ZedicusZ Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Why is it that over half the mods on Oblivion are perverted mods featuring lacy girl clothing and "sexy" hairs/clothing/bodies ? Where are the MEN on Oblivion?Come on I play Oblivion to see blood splatting and limbs flying, not to see "sexy women with lacy panties". Does anyone agree with me? :wallbash:Personally, I play Oblivion to see sexy women with lacy panties get into blood-splattering, limb-flying fights. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhondidfool Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Personally, I play Oblivion to see sexy women with lacy panties get into blood-splattering, limb-flying fights. thumbsup.gifBingo!Though I think this things may exist, I also think they should be correctly implemented in the game universe, so we don't have old beggars in micro-skirts >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsuneshoujo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 To the OP: What you seem to be misunderstanding with Oblivion is that its not really a hack and slash game. Sure it has that facet to it. It has all the wonderful RPG elements you know and love. But its not Baldurs Gate or any of the DnD games for comps... So what is it? Well to answer that we have to examine a few things. 1. Who plays it? The common knowledge says that mainly guys play video games with girls being the oddball when they do play. Or they get the tired and annoying maxim that they are really GIRLs (guys in real life), unless the prove it with youtube or pictures or something. And there by opening up the giant Pandora's Box of Worms (hmm theres a mod idea xD ) and have to endure the endless stream of pathetic pickup lines and whatever other indignities the basement mouthbreathers can come up with... this of course does not mean that all guys are like that. Anyway, I got side-tracked... sorry.So, we have the target audience of the game. 2. Its unfortunately single player (game would be awesome if it was multiplayer). So that means that the guys dont have to worry about loosing their "man-cards" if their sexually insecure friends see them playing a girl. Side-topic: whoever thought up the expression man-card should be shot. >.< 3. Oblivion is pretty much the giant sandbox that modders love. Just about everything can be altered or rescripted. I wouldnt be surprised if you could remake the entire game. Also the fact that theres no multiplayer means that you dont have to worry about whiney brats screaming about class imbalance and complaining about cheaters. 4. With a little work, the character models for the characters can be down right sexy... yeah yeah I know, they are just pixels... hate to break it to you, but that picture of your favourite model? That's pixels too. Dont believe me? Zoom in really far. Alright now that we have examined the points, lets add them together. Mostly Male-based population of gamers + single-player only + heavily mod-able + potentially sexy PC's = a very high-tech version of playing with dolls. *hides* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a male and female character though, so meh, who cares. Really doesn't everyone play games for there own reason? Some people might play Oblivion to slash down enemies and stuff. Some might play it to have a role-playing type life, like waking up in your house in Chorrol eating breakfast, going out for a walk around town, coming home at night eating dinner and going to sleep (etc etc etc), people might play it to be "Medieval Whores" and show off there nice pixelated body to pixelated npcs. And endless other possibilities. So really, doesn't everyone play games for there own reason, there shouldn't be just one way to play a game.

I tend to go light on the gore though, and I love the game because I can tailor it to my taste to the Nth degree. Remember the other day when someone asked for a savegame download? The reason you don't see that in Oblivion much is because everybody's game is completely different than anyone else's. MMO would KILL that.

kitsuneshoujo Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Good job! Put them in their places. lol I agree though that an mmo would kill the sandbox/dressup-ability of the game... but if they could include some sort of lan-type thingy like Diablo games had, or the persistent world ability of NWN series that would be really neat I think. But no on the mmo part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowace Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Woo, I'm tired, but who says girls don't play games? I can name plenty of girls that play games, more then I can name guys that do. For one, my ex...fiance!!! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_Lord_1 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well im not gonna try to rant here about fake women but... 1. there is such a thing as Fake Web-Cams that you can easily do with a webcam program and a video recording of a woman 2. Pictures can be easily copy'ed and saved from the web aka google search my photos The only way to show in my book online that you are infact a Female is to wave to me on cam and pass my huge test of waveing,talking,ETC OR you could jsut talk to me on mic... and say some things i want you to say... but then you got the voice changers... But either way i could care less what gender you are / were cause the internet aint made for datin its made for Buissness,Fun,And friends! (alot like porn...) and oblivion is just one of those fun things But anyways this has gone way off topic i do declare from hack n slaash talkin to Gender- Slander and uhm ya... way off topic stuff... BTW i always do the whole roleplay thing i get up i eat i go to the store buy some food and drink and take it back home then i go out for a day of adventureing and when my character is tired and hungry i eat and go to sleep... AND REPEAT! yep its real fun.... (god im off topic...) :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrmaad Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 oh for pete's sake. Well im not gonna try to rant here about fake women but... ... Fake Web-Cams ... Pictures The only way to show in my book online that you are infact a Female is to wave to me on cam and pass my huge test of waveing,talking,ETC OR you could jsut talk to me on mic... and say some things i want you to say... but then you got the voice changers... BUT it's galling to be accused of not being a woman when you are. To the above it occurs to me I could take a photo with TWC in the background or even this thread on my computer holding a sign that says "FU Raven Lord 1".. no more disrespect aimed at you than at me. You obviously didn't check out MY youtube, it's just a video documentation of a middle aged woman who clearly loves gaming (and her husband)! But anyway it's all just miscellaneous with nothing to prove, and that's how it proves it: the woman cliff jumping in Jamaica who gets her nerve up to jump by calling on her inner "Lara Croft", the half-azzed attempts to show game glitches with an old camera that catches audio and images of the interaction between "the Gamer" and her husband.. somewhat embarrassing intimate little vids that aren't interesting to the masses. BTW i always do the whole roleplay thing i get up i eat i go to the store buy some food and drink and take it back home then i go out for a day of adventureing and when my character is tired and hungry i eat and go to sleep... AND REPEAT! yep its real fun.... (god im off topic...) :wallbash: Yup I'd rather be playing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
