I don't really care, but I wouldn't mind if it was in, or wasn't, New Vegas had it, with the one girl in the Gomorrah, it was just a fade to black with sound scene. And the had prosttutes with tape over their nipbles. Since, strangely, in the U.S. as long as you can't see the nipbles its not porm... I'd rather they don't show nudity though, scantily clad woman are alright.

I also completely agree. It's already going to be an M game.

Never made any sense to me.
[Ist century AD] - Hey, Seneca, what do I hear about this play Thyestes you're setting up? It's about a guy who kills his nephews and feeds them to his brother ! Children might end up seeing it by accident !
- Oh, okay, if it's to protect a few children of parents incapable of deciding and enforcing what they should or shouldn't see... I'll make it about beekeeping, then.


:rofl:

-------------------
I would not be happy if there was an actual six mechanism - all graphic and explicit stuff - in the game itself. That's like porm, and I'm buying TES as a game, not as a... well, whatever.

But, if NPCs talk about six, flirt, and say some things that would make a chaste Altmer maiden blush - sure, why not? There's a fine line between actually having six depicted in the game, and having six-references in the game - just one step shy from actually making NPCs do-the-deed.

if nudity isnt added, im pretty much positive that a mod would fix that, so it doesnt really bother me.
plus, no matter what rating they put on the game, ill ask my parents to buy it for me. they have quite a sound concept of "its only a game" :D

Same haha, I was buying Red Dead or Fable 2 or something and the Gamestop employee said to my dad "Are you okay with Violence Nudity, sixual Situations" or References or something, and my dad is like, I'm okay with it, hopefully he doesnt get too excited. Haha, I was so embarresed.

Bioware knows what they are doing when it comes to six. They know where to put it.

Poor Beth, past couple games it has only existed in naughty books and sultry letters.

our society sure does not have much of a problem with extreme graphic violence in games.

so what's the big deal about suggestive sixual encounters or inuendos?

Which point do you mean as the first? The one about the Middle Ages?

yes, but lets not derail the thread over it lol. The fact of the matter is that this "should be" in the game, unfortunately it is very difficult to include without upsetting anyone and even harder to include it in a way that doesn't seem childish or over the top. Honestly I survived without it in Morrowind and Oblivion and though it would add an interesting dose of realism into Skyrim I won't do much more than beat a kitten if it doesn't
(I am being very sarcastic of how I will deal with my dissapointment, but still put it in Beth break the trend of catering to the T and lower rated audiences It has been proven that all of them who want it will still get it within a week of release anyway)

In the MMO Age of Conan players were able to run around topless and there were brothels full of topless girls.

Reviewers bashed the game claiming immature males would be going around half naked all the time, this didn't happen at all. Instead you could play the game for weeks without seeing a single player inappropriately dressed, people generally only stripped off to go for a swim.

Well nudity does not have to be included, as in FoNV there was no nudity, but it would add to the feeling of the taverns if there was lightly dresses nord women dancing on the tables of the tavern/inn on a late friday night. Why not saturday night too?

A morrowind graphics extender mod had a view into a tavern where dancing on tables took place and in a corner a couple was kissing, I don't see why this couldn't be added.


And yes I do want to see kids in Skyrim, chasing eachother with wooden swords in the country side. And do make them un-killable, didn't feel odd at all in Fo3 or FoNV.


Yep, because nothing says "Icy north" like dancing in your underwear.

Golden idea. I approve. Mostly the reactions of being partly nvde. Hell I want people to cower and whisper to their friends ear when I walk around the town in full daedric.

what about the children>
XD ya

It's all over lawbreaker!

I liked how in Arcanum of steamworks and magick obscura you got completely unique reponses if you spoke to any NPCs without being dressed.

It's sad when you live in a socitety where someone being beheaded isn't as graphic as the nvde human being.

I must say that is one of the strangest ironies in our society.

