all sacrilege.
:shakehead:
Hmm.
I think it's more likely as Donner suggested.... outside the (I would imagine) more religious circles where people might be very offended by that phrase, I don't think anyone considers it a particularly strong epithet, or anything remotely approaching "edgy".
(I mean, in my mind, it's certainly got nothing on any of the racial slurs I've heard, and certainly nothing like the profanity you'd run into in, say, a GTA game, or in the military or on a loading dock.)

GTA is much worse, as are several other games, but here we are discussing this one.
