For example, ever play a D&D campaign and one of the player characters tries to hook up with an NPC? It can be fun and entertaining watching the Bard court an NPC. You do a little role play, make a roll to seal the deal and, the DM says something like. "Rembrand and the bar wench take leave of the bar room and head upstairs for a night of romance." Who goes into detail about what happens in the bedroom? It's creepy, nobody does that. The only reason my son made the Choice in the game to sleep with the Drow goblin leader was because he was trying to avoid her trying to kill him at camp. He reloaded and choose to sleep with her and got graphic cut scenes. We play all kinds of "M" rated games. I don't let him play GTA because it's too human, too realistic. D&D offers a fantasy, slaying monsters takes the humanity out of it, like killing zombies.
Rated M for Mature, 17+
BLOOD AND GORE
PARTIAL NUDITY
SEXUAL CONTENT
STRONG LANGUAGE
VIOLENCEAll of the explanation in the world isn't going to change the fact that you let your kid play a game that explicitly warns about the potential content that it features.
Your irresponsibility isn't Larian's fault, and they're not obligated to change anything just because you couldn't be bothered to check a rating that's been slapped onto every game made in the last 25 years.
Lesson learned, I hope. I'm
sure you'll be more proactive from now on.
