![]() But I understand there are only a few mentions of it in the game, and nothing very descriptive, certainly nothing worse than, say, a news report on a police seizure of drugs. My only concern is very occasional references to an in-game drug called skooma. Very little sexual content, most of it is limited to vague innuendos, ones where adults will catch themselves wondering, "wait, are they saying what I think they're saying?". To be honest, I'd much rather my child play with "lightning magic" rather than something as realistic as automatic rifles that the current bestselling game for young teens features. Of course if your child would rather (as mine does) just get into the combat, there's a lot of that too, but it's mostly fantasy violence - most of the players are using fire and lightning, or arrows, to fight, so nothing seems overly brutal or vicious. I love that this game has so much to offer in terms of stories and content if one has the patience to read through the content and in-game books (yes, there are in-game books!). I'm not going to mark it as having "too much sex", as I don't personally object to the themes covered, but some people may do, especially where child players are concerned. Plus, ESO has quite expensive (real money via Crowns) gambling crates, which are not an ideal thing for children to be around, either. Leaving the latter aside, though, even normally nice adults can sometimes lose their tempers in games and they are even more likely to think it's OK to do so, openly, in what is supposed to be an adult-only environment.Ĭan be disturbing enough as an adult, playing games like this, let alone as a child.įor these reasons, I wouldn't knowingly let my children play any online multiplayer game, unsupervised, until the age of 16. Some of which may lead to even worse real life issues, if the child in question isn't extremely careful regarding both stranger danger and their online privacy (as most children simply aren't). Or, perhaps, some have other undisclosed reasons for promoting it to children?Įven leaving aside the created ingame content, online multiplayer games are a risk to let your children play unsupervised, anyway.Īs there can quite often be some very unsavoury things said in chat, some of which are not hidden by the profanity filter.Īlso, quite often, sexual and/or anger-related interactions can take place, that no child should be expected to endure. Whereas, clearly, most of the adults here either haven't played it, or have barely played it, so don't really know at all. I think the fact that the children rating it, here, have given it a higher average age rating than the adults have (until me, anyway!) says it all.Īs they have played the game, for more than an hour, or so and therefore, actually know what they are talking about. There is a lot of violence (obviously), but also more hidden adult themes. This game is quite good (if very buggy) as a whole, but as an avid player of it myself, I know it has an 18+ rating for a reason. ![]()
