Who else here would want it to be a crime to go about naked?

In Oblivion and fallout and even new vegas, you could run about in your underoos at your leisure and not get a single disgusted look. I shouldn't be able to walk up to a woman in distress who will give me a quest to save her father when all I'm in is my skin! Personally, I would very much like it if people yelled at you to put some pants on, or women looked away out of embarrassment if you strolled down the street in the buff. And if you lounge about for too long, a guard will come up to you and ask you to pay the public indecency fine or go to jail.

well in medieval times nakedness was much more accepted than today, blame the victorians

Maybe not a crime, but I would want there to be more of a reaction if my player is naked. I always thought it odd how I could run around in my underwear in Cyrodiil and no one seemed to notice.


The Elder Scrolls and all of the varying cultures are not the medieval times. Everyone please please stop using this idea as a point of argument for anything. It is irrelevant.

It was weird in oblivion to talk to a guard in your "underoos" (lol) and not be arrested or anything. I support this idea.

Maybe if you walk in public areas or near palace/royal areas or something, yeah. But there's bound to be poor people in the world who can't afford clothes, so you can't just be picked off the street and locked away for indecency.
Although overall it should lower NPC's dispositions' towards you if you're flaunting your gear. People should also pass by with smug and disapproving comments.

still it doesn't mean we cant use it as a point of reference, the only real reason we look down on it is becuase society became more advanced and started to prosper, this is not the case though with ES there is not as nearly as many people and society hasn't advanced so far.

just saying people have accepted it for years
germanic tribes fought naked,
miners mined naked

Well in Daggerfall it would matter. If you dressed poorly, then the poor class will like you more, but you will be shunned more from the elite or rich crowd. If you dressed well then the poor class will shun you.

If you went in your skivves, then you couldn't talk to the Royals I believe, so clothing ment a difference in Daggerfall. I wish it did the same in Skyrim, since in Morrowind and Oblivion clothing didn't make a differnce in the game world.

Mining naked sounds like a terrible, terrible idea.

That's not why. It's because Nirn is not at all like Earth. Magic exists, elves exist, intelligent beast races exist. Nirn runs under extremely different rules than the real world. So many vital things that make modern society what it is today are completely different in every way in the Mundus. The idea that "society hasn't advanced" as far as the real world's is a flawed idea because they are two entirely different situations. No society in Nirn will ever be anything like our society. In time, it should only get even more different from our own because our society is something that has formed under the laws of our universe. Nirn's society will form differently under their universe.

people still act the same as people in this world, they organize themselves in societies they have different classes, so what if magic and different races exist the people still have the same personalities as people on earth

The Dunmer were prudes. The Cyrodiilians (*shrug*) weren't.

I yearn to feel the breeze between my knees in Skyrim and not be thrown in an oppressive cage because of my life choice!

I agree, if it's considered proper to wear clothes in public in Tamriel, which from all we've seen, is the case, I'd like some sort of reaction to doing this. Besides, it was amusing to run around towns without any clothes on in Morrowind and see how people reacted, I'm still hoping to be able to do this again in Skyrim.

Far worse thing than being naked, dress up in daeric boots, gloves and helmet, nothing else. A nvde mod makes it look even more stupid.
Always wear this then talking to nobility of rolleplaying reasons.

Depends on location, I would say, but I definitely want to have a reaction from it, like in Morrowind.

Except more realistic: if I am wearing a bracer and nothing else, people should still react to my nakedness.

I came up with the in daeric boots, gloves and helmet idea in Daggerfall, and I got respected because of my clothing. The respect was based on clothing price and enchanted daeric is very expensive.

Crime , no. reactions though, yes.


hmm.. daedric underoos...

Crime? That would be interesting. Proper reaction, yes. Some of the "greeting" and "Idle" dialogue with the clothing modifier in Morrowind were very memorable.



Correction at least for Morrowind.

This would have made more sense in Cyrodiil. I don't think it fits quite as well in Skyrim. Considering how strongly influenced it is by Conan/Vikings in general, both these sources generally had a lot of nudity. I'm not expecting nudity in the game though. That will likely be the first mod.

Maybe there will be tales of Hlormar Wine-Sot, and some people will go about naked in his honor.

In Skyrim, you should be punished for your nakedness, severely, by the freezing environment... and maybe the law, as well.

The game may not be based on medieval times but we can still come up with ideas that reference medieval culture.

All that post was trying to say was that cultural norms are different at different points and places.

Personally though, I still always thought it was bizarre that nobody cared about what I was wearing. This goes along with the wearing evil clothing thread I saw earlier.

I would LOVE to see disposition responses to your clothing (or the absence thereof lol).

Three words: BER. ZERK. ERS.
Nuff said.

Considering that in all the games you mentioned it was imposible to be naked without a mod, I fail to see why people would yell at you. You'd have to be a serious prude to get uptight about seeing someone in their underwear.
Don't really understand why its accepable to air programs like UFC, and yet natural nudity is considered offensive. I mean sure, you might not like to look at peoples danglies, but any way you look at it its less offensive than a punch to the head.

if im going to get in trouble for going around town naked my character BETTER BE NAKED...and i meanNAKED NAKED....nudie man nuggets....otherwise im not really naked
