The Gore/Nudity Suggestion & Concensus

Post » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:30 am

With that same logic, why add anything to the game at all. Just make a blank template and let modders do it.

Not when a option would kick up a political correctness [censored] storm that would end up with the game being banned in several countries and FOX news caling the game an interactive porm simulator.

:lol: Some of these prude people make me laugh. It's 2011, grow up. Most of what I suggested went into skyrim, if you actually read and watch some of the video's, you would know that. The only thing, THE ONLY thing I didn't see that was in this thread mentioned was nudity. Why? It isn't that big a deal, it adds power to story telling, and aesthetic value to the game. Adding a sense of realism and immersion that was only present in nudity mods, that sit on the top of every, top 25 mods since morrowind. Do not be shocked if you start playing and you kill an elf. As you are stripping them of valuable clothing, armor, and weapons, you notice that underwear is considered a clothing now and the elf can be completely stripped down. Do not be surprised if you pop in the cd it loads up and a warning for mature content pop's up. Do not be surprised if it is like one of those mods you hypocritically download after you came on here and said you didn't want it in the game.

Sounds to me like you're the only one who thinks nudity is a big deal. I couldn't care less if the game has [censored] or not, but apparently you feel the need to concoct fantasies of Skyrim taking all your suggestions and people who say they hate nudity but secretly download it just for some sense of smug self-righteousness.
Let me paint a scene for you.

You are traveling down a mountain path, clogging and lethargically stepping along in your clunky Nordic armor. The long narrow path scoop’s down into a fork. You decide to head left and prospect a relatively unvisited cave. As you head down the path bandits shoot down ropes from the tree’s and ambush you. Four bandits, encircling you, make it possible to make out a mage, rogue, warrior, and healer. Whipping out a one handed axe from its sheath and wielding a flame spell in your left hand, you burn, swirl and finish off the encroaching warrior. Back rolling toward the healer and mage, you simultaneously switch to dual throwing axes. Whipping up to your feet you throw both axes at your targets and connect both killing the mage and knocking the healer to the ground with axe in her leg screaming in pain. The rogue now running in fear to high ground as the healer painfully takes the axe out of her leg, attempting to heal. Chasing down the Rogue you switch to dual fireballs. Combining the power of the two spells you cast at the retreating rogue killing him in a gulf of fire that sets the land and trees on fire. As you turn around, the healer is at your back with a dagger and manages a good stab in your leg. You stumble and groan and manage to get one fireball off to finish off the healer.

Searching the bodies in order by which one is closer to you, being the healer you take her healing tonics and administer them immediately. Taking the rogue’s bow, everything else is burnt. The warrior, a male Nord has brilliant near perfect armor, having a high barter, you know it fetch’s a high price. You remove the armor carefully from the warrior leaving his naked body lying where it was. Grimacing at the sight of the wounded naked body, you move on, reminding yourself of the value of the armor. Finally you make it to the mage, whom had nothing of wealth, but you retrieve your dual axes. Satisfied with your claim you head back to the fork, on your way back to town.

Is there any point to this story? How does the rest of it have anything to do with that one line where that one guy is naked?

I didn't know anyone actually watched fox news still . . . Anyways who cares what the media says. It isn't like they got anything done at all except made us actually look into if they had any validity, which according to all the modern experiments, they don't. Jack Johnson was a wash out and I fail to see why a gaming company should cave in because of crap like that. . .

The Elder Scrolls: San Andreas

Epic. I wish, better yet, Fallout: San Andreas.

Sounds to me you didn't read everything I said and how I pointed out that it was not a big deal. Bumber failboat, guess you better change that name.

This suggestion isn't only about nudity, it just seems to be important to you so you automatically only thought of that. . . I was trying to paint a picture of what it might look like, you are welcome.

The only thing that's bad about having nudity in games is, it makes me want to pause the game and watch porm lol.

Your post wasn't pointing out how it wasn't a big deal, it was unreasonably saying anyone with a problem with nudity used nudity mods (WTF!?!) and that it adds immersion and storytelling, That doesn't mean it isn't a big deal

Considering the paragraph before it was almost entirely about nudity, it's a bit of a non-sequitur.

Maybe someone could make a mod that adds [censored] houses in the game, that might be interesting.

There is a reason for that. It is the only thing I am not sure went into the game. I know most of the gore suggestions went in, that is why I was explaining that already in that post about how we will not know until the game comes out about nudity because it isn't a big deal.

You do not need one, it is called Fallout new vegas. lol They opened the door for that. But, that raises the question, what would a [censored] house be called in the bronze age? I forgot.

In one of Raymond E. Feists books they call it a "House of Reeds" and a "Kingdom of white cloth"

But I think they are just called Brothels.

Hahaha. I hope they have clever names like that. I can only remember reading "The Goat Song", and they called them bathhouses or something like that.

Just to way in here, Bethesda doesn't use nudity in the elder scrolls. It's not their style, people find it offensive and unnecessary. It will never happen in an elder scrolls game so get over it.

I started when Arena first came out, and badly pixellated boobies don't count as nudity (and that was before video games had a KIDS ONLY stigma)

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Fan_Interview
19. What audience is Oblivion going to be aimed towards; Specifically, what do you believe the final ESRB rating are you working towards?

Our audience is game players who love fantasy and great games. As far as ESRB rating, I don't really know, and to be honest we don't shoot for one or another. We said this with Morrowind as well: We make the game we want. If it's M, so be it. There's a certain tone we want to the game and mature situations. There's also going to be a realistic amount of blood. Nothing crazy, but enough to make it really feel like you just hit a guy with a sword. That may get us an M, it may not, I don't care. You didn't ask, but I know nudity is an issue with fans because it was in Daggerfall and such. That's something I wouldn't do even if we were allowed to. I think it distracts from the tone of the game. Maybe I'm still too immature (note from Pete: I can vouch that this is, in fact, the case), but when I see briasts in a movie, I still yell "Boobies!".

Where's my thread again, I think it fits right in with the argument "Developer's need to choose a style for their game." A yes, here it is if you want to have a read, the original post is only a starter, the actual talk is going on in the thread: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1200913-lets-have-a-toggle-on-everything/page__p__17883219__fromsearch__1#entry17883219

So basically, I don't want a toggle on the gore level, because we'll have to draw the line somewhere and having three different levels of gore means three times the work for developers.

It was just an example of a game from that era, that was remade today with the same exact mentality without care for media or political heat that did well for itself. I feel really old even though I am not mentioning that lol.

Also to fail boat, watch the video. . .

To Gorbad, what gives you that idea?

Last reply defending this, since I am TIRED of restating everyone's argument over and over again. Just this one new one now that is not really debatable and just something you need to take into consideration.

262 people wanted every bit of this suggestion.

78 People Agreed with the suggestion but disagreed with a few things, nameable the switch for the most part, a small percentage of that was people who wanted all the gore, but felt that a mass effect style nudity is fine.

84 people wanted no change at all.

Over 5,000 people have viewed this topic.

Soooooooo, Daggerfall wanted to come across as a game where you could get svcked off? sorry, but nudity in DF was incidental.


BUT did those people say yes to GORE or NUDITY

That poll doesn't really mean anything, because this is just- as agressor27 said- a "wouldn't it be cool if" thread.
