Skyrim Players Can Turn To Cannibalism

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will get players to choose whether or not to become a cannibal, the game's BBFC listing has revealed.

Previous Elder Scrolls games enabled players to become vampires, forcing them to feed on NPCs. Bethesda also dabbled with the theme of cannibalism in both Fallout 3 and the Obsidian-developed New Vegas, which both featured the Cannibal perk.

The BBFC describes a 'strong moment' in Skyrim is "a section where you make the choice whether to join a group of cannibals in eating human flesh," noting that the act isn't actually shown.

Skyrim is rated 15 in the UK, and hits shores worldwide for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on 11 November.

A new trailer for Skyrim's making-of documentary hit yesterday - and features more dragons.
