The drugs, the over the top violence and swearing. It's going to be real hard for Bethesda to live up to that, being so funny.

I saw THIS in the news.

I really hope they don't tone down the drugs and violence.
This s*** pees me off. To not quote perfectly but roughly what was said somewhere in that article "Drug use in games is seen by parents as worse than mindless killing"....

You gotta be kidding right? So, I can KILL ( - the worst possible sin, right?), MULTIPLE times and be rewarded for it. Yet if there is one hint of sex or drugs in the game for beneficial means in the game it is outlawed.

Seriously? Sex is natural, nearly everyone does it at one point in their lives at least. And drugs? Well some people choose to abuse themselves with those, and IMO that is no where near comparing to killing someone. Would parents prefer their children A. Take drugs and have to go to rehab for a while. or B. Kill someone and be jailed for a looong time? Well, that question should be retorical because difference between video games and real life is quite clear.

So, why the hell are those two things so sensitive in games? When we can kill hundreds of people and the ratings boards just shrug that off instantly.

ed: change of P word :>
