Bare chests is definitely considered nudity in the states, and guys will usually get pretty "excited" about them over here.

All in all, my point has been that, while not a major selling point, the breast-adjustment feature will do quite a bit more good than hurt. Boobies = yay, and that's me speaking for every single man out there.

Now if the nudity was a bit over the top then we might start seeing some problems, but I'd rather not go too much deeper in the territory than we already are.

But I would like full nudity because it is natural. And changable undewear that can have magical enchantments

(notice the )

My argument for full nudity on the AoC forums is because it is an 18+ game, so why not just add in the naughty bits as well?

The other 90% are, and 90 is much larger than 10. Sorry if that was slightly incorrect, I should know better, given that my mom's a lesbian.

It's good to see you lightening up a bit, by the way.

I feel that there could be an "over the top" point to the nudity. I can't really comment on this since I don't know what's "nude" in the game. Is the nudity your own female character being able to take her top off, or is it some disgusting harpy beasts that don't wear shirts?

Read some conan books

AoC without sex, nudity and violence would be like Lord of the rings without 'the one ring', or without legolas or frodo.

It represents the real thing, and that gets some people off.

There's little to get so you can't really be blamed. In fact, you're probably much better off not getting it.

How often is the phrase "lorelol" phrased around about those forums?

And Bhavv, my lady friend has a beta and a kick ass computer, so I'll see about trying it.

I would read them also, but I tried reading the lord of the rings and got bored halfway through the first one. I just dont enjoy reading books much, as opposed to reading random stuff on wikipedia lol.

My dad has the whole collection though.

I'd much rather slice a monster's head off than read about it, anyways. Hence AoC.

The Hobbit is quite challenging to read. Don't think I ever finshed it. Mind you I tried reading it when I was 10.

I would also like to live the lore and the story in my games on top of slicing the heads off too

Game > Books.

When I was a kid I was addicted to those RPG adventure books, where they have paragraphs and you choose where to go to next and roll dice to determine outcomes.

I was geekified since before I even got a PC and Baldurs Gate lol. I problably gave up on books right after Baldurs Gate.

Personally I do not think virtual boobies add to a game in any other way than eyecandy. I prefer realistic body proportions, but I don't burden that decision on others. A game is meant to be played how the individual wants to play it, so if a 35 year old 350 pound man is sitting in his dark lonely basement playing AoC, well by god let him have some juggies to look at lest he commit suicide.

It is not actually 18+. In ESRB ratings, it is M, which is for 17+.

Sorry to burst your bubble

In response to Malice's earlier comment about the AoC forms, yes I would agree that they are horrible. 60% of the people posting think they are Crom's gift to gaming and are always flaming anyone who has ever played WoW, and tossing the term Carebear around like it was going out of style. The community has a LOT of testosterone. They seem to think that anyone who has played a game other than the ones they have does not know what "real" PvP is. Basically they are a bunch of whiney retards. But I digress...

Saturday is fast approaching and I am 80% downloaded!

It's an 18 in the UK. Don't know about European mainland, but it's definitely an 18 here.

Scroll down to "Technical Details". Over here it's PEGI not ESRB.

10 %, as bhavv said, is not into women, 60% doesn't get a boner from pixels, that leaves 30% back, beside, there will be kids, oh yes there will, nudity + swearing.


example "dad dad daaaad, can i have this game !?!? " after a while he just buys it.

This is the first time I've seen a Canadian thats as Ignorant as an American.

The whole world doesnt live in your country.

Random facts - In Spain, the legal age of consent is 13. In the UK, you can start drinking alcohol from 18. In the Netherlands, (and I THINK Belgium too), cannabis is legalised.
