OK. I'm 14, and I do own SOME M rated games (Oblivion, Assassin's Creed I, II, and Brotherhood, and soon-to-have Skyrim). I want to get New Vegas, to hold me over until Skyrim, and so I can have a good RPG to play.

My parent's aren't crazy about M games, I convinced them to let me get the Creed series just by explaining in all honesty, I see more blood and violence on NCIS (Crime/Cop show).

How should I convince my parents to let me get FNV? The prosttutes are what concern me the most, because I don't plan to play it with full blood, it seems over the top. The language is no problem, I've just about heard it all. Do you HAVE to interact with the prosttutes? If so, are the six scenes graphic? Or is it like Fable (I've watched my friend play). What kind of alcohol and drug use is there?

How violent/mature is this game compared to the Assassin's Creed series? (Blood, Violence, sixual themes, language, alcohol and drugs, etc.)



Just for the record...
1) No, I will not "forget" to tell my parents about getting it. I'm an honest kid.
2) I know they are being protective, which is good and all. But I think they believe that video games have too much of an influence on kids.
3) I know the over-the-top gore is part of the experience. But I'm just not a fan of all that blood.


Thanks for all the help in advance!! Unless your a [censored] to me....

The only six scene I remember is just a fade to black. You don't see anything.

No sounds or anything? That's good

How frequent are the prosttutes? Are they everywhere? Only in a certain place... Also, Can you TELL they are prosttutes, or do they look like normal until you talk to them? Are there mods to get rid of them?

You can't do anything with prosttutes. The scene I mentioned is part of a minor quest with one of the casinos.

There is some moaning, that's it, but you don't ever have to actually have six with anyone.
prosttutes are only in a few places, only one you'll have to visit to finish the game, you might not actually see any prosttutes, but hokers dancing in cages is another matter...

1.There's moaning.
2.Only in two (maybe 3? locations) and yeah, you can tell they're prosttutes usually because their NPC name is "prosttute" and they wear prosttute-y clothing.

But New Vegas does have body limbs falling off, heads exploding, bodies exploding all in a bloody mist that make parents shudder. I'd say it's a bit more gory than the AC series. Plus gambling, language, and alcohol/drug references... it would be pretty difficult to convince your parents to let you buy it.

First off I'd like to say I cannot believe this is a thread. Your father must be named Daniel. That being said, you can sleep with prosttutes by choice, or a six robot by choice. There are corpses everywhere, people being crucified, mutated animals? (may offend some for whatever reason). Murdering. And lots of blood. Including mutilation upon death.

What about with the tweaked gore mod? I plan to use that regardless if my parents are find with the full blood or not.



His name is Kevin -.-

It was a reference to the game..

Well you probably want to make sure your parents don't find out about the nvde mods out there. :whistling:

Ah, sorry about that



And I know that there's going to be a nvde mod for just about every game that's moddable. My dad was fully aware oblivion had nvde mods. But since I don't lie to them or anything, they know I won't get them (Which I won't)

But any sort of general advice for asking them (What to say and such)? I'd be asking my dad.

14 year old have no business with and M Rated Game.

Period.

I had to wait, so should you.

Children are ruining it for everyone else.

...Just my humble opinion...

Tell them that you will rub there feet for a total of 10 hours overthe course of a month:)

He's 14!! Not 5 for crying out loud. Am I te only one who thinks not getting this game would be a crime?

Just a question out of curiosity.
How could we be "ruining it for everyone else"?

No one gives a damn when someone of the proper age is playing M-Rated Games.

COD is much lauded for it's user base of children.

Just 2 examples. Nothing against you, but the media doesn't need anymore fuel then it already had against my pass time.

Just thought I'd let you know, the rating is a suggestion basically. If the parent gives permission then the kid can buy the game. You're Welcome

I've also played with more [censored]s who are about 20ish then kids. I only occasionally get a 11 year old yelling at everyone.

Its rated M for a reason. :shrug:

The game should not be available to anyone below the age restriction; or at least not without parental consent.

*** Also... there is this stuff to worry about, and I think its perhaps part of the reason kids should not play these games.

I'd say unless you parents are against extreme violence you can get them to buy it. The chance you will interact with a prosttute up through the first several hours are pretty low. To actually start some of the quests you have to do some serious searching.

i was 11 when conkers bad fur day came out and i played the [censored]in [censored] out of it! :foodndrink:

That too.

@WOMBAT AKA Batman; It begins again...

New Vegas is pretty mature, lots of blood, language, and references to male organs on your feet.

Edgar reminds me, you should go watch A Clockwork Orange with your parents.

You only get that reference to the male organ if you get the DLC Old World Blues.

Indeed. There's something for everyone.

That's what I thought, thats why I put the smiley face. :batman:

EDIT: Tell your parents this.

Oh mighty mother and father, it is I your lowly son who is approaching you today to ask for your assistance. I don't ask for much, but on this occasion I would like for you to purchase an M rated video game just for my amusemant. The game is what some call Fallout: New Vegas and it is acceptable for a boy of my age because of this this and this.
