Back when NWN2 and MotB were fresh, I was curious about the mods. For god knows what reason, I decided to download a whole collection of nude mods for the campaigns.

I wanted to see it was like to have a stark bollocks naked party of adventurers, and how silly it would look to see butt naked men and women of several fantasy races ninja their way to victory.

I regretted that very quickly. God, those were some ugly mods. Was nauseating to see how crudely drawn all the...genitalia and body shapes were. Worse, it felt like you took some dolls, ripped the clothes of the dolls, made dirty drawings over them, and started playing with them.

After the 10 minutes I spent playing that damn thing, I uninstalled those mods, vowing to never do it again. Hard to get over the feeling that I was nearly as much of a loser as those modders were.

:/ I really don't get the point of naked models , even if they are super HQ well done. Because i don't want to get aroused while playing , not that i would find those models arousing , but they would make me think about certain things.

I was just going to delete this topic, as I often do, but now you responded.

I don't get the point either. Sorry.

I downloaded a nude mod and clothes mod for Fallout New Vegas because it made the faces look better.

While I don't get the purpose of the nude mods, there is a bigger mystery here: Why does this thread exists?

I also watch porn for the plot.

But seriously, the sense behind a nude mod escapes me.

I guess it's got to do with the illusion of having control over scantily clad/nude women, thus fulfilling sexual desires.

I'd say it's more cause they want hardcore sex in their rpgs (because that's what rpgs are according to Bioware) but lack the skills to program anything beyond nudity.

There's nothing wrong with romance, nudity, rape or killing children in videogames. It's just how things are implemented in the game. If the game (or in some cases the countless battles) becomes an excuse for a dating sim, then it will suck big time. But if it's just another component of the game, I'm cool with it.

Some games, like Fallout 3, are pointless to play without those.

Okay, they are pointless to play either way, but at least they evoke a chuckle or two when enhanced.

They existed, because they can. So, what you propose, back to moral censorship? Also, if one while doing nude mod, learn something about game modding at all, that is always a good thing (raising computer literacy).

Ps. And really, main rule of porn, interactive porn is always better than non-interactive porn...

Ps2. Porn is one of the first art exploited new forms of technology. First sculpture ever? Some stone age big tits and vagina’s. One of first photograph's? Some of nude ladies. Some of first microscope images? Sperm. One of first films? Porn. Some of first ascii main frame art? Nude printed ascii chicks. First Oblivion mods? You may guess...

Thanks for fixing my post, but actually you went only halfway:

I guess it's got to do with the illusion of living as a voluptuous doll, thus fulfilling his basement-dweller desires.

Only game that I did anything like this with was NWN2 since I wanted to convert the denizens of Sword Coast from Taliban lookalikes to classic Sword&Sorcery style. So I installed the Eternal Summer and Sexy OC mods, though without the facial "upgrade" as that actually made the faces more awful. But at least the burqas were replaced by minidresses and so on.

TBH I have nothing against nudity in games, so I also have nothing in principle against nude mods.

I actually consider judeochristian views on the subject that are so deeply ingrained in vestern civilization to just not be terribly healthy.

That said, porn in general tends to be just fucking crude, and your typical nude mods not only single-mindedly focused on sexuality, but also just embarrassingly bad - not suited for my :obviously: standards.

I actually think it's also a side effect of this judeochristian baggage and failure to discard it even when making porn - obsession is an obsession, regardless whether it makes you selectively and conspicuously omit or focus on its object.

If you were making a game somewhat inspired by ancient greek mythology and culture, you'd pretty much have to include stuff like heroic nudity and some swinging dicks, but I don't think this would invalidate such game as a potentially interesting thing, but get an indie team to make such a game and it will make a fucking Parhedros.
:decline:

Also, DAT ASS.

Yes, of course. Standards of quality is one thing, other is general idea. That is why, I “support” any porn-pro activity, in the hope of de-stone that christian “morality”, slaved human personality into flash, bodies, boobs. More porn, more freedom of thoughts. “Free Porn for everyone”. Erm... But actually, why not.

Playboy has always been known for the excellent articles it publishes, so that's a joke only ignorant people attempt to make.
