Well... First: putting sex and violence on the same level is a logical fallacy. Violence is a power fantasy while sex is a basic desire. Second: violence serves a purpose in video games as they provide obstacles. No violence, no video game. Can't say the same for sex. Third: there is a difference between nudity and prostitution. Fourth: peer pressure. Your friend walk in your room seeing you shooting bad guys, he will want to join in the fun. He sees you watching badly rendered characters in the nude, he will want to get you out of the room. Fifth: as far as violence and sex are part on our life, one is frowned upon while the other is healthy to have. Therefore, vidoe games are naturally accepted as a way to get the satisfaction that comes with violence without harming anybody. To kill for entertainment is harmless. Sixth: we're talking about a RPG where the focus is on story and characterization anyway, not violence and sex. Seventh: many people asked for the possibility to have a Pacifist Run, as they considered this more satisfying. I can go on if you want. "Yeah, right", indeed. Nah, adult mods are just part of the RPG experience the same as any component like a long list of spells or the ability to choose 6 races. Or any of the other things I mentioned like if you want to destroy a village and slaughter its humanoid inhabitants. You are one moralizing and suggesting that people who like Adult Mods are creepy, this means nothing as you aren't in any position to tell someone else what there RPG experience in a game should be and you have no idea why people use adults mods. Sorry PS I generally use the enhanced prostitution mod's in games like F:NV...I hope this doesn't make me creepy

I don't think it could, who said I'm being anything as fancy as an arbiter, it's an easy and simple observation to carry out, at least when it's preachy people, like some here - see the cheerleader for example. Not really an attempt to dictate things with people, either, it's just fun to wind people up, you have to admit. Also, has the forum software changed - keep seeing non breaking space elements "the cheerleader"

Your post made me laugh

Come on Nonek, you are too bright to try to convince anyone, including yourself, that what you mentioned is anything remotely similar to the bigotry that many groups receive that I am referring to. And its not just words but how they are treated and how they perceive themselves. I really don't feel I should give you examples because its pretty obvious if you just look around the world at cases of discrimination I'm sure you have been the victim of verbal abuse because you look rough and you're large as you mentioned

That's good to know, I also have never felt that. But of course we both are white, heterosexual males who have never really been on the receiving end of the type of discrimination I am talking about that can and does impact the dignity of person.

I agree, also in Bethesda games they truly embrace the concept of a sandbox game set in a large open-world RPG where you can basically travel anywhere you see. You can't expect Bethesda to have every part of the world populated with something to do

IMO they are coming from a place like RPGCodex where "trolling" has its own definition and meme where it is both acceptable and encouraged, and they got butt hurt that outside "trolls" are seen as horrible people or according to this study psychopathic sadist. It like arguing about what is "cool", you will always upset several niche communities. RPGCodex, hah, softy noveaux trollites who can't stand the heat and need to get out of the kitchen whenever there is some real discuss!on that isn't scaled to their level. Usenet, bro, where trolls were trolls and moderation wasn't in the dictionary. Well, except in moderated groups, of course. (Yeah, some trolls are horrible people. Some people are horrible people. It's sheer inevitability) They should make me a Moderator of RPGCodex, half the members would be immediately banned and most of the other members would be on there last warning. " I'll bring order and respect to that cesspool of Internet forum social injustice" Why do you hate free speech so much? I don't hate free speech, I welcome and encourage free speech. I am opposed to speech that is synonymous with discrimination or bigotry. In the South African constitution we allow free speech but not if it infringes on the dignity of the person. Its not an unreasonable expectation

Ukraine doesn't want to be independent, they want to align with either the EU or the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. This is there choice because they believe it will give them greater economic prosperity. And I agree it would as opposed to them operating independently in these troubled economic times

You know the rules Walsie, we never agree with Zor under any circumstances..ever You've raised a good point but I would argue that almost no Western government would have such a total disregard for there citizens wishes or be happy to unleash the level of violence we have seen to stop protests In the UK I remember that story during the student protests where the police pushed that guy, he fell on the floor and he died of a heart attack. There was a massive investigation and inquiry and if I'm not mistaken some police officers were charged

Let it not be said that forums don't help us to solve complicated ruminations

I love the logic of some of your comments and insight, its irrefutable. Certain people must hate debating with you I'm still hung up on how many L's are in his name. I see two. Sometimes one. C'mon, which is it. its 3 isn't it ?

Nude mods is first, then romances will follow. You guys are right, Mods can add some exciting enhancements to Romance options so those are good suggestions. I never understand this aversion to adult mods in RPG. So its okay to kill children, use magic, slaughter hundreds of humanoid creatures and other humans, summon demons and basically commit gratuitous acts of violence with your party but the thought of your characters in a party experiencing nudity or sex is somehow considered profane and perverse Yeah right.....

I've got 5 cats, one is a Norwegian forest cat and the rest are just domestic shorthaired cats, some with lynx-like tufts on their ears. I don't have any particular breed preference or something, I do like the white cats we used to have here though, but they're gone now do to castrations and sterilizations. I love cats, I wanted to see what a Norwegian forest cat looked like so I googled it. They are adorable I briefly rented a room from an old lady who bred them and pretty much always had kittens around. It was extremely therapeutic to come home to a cornucopia of kittens to play with to de-stress after work. Aaaahhhhh that is cute I can't think of anything more relaxing than coming home and having a whole lot of kittens to play with...its like having your living breathing stress-ball

I'm hoping they stick with the pirate motif, but if this picture is anything to go by, then it looks like we may be going back to a more medieval-ish theme I didn't mind the pirate theme. What I didn't like were the smallish islands and that meant less fun exploration. Agreed, one or two much larger islands would have been much better. With that said, Piranha Bytes managed to cram an amazingly high amount of stuff to find and do into each of those little islands. I was about to say that, for me what Piranha Bytes always does well is that "over the hill and far away" type of RPG. What I mean by that is they are brilliant at creating open-world RPG that you get excited exploring. The excitement at wanting to explore an RPG world is one of the fundamental tenets that make a RPG great. So yay for Risen 3, I'm very excited

Hi Walsie You are another regular who has been conspicuous by your absence. Good to have you back

Fair enough. But I've seen people end up with nothing and I can understand how they don't want to sacrifice for the "greater good". I hear you, you saying that sometimes a social change isn't worth what people can lose. And that does make sense in some cases

Interesting post, I learnt something

mmmm..the Chinese and they have done it before. What is my present for answering the question?

That's easy to say when your personal life isn't affected by reform. That's not quite true, I lived through the end of Apartheid and I experience social changes in our fledgling Democracy regularly.

That is an excellent point and I doubt anyone will challenge its logic

That's not an option and its a silly suggestion From what I understand this isn't a widepsread uprising, so why isn't that an option ? Then again, even if he does win, there'll just be claims of corruption and vote tampering. Okay my comment was inaccurate, I apologize. He may win but its unlikely based on how he has handled these protests like Fighter mentioned

And if Janukovitj was once again democratically elected? That's not an option and its a silly suggestion

All we can see this as an important lesson for any leader who wants to align with Russia when there citizens clearly don't ? I see an emergency election date is being set, that should hopefully settle the debate around " what do the citizens of Ukraine want?
