Except the part where Skyrim is on a completely new and separate engine from the last Elder Scrolls and undeniably contains new features not present in the previous installment but it is a good game.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Video games can't be evil, they're inanimate objects made for entertainment. I mean, it's not like it sits there chanting at you, "Kill your family kill your family kill your family" the whole time you're playing it. Now that would be kinda evil.
I've played Skyrim, it is actually a really fun game. You can pretty much do whatever you want. You can actually do the missions you're supposed to, or you can just run around and kill things with a giant sword. Or you can help random people and they'll become friends with you.
Sometimes evil gods will try to tempt you, though. You can choose to help them or defy them. I usually defy them, you can never trust them.
As for dragons... hey, the dragons are the bad guys. You're not supposed to like them. You're supposed to kill them. So every time you fight a dragon, you can pretend you're killing Satan. Over and over again, because they never stop coming after you. Just like Satan.
It's not that bad of a game if you think about it like that.
Now I'm going to sit back and wait for the rude responses to my polite opinion.

Video games can't be evil.

Of course they can. They're almost all evil.

Evil? Evil is a trait of sentient beings... particularly humans. With souls. Are you saying that video games are alive? Are you saying they have souls?!

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

You can pretty much do whatever you want.

Can you praise Jesus Christ, our heavenly Lord and Father, until you die or He comes down from Heaven to rapture all of the Saved in the First Resurrection?

Can you praise Jesus with some like-minded fellows, only to have a disrespectful teenage twerp come in and claim to know Jesus better than those who have been following his holy Word for longer than they have been alive?

If so, sign me up then count me out.

Uh... no... Skyrim takes place in a completely different world called ...hellish braying deleted.... I like to argue with you.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Alright, let me get this straight for all of you who have sadly mistaken that this game and the games before it are evil. The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim is a game in the elder scrolls series, obvious in the title. You are the dragonborn, who is a person that has the power to harness the shouts of the dragons, and save the world from near-destruction, once again.

(By the way, Skyrim is the name of a province in the north of Tamriel (The continent). The name is actually a combinations of Sky and Rim, meaning, Sky's rim, or Sky's end.) In the game you are given the task to defeat the legendary dragons who have awoken for a mysterious reason. You use a huge variety of skills to play the game. You can be good, evil, or you can be neutral. It's all your choice.

So you people have been saying that since this videogame has magic, it's satinic. NO, it isn't. It's a fantasy game, which means the entire world there is made up. It takes almost nothing from the real world. Magic in the game is not evil, it is just what the players request for. You see, we are not living in the 1600's anymore, and you can clearly see that it's fictional and is just meant for the players enjoyment.

The game is meant to appeal to everyone, so you have almost unlimited choices. If the game was solely based upon the bible, other people from different religions would get upset and complain. But you people are exceptions, since you are extremeists. Saying verses from the bible would base the game for one group of people, and the developers would take in less income.

The freedom of the game is what makes it unique. You can take various paths to reach certain goals, so just to make the game seem fun, you can kill others NPCs (They don't exist, you know) and steal things. The game is not meant for small children, and even if it was; unless the child has various mental problems it wouldn't harm them.

Video games are meant for escapism, it isn't evil, it's just meant for entertainment. See, why would a good company spend millions and millions of dollars to send so subtle messages (Which aren't even there in the first place) that no one but perverted minds such as yourself could see? It doesn't make any sense at all.

Your logic is the same as saying that mowing grass is satanic. "Oh, well it does it automatically, so it much be witchcraft!"-No! Your just trying to slowly pry peoples own freedom from their hands by convincing them it's made by satan and spreading lies. You know your totally wrong, you just won't admit it.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

So how does any of this make any difference to the rampant idolatry, polytheism, demon worship, sin and depravity in the game?

The "Demon worship" in the game is just to make the world a more convincing place. I mean, if you played the game and just saw christians everywhere, and had no motivation to win the game, would it be fun? No! If you don't like a certain town or religion in the game, you can easily just wipe them out (If you put enough effort into it). What's the point of no storyline in the game? You need to do something to classify it a game. So the point is to KILL these demon worshipers in the game. Not praise them.

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Incoherent wall of flippity flap.

My friend, True Christians™ do not have time to digest vast walls of poorly written twaddle in defense of filthy sin. Is it safe to assume that you hate God, and have devoted your existance to sitting in front of a monitor engaged in wicked and sinful fantasies?

Just think what you could accomplish for Jesus if you gave Him the same time and energy you waste on foolishness!

In Christ

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

By using magic? No way! The Bible is very much against magic.

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

Though I doubt you care with your user name.

you don't have to use magic, it's a choice

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

The very title causes me to shudder. "Skyrim" is clearly a portmaneu of "sky" and "rimming," an act so vile that I can only imagine how depraved an individual would have to be before trying it (just to note: The Christian rule is that you never go rectum-to-mouth. Or for that matter, go anything except 'go to your room alone and pray to Jesus for forgiveness'). That they would associate the sky, which is clearly the location of Heaven, with such an indescribably foul act is sickening in the extreme. No surprise that it's being made by game developers, who are notably anti-Christian. Rest assured, their neckbeards will be caught aflame once they're burning in the pits of hell!

it's called that because the continent you play on is the "rim" of the "sky" because of all the mountains ie. the continent touches the edge of the sky. if you're going to find double meanings don't just go with the one that suits your purpose

Exactly. So depraved are you gamers today that you demand depravity to add spice to your "entertainment". What's wrong with a good cock fight?

Re: Will Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim be ok to play or will it be evil

Just got back from playing Skyrim. The people on this game are crazy! I was talking to a priest and he wanted me to see what was going on in the Hall of the Dead, because apparently something has been eating the flesh and bones of the dead. So I go down there and there's this cannibal woman who tries to talk me into joining her cannibalistic cult. She wants me to meet her later, I don't think I'm going to.
Anyway, yeah, this game is truly amazing. It has beautiful scenery, mountains, meadows, rivers... quite beautiful. And the politics, religion, and history is so deeply thought out, it feels like it could be a real place. Maybe it doesn't have Christianity, but hey, it's not making you follow the religion of the game, now is it? If you want to kill every demon who tempts you, then you can. And the dragons are hardly a challenge, if you think they're all evil then you can kill all of them too. Except Parthurnaax, he's the one good dragon who actually helps you out and doesn't want to eat you.
But I'm just rambling again. We all have different opinions.
