Aislinn Report post Posted June 28, 2005 Well look at the whole sentence. The whole point is to show strong emotion about the event..."I hope that bastard will burn in hell for burning my house". What exactly would YOU say about somebody who burned YOUR house down? (Even though she does say after that she forgives him, I doubt anybody really would...)

LabRat Report post Posted June 28, 2005 Hozkinz do you have 256 GB of RAM in your system and 192 Pentium 4 processors? if not you maybe ought to consider disabling some of the rubbish you have in your taskbar..

Soldus Report post Posted June 28, 2005 You can say bastard as often as you want. It has to be in private tho. Other players have rights also, and yours end where you hurt theirs. Your best bet would be PMing yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arnieman Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Question: Is this supposed to be a family-friendly game, or are these words going to be acceptable use? I think that's what this boils down too. Personally, I could care less; let's have the most foul-mouthed NPC ever seen in any of these games if that's what gets written. However, were I a parent (thank God I'm not, my kids'd be screwed up for life :lol: ), I don't think I'd want my kids using bastard, or the pice comment from the Storage NPCs, or even what "happens" according to the mayor of Portland. IMO, we either define these words as fair game, or oust them from NPC scripts. Or, one more option, let the filter work on the NPC dialog too, so that the storage NPCs can yell at pieces of smeg (yes, I typed that out, it's not filtered ).

Roja Report post Posted June 30, 2005 bastard really isn't that bad of a word in English. It's ok to say it in game, but if you are directing it at someone purposefullly being insulting and harassing that person, then it is against the rules-as it falls into the "no harassment" rule. So, in this case, it is not the word that is the problem, it is how and when you use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted July 1, 2005 The game is NOT supposed to be familly friendly. I mean, I don't think kids under 13 should play it, but I don't mind if they do. It's their parents responsbility to screen them from [pseudo] bad words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
