Elden ring offers 20 or so templates for messages and the ability to chain 2 templates with conjunctions for example: “Beware of {noun}” where noun is one of 200 or so whitelisted words. Kids still find creative ways to insult other players.


But if FromSoft cared to moderate the messages they could; there are a limited number of combinations that can be made. FromSoft instead encourages the behavior (e.g. by always having a few dead NPCs hanging over a railing with the butt facing the player), which is fine because they make games for adults.

The annoying thing about Roblox is that they're really not trying to experiment and figure out what could work, instead hanging on to a chat model that kids definitely can hack around.
