cppcooper Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Maybe this thread can be renamed into the stupid discussions of people on a forum about parents who aren't on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaldragon141 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Personally I support the mod. I think it's great to be able to give people an option as to whether they want to see the blood or not. TES has always been about freedom to choose and if some skilled modders make a no gore mod then cool beans. I'd use it. No one else has to. Also as a response to whoever was complaining about this mod going against the developers intentions. What about all the AO+ mods? Isn't the whole point of mods to do something the developers didn't intend to do? Yay for freedom to use whatever mods we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allephus Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Right, but as it was put to a poll, it's rather made into a decision of whether or not it should become a mod. I mean, more power to whatever modder that wants to take the effort and remove the gore elements from everything in the game, but the M+ rating is already as AO as you can get these days. Making a mature game more mature isn't really hard. Taking that same mature game and redirecting it like the Pirates of the Caribbean pornography (the highest budget porno which was then made into a G movie after a lot of cutting in Japan), by removing whatever elements there are within the game that an over-scrupulous individual might feel is too...detrimental to the psyche of a teenager (a creature that is so dumb that it believes itself to know everything), is a project that would not stop at blood and gore. It's been said before, and it'll be said again: It's foolish to presume that by removing the blood, the game would automatically become clean, and the mind of the child would therefore be unscathed, unmarred, untainted, and saved. :wallbash: I suppose it's not up for debate when you put it to somebody's RIGHT to mod...the freedom to do so is unquestionable. But there hasn't really been a good point made other than "Because you are free to take this mod up and do so, because you're a nice person, you go-getter, there ol'buddy ol' pal." on behalf of "Yes". At least from my apparently biased point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewsDad Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think this is good idea... I mean i don't see why parents get so worried about it. It is just make believe. I am a Dad my self and well I wont shelter him like that,,, But for those parents that do this would help so some one do it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least from my apparently biased point of view. Oh man lol, I had no idea they would go as far as to make a porno G-Rated.. they really push the limits. I wonder if the kids noticed any of the odd acting. Maybe they were real actors though, and just had a hard time finding real jobs. "But there hasn't really been a good point made other than "Because you are free to take this mod up and do so, because you're a nice person, you go-getter, there ol'buddy ol' pal." on behalf of "Yes""You didn't read hard enough. Sure it is a pretty big waste of time unless you are a parent modding for your child, removing all the parts you think are unsuitable but if you are well then it is a good idea if you want your child to play the game. I think it is a perfectly legit reason to make the mod just so that younger players with weird parents can play. Maybe they are susceptible to becoming highly violent if exposed to these macabre scenes, but why exclude them from playing a great game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirazvan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 what`s wrong with blood,blood is not gore, when you see a werewolf tearing someone`s neck it`s not the blood that makes the impresion it`s the visual representation of chewing and the crunchy sound it makes, that should be changed if anything, the intensity of the scenes of violence not the actual blood which is natural and real, if you don`t acknowledge blood as you grow up, then you WILL feel sick and repulsed and scared by it every time you see it when you`re older and that just makes you useless and anoying in a critical situatiion. but on a constructive note mabye some retextures, making the blood in other colors :P like blue or mustardy :)) would be more child friendly, or just a transparency effect on it! as for nudity, besides the perv mods out there there realy isn`t any in skyrim :P! you know there are other things that kinda mess you up like quests asking you to do some pretty sick stuff, and i think blood in those situations actually helps not mess people up!

Stira has a good point, I find auditory to be far more important to my life than vision. At least in my learning experiences. Nothing to do with being tech support via phone. I use my hearing for lots of things, to figure out my surroundings mostly, I don't know about most people.. but to some degree I can always tell if there are objects near me and what direction they are in. Sound, wind, etc change depending on your surroundings and your ears can tell the difference if you train them to. It is too bad games don't use surroundings to affect sound.. rather they play sound depending on your surroundings. I guess they assume everybody plays with the music on.

Ohdude Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I voted yes,but,'the hell,man? I'm 16,my mom used to say gta was inappropriate before,now,I'm playing Left 4 Dead and all gorey games in front of her,she does nothing.Lmao,and I thought my mom was over-protective.I do not see what is wrong with the little bit of 2d blood that pops out when you hit somebody.To be honest I don't really like (actually hate) "over-protective" parents,you have to experience anything,and everything life has to offer,and,for example,you want to be a good person,how will you do that if you don't know what a "bad person" is? >_< In my opinion a little bit o' blood doesn't hurt,and the gore? It's 2d,come on.You don't see a damn if you don't look at the screen using Binoculars,or something. I'll actually make myself a mod that increases gore,I'm decapitating,not cutting bread.LOL.

Yup, that's the experience of being 16. Don't worry, a couple more years and you'll get to the fun part of being a teenager. It's surprising that Bethesda didn't make blood/decapitations toggle-able from the menu (password protected, of course). It would have been simple to do.
