Seriously, I'm beginning to wonder about Troika. Stuff like this and the brothels in their two previous games makes me question their maturity.

Other than the chick bouncing around in the strip club half-nekiid, I really didn't notice too much off the wall in this one. Really, though, you'd kind of expect to see half nekkid chicks in a nudie bar, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

In Fallout Enforcer, that kind of thing was way out of place. You have a dominatrix out in the middle of a firefight with nothing but a leather thong and a leather bra protecting her - and she's a BOSS, which can take lots of damage. That doesn't fit Fallout's 1950s style setting, nor does it even make any sense for a post apocalyptic game.

However, having a stripper/exotic dancer in such a club just dancing does kind of make sense.

Yeah its all about context - if Tim "Mr Fallout" Cain is involved its not soft core porn, its like CRPG "art" and "storytelling"... or somethink :twisted:

I never said it wasn't soft core porn. I did say that it wasn't exactly out of place with the setting and situation.

Other than the mainly FPS type combat (which I loath) the game does sound like it has potential. We shall see.

As for the mass of boobies big whoop. How can the perverts on this site wine about that. I do find it funny the same people who whine about Aribeth's boobies are now supporting these boobies. Can't boobies get along no matter who develops them? Geez..

In the end, I hope the combat isn't gonna be as crappy as I feel it will be. Again, we shall see..

True, but you might question the need of a strip club in the first place.

Setting.
L.A., White Wolf, Vampires -> strip clubs.

Sort of a package deal when you think about it. Wouldn't be proper otherwise.
Just be thankful it isn't an Ann Rice deal.

Well, there's one thing about strip club boobies and another about a large beasted, Elven paladin wearing what is basically a metal corset. I never pictured Elves as the big breast type, I also never really pictured paladins in metal corsets, so it always seemed rather odd. I just don't picture paladins as the LOOK AT MY BOOBIES kind of people. However, if the cleavage platemail is just a minor footnote, though a funny one, in the whole stupidity that is Aribeth.

Truthfully, I was more annoyed with the way things animated than I was with the lack of clothing on the stripper. The one bit where people were dancing looked really crappy.

You need to get a better picture of elven maidens then. Like humans, their boobie size varies from one another.

As for the whole armour thing, well, true it's not realistic; but it's not like BIo is guilty of that. All fantasy games - including Troika's - are guilty of that. It's called getting the horny to buy your games. And, if the boobies don't intervere with the game too much, i won't whine about it.

You don't reckon there'll be jiggly boob boss monsters in Bloodlines?

That little interlude sounded kind of neat. However, one things scares me. Its seems that it might have been a little too easy to talk past the Gargoyle, then fight him. I hope it was just as difficult to find information to talk past the gargoyle as fighting him.

In the trailer, Jeanette's boobies jiggle really really real. Real nice physics, not the cheap stuff they used for NWN's. That's why I'll support boobies in Bloodlines and not in NWN or anything like that.

Well, I think of elves as being slender, spindly things, which basically means an A or B cup. Aribeth doesn't look like an elf at all to me, she looks human with pointed ears.

Well, like I said, I just don't picture paladins wearing chainmail bikinis and other armored lingerie. Fighters, sure.. Clerics, perhaps depending on their alignment and diety. Barbarians, definitely.. Rangers, perhaps. Paladins? Nope.

I'm always pro boob, unless that boob is Volourn or other Biowhore fanboy...

Good man, because fake boobies are fascist and wrong. Seriously. Don't settle for that imitation meat, if you no what I mean. Not to mention, if skinemax has taught me anything, its that fake boobies just don't look that good either, all surgical and shit.
