    IM just curious as to what you all think. Should the gaem art reflect an unclothed individual as being truely....nakiedoodle? IM of course excluding the topless amazons in the post. I mean... how can so many npcs get so pissed of at a guy in shorts? or a girl in a swimsuit...of course dress was a lot mroe conservative b4ck then....

    Chryssalis, you're a truly warped individual ad should fit in quite well here. You'll probably feel most comfortable sandwiched between Milo and Feldon.

    About the nakedness. I think new characters maybe should be naked, but only if there was a place in the game to buy those stylish briefs you currently get upon entering. A half-ogre in Calvin Kleins is my kind of fashion statement.

    during the 60's and 70's shows, ive noticed that thin clothing like nigth gown or nigthies migth consider as "almost nude"
    imagine that happening during the 18th century

    A female half-elf with nothing but a smile is mine :smile:. Oh wait, forgot I was a guy there for a second... Still, nothing like having the conservatives running after you shouting "Nudity is the tool of the Devil!"

    (Damn I love that saying! :smile:).

    Who do you see yourself sandwiched between Fatman?

    Well, since I'm on a forum that my Lysa might read at any moment ... Lysa and the bedsheets! :grin:

    Ah dammit, I suppose I have to admit that'd be the answer even if Lysa didn't know a thing about this place (although the poistion of the bedsheets might be a bit more under threat) :wink:

    I really don't see the point why characters should be completely naked in a game.

    Your take off ALL your clothes, then your naked, this is a RPG therefore if you take off ALL your character cloths it should be naked, although they never are are they ?! heheh :smile:

    Dammit! I'm a consenting adult, and if I want to roleplay as a streaker and cheap hooker, then I should be allowed to roleplay as a streaker and cheap hooker!

    No, nudity in games is for people like *Censored* who actually get off on it...

    I said I don't see the point. I don't really care with way. I just don't see how it would actually really add anything to the game, but whatever :smile:

    I kinda like the idea of integral underpants. Imagine the savings of time and money.

    Plus it would eliminate the constant need to keep up with the latest mens underwear fashions, which takes up a big chunk of all our lives, I'm sure.

    And the idea of a truly natural fitting pair is just bliss. No more squirming. No more chasing the elusive gusset to prize it out of my crack.

    If anything, I think we should be objecting to the need for nakedness in real life. If those bigwigs in parliament weren't so stubborn, we could ALL have an integral pair of white CK's.

    Well, that's why I always wear boxer shorts. Much more comfortable, breezy etc etc etc. Until your utopia comes along and implements itself, it's the best you're going to get :smile:.

    Also, just how integral are these pants you are envisioning? I mean, I don't like 'soiling' myself for any reason if I can help it...

    I mean the whole Arcanum shebang, of course. Notice how there are no toilets, and yet everyones underwhere is always spotless. That's because they all wear self-cleaning pants. I it was the first schematic GB nicked from the Dwarves, who invented it out of necessity (they live and work in dirty tunnels and their arses are closer to the floor).

    EDIT: suggestions for the schematic of this wondrous device would be welcome. I'm thinking of doing some tinkering in my workshop.

    Gnomes and halflings live closer to the floor though. I don't care if my underpants clean the house for me! I still have to soil myself like a baby would! WHERE'S THE JUSTICE IN THAT???

    Why didn't Troika include toilet art though? I mean, where else are you supposed to dispose of stolen goodies?

    You want to talk about justice? It's your shit, who better to wear it?

    Gnomes and Halflings? Now you're just being ridiculous. As magical creatures, it's fairly obvious they must use spells to keep their perma-briefs clean.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again - I'm not entirely sure what I meant when I wrote that.

    Where'd you come up with the name of perma-briefs? Semi-permanent briefs? Permanent briefs? I'm not the one being ridiculous suggesting self-cleaning briefs. Gnomes and halflings are hardly magickal creatures...

    Think about the Suits the Fremen wear.. I mean maybe they have something similiar? Maybe it's another mystery like the dwarven females? Who knows? Why are there so many goddman zombies in every sewer? There is so many questions to be asked, but none are aswered...

    Just got here, just read this thread.
    You are all deeply troubled, and you need help.
    You start with nudity, which naturally progresses to a homosexual three-way, and then it's on to the scatological stuff.
    And no mention of sheep anywhere.
    *sigh*
