Did I hear Cassandra say BS to Varric in the developer's diary on story? Is DA2 like following the rule in North American non-cable TV, where swears are sometimes thrown in if it is used in a sentence instead of out in the open and not directly at somebody? I'd prefer HBO style profanities, but some indirect coarse language is good enough.

The term for "female dog" is "b***h"

So you prefer swear words being used ALL the time like in Deadwood?

When they're used that much they tend to lose their power and it becomes a bit hilarious.

You never knew this?

There was some in Origins. Alistair called Morrigan a b****.

[Jarek_Cousland]

I knew ME2 had "mature" language but even I was surprised by how much there was.





But then again 90% of it came from Jack.

I wouldn't mind there being a comic-relief style character (preferably one with an Irish or Scottish accent), who swears with every third word, but personally I just find this style hilarious, especially when they're mad and they proceed to basically hose down the world with the f-bomb.  There's a point at which it ceases to be offensive at all and just becomes silly incoherent spewings.

Our watchwords for profanity are occasional and impactful.

Profanity can be a great tool. It also makes for great meetings -- the one where the writers and editors sat down and drew up a list of what profanity was acceptable and what was unacceptable was probably the most hi-larious meeting I had all year long.

I want someone to get really pissed at Hawke and just cuss him off.

I just hope coarse language isn't used just for sake of being "dark" and "edgy." If they are going to use it, I hope it'd be for situations where characters are so emotionally affected (whether it's being surprised, depressed, etc), that they utter curse words.

I personally never find it offensive, but in a film/game setting when it's used too often it loses it's point, and thats the problem. If a character stubs their toe or something horrible happens to them and they go off on an f-bomb tirade it can be funny, or make you feel sympatheitc to their anger and frustration. But when its ALL the time...Then it's just obnoxious.

Only if I have the option to cuss back or back hand then for daring to speak to my character that way, lol

We've also seen the impactful part with Cassandra. When she calls Varric on his BS.

I prefer the Precision F Strike over a hurricane of curse words thrown around for the sake of 'justifying' an M-rating (Like Aria's one 'Don't **** with Aria' as opposed to Jack tossing them around left and right, though I found it understandable in her character). Besides, I find words less objectionable than other content like violence and sex.

And that is perfect.

If you rarely use profanity, you can make a great impact when you do. If you use it like a construction worker (which I am guilty of!), it doesn't mean anything when you really want it to.

[drahelvete]

I'd prefer some Blackadder style curses: "May God loathe you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an inconvenient moment".



... Or some good medieval swear words like "zounds".

Obviously not, since you'd never hear "bullsh*t" on American non-cable tv.

[slimgrin]

But profanity can sound inseparably modern by nature. To me, this is the real issue.

[SoleSong]

The english language is quite capable to hide tabu words in a way nobody understand... the list is long for every tabu word... the first word coming to mind is dick, a slang for detective.

Some from old norse.

Doodie? Poopie?

How about: " ******* *********** *********** ********* " ? .... guess not...

I hear this allot ME2 was clean. I think it was, cleaner than half the conversations I have anyway.

Exactly. I love it for example when someone who hasn't sworn the entire game (or tv show or movie or whatever) suddenly calls someone a "b*tch."  Then you know, "Woah, they're pissed!" Where if it's someone like Jack from ME2, where every other word out of her mouth is the F-word, it's like, "Oh well, who cares?"
