Let's Talk About M-Rated Content, Bruh.

ZOS, can we please have more M-rated content in this game? Please? I'm not saying you have to go full GTA or Duke Nukem, but this is an Elder Scrolls game at the end of the day.

There are bandits and skirmishers. There are assassins and pirates. There are people who pray to Sithis and summon Daedra, and also stab you up in your sleep for coin. You know? So why is there no profanity??? Why is there no nudity, or more revealing attire? You walk into a town, and you should see drunk NPC's stumbling about and getting cussed at by guards. You walk into an inn, and you should see prostitutes trying to offer you their services. You should overhear mercenaries talking about their latest raids, and gruesome battles of glory. You know? Make it really feel like we are in this world from this age in time. I'm not saying that you have to walk into an inn and see elf or whatever shaking their uncovered lady-bits on a table. But still. C'mon now.

As for battles, there should be way more gore. Nothing is pretty about conflict and violence. Nothing. Nothing is pretty. And while I appreciate the little things you do, like having people vomit up acid and fall into their own bubbling acids when killed by poison. Or the actions done by the blade of woe, when you poke someone in the tummy and then the eye. I feel there should be definitely more graphic depictions of violence. This is a M-rated game. You get with an arrow, you shouldn't just fall over dead. Lol WTF? You get hit with an arrow, your character should drop to their knees and then topple over. You hit someone with an uppercut of a battle-axe or greatsword and blood should fly. I mean a spurt or spray. You LITERALLY just uppercutted flesh with a razor-sharp weapon the size of half their body. Sometimes as big as their body. And you mean to tell me that no blood goes flying? Lmao. Or if you hit metal, you should see sparks go flying off. You catch someone or something with your talons as a DK, those talons should impale your target(s). Not just hold them in a prison. A burning talon CC should be just that that. A flaming talon impaling your target, and locking them in place. You know? Or if you whip someone with a Flame Lash, let embers falling off their skin. You're literally whipping someone with fire. Let smoke fly off upon impact. Let their be burn marks on your target. If werewolves can slash you up, and have you looking a blood-soaked mess — why can't other forms of violence be depicted? Werewolves out and about munching on dead corpses, and vampires sucking torrents of blood out of people like a Mortal Kombat fatality. WTF ZOS? Let people be immersed in combat.

This is a M-rated game. Let us feel immersed in M-rated content. I'm not saying that you have to go overboard, but let us truly feel like we are submerged in this cruel and harsh world. I mean this is a world where Dunmer enslave Argonians, and Altmer treat other races like scum due to their right to do so (High Elf power!). Let use actually be immersed.

    You mean Darien hooking up with the captain in Rivenspire wasn't good enough for you?

    Lol, I remember the first time I saw that. It made my week and I loved Darien ever since, though up until that point I thought he was kind of a prick. I suppose technically nothing has changed there, but man... Good times good memories.



    Gotta be careful with particle effects like blood. It can REALLY slow you down when you need all the performance you computer can give you. (You know. Cause you're getting focused-fired.)

    You cannot predict what vulgar statements/conversations players will talk about in-game therefore the decision of ESO being M-Rated/18+ has to do with that (I think). Adding Gore, Profanity and more Violence simply because that rating is there seems questionable but doubt it's the direction ZOS want to take...

    However I do agree selected NPC dialog would be more believable if they was to use mild profanity occasionally.

    If you want more realism concerning fights then following your logic you can be hit by uppercut only once because after that you can't really continue to fight with your breast torn by an axe.

    As for the nudity content, there were several posts on the forum of this matter, but they were "tolerately" moderated (ninja-deleted).

    But bruh... The immersion and logic at hand. Like the example I made, if you get hit with a huge, razor-sharp, weapon — blood should go flying. You hit something with a Dizzying Swing nowadays, and the target just gets knocked up in the air and that's it. Lol WTF? Especially targets wearing nothing but leather or silk? Bruh, if you hit flesh/skin in an uppercut fashion with a large and sharp weapon there should definitely be blood. You use Puncture, and blood should spill out a bit. You just stabbed something in the gut with a sharp sword; tip first, in a thrusting motion (lol behave). And you're telling me there should be no blood effect...?

