Anyone know where the sixual content can be found in the game. Just curious if this content is part of a specific quest line like the dark brotherhood or appears randomly throughout the world or even in the main quest. Ay help?

Not looking for a spoiler, just curious if this is contained or not.

If it's on the rating, then it's in the game.
There you go.

Thanks captain obvious. I am curious as to where it appears in the game. If I'd like to avoid it, is it possible or am I going to run into it randomly no matter how hard I try.

Admit it, you want to find it

Why would you want to avoid it so enthusiastically?

Is your mom in Skyrim?

I have never heard of such naughtiness, I really have not.

Thanks captain obvious.

Anytime!

Seriously though, could just be the fact that women in their skivvies are particularly sixy. Yay sideboob!
Or maybe a sixual fade-to-black for married characters. I don't know. Could be anything.

The esrb mentions some specific comments that are pretty explicit. I am interested in avoiding that and similar content. Just curious if it's possible. Not really looking to have my motives questioned or for insults.. Just looking for a sensible, clear response from a knowledgable forum member or community rep from Bethesda. Would really appreciate the info!!

Hey now, no need to get all defensive.

Simple fact is, nobody really knows yet. People -just- got the game 10-12+ hours ago, and most are too busy playing it.

That's cool... Just hoping someone knew or Beth might help out. It's all good. Anyone else out there run into this stuff yet?

» Thu Jun 07, 2012 6:07 pm

Just thought I'd try one last time to discover if this content is in the game and where.... Anyone come across it?

Yes, there is a perk that you get when married that gives you bonuses because you are sleeping with your spouse. sixual content is simply a label that is slapped on anything that might be found offensive. This could be as simple as cleavage, the bikinis the women wear under their clothes, or even just having the whole temple of Dibella devoted to 'pleasurable' pursuits.

There doesn't have to be something as obvious as nudity or six scenes. Its a label on the game for the sole purposes of CYA. (Most people will know that acronym)

Sounds like the OP is trying to avoid acronyms like CYA...careful, careful... :blink:

Good luck, this community is full of ignonomous grunts.

I'm having hard time not questioning the OPs motives. Or has he played the game for almost two months in terrible fear of running into "mature themes" and magically managed to avoid all of it?

Ah, the age-old Moral Superiority schtick. Never gets old, does it?

People in general and kids specifically.

You can see old and young people and the population numbers seem to be stable even though the death count is enormous. You know what that means? There is a lot of banging going on. There you go.

There isn't any gratuitous six scenes or graphic nudity. And I've been playing Skyrim for like, I don't know, 80+ hours?
If you want a reference, the "sixual content" in Skyrim is nothing compared to say... Dragon Age Origins,DAII, or The Witcher. (And the former two are slightly tame.)
The only things that are even remotely near "explicit" (if you could call it that) are: characters in their skivies, mentions of six-related words,derogatory terms and/or related subjects (that have certain connotations but do not go into explicit detail), art, and beasts that are shapely.No asthetic graphic details.No long lip-locking.No dry-humping or teasing.And certainly no live productions of The Lusty Argonian Maid. lol

there is a quest

Spoiler

you have to track down all the men a woman slept with, in order to put her to shame

The big statues of Dibella in the temple in Markarth are straight up topless.

Skyrim is Rated M for Mara.

Damnable amulet.

That's just religious idolatry, the good kind.

There are certain quests etc, that have sixual overtones. Example- a necromancer finds a tomb full of almost exclusively female draugr and in his journal he starts reminincing about the milk maids in a nearby town, and then later he records that he finds himself thinking of those women when examining the female draugr. The inference is that he's attracted to the dead he is reanimating, sixually. the journal almost- but not quite- spells it out

It might refer to the character mods that we know will be available shortly after the Construction Kit is released. Rule 34.
