Prostitution is the oldest profession. Every civilization has had it, why wouldn't it make sense for Skyrim.

I only posted this because I thought adding marriage to a game like skyrim was ridiculous. I'm sure that a brothel isn't worth the effort for the devs, especially when the modding community will no doubt create one.

Anyway, who besides my is hoping to be a polygamist?

:shakehead:

Wow so the game is even more PC than previous games. I bet they removed drugs and smoking too

:D

Todd Howard has betrayed us...but then again its Todd Howard so its all forgiven

Want something in a Bethesda game?

There's a mod for it.

^THIS

I think a distinction could be made for the inclusion of a brothel in which our characters could partake in what's being offered "for sale", and simply a brothel that's more of a place like any other tavern, store, etc. I could very easily see a quest involving "going to speak with Bob, he usually can be found hanging out in the brothel". Then you walk in and Bob's sitting at a table with a busty wench on his lap with others drifting about the room, scantily clad, giggling and chatting up other men.

Although I can see why others would be against it, I think it's silly to say there's "no point to it". Is there a point to taverns? Guzzling mead? No, but it's part of someone's roleplaying experience. As others have said, prostitution is the world's oldest profession, and brothels are establishments that have been around for centuries. It is absolutely fitting that they be found in Skyrim.

LARGE step between marriage and a [censored]house, just saying.

Edit: And by that, I mean ratings. Bethesda could easily include marriage and not get knocked a peg higher on PEGI or ESRB. The same might not be said about a brothel. It has the potential to MAYBE knock them up a bit (giggity), if not implemented correctly.

And you can bet your ass some soccer mom would complain that they let their child play an 'M' game and there was a brothel in it.

I have a feeling that something like that is actually in Skyrim.

I have so many questions regarding the relationships and marriage element of Skyrim, but I'll guess I'll find out when I play the game.

People like that need either a slap in the face (men included) or just blatantly told to shut the [censored] up. :spotted owl:

OT - Y'know, after thinking about it OP, it would kinda make sense for one to be in. :shrug: Still couldn't care either way though.

If nothing else, maybe call girls can stand out on street corners and take you into a back alley.


Reaver's hot!

I don't think people should worry about the rating. Dragon Age (both games) had brothels in them and it didn't effect the rating.

Neverwinter Nights had one, and that was a T-rated game.

The world's oldest proffession is hunting/gathering food, which we have done since we first became heterotrophic organisms.

That's survival...not something humans did for money like prostitution.

*yawns* Not me.

Regardless, they did it for reward, and going by that argument, whatever they did to get what they exchanged (traded) for prostitution is an older proffession than prostitution.

Nice and realistic idea, but honestly (and I mean no offense to OP for this) it is a waste of space and would just cause unecessary uproar amongst people who think their 13 year old children don't know what six is.

It's just a saying. It's supposed to mean that many peoples throughout history have had prostitution/brothels, not that it's literally the oldest profession.

Okay, I see where you're going with this now. However, your original argument that hunting/gathering was a "profession" is still wrong. Reward and profession are two different concepts as you cannot call hunting a deer to feed yourself a profession. And trading your deer meat one time for six with a prosttute, also does not make it a profession. However hunting deer all day and selling/trading the meat could be considered a profession. You see the distinction?

However, as Neko_Kineko said, "Prostitution is the world's oldest profession" is just a saying. I doubt anyone knows what the first real profession was.



And by that logic taverns are a waste of space because some parents think their 13 year olds don't know what getting drunk is? People are going to complain about anything, so why call something a "waste of space" just because someone might complain?

Exactly.

But the problem is that America today views the most natural, beautiful part of life as a corrupting, terrible thing that makes children raving sixual-deviants. So, mass violence, murder, use of alcohol, and gore won't piss anybody off. But add nudity or suggestive themes, and you get slapped with an M rating.

Lolz

I prefer Harems personally, they just reek of Power

:wink_smile: YIN and the YANG :wink_smile:

^ EXACTLY! lol

For example, I was over at my sister's house one day and saw my 11 year old nephew playing Grand Theft Auto 3. I asked my sister, "You let him play that?" She replies, "Yeah, he knows not to let "those women" into his car." I say, "You sure?" She says, "Yeah, he just likes running them over on the sidewalk anyway."

:facepalm:


I think this mentality is why some people say marriage/six/prostitution/brothels have "no place in Skyrim".
