CarlCorey Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 The word 'bastard' is actually used quite a lot, especially by bandits.That's technically just a statement about someone's parentage and not a curse. A curse is a request for the recipient's future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robanybody2000 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 The thing is i would rather be called a bastard by a 14 year old than to have him stab me in the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgun188 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 they dont even say ass right...they say arses :wallbash:That's the way the Irish and the Scottish say it. Arse fits better in their accents IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arse fits better in their accents IMO.Not just the Celtic fringe -- it's Old English & older in origin; "ass" is an American neologism, I think, perhaps seen as more 'polite'. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netromon Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) I want more cursing. With all the killing and thievery going on we sure as hell would hear a lot more than a "damn" every now and then. Fact is I don't consider damn or bastard a curse. From the looks of it there are an awful lot of illegitimate souls running around Skyrim. A lot of them may indeed be bastards.

RedRavyn Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 What really surprised me, and I didn't actually think I heard it right the first time, was that once in awhile an opponent will say "G-ddamn" (leaving out the "o", since the dictionary, here even censors words as innocuous as "b--ch" while letting through much "worse" profanity). Now, I'm not a Christian, but I don't buy that "god" in this little word is used generically, considering its etymology, and I respect the rights of Christian players of Skyrim to not have what they would consider blasphemy shoved in their faces. I thought that was terribly inappropriate of the developers. In general, the profanity doesn't bother me. Hey, I spent six years in the military, so I've probably just about heard it all. You expect talk like this from "tough" people, or at least people who are trying to act tough, so it really does fit into the style and setting of the game. However, I wonder how appropriate any profanity at all is in Elder Scrolls games, especially seeing as how Bethesda seems to be more and more moving the franchise toward younger players.

Omeletter Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The worst "swearing" I've ever hear was from faendal when he gets hurt. He just screams "SON OF A" and then it just cuts off. I also heard a couple of damns, but I do not consider it swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
