Starfield's Post-Sex Dialogue Sure Is Weird

The ESRB has given the highly anticipated game an M rating, adding that the word «f**k» appears too.

Bethesda Game Studios has spent years building Starfield full of mysteries and locales to explore--as well as apparently some silly pillow talk. The Entertainment Software Rating Board has slapped an M rating on the sci-fi RPG and described exactly why the sci-fi RPG deserves that label.

For starters, the ESRB says Starfield has «some suggestive material» for players «after sharing a bed with characters.» One specific example is: «Life is a sexually transmitted disease that's a hundred percent fatal.» There's also a goofy line like this: «I'm all for getting a little wild, but next time let's try it without the jetpacks.»

In addition to the pillow talk, Starfield apparently features a drug called Aurora. The narcotic has a «prominent» role in the spacefaring game, according to the ESRB, with players able to steal, buy, and use it. This more than likely explains why Starfield's rating in Australia is above Bethesda's past games.

There will be plenty of violence in Starfield, too. Blood will spill out of enemies as players use guns, lasers, and explosives to dispose of them. «Cries of pain» can also be heard from foes, which include humans, robots, and aliens.

Last but not least, the ESRB highlights that «f**k» and «bullsh*t» will show up in Starfield. So not only is there suggestive language, but strong language as well.
