I can't think of a single RPG that depicts sex in a healthy way.

Arcanum has Madam Lil's, one of the finest "establishments" in Tarant.
In there you can get a kinky Half-elven girl, a young and inexperienced girl VERY eager to learn, a Half-orc dominatrix and a sadomasochistic girl who likes being tied up and punished. Also, you can convince another girl named Laura to prostitute herself in exchange for a medallion. She is an oldschool kind of prostitute, just likes it rough and "casual"...


Was Arcanum a porn game?

I can't think of a single RPG that depicts sex in a healthy way. It's never about two people in a committed relationship reproducing; it's either done for adolescent giggles or it's pornography for lonely people.

Violence, on the other hand, is usually depicted in a healthy way. It's shown as heroes stepping forth to rid the world of monsters and save the day. If we go with the idea that media influences human behaviour, this is actually behaviour that we want to promote and encourage.
Sakura Wars (2019) to some degree.

Very cheesy, almost Carry On-like in some respects, and as a negative it's Wapanese so there's a young potential date in there FAR too young for us Westoids.

But the game mocks perversion with it's Carry On-esq approach, in fact you fail the romances if you get too pervy, and the romance aspect is very sweet actually too. You hold hands, stare at the stars together, and most romances end with that first proper kiss but it's also built up to be a big deal so feels significant, and thus captures that feeling of being a young teen where purity still envelops you to some degree. Despite pervy laughs, overall the game as a whole definitely sends the message that it's better to be honourable and build a relationship with 1 person than be sleezy...

Could be argued it's a bit too romanticized, but you can't help coming away from the game with a sense of positivity. It's actually a very underrated game, completely forgettable and piss-easy combat, but a lot of laughs and just a very uplifting experience.

I think romance/relationships in RPGs would be better if it was gamified, ie the closer two characters get together, the better they fight together in battles, they can do "combined abilities" etc. So there's an in-game incentive to go through the romance text.

Than the minmaxers would be butthurt that they are being forced into having romances.

I like sex in my RPG, just do the in-out, in-out.

Just no gay LGBT shit, thanks.

I remember when Witcher 1 forced sexual cards on me. It was the only time I ever participated in such an act.
I have not complained, but a game would be OK anyways without them, I think.

Heresy and cuckoldry.

This attitude is why there's less and less sex in these Witcher games, and they become shite.

Even if there is less and less, In Witcher 3 there are 6 developed romances + numerous prostitutes in Novigrad and Touissant.

Speaking of Arcanum and Fallout, I find depiction of whoring out there while playing as a female at the very least realistic, given the environments in those games

Even for a few gecko pelts :lol:

It's still less and less.
I want to fuck more.

Like holy shit, I/Geralt fucked peasants, nuns and elves in W1, it was a great feeling.

sex havers.
lmao, only an incel writes like that
I agree, sex should be reserved for sex havers.
Only an incel deals in absolutes
Dudes, an AI chatbot has more personality than you two. You even write like you're running of a script.
Only a lonely incel would talk to and seek companionship from ai chatbots and have knowledge as to how they talk.

Bet you've already divulged some corporate/government secrets to an Iranian romance bot haven't you?

Incel is FBI talk.

In Persona 3/4 you can have sex with a girlfriend, and it is only implied (you partner asks if she can stay with you during the night, then the scene fades). Furthermore it happens only towards the end of the game, after you have built the relationship with a lot of activities during the playthrough.
In comparison, in BG3 I fucked Shadowheart the first time I rested in the camp, and I wasn't even looking for that. It didn't make any sense.

It's good if the girl actually acts embarass or have a sense of shame in sex and all that, it's hot and traditional since it means sex is a holy mating ritual/not something to do every day.
If the girls talk like American porno, you know it's 100% propaganda.

I wish there were more serious RPG porn devs.

That's all good as long as the sex scenes are all accessible in a gallery after you unlock them in the game.

I'm rarely in the mood to properly enjoy them while I'm actually playing a serious RPG, I have other stuff I'm thinking about.

I just realized that I've accidentally lied about the W1 cards being the only act. I've also managed to persuade Tandi from Fallout 1 to have a nice time with my character.

Next to zero money, then trigger an encounter with trappers.

Not easy to do since we like to have some at hands. So when we meet trappers we generally forgot to drop money onto a container nearby~
