Due to the relatively few sexual themes, I would recommend 11+ for most, but a very mature 9yr old could also play this game. Parents should still occasionally check in on the game to make sure their child is not engaging in weird activities. Minor swearing (“D—n You!”), so if you have an issue with that be mindful.Skyrim is rated M for mature (17+) due to it's violence, yet ratings are arbitrary. The major game play elements are exploration and combat. Whether your kid plays as a mage, rouge or warrior, they will be effectively forced to kill game characters both monster and man- yet this is a staple of most video games.As the game progresses, the dialogue and on-screen text contain references to sexual material (e.g., “. . . all the whores your heart, or any other organ, desires,” “She . . . raped the men as cruelly as Bal had ravished her,” and “Remember when you thought [he] was . . .

Can you turn off blood in Skyrim : I just told you how to disable blood. Open the . ini file with a word editor (notepad will work), find "bDecalsOnSkinnedGeometry=1" and change it to "bDecalsOnSkinnedGeometry=0". And knock it off with the emoticons.

Should my 12 year old play Skyrim

In my opinion a 12 and above would be okay for the game. If you allow them to play games like Sims (Sims probably have more sexual content then this game) Gears Of War (A really bloody game) or DeadSpace your kid should be mature enough to handle the game.

Should a 10 year old play Skyrim : Now is Skyrim age-appropriate Not really. It's not as gory as most games, but still features decapitation, a bit of blood, and other light cases of video game violence. Again, it's not that bad and maybe your child can handle it, but I don't generally recommend it.

Also the game is violent which is about the only reason it is "M". The alcoholism and beer can be compared to a different game like "Sims" they only is it in certain areas like bars and taverns, not people walking around selling beer to random kids.

Violence, drug use, and partial nudity are the main reasons. Obviously you are a warrior in the game. Whether you use weapons or magic is irrelevant. Not long and starting the game you see a bang his head cut off, complete with blood.

A very mild "M" rated game. Violence is prevalent and decapitations are rare (mostly just some blood). At the beginning of the game a prisoner is put on a block and executioner cuts his head off with an axe. Blood gushes from the neck briefly.It has to be rated M17+ because of obvious legal reasons, but the actual content inside the game barely meets that rating, but when it does, it's extremely mild. I would honestly give it a Teen rating for violence and language. But otherwise, this game will be a lot of fun.

At it's most extreme, players are able to massacre towns and be apart of an assassin death cult.

Does Skyrim have 18+ : Yes. But honestly the worst you will see in game is some skulls covered in blood, but other than that I think the reason it has 18+ rating is because first of all there are fictional drugs in the game and because of blood and violence, but nothing bad or nothing I'd consider gross.
