Congrats Bethesda on a "Clean" game : V

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 6:55 pm

After FO New Vegas I was very hesitant in purchasing another Bethesda game. have a 12 yr old daughter that loves the sandbox style and had to keep her out of Vegas. Purchased Skyrim couple weeks ago and hard to put it down. Kudos, very clean game for a kid to play.

When you say "clean" what exactly do you mean by this? you can still chop peoples heads off you know. Are you referring to language?

Now if only I could stop having dreams where I am decapitating people.

Im confused.

Maybe he's talking about all the cannibalism.

Eh, he's probably from the US. Anything is "clean" for us as long as there's no sixual content. I mean, hanging a man with his own entrails is all well and good, but two people having intercourse is disgusting! Fading to black doesn't help either. Double-bad if it is out of wedlock.

I bought the game in the UK and it's rated 15. Personally, I think that it should be rated 18, so how can it be "clean" for a 12 year old child?

this.

Its how most of us are. Im a 22 year old dude, so these things don't bother me, if I had a daughter sixual content probably would. But gore? never

I think it's the beheadings. That's pretty common these days and nothing for kids to be disturbed about.

In the FO series "F" bombs all around, girls in vegas in g-strings and pasties on their nips. Watching a horror flick with blood is one thing because it's not real, but six is another story. Hard to watch that sort of thing with your kid folks.

Yeah, I think I saw it on "Weeds".

Clean? You mean as in sixual content?

It's still pretty violent. I mean, the first thing you see is a clear and graphic depiction of a prisoner getting his head chopped off.

Or do you mean the curse words? They still yell out "[censored]!" and "damn it!" but that's about as vulgar as they get using real world terms.

I think this is a very dark game. Whether darker than others, I can't say, but I'm not sure I'd let a child play it. I guess if hearing the "f" word or seeing fully exposed TT is the only thing you think is not "clean," then the game rates as such.

Lusty Argonian made.

You go run in panic to markfordelete that stuff.

Also, the game has real-world stuff like: murder, drugs, exploitation, corruption, theft, racism, etc, and stimulates those to top it off. I wouldn't call it "clean" at all. But if your concern solely focused on sixuality and dirty booboo words then I suppose you might call it clean, even though I think that's sort off short sighted.

The standard story for non-quest-line dungeons is some tragic tale of madness, horror and disaster. But actually I don't think it matters that much. Stuff that is actually dangerous for kids of that age is like depression, alcohol, things like that. So long as the parent are half-way engaged I think they can handle a pretty wide range of fiction by the time they are getting into the teens.

Not to forget you then take your turn getting your own head chopped with a nice zoomed in first person view of the previous prisoner's head still in it's basket ready to received the second one.

My country is a bit depressing.

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, variety of your network t.v series, most concern racsim, death, and dark magic. Open relationship with my kid and talk about the dangers of drugs, decison making and all that in real life. Just rather her see a computer image of fake blood rather than computer graphic of boobs, six, and hearing the f bombs.

voilence has never really been an issue, if you ever read old fairytales they are kinda graphic, like the story about the three billygoats, where the oldest one stabs the trolls eyes out and throws him down the waterfall, or the kid that had an eating competition with the troll, and tricked the troll into cutting his stommach open so his guts spilled out, and then he proceeded to steal his treasure while the troll was dying. its not just an american thing, its been around for ages.

Not to mention up to 80% of our defenseless baby boys have the sensitive functional part of their genitals viciously amputated at birth according to some barbaric religious blood ritual, for no medically valid reason in hospitals by doctors who swore an oath to “do no harm,” in this most technologically advanced nation on the planet.

Really shows where our heads are at, and our level of evolution and enlightenment as a people.

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 12:53 pm

Wow, really?
Just.. wow.

I shall never understand why a natural thing as a human body is worse than extreme violence.
Im a European, we went to beaches on vacation when I was a kid. nvde beaches too.
Didnt really ruin me or anything, except give me a healthy disposition when it comes to a human body.
i.e. I see no reason to freak out over something like a nipble just like I wouldnt upon seeing an ankle.

SHHHH!!! You are scaring my wee wee.

Fairytales are remarkably sixual too.
Take for instance rumpelstiltskin.
A woman sits on a stool and spins gold from straw?
And what is a stilt with a rumpeled skin?
Hem-hem.

Or take the one with the glass slipper, which is a mistranslation of fur slipper.
The prince goes around town trying if the slipper fits with every girl until he finds the right one?
O..k.

Hm. Forsworn? Dark Brotherhood questline? Molag Bal? Dibella?

Skyrim is somewhat sanitized, but not really "clean"...

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 3:15 pm

I understand what the OP says. I grew up on horror movies and gore as a kid, but sixual content was almost forbidden. Im going to raise my kids same way. To me, horror, gore, etc is part of american culture and just for fun

Testify brother.

On the original topic, a kid is more likely to rebel by swearing and having six than decapitating people, I guess that is kind of the idea.