    Not at all, I'd love for blood effects to be added to attacks. When I drain blood from NPC's and my Orc has blood trickling down from his mouth for that split few seconds it looks cool.

    My reasoning is that I'm skeptical about animations and how it effects performance haha

    Still, we should be allowed to see our attacks having some visible effect on our targets. I mean yes, you see the cute little flames on our target (barely) if burning. Or we'll see the little pop-up animation if we knock something up or back. But like, I wanna see visible damage I'm dealing. If I'm inflicting a bleed, let me see my target dripping blood. Or if I'm using a blunt weapon, let me at least bust the target to the "white meat". ._.

    What do you mean more mature stuff? In the past Elder scrolls games you really did not have that much swearing and cursing in the sense of our world. They have insults like N'wah, Fetcher, Milk drinker, and S'wit but none of the words that you consider mature. What really constitutes as nudity? There are plenty of half naked npcs and players while also wearing skimpy clothes. The closest to the nudity that you probably want was in Morrowind from Khajiit females. When they were naked they did not have a bra but there was not any features there.

    There is plenty of sexual themes and innuendos through out the game. Start reading most of the books and listen to the dialogue. It is there. There is plenty of blood in the game and there several scenes of violence though out the game. Examples impale bodies, cannibalism, blood and blood gushing sounds, flesh laying around, sounds of pain, skeletons in torture devices, Npc being tortured, corpse piles, and severed creatures head. There is plenty of gore in the game it just not as excessive as you may want. The only elder scrolls game that had some form of dismemberment that players can do was in Skyrim and even then it was just cutting heads off. Blood still was not that excessive. The most blood I have seen from an Elder scrolls game in general is from this game. The killing scenes from the blade of woe and the vampire draining blood is lot more bloody then any other Elder scrolls game before. There is plenty of this in the game already and the excessive gore that you want from an Elder scrolls game has not really been in Elder games before. So you really cannot use that excuse to put more gore in the game to suit your tastes.

    Would be awesome to have some more brutality in this world. We have burned corpses all over IC, why not have a bit more blood and sucha else where? In AoC if I remember well you could even decapitate your enemies. Maybe you think its not a big deal, but believe me when you can chop off someones head with executioner or make his body explode with magic it makes the difference. (EDIT: you know we already have something like that in ESO, when you fight zombies and % on fire explosion kills zombies it sets them in flames and then turns into ashes, so it is possible to implement it in pvp).

    About ambient enviorment, its also very important. Its like looking on a photo of somebody that doesnt drop shadow. Its hard to say what is wrong, but you feel that something is not right. One big picture is created by small puzzles, if you miss some of them picture wont be complete.

    Whenever i walk by a Dunmer guard in an AD zone, i hear him mention the quest in the Alyeid museum and say, "Alyeid warlord my ass!" Thats swearing. The words are just few and far inbetween.

    As for more "rough" content, id rather the game remain...tasteful. like you said, definitely nothing of GTA level.

    Its kind of hard to imagine taking my female khajiit character and having her partake in a Nord "comfort worker" every now and then...though i cant deny i wouldnt be curious.

    I have noticed this game is all over the place in respect to its M rating. Various quest dialog and books you find certainly have "adult" overtones yet the accompanying visuals are lacking. No blood or even signs of injury when people and monsters are killed. Almost all armor and clothing is virtually suited to nuns and priests. I don't want to see G-strings and six inch high heels but some more skin would be nice. This request comes up constantly though and ZOS has steadfastly not responded to it.

    Low level dunmer and argonin armor shows off quite a bit of skin, as well as a few costumes. The new Minotaur style does as well.

    Be reasonable about this, our characters are fighting battles and wars, why would they do it with their bits getting a good draft?

    Didn't the "M" rating come after initial launch when the justice system was added, something about being able to kill an unarmed civilian whom wouldn't fight back annoyed some of the ratings people . It's why I think the base game as such is so tame , but now theres no excuse ZOS more gore and filt please

    Aerodynamics. As well as keeping our characters both cool and dry. As you know, sweat probably builds up in suits of hide and metal. Thus leading to things like bacteria and fungi, all due to moisture. Getting a good draft could tone down the chances of that significantly, while also assisting with overall mobility. :)
