Profanity In Games

[Retro Wolf]

Look at Game of Thrones, that's insanely popular. I know grandmothers that love it, and they even use the c word in that show!

I had mostly mild cussing in Quest For Infamy.  Tried to limit the use of F-Bombs, just to give them more power.  Many we self-censored as a joke, but a few slipped through and the text says CENSORED while the narrator actually says "FUCKING" instead of us bleeping it out!  Ut oh!

Make the game for the audience you want to play it.

Try to dose profanity -- you can put a lot of it in the game, but only where needed. For example if you have a very rude character, make him swear all the time, but if all characters end up saying fuck all the time, then they won't sound badass anymore, the game will just sound dull and vulgar.
