The return of the fluffer?

Post » Sun May 05, 2013 1:58 am

Right.... something tells me when comparing the pros from Fo3 to NV, that beth just does not have the balls for something like this.

In fo3 they are as tame as can get, they may as well have the title of bed warmer.. for all I know thats their job.

At least in NV they look and act the part. I think thats as good as it'll get to be honest.

I know some people may not agree with this but I think bethesda has went a little mainstream over the years just saying.

Having Fisto was enough of a sixual encounter for me.

If there was an option to be a prosttute would I try it? Uhhhhh CHEA. I would do it for the shear reason of curiosity alone.

Sad but true

Of course the jump in graphics probably has alot to do with it from FO 1&2 and FO3/NV. The isometric FO's had alot more of a disconnection between reality than the later FPS FO's.

I'd be ok with becoming a prosttute in FO4, as long as the screen went black and you just heard some moaning like when you had six in NV.

I think even Vegas could have been darker than it was.

With Bethesda at the helm I doubt we'll see much mature themes accurately portrayed for the setting.

IIRC they had some pretty gory concept art for Skyrim yet in the game I couldn't find anything that portrayed it.

I did on the other hand find a necrophile who was doing... Stuff.. But that was tucked away carefully in a cave.

So I wouldn't hold my breath for more mature themes in Fallout 4, they are going to be very tame again.

It is partly the times we live in ( media outcry on such) and partly to widen the market base ( some would not be able to deal with the dark stuff). All fallout games have 18/ M ratings the same as porm, horror or very violent films but like most games stick to what you would find in a 15 ( not sure what it is in the states) this could be the player is 'doing' these acts or that game makers get a lot more flack than film makers do but that is unfair games are just a form of entertainment like any other.

Quite a bit of hypocrisy in it, really. It's ok to sell drugs, mass murder, steal, murder for money, but legal professions like prostitution or pormography is bad?

Ye but it could be a simple oversight they couldn't see a need for them or wanted to escape the moral gray areas they exist in. If say the angular had offered you a job as a prosttute would that be a bad or good act and how would it affect you moving on with the main quest? If they had lots of sixual encounters been possible would you run the risk of dieses or pregnancies and what effect would that have, if they put it in most people would demand an out come and get peeved if it was just some cop out

I also see it as something that has been changed for a reason both to increase market share and because the video game industry gets much more outside attention than it used to. The more successful an industry the more it becomes a social topic and political issue and bad publicity can have a number of side effects including sales, stress and also importantly it can distract from core elements. Having said that, I understand why certain content hasn't gotten put in and I can live with it. I would prefer we were presented with the most true representation of humanity but there are tactful ways to go about doing that without scrapping the whole bit.

Could be darker, but then... how would it sell as much? Nope, expect the same level. Wasteland 2 is where you want to be looking, they don't need to be held accountable to a publisher (just the players). Expect a much more interesting story and side quests because of this.

I would like to see the Fallout games take on a darker tone and not simply use it as an excuse to add boobs el o el ect. But I don't think many developers can handle this with tact. Especially not Bethesda, one of their greatest weaknesses is their writing. I just don't feel they are a good match for that subject matter.

I think you could have it easily.

People talk about how you could have hardcoe six and be a fluffer in the original Fallouts, and how that makes them so much more progressive than the new ones, but there is no difference in the depiction of six between those first two games and the six in the newer Fallouts.

In the first two fallout's they never actually showed you having six with anyone or "fluffing" anyone. The screen just went black and you woke up next to your partner and/or got some cash. they never actually showed the act of consummation. Exactly the same as the newer Fallouts. That's one thing I just don't get when people bring up about how the originals were so much more "free" with the sixuality. They weren't, the screen went black and you woke up next to the person you were implied to have six with in every Fallout, from 1 to New Vegas. There was no hardcoe six scene with the talking heads in the original Fallouts, just like there is no hardcoe six scene between the polygonal characters in the new ones. There is absolutely no difference in the depiction of six between ANY of the Fallout games.

Just because in fallout 2 you could svck dike for money, it doesnt mean that the new Fallout's are somehow less sixual. In fact, New Vegas is more "racy" with the six than any other fallout before it, what with the scantily clad hokers propositioning you at every corner in that game. In the originals I don't ever remember you being propositioned by people for paid six. In the originals the only characters you could have six with were certain were set piece characters (again with nothing shown, only implied), or you could "fluff"and/or have six with a "pormstar" (again with only implications) you never actually saw because there was no actual scene of you svcking a dike.

sorry, but having the perk "porm star" in a game doesn't make it more free in the sixuality department than its successors, just because the new ones don't give you the ability to have that title. (I know that in the older titles if you are a porm star then drugs cost more and you might not be able have six with some people, but none of that actually changes how the game is played.)

This idea may be crazy, but maybe, just maybe the developers of the new games thought that giving you the title of "porm Star" doesn't actually add anything of substance to the game (since becoming a porm star was SO integral to the plot of fallout 2 :rolleyes:). If you think that becoming a porm star is so integral to the progression/personality of your character then there are plenty of websites I can point you to that do just that (you have to PM me, though, because they are all NSFW). Being a porm star in Fallout 2 was one of the most pointless and throwaway things in that game. The only thing it did was change your ability to (not) have six with certain characters. but since it didn't exist in 3 it has become a tent-pole argument for how 3 ruined everything that is fallout. Sorry, but svcking and [censored] is not what makes fallout, fallout.

I don't think there's any chance of us [censored] ourselves out or killing kids in a new Fallout. There'd be far too much anger from people that don't play/understand video games and parents that don't want to monitor what their kids are playing.
