But that would controdict TES lore
As far as I know khajiit are almoast as promiscuous as young elves, so that would be strange thing for him to say.

XD I did not know this of the Kajiit! Nor of elves.... Scarred for life yes?

1. Appearantly thats a matter of taste.

2. That is the reason why I don't make games :dry:
Although after Skyrim is out I'll play with Construction set (or whatever it'll be called), for a while.
Maybe I'll manage to create few M+ rated quests.
Still those were only few examples, and you mentioned only ones who can be described as cheap.
My idea was recreate how selfish and mean people can be when their survival is at stake (during wars and natural disasters)
Because it needs only a little push to see what people are beneath our "civilized" mask, and in most case it isn't pretty



This was mentioned in two in-game books- "The true Barenziah" and another one (I forgot its name) that describes inbreeding between races (it was in TES3 and it also said that there were no documented cases of beast race and men/mer inbreeding).
Anyway those books can be alot of fun. I hope In Skyrim thay have all of old books and also a lot of new ones.
Ok, I need to make new thread regarding books. :brokencomputer:

yea you can blame the victorian era socity for nudity being a hush hush thing and gore appearing everywhere.

Bingo. LeChance's corpse sealed the deal.

It had jack to do with someone making a nvde textures mod, because the ESRB isn't allowed to act on user created content. If they did, almost every game for the PC would be rated AO because we all know that there are enough sick-minded people with enough experience manipulating textures, meshes and animations to make porm mods.

Surprisingly, if the Wikipedia article is correct, this wasn't the case with that mod. This was some protest to Victorian-style ideals held by most people in America. According to Wikipedia, the modder said she was protesting "government/society/whatever forcing companies to 'protect our innocent population from seeing those evil dirty things 50% of them possess personally anyways.'"

Regardless, I lol'd at it.

Honestly I'm surprised Oblivion wasn't rated M to begin with...
I think a lot of the Dark Brotherhood quest probably pushed the boundary a lot..
I'll give a example:
The Dark Brotherhood quest "Following a Lead" has you go down into Anvil's lighthouse cellar,needless to say it's pretty creepy down there. Lots of dead animals,blood everywhere...and then. The severed head named "Mother's Head" with the blood surrounding the head...it was pretty creepy in my opinion.

That was excellent. Am I only one who remembers king Julian from Mdagascar2 when he talks to the "head"? I was like "I like that head"

Individuals are not cookie cutter instances of racial stereotypes. Just because there are Khajiit known for being promiscuous doesn't mean they all are so it would not contradict the lore.

Either way I hope the game has a M`aiq-like character. I don't know what Khajiit lifespans are but I don't think they are quite that long.

This.

I still have my T-rated CE Oblivion copy! It may not be overtly mature, but there are plenty of signs of mature content throughout Oblivion.

Skyrim will definitely be rated M as it will clearly be more brutal and rugged. Don't expect to see this game turn into Fallout or Gears of War though. I personally wouldn't be totally against that type of "maturity."

Oblivion IS overtly mature with the corpses in parts of the game.

Well, of course there are exceptions, but somehow I don't think M'aiq is one of it.
And exceptions usually are rare and proves so called stereotypes (because stereotypes are true in most cases)

Regarding lifespan- I don't think Khajiit lives longer than humans, argonians might, but khajiit should have at best same lifespan like ordinary human, if not shorter

Well they rate it M for a reason, they dont take into account immature advlts, they look out for the kids. The whole point of the ESRB doing what it does is to keep advlt content which is: (technically NOT advlt content, but is deemed "advlt Content" because of kids)

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sixual content and/or strong language.

What was oblivion rated for?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESRB_re-rating_of_The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion

This mostly but more precise:

What Bethesda had originally disclosed to us, as an example: In that section of the game, there is a hanging corpse. What they disclosed to us was a hanging corpse in the dark, pretty far away and without much detail. And yet, when you bring a torch up to the hanging corpse in the actual game, you can see that it's very mutilated with lots of blood and bones. That was a very different depiction, far more intense, far more extreme than what had been disclosed to us

Also it was rated M for:
Blood and gore
Language
sixual themes
Use of Alcohol
violence

So, i think Skyrim will act accordingly to this past hiccup, not limit what they can do, but lear from what they did in the past, and just go all out on this one. i can expect more grusome DB quests too! >:]

Stereotypes aren't true in most cases they are true often enough to be noticed.

No no no.......murder is fine but if theres a nipble out there CALL THE FREAKIN' FCC!!!!!!!!!!

Also,there is no way Skyrim will be AO...look at Duke Nukem Forever it's about 2000000x worse than Skyrim and it's M rated (Blood and gore,intense violence,mature humor,nudity,strong language,strong sixual content,use of drugs and alcohol) I'm expecting Skyrim to be rated M.

dittoed

yeah....it's so backwards...not that I want nudity as everywhere as gore is though. They both have their places and neither (and that may surprise some who've read my comments in various threads and places) should be ruled out completely.

:yes:

Could someone please explain ESRB ratings to me? The closest PEGI has is 16 and 18, and the only restrictions I've seen is no under age people can actually buy it.
