The difference being even though they comment on it, you don't get fined for public indecency, whereas if you were to chop a citizens head off, you would get a bounty and a bunch of angry guards.

please dont, this thread is fun.

OP...somehow it seems that you feel you are being very poignant here. It's an old, old argument, and it's not going to change even if you use 60 point type and get your own website as a platform.
Get a mod that will allow you to see what it is you want to see.
BTW, it's not only "Todd & co."

That's the best I can do to convey a simple truth to you.

I want dismemberment. Dacapitation isnt enough. I wanna lop off arms and legs, and chop [censored]as in half and watch their entrails spill. Especially in finishers. I also wanna be able to char the bodies. Nudity? Take it or leave it. Maybe knockers but that's it.

"What does the Bible say about violence?"
"What, which part? The part where Joshua slaughtered every man, woman, and child in Caanin? The part where God sent plagues upon the Egyptians? The part where God killed 36 of his innocent soldiers because some random guy disobeyed him? The part where God told Abraham to kill his son?"
"............. Nevermind."

I honestly swear I will not reply to any responses to my initial post. :thumbsup:

goodbye thread :sadvaultboy:

The irony being I went to a Christian school.

That's how I know all that.

It took an arrow to the knee

Everybody's favorite pinata... Christianity... <_<

I think you will find that most nationalities and religions have the same stance on this, so just blaming Christianity or Americans is silly.

Besides, I didn't buy this game to look at some guys Hampton.

indeed

So I'm the only one here that thinks playing with wood is uncomfortable.

You know, really should stop trying to compare two things that aren't related to each other. It's like claiming it's absurd for people to like football but hate knitting.

Bingo. Blood, guts and gore are acceptable, seeing willies and hoo-hoos isn't.

Uncomfortable and awkward to say the least.

I don't really get your point, isn't this also frowned upon by the people of Skyrim? If you decapitate a shop keeper you get arrested and if you run about in a loin cloth people complain. Sounds about right to me. I think it's kind of cool they notice and comment on things like that.

No way its 80% although women have more say in our society than they do in a lot of others...

Villagers seem to only notice you not wearing many clothes if you take your boots off as well. I was trying to annoy the Jarl's staff by wandering round Dragonsreach in underwear, and boots, but no one said anything. Then later I went for a swim, without boots, and the huntress lady started telling me I should cover my 'unmentionables'.

Maybe if you left the country sometime you'd realize just being an American get's you treated like a rock star in most of the countries in Asia and Europe. You will be asked about MTV constantly as well being offered drinks and invited to many a shindig. It's funny how the Americans who feel so defensive are usually the ones who couldn't be bothered to actually recognize they're part of a world, and not one country.

Yup, America has some strange aversion to nudity in media, although every other show, commercial, movie, music video, etc., has someone making out, half naked, dripping wet, etc.. It's ridiculous. If there's nudity in a game, cool, whatever. If not, no big deal. But the overall attitude towards it in America is absurd. Primetime television is riddled with gunfights, serial killers, rapists, espionage, conspiracy, etc., but Talos forbid you see a boob.

Unless you're watching American Horror Story, where every other scene WhatsHisFace Mulroney's ass is hanging out. I'm an American, and I have to agree that the culture towards nudity in this country needs to change. It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal. Personally, I think it's just a part of life.

Blame the Americans.

This whole thread is rather odd. I mean, as popular as it is to blame everything on America and its collective stupidity, the stuff in the game is common sense. Walk into a grocery store wearing nothing but your underwear. You don't think you're going to get a few comments and/or stares?

This is TES 5: Skyrim, not TES: Nudist Colony.

I am closing this thread. We have country bashing, we have people sniping at each other and... we have an OP that apparently never played Morrowind with an accidentally pantsless main character.

You can soapbox somewhere else about the violence in video games. This game is pretty tame by many standards. Yes there is violence in video games, and in this one, should you perk it, you can apparently decapitate someone. I think we'll all both not only live, but not run out and immediately decapitate someone, with or without pants.
