Do you use the Type3 body/armor replacer?

Yes. Also use Breeze's male body replacer.

yeah, because i like the sixy looking females (read: the hourglass figure, i prefer everyone to wear normal clothes), and i hate it that the underwear is stuck on the body (so i also use male body replacers) but i get kinda tired of all the extremely good looking npc's in F3/NV, i wish somebody did a mod combining all different types of body replacers, applying different ones to different people in a realistic way (so most of the people would have a normal body, some of them less than it, and others good looking)

I prefer the default body. The whole "Magic Undies" thing doesnt bother me, and I have no interest in bikini "armor". If armor isn't practical, then I do not touch it. (Unless that bikini has a shield generator tucked in there)

No, never saw the neccessity for using a body replacer :shrug:

Vanilla is fine, imho.
Also magical underwear never bothered me.
Thinking about this, I find Type 3 bodies requiring more suspension of disbelief than the magical underwear.

Yep. But I use the alice style body. That along with the basic armor sets that change the super-bulk square body type to something more feminine. OMG I can see hips! Where there were no hips before.

Just started playing Fallout New Vegas and one of the very first things I noticed was how ugly the hand looked in first person view when holding a gun. Looks more like a ten year old FPS than anything else. And that has been the case since at least Morrowind - the characters look worse than the surroundings. So using body replacers etc. is actually highest on my list when it comes to fixing stuff with mods, right after DarN's UI. It's a question of "immersion" more than anything else as the vanilla graphics basically are "immersion breaking" IMO.

This is true of every body mod for the ladies of the Fallout Universe that I've ever seen. I mean, I have poor sight, but I don't need models to have hippos where hips should be in order to perceive femininity, they tend to have all the tact and subtlety of a train wreck. On fire. Being salvaged by little green men in flying saucers, using tractor beams.

I'd love a body that sticks to the vanilla type, to the be honest, but does it in a more detailed away. The vanilla bodies look more like real world people. In the real world, not every lady you'll meet has a perfect hourglass figure, and not every bloke you'll encounter will be a body builder (with an incredibly hairy chest, in some instances), and perfectly toned. The vanilla bodies are more 'average', they look like they've had wear and tear, they look like they're used to hard work more than exercise. They look more like what you'd expect to find in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

To be honest, seeing a wasteland filled with supermodels would make me want to gouge my eyes out. :P So I can understand how it's immersion-shattering for you, I really can. If body replacers did 'perfectly average', I'd be all for them. But they don't, instead, we have Herculean and Seductress, pretty much, depending on gender. If anyone's aware of one that has slipped past my view though that does fit into 'average' as I've described, then let me know and I'll give it a shot!

And you think that the type3 body is an improvement?

If type3 was a well done body mod than ...well i probably still wouldn't use it because it's ridiculously skinny, but i would at least understand why it's so popular. It's not though, it's a poorly made (again, noodle arms), disproportionate, anatomically incorrect body. Why such a flawed body mod became so popular I don't understand. My guess would be that it had the biggest, perkiest, fake looking jugs and the most rounded ass.

That's depressingly misogynistic though, isn't it? Must we objectify everything? Must something representing a believable world fit our sixual fantasies? (Or should it fit the world itself instead, our sixual fantasies be damned?) Are you just playing a game so you can get off to some low-poly models in the game? Do you feel New Vegas is a good and proper outlet for sixual frustrations and/or fantasies?

No wonder gamers have a bad public image...

I find it rather unattractive but I don't expect people who are spending all day trying to figure out how to make a "bloatfly slider" to. It seems rather realistic to me, or atleast more realistic than vanilla.

Type 3 is a twig. I'm trying it right now to get my fill of the outfits. Then I'll go back to Skim's.

Type 3 is like a necessary evil, for the outfits. And now almost all modders are on the bandwagon, whether it was their body of choice or not.

Sad thing, is that I heard Dimmon had a more muscular version in the works. Too bad that didn't get released.
