heya fellow form buddies

now i have many seen many topics about realistic gore

i for one would love realitcic gore but i know i can't speak for evreyone when saying this but evrey now and again i just want to go absolutly nuts and turn the pleasently green field into a blood filled swamp with numerous bits of my fallen enimies floating around.


so what i suggest is a toggle that will let us decide on the amount of destruction we can do to a npc's body


so................ discuss

Seriously, why do we need another Gore thread when we have like 10 within the first 5 pages, not to mention dozens more in the search function?

This one was specifically asking about an option though. I hate gore, but I wouldn't mind a toggle for people that want it. In fact if it lets you scale it down from default I'd love that even more. Options are great!

even if they decide to not make SK super gorey there will probably be a mod that makes the game have tons of gore.

I don't understand why ppl were saying they don't want/care about blood in game. It's set in a barbaric era where wild beasts, various bandits and other creatures are trying to kill and eat you! I think there should be as realistic graphics as they can include in the game. It makes it more immersive and gratifying to have slain something with all the realism the devs could apply. I agree with the toggle for less blood (graphics) for those who don't like this... btw, for all the pusscakes that are gonna respond to this post with negative feedback, remember that it's a video game in a fantasy world! Speaking of which, I'd like to see some boobers in there too.... maybe a couple barflys that frequent the pubs with little tops n stuff word.

I personally don't mind if there is option to turn it off, but I really don't see the point why should someone buy M rated game and be considered about porm.
It's almost like you buy a porm and get considered by nudity.
Sure, there is soft core porm movies out there, but they do no good since nether will they get you hard (they are called 'soft' for a reason you know) and nether it will completely remove nudity.
Same is with gore here.
You'll be still killing people, but with gore, at least you can do it properly and with full satisfaction.
Also, gore will add weight to act of killing (witch it should) and will not make act of murder look like Super Mario turtle jumping.

No kidding. And they all are a waste of time. Bethesda will put in the amount of gore that will allow them to keep their teen rating. Putting in excess gore will most likely get them a 18+/Mature rating which will alienate the 12-17 year olds, which I imagine are a pretty big sales group. So i doubt they will put in excess gore just for the sake of having excess gore which could result in reduced sales.

It's already confirmed that Bethesda is going to be shooting for an M rating with Skyrim.

Also, Daggerfall and Oblivion (after the re-rate) were both rated M. Technically, the only TES game to have been rated T with its boxed release was Morrowind since Arena came out before there even was an official rating system.

uhhh you do know that they are aiming for an m rating?

I don't know why everyones solutions to everything is just "add an option" it's getting to the point where it is ridiculous. If they add as much options as people want then it won't even be Skyrim by Bethesda game studios, it'll be "Skyrim- whatever game you want it to be". The developers put things into a game to make it good, and it's what they want. Having the option to toggle everything on or off just makes many of the features they added useless because hey i don't like what they do lets turn it off. Seriously just leave gore in to its own level, if its a "mature" game then people should know it'll have gore and if they don't like that then they're playing the wrong game.

We really didnt need another.

actually todd specificly said they were not shooting for any rating. they are just making the game, they care what label gets slapped on it because it doesn't affect their sales. that being said, it is inevitable that they get a M rating because of mods. this happend to OB, it was teen and then was changed to M because of nudity mods.

^ Man's got a point.

There's more to maturity than explicit gore. The Mass Effect series or the game Xenogears are two great examples of this.

Some of us don't like to see it. I play a game to have fun and not be horrified by brutal explicit violence. Real violence is horrifying and not at all desirable. I understand it's fake, but I don't want the violence to be that real.

The "why play an M rated game if you don't like blood/gore" argument really does not work either. Gore and blood are superficial aspects to a game. They add nothing to the actual way the game plays, which is why I play to begin with. I loved Doom and Hexen and yet I didn't prefer the gore. I liked them despite the gore, and not because of it. I also played and enjoyed Eternal Darkness. Again it wasn't because of the gore that I loved the game but despite it.

Again I have nothing against people wanting it, but I don't want to have to see it. It's quite frankly disturbing to me that some people seem to gauge personal worth based on whether or not you want to see graphic violence.

He said that their not shooting for a rating. But he said he'd be surprised if it didn't get a M rating, because that's the kind of content their putting in the game.

If you really feel like this topic is spam, don't post on it, if there are a bunch already then the topic is old news and will sink out of sight fast, if it stays up it means people are discussing it. constantly posting on every thread pointing out that its spam in spamming in it self.



so what, there are thousands of users and they all don't get a chance to even discuss on these topics when they first come out. almost every single topic that is on the front page has just as many threads just like it. so this thread isn't significant in that way.

I see no problem with gore as long as it's not over-the-top ridiculous... but it definitely adds realism to the game and that's what they are going for - total immersion in the game. As long as it's already gonna be M rated, I say throw some more boobers in there! Everyone loves that

I think making gore an option is a great idea. Why not? Everybody wins.

And that's why search exists.
Still, there is really a number of those threads (and one of them being on first few pages) so this one is actually not that needed.

As for gore i'm not that worried, if i was Todd Howard and didn't want gore in the game in the name of bad publicity, i'd just make a few people in the team get together and create gore. and do it well, then release it as a free official mod or a not-free DLC. i'd buy it.

I am just against users telling other people that their topic is already been done and they should not get to talk about it. its almost a put down when you just post "search function". unless a moderator thinks the topic is too spammy the topic should be free to continue for discussion for people who haven't gotten a chance to discuss it yet. besides, the search function is horrible, I never get any results that match what I actually searched... ever.

EDIT: also, there are just as many of every other topic that is on the 1st page as there is duplicates of this one. this happens when no new info comes out for a while.

And whats wrong with reviving an older thread? posting in an existing thread? Its like every person feels the need to make a thread or something, like you get real life Karma from it. I'll continue to post Search function, until people actually start using it. Perhaps we need a search function tutorial? Its not spam either, its a legitimate suggestion.

EDIT: even if some one revived an old topic people would be saying, the topic already existed.
well at the very least find a nicer way to say it because it comes off as a personal attack.

Personally, my feeling on the issue is.... if the level of blood in Skyrim is similar to in Oblivion, then we won't need a toggle to turn it off, it really wasn't anything bad. (Well, some of the zombies maybe )

But a toggle to add more? Bah.

...and wasn't Oblivion re-rated M because someone got up in arms about people being able to mod/find nudie textures in the game?

The Elder Scrolls series is undeniably combat-centric. Personal combat, by nature, is extremely brutal and most definitely terrifying. As it should be. I don't know this from personal experience, mind, but it's not a huge leap in logic. I would love to experience the simulated horror of *realistic* combat, from the comfort of my armchair. Do I want to sword fight in real life? Hell no. But in a video game? Hell yes!

Bring on the gore, I say. And make it as brutally realistic as possible. The decision to 'fight' may become a lot more interesting.
