Language is just words

In Oblivion there wasn't anything even close to that. There's no way that Cyrodill has no criminal organizations outside of the thieve's guild and dark brotherhood. I just don't buy that.

You are wrong.

Just off the top of my head. There are also several people throughout Cyrodiil that have skooma packed away in their basemants.

And video game nudity is just pixels...

All of which supports, not disputes, the quote which you insist is wrong. :blink: The poster was claiming there's no way the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood were the only criminal activity, and that there was Skooma trafficking.

I Hate Swearing and i Hate Decapitating with Blood Spewing everywhere, so why have these to make the Game More Popular.

Look at Crysis, theres not that much Blood and No Gore, but they do say Allot of F.U here and there in witch it sets me Off.

Half Life 2 + Eps. Yea theres the Blood Splatter, but theres No Swearing at all and No Decapitating aswell, now i would go for Skyrim to be like that anyday.

Blood for the Blood God, it would be stupid not to have it.


As for swearing? I can't recall a single instance of real world curse words in previous TES games (please enlighten me ).

And video game nudity is just pixels...

I like gore and swearing because they are something natural and it's stupid to not include them in a game that wants to be believable.
Gore/nudity/swearing/violence ftw!
Still, they are not the reason why I play Skyrim.
They are just cream on the cake.
Anti-gore/nudity/swearing/violence people are not living in right world, but in an imaginary land if you ask me and are kinda... sissies. >.>

Also, your poll svcks.

I don't understand why nudity is such a taboo in video games right now. Usually when it does exist it's just blatantly explicit and has no actual point other than shock value (which I personally think is just stupid and immature), or there isn't any at all. It seems like no devs feel comfortable putting nudity in their games unless they're just going for shock value. I just don't understand why no one can seem to use it in an appropriate fashion in their game that isn't just immature.

Swearing's great. I love swearing. Angry people swear all the time in rl, it's realistic.

It's just that I'd rather hear "N'wah!" than "Bastard!" any day.

I hate to break it to you, but it's a game and not real life. I don't like seeing gore. I think it's offensive and gruesome. It's only one step below graphic torture to me. I hate it. That doesn't make me a "sissy" it simply means I disagree with you. If you want to see gore so be it, but if you want to say that everyone should either have to see it or not play the game, you need to learn to be less egocentric to be frank. (And yes the poll is too biased.)

True.
Swearing is one of the ways to let that negative energy out of you.
Still, words like bastard, crap, damn, ass and similar should be in, but F-word and S-word should be replaced with their fantasy alternatives.

Nudity is such a taboo because of the theocratic movement in the USA (Think of the children!!!). I was shocked to learn that in some European countries there are no laws at all barring children from media with nudity. People that want puritanical laws don't want you to know that though... it goes against the fabricated reality they've built for themselves where nudity turns people into crazed immoral monsters with no self control.

I need to stop before I get too political.

I for one value freedom, and that means I value freedom for people that aren't like me as well as freedom for things I personally hate. I may hate gore but I will defend the right for companies to make gory games or movies as much as anything I like. Freedom is too precious to throw away.

I am all for blood and violence but cursing just ruins the whole immersive experience. That is one reason I never could play Red Dead......you really expect me to believe they used the F word way back then........it just really ruins the game if it does not belong.

A smattering of blood is ok along with the odd curse here and there, Skyrim is not a 'Medieval Battlefield Simulation'. I'm buying this game for the quality of the storyline, quests, graphics and animation. not quantity of blood and body parts.
