This is coming from the viewpoint of someone who was a fan of Mass Effect 1. I mean, I liked that game because it was epic and retro and was funny and yet it had little swearing. Most games nowadays swear waaay too much. Gears could get away with it at some points but mostly it was stupid. The Call of Duties are also going down this path. In fact, the only 15-rated games (M in America) I haven't seen doing this now are the Halo games but even they over use the B words slightly.

And also, the use of language in ME2 was rediculous. I mean, the only two characters who got away with it were Joker and Jack. And none of it came out right to be honest. I was expecting Miranda at the start to say a more appropiate "abloodyhero!" which would suit her accent more. But her saying it slowly didn't really work. It's the same with the Physics obsessed Marines outside the Citadel.

Zaeed's language just seemed stupid. I mean, he was British. Most of the diolouge he was given was written as though an American was meant to say it. I mean, you don't hear very many British people saying "sonofa****" and this is coming from someone who was born and lives in Britain.

I NEVER said swearing was paticulary bad. It's just in ME2 in was incredibly out of place and occasionally overused.

There's not enough of it to feel realistic...



Sorry, might be because I'm part time in a goddamn kitchen.

I agree that some of the swearing seemed pretty out of place and incongruent with the context. I am not at all offended by swearing though, hearing the f word repeatedly does not bother me at all.



But yea, they could have gone without it in some scenes.

It's all in the interest of making ME more, ahem, XTREME!

I really didn't mind the swearing to much. I thought they used swearing fairly well. I agree with you on Zaeed however, though it is the future so perhaps British cursing norms will have changed by then.

Not at all. In fact, in relation to the total amount of dialog in the game there really isn't much in it. Plus, the situation and setting lends itself to "bad" language.

Have you played Real Life? It has a LOT more swearing. I can't even remember anyone swearing in Mass Effect 2 it was so insignificant.

LOL'D XD

What is all this about there being MORE swearing in real life? I would hear about at least one swear word a fortnight if I didn't use electrical appliances.

What's with the oversensititvity to profanity? Have you ever been around soldiers? The conversation isn't usually very kid friendly. Go spend a day hanging out with some blue collar dudes and then tell me ME2 has too much profanity.

I think it's reflective of the company you keep, and as such was reflective of the company of ME2 versus ME1.  More politicians, higher society people in the first game.  More middle-to-lower class people and criminals in the second game.

then its simple. You don't want to hear swearing? turn off your internet.

You don't want to play a fun TPSRPG with a bit of edgy language? Don't play it, and don't whine and ruin it for others who can handle it

Only person that swears a lot is Jack and it fits her persona quite a bit.



Bioware didn't go overboard and had everybody swearing like crazy just because now they can, So i don't really see any problem with this.

There was a lot of swearing? i didn't think there was a lot, maybe if you ****** of jack and keep talking to her when she says **** off, that might make it full of swears
