As previous comments stated nudity can and may i say will definately be modded in but my point is will it not be easier to pull a Sabetour and include a code to put in and an option to turn it on and off. And also as some have said about nudity in a game with children 1. I highly doubt a naked NPC will walts over to a 10 year old unless programmed too and 2. Won't more people buy it for systems instead of on steam since aprx. 80% of mods are nude mods i mean look at oblivion (there is a shemale mod) and finally 3.. I highly doubt bethesda gets there kicks off of players seing the elderly, unless you lockpick the front dorr at 1 in the morning. so i say YAY!

that's fine saying the modding community can do it better, but what about people that play xbox who want to have the chance to add some realism to their game? there should be privacy settings i think.

Nay, because they should put that time into other things and let modders do it, who are generally gonna be better at it. :thumbsup:

 

And besides that, also little kids can play it

then.

 

Altho that is always kinda funny:

Being to able to brutally murder people and creatures, while not being allowed to see a naked woman at the same time.

 

:facepalm:

Would rather for it to be in The Creation Kit so it would be easier for the modders. Vanilla Game, ahem, no, I would rather not have "God Howard" as many call him jokingly become " Perverted Demon Howard." I mean seriously for the perverts out there that would be 95% of their gameplay. Ahem "Playing with there desires". Then again freakin lulsec and anonymous could get there consoles to a Dev-console putiing the Creation Kit on there as Bethsoft has the ability to and there goes the media, Would rather not Fox News be breathing Fiery Hatred and annoyance upon Bethsoft to the world. We already know what happened with the nudity that was supposedly in-game that only modders and such had access to. I mean only reason the Media puts it out there is for attention and money. So, as many said no. Let us modders do it.

No vote... as long as the undies don't look horrid, it's all good. It would look really, really odd for folks to be tooling around in boxers and undershirts in a fantasy setting. IMO something minimalist but not ridiculous works just fine. Comparing the setting of TES to real-world norms in the medieval period isn't necessarily accurate, either; the degree of modesty offered by underwear is deeply connected with cultural norms, and the TES setting a a lot more *ahem* permissive than Earth of the same tech level. There's no more reason to show everyone in bloomers than there is to have them all wearing thongs.

 

Which is all a long-winded way of saying I'm perfectly happy with some manner of loincloth or bikini, for men and women.

 

IMO the argument against nudity from the standpoint of "kids might inadvertently see it" is rather silly. It isn't the developer's job to keep your little'uns from seeing things you don't want them seeing. Ignoring the whole argument that seeing nudity somehow damages kids (which I disagree with, having been raised around nudity myself), it doesn't make sense to impose restrictions on the majority of the game's target audience based on the old "we must protect the children" line of thinking. Most of the people who will buy and play this game, statistically, are single adults in their late teens to mid twenties... and most folks who fit that description don't have kids running around. No offense or anything, but using kids as a justification for censorship in games only serves to reinforce the idiotic popular notion that all games are somehow for kids.

 

I consider a "enable/disable underwear" button in the options menu to be an entirely reasonable and appropriate solution to the nudity conundrum.

Basically, this.

 

Nudity is natural. But today it's a kind of "sin".

But when it comes to RPG's it would distract, so a on/off button (like in The Saboteur) is nice.

And yes, I don't think 10 year olds will play Skyrim, and if they will then it's the parents fault, and the gore is far more aggressive then nudity.

Well, today you can play a game where cutting someones head of and spilling their guts is ok, but a naked man/woman is wrong in every possible way? Please, learn to understand life people!

nudity is natural and isn't sinful. There is a difference between growing up understanding nudity and making something sexual. Just nudity in the pure aspect is fine but i wouldn't let my children watch a porno or something. Skyrim should have a adult rating on it, so with that rating i think they can get away with adding option to toggle on and off with (nudity).

The Saboteur had age rating at Mature, and still had upper body nudity, with on/off button.

While on the other side, The Witcher 2 has an Adult rating while it has some really heavy sexual scenes with almost full body nudity.

 

Besides, I don't care if vanilla Skyrim will have nudity, because modders will add that in 1-2 weeks.

I vote nay. I'd rather see "better" underwear than pixelated naughty bits. Though I wouldn't mind a nude mesh like Iv000 said, nudity will come, plus those meshes help modders to create new content.
