    People are going to RP weirdos no matter if nudity is in or not. Game society is nothing like real society. Afterall normal people tend to play games just so they can escape their boring lives so who are we to tell someone they can't RP some buffalo bill crossdresser as its already ingame anyway. Like I said it's an escape and the beauty in it is that people don't have to adhere to societal norms or have any regard for others comfort zones. All you need is to understand how the mechanics work as far as who populates your world. If they are too Pervy, report or block them they will be there either way. And as I said, turn it off if you don't like it. There are so many ways to avoid all this I don't see why anyone would oppose it when it's avoidable. I don't try to control anyone else's playstyle it's a bit big brother in this convo.

    This convo will never go anywhere cause people cling too tightly to their assumptions no matter how baseless, it seems very one sided as those who wish to control others gameplay don't take the time to see that those that desire this are just as offended by judgemental assumption theorists as they would be with some perceived insult that may never come and can be avoided


    Again, someone explain how there is something so offensive about a feature you choose to parcipate or not participate in.

    It's clear they just look down their beautiful noses at others who don't share their opinion based of nothing but presumptive guilt and insecurity

    You guys just keep dodging the question as to why you are against something that u can avoid other than just trying to claim some non existent moral high ground.

    Just because YOU don't think it's worthwhile doesn't mean jack squat because I don't get what I want either so why should I cave on what I want to someone who has no argument other than "I don't want you to offend my sensibilities even tho I can choose to be offended by something that hasn't happen and may never but instead choose to try to impose my moral righteousness upon someone I can completely avoid" that's like a cop saying I shot him because he looked guilty"

    More simple from a man's perspective. I worked with a guy back in the day, a prominent New Orleanian. He had a saying (not that there's anything right with it):

    "Men are pigs.
    Sex is for men.
    Meet my needs."

    Note that I am just quoting an historical figure and in no way am I endorsing such pigfilthery.:eek:

    What legal issues? Nudity is not illegal in a game not does it ruin it. Is God of war ringing a bell? How do I says ménage a trious or whatever a threesome is. Where u actually participated in the debauchery with your controller to complete a "climax quest" ever heard of leisure suit Larry? I find it hard to see any kernel of legitimacy in your statement due to the fact I can point out half a dozen recent games here the controversy helped it become on of the best sellers of all time. IE grand theft auto

    The only time I see bad press hurt a game is when the game sucks donkey

    Comparing single player offline games to make a point in regards to a large scale multiplayer game isn't a fair comparison.. and you might stop to consider that the legal issues might involve interactions between players such as the soliciting of minors perhaps.

    Not that it matters because this decision as ended long ago. But I am glad there is not going to be full support for this stuff. It just makes the game feel better to me. There is still going to people doing what they do, but at least it won't be game defining.

    Devs did commit to mod tools in the KS did they not? So everyone just needs to wait for them and you can play whatever game you want after that.

    No thank you. I am able to, with a clear conscience, play this game as a Christian and very much enjoy it because it does NOT contain such things. Please don't take that away from me.

    Actually it's not much more multiplayer than other games with online capabilities. Regardless if it's farcry with a handful of players or this hybrid with a few hundred the same premise still applies. It's no more illegal or less just because the number of players. And how would even know he's soliciting a minor. There is a rating and age restriction along with no reason to divulge ones age.

    People also lie as well it's up to each individual to tell the truth. I don't see your logic that somehow larger scale online games provoke pedophiles or something.

    There is no higher chance of solicitation than anywhere else. I'd argue it's lower than a lot of venues.

    And why in the world would you think a game with nudity provokes some sort of nefarious tendencies. You guys are just going overboard grasping at strAws.
    There are also porno mmos that are perfectly legal and have had no such issues that you mention. Obviously there would be a tos or some kind of cover your arse clause for the company. I really don't understand your logic. You seem to have such little faith in humanity like humans left to their own devices will turn into some kind of hedonistic orgy and sexual assault.

    How is it not As fair comparison? What makes it any worse just because the volume of players

    Hey look at age of conan. Had nudity. Last I checked before they toned it down it didn't incite any kind of gross conduct. Grand theft auto had multiplayer nearly every game does now. Rember duke nukem on the pc?

    I believe if your highly unlikely scenario did happen the developer would be no more responsible than some gun store owner that sells a gun that later was used in a crime

    There's a little thing called personal accountability. The only responsibility the devs have is to implement it tastefully not act as vice cops.
    How can you even solicit a minor online when most everyone lies constantly in video gaming

    It seems you are the one that is trying to suspend belief to validate a point like fitting a round peg in a square hole. You have no justification to validate your speculative claims. I on the other hand give ppl the benefit of the doubt that they aren't all deviant sexual misfits just waiting for a game with nudity to make their nefarious moves on a character that may or may not be underage or even the gender portrayed

    There is also single player and friends mode in this game so it is just as much single player with multiplayer functionality as are any number of games

    You keep moving the goalposts to make claims that are unjustified. Where is any evidence that isn't speculative.

    Your statement seems so impractical that it would be like being an Ice cream man that gets arrested because he sells ice cream to kids during the summer

    Last I checked explicit details weren't given and there was no interactive features. There weren't any pictures either.

    Really people.. this conversation is SO last year.. literally. Let the poor thread rest in peace already.

    Not only did they not commit, but I think Starr later said it would be really hard to add unfortunately.

    Who said nudity was explicit. A history lesson would do you some good as well as psychology. And yeah the bible has interactive features. Its called life

    That's a stretch.

    Put it in context of this thread.. there's a huge difference between saying "oh btw and they were naked" and interactive "adult" content in a game. There is no comparison to be made there. Oh.. and btw they were ashamed about it after the fact. All of which might be considered moot since this stuff isn't going into the game.

    i don't have the sexual hangups most western society tends to have.
    i'm not offended by suggestive material. - if i am not in a 'mood' to experience it, i stop paying attention to it.
    i'm not offended by graphically violent material - mostly because i have been immersed in it BY western society. in a lot of ways i wish i WAS offended by it.
    life, entertainment, death, everything really, is based on conflict to one level or another.

    however - many very loud people with very closed minds tend to have a different viewpoint, and enough of them together can sway, or keep, public opinion at a certain spot, no matter how ass-backwards it may seem, to me.

    for that reason, along side the fact that i want Port to prosper with this game, makes me NOT want this to be available at release.


    seriously folks - a lot of prudes have a lot of money. i'm sure they too are a demographic Port can cater too without screwing everyone over. if you really want it, go play second life.