Rampant murder and violence is fine, but the second six or nudity enters the picture its the end of the world for the politically correct. I mean the vast majority of people 17 and older have had six before (and all of them know exactly what it is), so why is it such a big deal if a game rated for those that are 17 and older has some six/nudity in it? I mean, I really could care less if there is nudity/six in Skyrim (there won't be... Bethesda has no spine, and they can avoid the drama by letting the mod community do it), but its the principle that I have an issue with. Arguing that six/nudity really isn't important in a game is one thing and even a legit argument, but claiming its offensive or too graphic in a game filed with rampant violence, blood and murder is simply idiotic.

Its great that society has accepted the fact that we can have violence in games/movies without the world ending, or falling into chaos. Now, we as a society need to accept that nudity and six are not going to kill anyone....... especially in M rated games.

If Dragon Age is any indication they also seem to think humans all have six while still in their underwear.

Heh, these were the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_%28torture%29 I was thinking of before opening the thread.

Poor Beth, past couple games it has only existed in naughty books and sultry letters.


Heh, stick it in a book, no one will ever read it. Such a sad admission :(

I do find the worlds of Ob and, to a lesser extent, Fo3 to be overly sanitised, certainly with respect to relationships, the more colourful aspects of common language and many other advlt tendencies and preoccupations. I feel a jarring disconnect when these morally wholesome, sugar and spice backdrops are painted over with escalating levels of violence and gore. I mean, ok, today's society is what it is but Beth's latest games in particular seem to shy away from the grit and folly and sleaze that make characters, groups, towns, entire worlds interesting.

Morrowind was lightweight, T certificate lightweight, yet even it managed to bring some notion of depravity to underlying cultures with its depiction of Skooma and Sugar. It acknowledged Delights and nudity, try stripping off sometime and running around. Laugh? I almost bought a console :D - this is a joke! As for colourful language, the game did a beautiful job of conveying meaning through cleverly written greetings delivered with pin point emphasis, the underlying joy, threat or dislike often palpable. I would happily take the Mw greeting style over a string a cuss words, it brings a level of originality to the world but, originality costs money and is often misunderstood, so...

I think FoNV struck a fine balance when it came to making situations, groups and individuals feel real while staying on the acceptable side of today's censorship. I could say most of the scenery was yellow/brown because all the other colours were used up in the dialogue but, that would miss the point. Some language was highly colourful but never in a gratuitous way. Some characters were as pure as fresh snow, others, well, they had a hard childhood - some, a very hard childhood. Racks and prostitution certainly exist in the game, though pastied and limited to the casinos perhaps as a reflection of the strengthening social structures. six? Sure, forget speech craft, you can sleep your way through part of the main quest! Some may find the situation in question more than a little sad, some will find it hilarious, either way I consider this a highly plausible option under the circumstances. And casual six? Sure, it exists, it's a thing. Sarah caught me totally by surprise, the total depth of our relationship to that point? 11 vault suits. What? Outrage! Totally unrealistic! I cite extenuating circumstances. Sarah's upbringing was totally amoral, every point of contention decided by a roll of the dice or the draw of a card. Insecure, very lonely, agoraphobic and a relationship with her brother bordering on the concrete garden (Easter egg?), perhaps she just wanted someone to hold?

Bring on the racks.
So long as the nipbles don't show on the radar and the world provides comfortable support and the background stories lift and separate them from the inane and gratuitous then, just possibly, the average acceptance of computer games as mature entertainment may increase by 0.11%


Yep, because nothing says "Icy north" like dancing in your underwear.


Phew, long time typing so forgive me if this has been mentioned already. Nords have 100% resistance to cold :)

I'm for nudity when it's done realistically. It takes a lot to get nudity just right. Displaying nudity in a scene where it really wasn't needed can leave the player scratching their heads at why it was included, instead of focusing on the actual point of that scene. Realistic nudity is minimal nudity, and I can understand why developers don't see the point in adding something so (sadly) controversial when it wont even be used that much.

Not that they need to offer you a handie under the table, but they don't need to treat six like it doesn't exist


Hahaha, great quote by you...

In all seriousness, I totally agree. I want Skyrim to have more mature and serious themes than Morrowind and Oblivion. I wouldn't mind a little six and nudity, but only if it's tastefully done and not some sort of gimmick.
