Blood and Gore or no Blood and Gore?

Arthur_Spoonfondle

This time a simple, unbiased poll.

Do you want the, toggle-able, option of showing blood and gore?

SoulScream

Yes.

Yes, always! Every game!

RatsnevE

No.

No focus on blood and gore--just like it currently is. Keep it out of fantasy. If you like it go watch the news--except they will edit it out every chance they get.

Tannakaobi

Yes.

Yes, when I finish someone with my Killers Blade I want to see their intestines spill out.

UrQuan

No.

I voted no, but the only reason I voted that way is because adding blood and gore would negatively impact game performance. If it didn't, then I don't see why having it as an on/off option would be a problem.

Surinen

Yes.

make the guts of the lesser races fly. make them choke on their collar bones and twitch like a fish when you put a knife in their brains!

daneyulebub17_ESO

No.

No, I prefer it as is. While I'm generally ok with anything as long as it's optional, I don't feel the need to waste resources on it, nor do I want the game to develop a tone that values that kind of thing or really attract people with the mindset that find it necessary.

Flynch

Yes.

Skyrim gore is fine - Fallout gore, not so much.

Castiel_Boomer

No.

I voted no, but really i don't care either way. More worried about game performance.

inf.toniceb17_ESO

Yes.

One of my friends actually don't play the game because "all enemies die the same way" and i gotta agree: we need moar blood, guts and flying bodyparts.

demonlkojipub19_ESO

Yes.

bring on the tes decapitations and other brutal finishers!

Arthur_Spoonfondle

No.

My own view is that the game is better-off without blood and gore. I had all kill-cams, melee and ranged, turned off in Skyrim and don't think blood and gore would add anything to the game.

P.S. this poll is a response to the earlier, biased poll on the same subject: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/116384/blood-and-gore-optional#latest

degolocsta_ESO

Yes.

Gore please, the polls all show we want it, give it to us please. ESRB has already rated the game M, so lets make it worth it, plus the other elder scrolls had it. Give. A.S.A.P.

Nox_Aeterna

Yes.

Could be an option , but i think this is more of a ... technical limitation than a choice the devs made.

emeraldbay

How about just blood, and not too much gore? I don't mind seeing bloody bodies, but I don't fancy seeing my entrails cut out.

Jinazai

Yes.

The Fallout gore always put me off, not that it was too gory but it rarely made any sense at all.

Jennifur_Vultee

Yes.

Yes I'd love to see Al Gore in the game giving a lecture on Global Warming. And maybe a bit more blood too...at least blood pools under bodies.

ArRashid

Yes.

PLEASE make ESO 18+.
Witcher was and it was the coolest game I've ever played. All thanks to sex, blood, gore and profanity. There are TONS of MMOs designed for children (Wizard101, Runescape, Minecraft..) but I seriously haven't played an entertaining game that wouldn't have adult content.

I think ZOS' designers would want that too, because right now the content is VERY limited and they HAVE TO make it repetetive (and boring) just to fit lower age rating.. well, but it's kind of too late for that. That decision should have been made at the start. Now they have to work with dead world with no children because NPCs can't have sex, absurd personalities because NPCs can't curse even in the worst situations, etc..

Orchish

Yes.

Yes. As a toggle option so that those who dislike it or worry about performance may leave it off. Those of us who want our axes dripping with the enemies blood may enable it.

Prokonto

Yes.

that was only if u took "bloody mess" perk, then all u even punch by bare fist blowed up with absurdal amount of blood (red, green or whatever:P) & guts. other case it was quite fine

smeeprocketnub19_ESO

Yes.

more gore, always more. Brains spilling out, disembowelment, limbs being hacked off. I love it!

To the person who said people who like it have a "certain mindset": I work very hard to try to be a decent human being and am exceedingly non-violent. Just because I want to see imaginary violence doesn't make me immoral. It is a game, most people are capable of separating game violence from real violence. When they can not it is not because of the game, it is because they have problems that limit their ability to separate fantasy from reality.

Sighlynce

Yes.

Skyrim gore is good . Ummm , I kinda looked forward to building up the two -handed skill line because once I hit devastating blow, I could count on a head rolling .... Too much ? Or just awesome ! Definitely need some gore !

Skulclutter

No.

Considering it'd add nothing to gameplay except cause lag, I voted no.

sirston

No.

meh like some blood but gore is not needed maybe a toggle switch on and off for the effects of it would be more beneficial..

Xeres14

Yes.

I votes yes, BUT it needs to be toggled on. By default it should be off.

RuneThor

Yes.

Best way would be of course finish move like in darksiders. When an enemys health get's low enough press E to preform a finisher. Add a few different ones per enemy/weapon type and that's it. That would be awesome! Would make this game much better.
Sorry to break it to some but when you hit someone with a sword blood comes out not butterflies and flowers!

Deadpool proves games and movies are not just for children anymore! Make it happen zenimax!!!

Zorrashi

Yes.

Sure. I don't have a particular strong desire for it, but I can see the appeal.
It should be off by default though.

Mojmir

horkers and blackjack

Lysette

Pretty bad way to ask the question, if you have both alternatives in the question combined with an "or", what does "yes" or "no" even mean?

Farorin

Yes.

This question was asked wierdly. Yes I want more blood, No I don't want blood to be a toggle.

Spottswoode

Yes.

Bloody mess perk, please.
