peteed1985 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The game was rated MA15+ for the violence and drinking and brothels in game yet I haven't been able to find a single brothel in my travels, where are they?
kaelling Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) In which country is it rated MA15? Don't have a clue about the brothels though but will keep checking in here for answers:) My char need a good piece of..:) Edited November 20, 2011 by kaelling
kamatsudash Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 In which country is it rated MA15? Don't have a clue about the brothels though but will keep checking in here for answers:) My char need a good piece of..:) Well, it was rated MA15+ in Australia for one. The Australian rating is "MA15+ Strong themes and violence". I note it has ESRB rating 17+ "Mature" and PEGI 18+ rating - likely it would be rated 18+ in Australia.. oh wait, Australia's highest rating is MA15+ or banned. (and I'd much prefer it be rated MA15+ than banned thank you very much.. and likely having Brothels in the game by default = banned in Australia). As for finding any Brothel's, I haven't found any... and I somehow doubt that there are any in vanilla. No doubt there will be player made mods allowing/doing this at some point (maybe, maybe not.. who knows).
Lachdonin Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Does it actually say 'Brothels' on the package? Becuase i know mine says "Sexual themes", which can be encountered from time to time, but i have yet to find something approaching a brothel. Hell, the games not even as risque as that stip club in Morrowind.
AbleGnome Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 "Sexual themes" is PC for same-sex marriage. I haven't found any brothels, either. Not that I'm actively looking .........
WorldShaperDragon Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 From the deluge of articles on the day that the rating was announced, I recall they said the ESRB report said that one of the ingame texts said something regarding it
Handofbane Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 There are definitely sexual themes outside of the whole marriage-to-a-mannequin thing, at least three ingame books, two of which are from previous games. You can thank The Lusty Argonian Maid (v1 and v2), and The Real Barenziah, Part II (censored by the Temple for the really juicy part). Beyond that, I have yet to encounter anything resembling a brothel or even a street level prostitute.
Vagrant0 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 My guess is that either it's bad translation between the two languages, or some rating group who only took a brief look at the game, misinterpreted some of the comments which are made from some of the inn workers, and decided to rate on the side of caution.
bobfish09 Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 There isn't a brothel, but there are one or two... dubious... quests / activities that may have sparked the reference in the ratings.
