I used to see this all the time in the old Sega game "Phantasy Star Online" where objectionable chat was replaced with "*".
So "Nice shoes!" became "Nice s****!"
You couldn't arrange to play a game on "Sa****ay".
And god help you if you lived in a "ba*****t".
Or if your name was Nasser...
Same problem but when I migrated from Black Ops 1 to Modern Warfare 2 or something similar - couldn't name my class containing assault rifles "assault"
Dark Souls would do something similar with names in PvP. For the most part it wasn’t a huge deal but being a medieval fantasy game, a lot of players you’d face would be called “___ K***ht”.
I really thought you were talking about Elder scrolls, and was wondering how Khajiit would be censored ("haji"?) before my dyslexia kicked out
I still can't figure it out.
knight
k***ht
Ok yeah. duh. you know its funny because I was wracking my brain for a word that had ht like that. Man so like every name with night would get hit. night blade, night terror, etc.
Because it doesn't make sense, DS and ER are overly censoring, my friend made a character, bowperson, it censors it to bo***rson
honestly that does not make sense to me either. wpe? you know back in my mmo days I remember we would laugh at some stuff that was and I did like to screw around putting stars in my chat.
Black Knight? Great film
I wanted to make a lore friendly character name in elden ring but they censored the word finger...
Variations on the way we used to handle the Scunthorp problems are almost always amusing for how bad they were
