So, nudity is a scandal in Skyrim, but grisly decapitations

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:03 am

I heard Todd speak excitedly about how you could have a pleasant surprise when an enemy head goes flying. . . and I saw it more often than I would have liked. I didn't bother with that perk, but my Dremora Lord had it and didn't mind showing it off. So much for the "don't like it, don't use it," method.

Now, with all that in mind, go about Skyrim in your loincloth for half a minute. . . and you get a TON of flack from the locals. Seriously? Half of the population is composed of barbarians who run around half naked all the live long day anyway, but for the bear pelts. And then one recalls Maiq's comments on nudity in previous games.

One starts to wonder. . . is Todd Howard part of Pat Robertson's 700 Club or something? Is he channeling the late Reverend Jerry Fallwell? The Daedric Demons and the Idols to various gods Aedric and Daedric would suggest not, but what is with the backwards morality message? Am I the only one who has noticed? Burned corpses, impaled corpses, viscera and organs splayed arcross the tables of necromancers, wicked, cannibal witch-crones and professional torturers, heads flying left and right. . . but a hostility towards nudity et al that rivals that of the most zealous evangelical bully. WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!

For shame.

Half naked is still a long ways from full naked.

Anyways, after a year, why am I surprised to see you still going on about wanting nudity in the game? You seem rather obsessed by it.

According to 80% of America, the most beautiful thing in nature is terrible and corrupting, but blood, violence, and gore are perfect.

Yep.

Its a harsh world out there, where heads roll at the slightest sideways glance. But if you are running around frozen tundra with only a loin cloth and a great-sword, well then the people will be concerned for you, they don't want the Dovakiin to freeze to death, even if you have 150% frost resistance.

Americans are obsessed with nudity.

The rest of the world, that's the vast majority of the planet, doesn't have the same hang ups.

This is why you get the PC version for the mods. I dont like nudity mods for TES games but many do.

While I agree with you, nothing is going to change so you may as well give up.

Oh boy, it seems its still cool in Europe to hate America and all it's inhabitants. You people are ridiculous. I have no problem with people disliking the soccer moms who cause these things, but the whole "Lulz Americanz are fatz and dumbz and liek to hurt thingz." gets pretty [censored] annoying.

Maybe I'll start parading around saying "Lulz Brit's have bad dental care and haz tea time and wear top hatz." because that's really what you all sound like.

Anybody can get the urge to have six and do it, not many will go out and kill someone. It's called logic.
