You got a point there mate, i rather play aoc all nite long with my nephil with all its gore violence decaptation mutilation transplantation sexualization(when some love is showed in this violent game then it become a problem??) etc then trust him 5 mins with a priest ... the kind of damage a pervert priest can cause to him will follow him to the very rest of his life. |

My thoughts as european: It's not like pair of breasts wouldnt be one of the first things child sees after being born...

And again, the child is not mine. It is not my decision. |

To the OP: I think what you wanted to know has already been said. Which is: As far as we know, according to the previous quoted dev statement, the nudity and gore will have a toggle, as many games now have a blood/no blood switch.
So play Age of Conan with "Mature" content switched off when he's around, but you can turn it back on when he's not. |

Not that I care about priests and what people think about them, but.. There's pedophiles with all kind of jobs but only priests and teachers are worthy of showing up in the news, you're just suspiscious about priests because they have been in the news recently, but in reality you should be worried about any man with any job, if you should be worried at all. |

Shadow, I think it's very good of you to ask out of respect for the parents of the child. Many on here, I see, wouldn't give a damn about the parents. In fact they would make fun of them and think they go to church to get molested. How wise of them, eh?

I have no problem with nudity in a game as long as it is "part" of the game. Done in the context of the game and it's history as well as adding to story line and atmosphere is ok but... Giving the players the ability to dance as a pole dancing female night elf "nakee" is not the path I would like to see but as long as there is enforcement (as best possible) with the mature rating and the age of the player base then I think even that would be acceptable...may make me snicker but in an adult theme it takes all kinds. But to the OP. It is your responsibility to be your nephews guardian during his stay. You should take care of him the same way you would want one of yours taken care of. Think about it. When you have "your" time when he is napping, in bed, you know what I mean, then use it wisely and as a guardian of a young mind is tasked - be responsible. Doesn't mean you can't play, just not in his room! |

You are absolutely right mate but priests call themselves the carriers of the truth they speak for god himself they make ppl believe that their words are divine. Other professions dont do that, and talking about violence i bet AOC dont get even close to what church did to real life ppl for many centuries like torturing raping burning them alive etc. In a violent world like that nudity, sex or whatever is what makes us realize that we are still human being and brings up joy to our lives. |

* 6:30, Thats not the point. I cant keep him entertained 24/7 and thats the point, anyways thanks to everyone who respected my question, this is my last post. Hope to see you all in AoC! |

Dude, are you telling me it gets dark in Springfield VA at 6:30pm in the summer? I live in the same time zone as you, and in the summer it doesn't get dark until around 9:30pm. But anyway, no I wouldn't play AoC around an 8 year old.

*sigh* Maybe you're better off just not showing him the game at all. Either way, don't leave the kid alone with the majority of people that post on this thread. You might, in the end, be ok showing the kid the game or leaving him with certain priests, but these posters care more about their own moral standing than the responsibility one has to caring for a child as their parents choose.
With that out of the way.... violence is everywhere. There are now 4 different kinds of Law and Order, 3 CSI's, whatever other shows that involve shooting people, vampires, or the works, not to mention most movies, and I don't think video games even need to be mentioned since most are driven by some sort of violent action (GTA, Resident Evil, Zelda even). But nudity, in America (as I've been told in England there's no restrictions on topless nudity) it is filtered and screened from the eyes of most. As mentioned by the dev, most Adult-rated stuff finds itself on select stores and websites flooded with popups and the works. It takes skill to find decent, popup free, spyware and virus clean pornography even on the Internet. Even a Playboy magazine is rare to find in most convenience stores or elsewhere, and when you do it's still in a special sleeve to cover the cover, or even greater coverage to prevent seeing whatever might be on the front cover. It is simple to understand why one may choose to censor their child from nudity and not violence. It's unknown whether the parent would like to shield violence, but it's unlikely to be effective (as explained). Nudity, on the other hand, is easily censorable from a child's eyes. You could even say they are realists for accepting the innevitable of one and not the other. Regardless, none of you have any place to tell them one way or another. Perhaps when you are old enough to see a rated R movie in a theater, better yet have a child of your own, you may change you opinion. And when that happens you can leave your v-chip off, get skinemax, bookmark the good porn sites, and leave your favorite pornos sitting on the coffee table. But be assured, when one of your kid's friends comes over and even mentions ANY of it to their parents you'll regret it. |

I will stop posting if you stop being an idiot. So if im still posting, I wonder what tha means? |

So because you have had your trust broken by some child molesting priests, I guess that makes it ok that everyone should let all morals go out the window. Horay to the OP for actually having some morals and respect other family members. Judging by the posts its obvious that America is on a real steep decline regarding morals. I blame it on the baby boomers as terrible parents. I guess thats evidence that weed has serious side effects. Just look at all thier retarded children. |

Don't even bring drugs, especially weed, into this. For one, you are absolutely wrong, and two, has no relevance aside from the use of moral grounds for restriction.
BTW, was watching CNN or some other news network, forgot which, the other day. Apparently we are in the middle of a moral crusade. Prohibition was a moral crusade, look what good it did. |

lol this is pretty funny, all he wanted to know was if he could turn off the nudity/gore. But i think, for you nephew's sake, that you should play a boardgame instead, or maybe TOONTOWN online!! woot woot!. Eight year olds shouldn't see mature games, its just not right, and remember he will tell all. So do you really want your 8 year old nephew going home to tell his parents that he sat around watching tv as his uncle played video games? PLay a BOARD GAME!!! heres a poll for people to show what he should do:
