    Overly sexualized? Oh man lets keep this pointless discussion out of ESO. It is fine as it is and I am always laughing when females are telling some pervert jokes (and in ESO it's mostly females lol).

    There is many adult themes such as the horrid act that created vampires(lamae bal being sexually violated but then using her dark gift of vamparism against her wrong doer, instead of shriveling up and being weak and needing rescuing she decides to turn vampirism against molag bal)

    naryu uses her sexuality to her advantage to gain intel (sleeps with people to gain intel, see her journal, but then kills said intel giver after he has no use). And its not like anyones going to shame naryu for not being "pure" and in fact she finds using people with intel as fun, even the sleeping part.

    Darien being a stud (look at one of his quests in riven for example) where he manages to sleep with the enemy

    and the elder scrolls universe isn't afraid of homosexuality as evident to many gay couples in quests and trans people like orcs in dresses freely can choose what to wear. I think its right that elder scrolls is separate from reality and things that are normally controversial irl are normal things in the TES universe.

    Lets see, dunmer culture is pretty promiscuous by real world standards and almalexia even has a "3 way fun time" with vivec and sotha sil, and vivec uses molag bal for secrets of CHIM and even uses molag bals "manhood" as a spear. So is elder scrolls not afraid to show off sexuality? definitely not

    ESO has a Mature 17+ rating. Mature adults appreciate sexual humor in the game. It contributes to creating a more realistic world. ESO strikes a very good balance by including plenty of mature content while keeping it down to a fairly small proportion of the total. Total sexual content is probably 2% or less of the total dialogue/text in the game.

    Poll is biased. However, I will answer.

    I do not feel anything wrong with the content. On the contrary, I feel surprised to see such thing. Game has a rating, which is Mature 17+. Now, do not tell me you have not seen a dream like the Pact soldier talking in his sleep about Naryu.

    What do you mean about the options the player is given? Can you elaborate? Any examples? This is an interesting thought.

    Look at the list the OP has, or even the examples others in this thread post. Now pick out ones that that Player character did.... none of them.

    Some of the examples maybe directed at the player but you don’t actually have an equally suggestive reply if I remember correctly.

    I guess that is what we get for being the hero.

    You didn't believe me? :D


    Not of the comment, of the "incident" itself.

    Queen Ayrenn is a serious hotty - even my thick-as-brick Nord thinks so.

    eso is not only almost non-fantasy it's also too realistic.
    content is overly modernized and way too far away from morrowind SP as well as being far too politically correct.

    Well for what it's worth, the OP gives about 15-ish examples of where the game's content might be considered as some to be inappropriate. I don't think they are, but others might disagree with me.

    However, I would tell those people to balance those 15 examples against the infinity bajinity other interactions ingame that aren't inappropriate, and then tell them that a pinch of salt in an entire freshwater lake doesn't make the lake salty.

    I would also tell the people who think that the OP's examples are inappropriate to never turn on zone chat, ever.

    The worst dialogue is the 'tinderfort' discussion. The female voice is overtly 'sultry'; and the male voice is overly effeminate. The entire conversion is just annoying.

    The female banker in Sentinel is way too perfect and continually makes reference to my heavy purse. Too much, I end up leaving all my deposits with Tordaman. He does indicate a preference for them.

    Then there are the blatantly sexist and racist loading screens. You all know them well enough by now.
    All the white characters are beautiful; all the thieves have dark skin; all the ugly people are animals.

    The Lusty Argonian Maid is from TESIII, as is the Naked Nord.
    There were a couple of things from Crassius Curio and Sheogorath that I haven't seen lying around.

    If we're going to discuss if this Game is too Lusty, let's talk about the rest of the 7 deadly sins...

    The countless hours we spend playing, that covers Sloth and Gluttony, Every time I see someone Doing, Wearing or Riding something cool... Well, I wanna Do, Wear and Ride that Too!! That's Envy and Greed... You ever see someone chase a chest, node or one of those Dolmen Anchor locks?

    Is this game too prideful? Ever met a hardcore Vet?
    Is this game too Violent (wrath)!? Oh, yeah...

    If we're not discussing all of these, why discuss any of them!?!

    Let's try not to forget this is all just a Fantasy...

    I think it's a bit too prudish, though that may be too strong of a word to describe it.

    Honestly, for a game with such a high rating, I think it could include more.

    I chose this option not because I'm unhappy with the amount of sexual content in the game, I just think it's quite fun to stumble across these things and wouldn't mind if there were a few more. Especially with the background characters.

    My favourite one is in the Inn in... Davon's Watch maybe? Where one of the rooms has a guy tied to a post and a dark elf woman who tied him there, and if you try to help him he gets annoyed. :-D.
