GreedFall: The Dying World

GreedFall: The Dying World is rated T for Teen by the ESRB with Blood, Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Alcohol, and Violence. This is an action strategy game in which players assume the role of a hero attempting to stop a general's evil plans. From a third-person perspective (somewhat overhead), players explore towns and environments, interact with characters, complete quests, and battle human and fantastical enemies (e.g., soldiers, beasts, plagued beings). Players use swords, axes, bows, pistols, and rifles to attack enemies in turn-based and melee-style combat. Battles are accompanied by cries of pain and blood-splatter effects. Environments occasionally depict corpses and/or bloodstains on the ground/walls. Cutscenes depict further instances of violence and/or blood (slightly closer perspective): characters stabbed; a man shot; characters slicing their hands with knives, accompanied by blood effects. The dialogue/text references suggestive material (e.g., “She only plies her trade in the brothel…just step inside and pay”; “The only priest I know susceptible to have liaison with a prostitute would be..."; “a regular fixture at the brothels"; "one of the guard's wh*rehouses”). Players can initiate romance cutscenes, including one in which a woman straddles and kisses a man on a bed—no sexual acts are depicted. During the course of the game, several characters are depicted drunk (e.g., slurring their speech); some missions and scenes require players' character to buy drinks in taverns (using them to get information/items) or obtain alcohol to give to characters. The word “sh*t” appears in the game.
