Anyone notice the large lack of sixual content in this game?

One of my biggest peeves is this weird obsession we have with being modest about our bodies. Holy crud a [censored], lets face it we've all either seen one or don't care what it is. I can't stand the bizarre ideal that killing someone is fine so long as they're decently clothed. Our bodies shouldn't be taboo and six is perfectly natural.

That said I see no reason for them to graphically include it, or even really allude to it. Not many people are gonna say "Yeah I had six last night" to a stranger, or even to a friend. As for prosttutes there are allusions to their existence, nova clearly, bittercup less so and the woman in rivet city seems...open about herself.

Point is it doesn't have to be there at all, the hints are present (and frankly I wouldn't want it included, the time/effort it would take is nasty for little payout). But I think the modern revulsion with six and the naked body is disturbing in the extreme.

I dont know. I think this is one of the sixiest sensual rpgs from Bethesda since DAGGERFALL. Those leather armors just scream 1960s sci-fi like PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES and BARBARELLA. Theres always mods Exnem's nvde Body Replacer for Fallout 3 v1.1.0 for example which deliever beauty of the female form in spades.

I don't want a shallow, hardcoe game, but the odd bit of romance, a brothel, whatever. I don't like that the game seems to want to pretend six doesn't exist.

As for "But what if a child sees it?", well too damn bad. Are we to censor everything, despite the content clearly being rated as advlts-only?

Actually, there are hints and references to it throughout the game......but the LW is scripted as some sort of celibate warrior-monk who shows no interest in the subject even though they are at thier reproductive prime. You can even buy Clover, a slave who was conditioned to be a bed-mate as well as a bodyguard, and the LW's only option is to take a nap with Nova for 120 caps. No need to be pormographic about it, but even a Bioware-style roll in the hay with Sarah Lyons before marching on the Purifier would have been an improvement.

yep thats pretty much what it is here, I did'nt really care about a lack of sixual content if I want ''sixual content'' ill do that on my own time with my girlfriend, dont really care about it in a game but not against it just dont care.


I did notice the lack of sixual content and was not really bothered or surprised as it ws not advertized like that in any way but I did
kinda expect a certain amount well more than there is any way or as has been said a relationship of some kind for the LW.
Im guessing they cut that part of it out as far as Amata (or what ever the vault girls name is) as the LW can be either six, maybe?
that or they just cut so much stuff due to lack of time and did not want to put back or miss the release date, money, money, money!

On one hand I gotta agree with

It is rated and clearly marked as a 18/advlt Content for advlts only and there is not a lot of point of marking a thing as advlt only
if the advlt content is not added, kinda defeats the point as I dont see a bunch of middle quality graphics loosing their heads and limbs
as being advlt only. Regardless of what socca moms say, its not real and you would have to be fairly limited in brain power to not
see that or tell the difference between a game and reality regardless of age.

Im not saying there should be pormography or any thing near XXX status but the lack of any thing is just lame.

Besides I gotta agree with this above and the other half objects and then get in the way, in a good way ;), Also I dont really think its
needed, it may had added to the immersion had there been a relationship of some kind and would have made a lot more sense if they
had but im not going to miss it, some things are better Role Played in Real Life, however you do it!

It's good to keep six out of video games, imo those two things should just not be together. You don't buy a video game expecting to get sixual pleasure from it, do you? (if you do then your just kwayzee) There are other places for sixual pleasure, like the internet, and not post-apocalyptic Washington D.C.

I stand by what I said. I'm not saying I want interactive hardcoe six in the game, but the lack of nudity, partial nudity, etc. is disappointing. Also I have a spouse and I have a 3 year old. I don't play Fallout or similar games when my daughter is in the room because of the language and violence. I don't want her exposed to me sniping someone in the face and watching their brains explode all over the waste. Just like I don't watch R rated movies when she is present. Fallout is an advlt game and I don't see how any responsible parent would allow their children to play or watch it. With or without any additional sixual content.

Honestly what it comes down to is that video games are considered to be for children by most of the general public. So they don't include six/nudity because they don't want to be seen as promoting that to children. But whats really messed up is that the violence and bad language are ok. When, in my opinion, they are much much worse.

As i stand by my words.

if you want nudity, thats what we got the internet for. just keep it out of my games.

i know, right? videogame violence is good, but VG six is bad? go figure... <_<

but then again, thats a hard one to call. Most violence in games i dont have a problem w/, like gears of war or COD, but when you have stuff like beating ppl down in the streets, killing cops, and killing elderly ppl (GTA) then i have a problem.

I've removed a number of problematic posts from this thread. However it looks like the discussion has largely run its course - different people and peoples have different tolerance for violence and sixuality, and for that matter gore, profanity, and drugs. At this point much of the discussion is about differences between nations and I don't want to tempt a second go at the nation-bashing I have removed.

Most of your have been perfectly civil in this discussion (including some of the posts that I have removed). However this thread is no locked.
