can some one explain why dragon age, age rating is 18. I have just played Assassin's Creed 2 and it only had an age rating of 15 it was a lot more gorey there was bad language and a lot of sexual innuendos in the game. I haven't being play dragon age for long and my kid who is 11 has watched me play some of dragon age and really wants to play as yet i can't really see a reason why he can't

Assassin's Creed 2 may have innuendo.

Dragon Age's is just shy of sexual content. The Desire demons are also pretty "sexual".



Don't forget the bad language, the darkness of the setting, the relatively persistent gore, nudity... It deserves the rating. The Darkspawn and Archdemon also add some horror to the game.

The broodmother is pretty freaky too

[Invalidcode]

DA:O is not suitable for an 11 years old. You shouldn't even let the kid watch it imho. Stuff like regular combat isn't a big deal but stuff like on your way to broodmother is a big no no.

I see a lot of reasons why I wouldnt let my 11 yo play this game. I am sorry you dont.

[dooie vogel]

and on top of that you can make love to a nug



ah don`t be shy, you have all done it

[steelfire_dragon]

yeah tell that to the people who actually blamed the game after they went on a killing spree that they got the idea from playing GTA.



11 yr olds may not be retards, but can they make the right descision on right from wrong.....



anyway.....

Uh, yeah. Kids aren't stupid, they're cowardly. What was your first instinct when you got caught doing something wrong? That's right, to lie about it. "I got the idea from a video game." is the same as "I just came in here and the couch was on fire."

Unfortunately, stupid parents and sensationalist media actually take it as gospel, and these kids who do horrible things get to shift the blame on to this generation's scapegoat. You know, not too long ago people were blaming all the evils of the world on rock music.

In other words, you would give your 11 years old child DA:O to play? Do you have a 11 yo?

I tried that once and stuck to my guns so hard my mother almost started to believe me. Then she remembered who I was.

It depends on the 11 year old, y'know, but I'd err on the side of HELL NO. I know each generation is more technically adept than the last, but even as an 11 year old in the 21st century I think he would find playing this game a bit much to grasp. At the very least, he'd have to forget everything he knows about real math to learn RPG math, a proccess which is difficult to undo.... trust me on that one. While most 14 or 15 year olds would be fine with the game, I think it would be more work than fun for an 11 year old and more than a little inappropriate.

My siblings, myself, and a few friends of mine had been watching some pretty gruesome, raunchy, etc, stuff before we'd even hit eleven and I swear, the urge to go on random killing sprees is only an odd occurence. That and the average mini-gun unfortunately comes with quite a hefty price tag these days... go figure.

I'm trying to remember what the hell I did for fun when I was 11... I mean, at that point, SNES and the Genesis were hot sh*t, parents were up in arms about technicolor body fluids in Mortal Kombat and I think the most hardcore game I'd ever played was Final Fantasy II (US). I'd probably seen some naughty cartoons, but definitely no 3D combat simulators that let you sex people up while you're relaxing between battles, oi. Though what I would have given for one...

If I had children, I honestly wouldn't let them play DA:O. At least if they were just 11.

Kids are retards, honestly.

Nope, no kids. No real desire for them, either. If I did have a child though, what I gave them to play would be on a case by case basis. I don't see Dragon Age as being any worse than what I was playing at 11, and I certainly knew the difference between right and wrong. I've never even hit a person before, and yet I spent much of my childhood from the time I was 4 onward playing "violent video games." Except my parents, siblings, and friends played them with me, too. Mortal Kombat was a favourite of mine, as was the Resident Evil series and GoldenEye.

My mom felt virtual violence was far less jarring than what's regularly in movies now, or the news, or sporting events. Or, hell, the Old Testament. She didn't let me read that until I was 13. Have you seen what's in movies rated PG13 these days? Monsters, murderers, stalkers, sexual content. Everything on TV that isn't a reality series is a crime series with graphic violence, as well.

Point is, it's up to the individual parent to decide what is and is not good for their children. I'd never let a kid of mine below 14 play Grand Theft Auto or games of its ilk, but Dragon Age? Mass Effect? Sure. There's a lot of reading involved, problem-solving, and learning battle tactics.

Well, I wouldnt have given my kids this kind of game when they were 11. Not because they didnt know right from wrong, but because I find some ideas and scenes in game more than disturbing for that age. Broodmother for example. Not the scenes so much as the idea behind it. I know my kids would have had very bad nightmares from something like that.

I really wouldnt mind sex scenes (what some people would) since I had open discussions about the matter with my kids when they were very young, and the scenes in game are quite normal. Not even so much the violence in battles, blood and gore. But the idea of body possesions or demon babies - no.

My kids had very vivid imagination without enticing it with such ideas and I felt as a Mother that I had to protect them from certain things at that age. I do believe that average 11 years old is not capable of understanding everything in game in proper perspective.

I was gaming it up pretty hardcore when I was 11, but that was because I was in and out of the hospital and in a wheelchair for most of that year. It sucked, let me tell you. Thank god for Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, and Myst.

Ah, it seems I'm a bit your senior, Warden...  ... sorry to hear about your health troubles, but I'm glad you found solace in some kick-ass games. Sadly, those weren't available when I was 11... people were still wondering if Ellen was a lesbian when I was 11... that's how long ago it was. "Mature videogames" were as foreign and unthinkable an idea back then as a good U2 album would be today.

Hey, 11 is old enough to fight Voldemort and learn magic at Hogwarts, so...
