I really love this game although i havnt finished it. It is more of a mature game but kids that are 13+ shldnt have a problem with most of it. I havnt heard any really bad language, nothing you can't hear kids saying at school. There is some partial nudity from one of the demons because only the nipples are covered and just barely. The blood isnt really that bad, it doesnt even look like blood and you dont get scars or anything like that. You can make many decisions that wld be a good learning point for many kids. I'm 16 and my brother is 14 and we both sit and play the game and so far have had no real big problems.

This is a violent and gory game with sex and "drugs"(potions). Bu tthe thin to think is that the fighting and gore although there is very unrealistic and the gore is not as bad as you migh think. You basically run around with a sword (if your a warrior) then you wack it at this evil deamony thing and some red stuff comes out, it is not realistic and no scars show up on the enemies or you. I think that this game has an amazing and deap storyline and is very relevant and adresses many topics such as racism in a way that you can pu yourself in the shoes of someone who is being abused because of your race (humans hate elves and treat them as slaves). You are faced with many moral choices which are really deap and can be quite difficult if you get emotionally atached to the caracters who you play with, and seeing as you can build your own haracter you become him (or her). I dont think that this game is suitable for anyone under the age of 13 but for a mature 15 year old I think that this would be more that acceptable . There is so much story and depth to this game that it would take me a day to write about it, but this is not something which should be turned down just because of some gore, this is a deep and challenging game with lots to learn about life in it and should definitly not be passed for a 15+ year old. It would actually be a sin to not let a 15+ year olod play this game.

It's not a question of "Is it okay since there are other more _____ games out there?" It's a question of "When is it too far?" Fill in the blank with whatever you wish: violent, sexual, or vulgar! You can read the other reviews for what exactly is in the game. I haven't played it myself, although I have heard much from my friend and I have seen parts of it while over her house. Admittedly, the game's graphics are nice. It's really fun to be able to pick different backgrounds and stories (as is why it is appropriately named Origins). However, don't let the nice graphics fool you! I've read many reviews--for games, televisions shows, you name it!--that say "there are games that are more violent than this one." Does allowing your child to play this game because it is not the worst make it right? This is a great example of tolerance. By allowing something to happen because it is not the worst, you are gradually making whatever used to be seen as wrong "okay" or "tolerable." Eventually, the line will continue to be pushed back. Is that okay with you, as a parent? I've decided, although I am not a parent myself and I'm not even an adult yet, there are some things I can simply not tolerate. I do not like to expose myself to sex, violence, and cussing, but I know it's out there and I cannot avoid it. I have decided, I won't expose myself to any more of it than what I can't control. I agree with a previous review who said you should know your kid and what they can handle. It is especially important to talk to them on subjects associated with the game: sex, alcohol (it isn't the biggest problem, but it's there), violence, and moral decisions. I wouldn't recommend the game for a child, but if you do let your teen (or younger, God forbid!) play the game, you must, must, MUST talk to them about the themes and what is right and wrong. There is no doubt they will come into contact with similar things on television, in commercials, and in the real world. I also agree, if your child has trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy, make sure to stay away from this game. If that is a problem, I suggest you tackle that immediately! This game is the least of your problems in that case. In my experience, everything that the Mature label warns is in the game... IS IN THE GAME! So if you have a problem with your kid being exposed to sex, nudity, crude language, and whatever else is on the label, then don't let them play it. If you have to, look up scenes from it online. Decide for yourself if your comfortable with letting your kid play the game. Dont' wait until it's too late: your kid is playing the game and opts for some sex with an NPC. If you're not sure if the game is appropriate, then skip it. There's no harm done that way.
