And partly due because they are not like World of Warcraft where they don't even so much as mention the word sex, and only cleveage you would see on it..well their is none. Bioware has the shy girl, the bad ass girl. You can't make the cake, but only put in the stuff you

WoW has plenty of cleaveage, and I distinctly recall some ghost of a courtisan mentioning a threesome with a warlock and his imp.

Oh please. If you don't want profanity in a game, simply don't buy a game that has profanity well signalled in their ESRP/PEGI rating label.



You don't want your kids to hear it?

In that case you should NOT be playing play an M (ESRB) / 18+ (PEGI) game with your kinds around. So, since you're already doing a bad job with your parenting all by yourself, why complaining?

Hell, for all that matters, you could at least get an headset.



You think there's profanity in Mass Effect 2? Try the new Assassin Creed 2 DLC (the Battle for Forlì). THAT is profanity (even if most won't notice because it's in italian).



Other than that, seriously, go back to playing with your wii.

Its an M rated game. If you don't like it, don't buy it. If you have children or parents, use head phones.

Man. Just looked up to see if there was a language filter, was surprised by the vehemency of some of the hate.



I doubt a petition would have any effect, but if it did, it would only mean those of use who didn't want the language wouldn't have it and would be happy. If the F bomb turns you on or whatever, you wouldn't have to enable the filter.



Yes I know it's M, keep kids away blah blah blah, but it's a matter of enjoyment. A language filter would simply increase some people's enjoyment of the game, and not affect the others (other than the "liek omg they added a language filter those pansies" reaction some people would have).



So if you don't like the idea of a filter, that's fine. But it wouldn't be forced on you even if they made one, which they won't. So chill.



It's still a pretty sweet game though, even if the occasional f bomb gets annoying.

M for mature

dont care if its an option, i dont lose anything, but there is much more that should be an option before a language filter.

The OP does have a point. I just finished playing ME1 again (like my fifth playthrough), and ME2 has so much more swearing and dirty talking than ME1. F-bombs, B-words, S-words are thrown so casually now in ME2 it's hard to find a conversation without them.

[AntariusX]

Stuff like swearing, advertisements made the world look more real. Add more stuff like this. I still wonder why my game email doesn't get any spam.

It's almost like you're spending all your time among soldiers and criminals.

There are a couple of spam messages you should be getting throughout the game, at least

[Edje Edgar]

You know the irony? The less you swear the more potent the words get. If we all swear 24/7 the words would lose all meaning. The only reason people still get insulted is because others pretend it's a big deal.



Words are just moving air, whatever power they have is because of you. Enlighten yourself, not by prohibiting others to speak, but by limiting what you hear.

1) Not ok with blood, death, murder, etc.  However, the representation of these things is very much removed from the reality. A drawing of one stick figure kicking another in the balls is not the same as being kicked or kicking someone in the balls.  Simulated shooting someone in the head is very far removed from actually shooting someone in the head. If the game were overly gory though, I probably still wouldn't play it.

2) Not terribly interested in sex scenes. These are also removed (obviously) from the real experience, however they are more effective at activating responses than simulated violence.  I avoid these, if you couldn't I probably either wouldn't have the game or would wander off during those points.

3) Not terribly interested in bad language. Real badlanguage is much less severe than real violence (or real sex scenes), however simulated bad language is much closer to real bad language than simulated violence is to violence. Thus simulated language annoys me more than simulated violence, simply because the simulated violence is fake. It does not annoy me as much as the simulated sex, which you can avoid.

A desire to avoid bad language and/or sex in a violent game does not imply that bad language and sex is worse than violence, but that simulated bad language and simulated sex are worse than simulated non-overly gory violence.

You might let your 4 year old kid watch a slap stick cartoon where a mouse hits a cat with a frying pan; you probably wouldn't let him watch a cartoon of Micky and Minny getting it on.

Hate to break it to you, but out in the world, yeah, that place, people swear. A lot. ME is a dark sci-fi universe, I mean it would be unrealistic to never heard a bad word out of someones mouth. Seriously, given the actual content, having someone swear is just nothing, it fit's with the game.

[Darth Obvious]

I absolutely LOVE the realistic language in ME2.



It's one thing not to want your kids to see sex or violence on the screen, but words are harmless. Furthermore, the taboo against "swearing" has been misunderstood through the years, and it originally had nothing to do with these harmless words. It is only those who have mutilated a particular religion that have managed to convince a bunch of gullible people that somehow certain words are bad. It's pathetic, really. If you think those words are "bad" or "evil", then you have been manipulated by a culture a lot more sinister than these harmless words could ever be.

There are plenty of other games out there suited for people like you. Try the Viva Pinata games. Unless that's too explicit for you. Then I suggest covering your ears in wax and burying your head in a hole. Maybe cover yourself in honey and wander into a Thresher Maw nest.

I know I'll get a lot of inevitable hate about this (and so much ironic talk about being "adults") but do you guys think there is some way to petition BioWare for an explicit language filter? Is it even possible to get this as a patch?

You're cool with the 1000+ people you kill during a playtrough but not a few swears?

I'll be frank with you. No, it won't happen.

To be honest, I did find it odd that aliens are quite familiar with human swearing.  On the other hand, they are quite familiar with human languages in general so I can't complain.

They are not actually swearing in English, they are swearing in Asarian.  Your little translator thing translates it for you.  It is all in the Codex man.

[Taimae]

Whilst I don't mind swearing, I did find that at times, they were trying too hard. It's like the teenagers who think they're all grown up because they use the word **** all the time- it looks silly.



Anyway, to the point. If someone doesn't want to hear the swearing on their game, then it should be okay to have an optional filter. Some games have optional gore option, and as someone said earlier, Brutal Legend has the optional filter. The person isn't saying it should be for everyone, but for people who just don't feel like hearing it.



Relax, no one is trying to take away the precious 'freedom of speech'. Some person just wants an option to not have to hear it if they don't want to.

[Darth Obvious]

Well I don't want to hear the word 'green'. If I hear it I am going to get all huffy, I swear!

Do they even say green in the game? I mean, I've seen the colour green, but I don't remember it being said.

Yeah, who would have thought a sweet girl like Jack would cuss so much?

IMO, all the swearing in the game is warrented.  The people who do it a lot(Jack) make sense within their character.  Others do it on occasion, and usually, the occasion permits it.

That said, if they want to stick in a filter, I don't care, as long as they don't go the other way and try to make ME3 as 'friendly as possible'.  Listening to people swear(when appropriate) makes me more immersed into the world.  Some convict gets shot and say "Dang it, that hurts" . . . yeah.

Well all this "language filter" stuff and all these "beeeeps" over those "oh so bad" words, thats typical USA I guess.

I'm from germany and we don't have any filters in our TV, radio or anywhere else, and I can say for sure that it doesn't bothers me when younger children watch TV/play games and hear explicit words.

A child will learn all theese words anyway in the internet or in school.

Anyway, this game is rated "m" for mature in USA, 16+ in Germany and 18+ by PEGI.



Conclusion: the normal players are old enaugh to listen to curse word.
