This is a good thing. That way Beth won't be held back and can put what they want to put in the game rather then be held back by a crappy T rating product.

I like how people think because it's rated 18 it means it's a mature game in a 'this is a serious game' kind of way.

todd said they were not aiming for any rating, as well as that was never their goal for TES games.

I agree with it in theory but that can't be realisiticly true. You wouldn't expect a Grand Theft Auto game to aim for a T rating now.

The rating itself doesn't indicate that, but Todd did say they wanted a darker tone. It's also pretty apparent from the gameplay footage that this is srs bsness

I'm looking forward to the more mature rating.
However it won't be long before six is raised...
Or Boobies...

Or even the dreaded underwear topics, heads up people.

I hope the Mods won't be put through as much of these posts as NV... especially the underwear topics.

As many mistake maturity with graphic and frequent smut.

I assume the game's forum has the same age rating as the game itself, to much focus on underwear show that you are not very advlt

Eh, I'm way younger then that, and I prefer themes. I don't really like guts, only in places where it made sense. Fallout 3 was defidently my limit on that, and that is why I didn't get the bloody mess Perk. Though I hope it is rated 18+ not because of nudity or extreme violence, but darker themes.

My problem with Fallout 3 gore was that it was overdone and unrealistic. You do not shoot the head of people with a 9mm handgun, on the other hand grenades and rockets was realistic and even to little, botlecap mines and fatman should leave a blody mess.

I'm happy that Skyrim has taken the step to limit this game 18. It's a very mature game for mature people

Here is the rating:

last 6 words of the rating priclessly true.

I hope it's not going to be dull, at least in terms of color choice. Too many games that seem to think "realism" means "drab colors" already, I don't want the Elder Scrolls to become like that too. Though I wouldn't mind more horror elements where appropriate, like in dungeons.

Developers who think that painting everything gray and brown is "realistic" need to get out more, or look out the window.

realism is never the goal of a tes game, it is fantasy, the most realistic tes game so far was OB and it was widely apreciated as generic. if you want realistic don't play fantasy rpg games. that being said, I don't think SK will be dull. they were talking about a variety of terrain types that had more than just snow.

I agree with it in theory but that can't be realisiticly true. You wouldn't expect a Grand Theft Auto game to aim for a T rating now.

That doesn't compare. the bgs devs are not specificly shooting for gore and advlt themes when they start planning to make these games, the devs of GTA are, thats what GTA is about: theft, murder, and blood money. TES is about fantasy and the lore of tamerial, sometimes it gets mature and bloody, but it is not because that was the goal set in their minds. neither are they attempting to water it down.

what todd said it think, was: we are just going to make the game and don't care what the rating will be. (paraphrasing, but he did make it clear that they were not diliberatly aiming for a mature title)
