Yes, I would've left it out entirely. I don't at all see it contributing anything to the game in any way. However, if they were going to have it, then just do it the way it's done in many other games: fade to black without showing anything explicit.
The point about oversexualization is to say that Larian intentioanlly included unecessary sexually explicit scenes in the game as a way to attract a bigger audience to their game. Nothing further needs be said here. It's a very straightforward point that requires no further elaboration.
And the point about interactivity was my way of explaining why in an age of porn aplenty young people would want this rather tame version of virtual sex. The interactivity point was not criticism of the game, but rather explaining that even though far more explicit porn exists out there, and even for free, all of that porn has to be consumed passively, whereas in this game a player can interact within the sexual material. And this can make a big difference for some people.
“Fade to black without showing anything explicit”
Doesn’t that completely undermine your “strawman claim”
It seems the nudity is what bothers you. Can’t you just adjust your settings to avoid that?
Or do the sex scenes still play only everyone is clothed? I don’t know the answer because I’ve never checked it out.
Not at all. I'm simply not repeating, in this post or any of my previous posts, the many related things others are writing about in this thread. I fully agree with @Ixal, @dwig and others that there are so many other areas in which those resources could've been used. That is the point. SO it's not that I have an issue with the sex. It is very much that the sex stuff is a total WASTE of resources that could have and should have been used to add/improve so many other areas of the game that are currently lacking. But I don't feel the need to say those things myself because others are saying them very well here. My posting time is very limited, and as you can see over the years I have always kept my posts very short.
