Please tell me it isn't just me..

Please tell me it isn't just me. But, isn't it a little insulting the way every female character in the game is being turned into some kind of perverted sexy slave? Or "companion" as people call them.. I mean, I've seen thousands of mods with the sole purpose of giving them women or revealing armor, or even just making other characters sexy and appear in thongs.

 

It's a little insulting the way it seems that, while males are perfectly capable in war and wearing full-body armor, females immediately have to be a love interest with big boobs. Why can't people just play the game without unloading hormones on all the females within it? Female characters in oblivion seem to have their dignity stripped away. D:>

 

And how much protection can you REALLY get in a thong?!

Honestly! I don't think they made thongs back then!! Or fishnets! I mean, really, I don't mind those clothes in real life, but it's a video game, guys.. Not a porn mag. :/

 

If you feel that I'm being unreasonable, please tell me. I just want to know if anyone agrees. And please don't check me off as a chick on her period, 'cause the first one to say it gets stabbed in the mouth. In real life. And I'm not kidding. I'll come over there and bring Umbra with me, and I won't be wearing any boob-friendly armor, either. ;/

Menopause? :P

Seriously though, you shouldn't be threatening people like that.

 

As for your rant, get over it. The gaming community is almost completely populated by males ages 16-20, and males ages 16-20 like women with revealing armour. There's no denying that. So, if males ages 16-20 are the main players of the game and like nude/mostly nude women, then it's no surprise that a large portion of the mods released feature nude/mostly nude women. That would be like taking a job as a plumber and being surprised that most of your jobs will involve toilets. You need to suck it up and accept the fact that video games are and always will be the domain of immature men.

Too young for menopause.

And, as is obvious, it wasn't serious. ;/

 

Aye, but I'm simply wondering if anyone agrees or is simply sitting in front of the computer mumbling "Oh, no nudes in this thread? *scampers off*"

 

Argh. I understand that it's the majority, and for a while I've hardly said a thing but decided to see if anyone else might feel the same. It's maddening to see that women are treated more like eye candy in most video games, and are basically used as ditzy girls good to look at. I mean, how much enjoyment can you get from pixels? No matter how realistic the mod is, it's still just pixels.

I agree that the majority of gamers are probably men, but don't agree with the age assessment. I happen to be 45 yrs. old and all of my friends who are all avid gamers are all 30 or above. I enjoy the mods just because I think the female body is beautiful and the fact that most guys would rather play females and use this armor should be flattering to women but some women just don't see it that way " sigh" I guess if their were more women modders they would probably make hot guy armor but thats just speculation on my part. :)

It's flattering, but you have to admit, more men are into the sexy what-she-could-do-with-that-body-*hint-hint* idea rather than the beautiful aspect.. It's kind of shallow in many cases. If only there were more women modders, it could make it all equal and even out itself. But, few enough girls play, let alone mod.

Hey im 30, and i have to agree with what arcturus62 said.

If you think the mods are shallow or insulting, a simple little thing you can do, dont download the mod.

Like it or not sex sales in almost anything you can put a sexy women on it.

i think it is a little dodgy, when i do searches on the best and most popular mods, i want to see useful stuff like good interface improvements, but on a few searches, there have been more than a couple of spots taken up by better bodies (on females) type mods.

While i may be a 23 year old bi-guy, i don't download the female companions for eye-candy,though the Mystic Elves in that catsuit mod screenshot were very attractive.

 

If they have a talent that i find useful, then i download them. However, it is rare that i download companions, as they don't know how to dodge Fortress and Ruin traps at all.

 

But about the revealing armour, women in real life did not wear heavy armours to battle, as it slows them down.

 

Even the Trung Sisters in Vietnam centuries upon centuries ago wore 2-piece battle armours, as did Queen Boudicea of the Iceni, a tribe i am 'supposedly' descended from didn't wear heavy armor.

 

The only woman that i know of who wore a man's set of armour into battle was Janne d'Arc.

 

Women generally have smaller frames then men, thus they cannot move as well in heavy armour. Light-armour/2-Pieces = Agility.

True enough, as much as I like the body mods what I don't like about them is when you mod the bodies every woman in the game has this perfect big boobed body. It would be better if there was a diverse range of body types , fat , skinny. etc. that would make it more like real life and help with the immersion of the game. :happy:

I agree with everything here except for 1) that the big boobed bodies aren't perfect, and 2) the body mods dont really float my boat.
