Are you kidding? Nudity!? Like the posters already said, go watch come porn. Its easy to find. Hell, you could probably google rocket science n somehow find some boobies. I am all for blood, gore, and decapications but retarded dudes running around with their toons naked flirting with other retarded sausage legs is just plain, well, retarded. This is one topic that really gets under my skin. Whats the point in having nudity in a game? Immersion? please. If used only sparingly, i could see how it could be put into a game through a quest, story, joke, or something. But having the usual sausage leg bunny hopping naked around a community hot spot is completely out of context.
You could take your opinion and switch the words "Blood" and "Gore" with "Nudity", for all what you said about nudity could also be said about violence. Does a game benefit from totally cool graphics of heads rolling? I personally have no problems with violence and nudity both, for both are part of what makes us human, as long as each have a point in the media it is portrayed in.
Given a choice, I would rather see nudity; being a former military person I have seen death for real. Nudity does not equal porn, or even sexuality. It simply is a state of unadornment. The connection of nudity to sexuality has solely to do with prudish views and a society that is so badly censored to the point that it cannot seperate the two.
Overt sexuality should be used very sparingly, but plain old nekkidness is no big deal. It just amazes me how violence (and hiddeous cruel acts) is OK but nudity is not. Sadly, vvistovv's remark is so common and is so why our society is so screwed up. People like him are legion.
You know why people say that stuff? Because nudity scares them. Sexuality scares them and makes them uncomfortable. It scares them more than any threat of violence could, for it reveals one's own inner insecurities. You can run from bombs and guns, but you can't hide from your true self.... naked or clothed.
Not really. I mean yes that is a possibility I mean they went crazy over the hot coffee mod in San Andreas. But to clarify my question im not asking will there be avatar on avatar sex, I'm asking will there just be un censored nudity like in Age of Conan. Another thing to remember is that Age of Conan had full frontal nudity and it to my knowledge wasn't attacked for this. Hell in Second Life your avatar can have sex with other avatars, and while I've seen some articles about it for the most part there was no uproar about that. I think that we are slowly adjusting to boobs in MMOs. I honestly don't think Darkfall would recieve bad press if it had boobs under a mature rating. Furthermore I can't help but wonder if they have a mature rating due to blood and the harshness of the world why not put that in for realism.
dude...get a girlfriend...
on a side not i do love my gore and would love to see more of it. I dont see why non realistic (i do draw the line on some things) gore cant be accepted in most games. As far as nudity goes...seriously...women were put on this earth for a reason...games were made for another reason entirelly.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds -Solid non level based game -Sharks with lasers attached to their heads

I weep for our species.
Amen!
For all those of us who had the questionable opportunity to witness violent death first hand, who know the smell or large amounts of blood and of burning flesh, the priorities will be different.
This doesn't have to mean I don't want blood and gore in a game like this, it belongs there and is a part of it, but ruling out nudity per default, just because you had the chance to witness that for real before and know your fears, just is against all logic.
Again, for DF in it's setting, lore and game dynamic, I don't see why nudity should be in anyway, as I don't see it contributing to the game,. It's just the logics of that kind of a discussion that are flawed.
Originally, the devs intended full nudity for all characters to be part of the game. Whether or not that makes it into the final release of the game is anyone's guess (after all, they have to deal with US distributors now).
OP is absolutely right on intent - the reasoning for the choice to allow nudity was simply one of freedom.

It will be rated F for failure.
