I don't like porn. I'd like it to not be in my video games. I try to avoid it.
As an example: if a developer put in a Dryad or Nymph
* and they were fully in the buff
without any intervening scenery to obscure the juiciest bits, you'd find that tasteless? There ARE monsters that forego donning apparel and some of them are humanoid...perhaps even attractive by human standards. Furthermore, nudity can be a tool instead of naked (i.e., blatant) titillation: the absence of clothing can sometimes indicate ignorance of/differing social mores or a comparatively alien mind.
* Depending on the edition, I hope the PCs pass their saving throw!I don't particularly enjoy nudity in art. I don't enjoy it in video games either. Shoot. The harpies are a bit too naked for my taste. I'm not saying that they should change the harpies. They're appropriate for D&D and such. I'm just not the kind of person that enjoys that kind of stuff. Don't need it. If it's there, I try to ignore it and not pay attention to it.
So far, Larian's done rather well, thankfully, in the "IN YOUR FACE NUDITY" department. I very much appreciate it. I might have to not play the game anymore if they go over the top and start having naked statues everywhere, or something of that nature. I'm personally afraid of that. I really want to complete the game, but if they start throwing up nasty stuff all over the place, I'll just have to let my addiction go.
That would be a HUGE disappointment for me, but that's just the kind of person I am. I really don't like nudity in games, movies, art or whatever.
I know. I'm in the minority these days. Whatever. Doesn't matter. It's still who I am. I don't like it or approve of it. Too much of it flooding the media.
It's a personal choice. I don't think a person should view anyone naked but their spouse. I'm not trying to force this on anyone else. I'm just hoping for an option... as slim a hope as that might be to hope for.
And yeah. All this said, I'm getting more and more ready to just let the game go. Chances are, what with everyone's desires on most of these threads, Larian will likely make the game pretty dang mature with lots of nudity, sex, and so forth later in the game.
Sigh... can't find any games without it these days. Sigh...
