The only stuff that is really 'mature' is the disturbing content of some quests. War, genocide, plagues, cannibalism, torture. So much of it is only in words though, left for you to imagine, because the game is very impotent when it comes to showing those things. A pile of bodies in game looks more silly than upsetting because of the lack of gore.

All of those things will get you the rating, though.
(looking at the ESRB page, it lists "Blood and Gore, Sexual Themes, Use of Alcohol, Violence" as the content descriptors.)
So yeah - slavery, torture, people getting their eyes cut out, human sacrifice, etc.
(re: "just words"... honestly, I've read some really really disturbing stuff. Wasn't even particularly graphic, but the events presented & how they were presented..... /shiver You don't need to throw explicit blood/guts/boobs all over the place for something to be "mature".)
Meh, I don't see the need for that. Mature doesn't necessarily has to mean "explicit sex and violence".
But just for poops n' giggles anyway, how would you as the player react to a bit more of a darker, red light district Elder Scrolls? Would it enhance your experience in the game world, or would you just discard that armor and dance like a dark elf in front of people trying to use the Banker.
Actually someone was complaining the the blade of woe was too graphic when I first started the game so I'm not sure how much mileage we'd get out of bloodier combat.

They should make it MA not sure if ya hve that in the states tho. The first baldurs gate game in the late 90's was pretty dark. Not sure if they would want to reproduce some of the themes it had. Though it could be a reference point.
Do you blame him for all your life issues, is this like "thanks Obama" but for ESO.
You find that a crafting style doesn't look nice, "thanks Wrobel".
The new music doesn't fit the zone, "thanks Wrobel".
In the USA anything that depicts sexuality usually automatically started at the highest ratings, while games that are pure carnage are given substantial leeway before reaching the same mark.This game is PG rated, 12 rated at best. No swearing, very little blood, no nudity (although i have no need for that I'm sure there's some guilds that roleplay that do) and apart from a few story lines there's nothing too graphic.
I'd love them to kick it up a notch or 3

Thanks a lot, Bethesda.

Fair enough, though I think you can agree hearing about someone being butchered and seeing it are still two very different things. Especially fictional people you never interact with.
Though upon digging around that doesn't seem to be the reason. "Blood, swearing, and alcohol" all seem to get cited as reasons for being 'M' but it occurred to me "all that is in Warcraft and it's T". So I looked it up...
So the difference is 'Sexual Themes' as opposed to 'Suggestive Themes'. I actually can't wrap my head around how fine a hair that is to split. Especially because Warcraft has things like a raid on a harem where you fight off concubines and TWO whole races of sexual demons. Wat.

ESO has a M rating? Didn't know this. Figured it would be rated T. Where are all the M content? lol.
