Ingame Nudity ?!

I would prefer that any nudity and language for that matter, be optional myself so that the game can be fun for all demographics and not strictly mature players only.

and we are back to the basic question. Why is nudity or foul language for that matter a problem?
When killing a person with a sword is not… (Or do yo think all violence should be removed also?)

Some people enjoy a good action game without the unnecessary inclusion of other mature themes. I’m not saying that’s for everybody or how it should be for everybody, but for those who prefer it, it would be nice if it were an option. If it were made an option the game would be attractive to audiences beyond the mature gamer only and would receive more backers from other demographics playing the game. I’m just saying it should accommodate different people’s comfort levels. It’s just like the guy who enjoys action movies but isn’t into porn.

I think your average tampon advert contains more mature themes than will ever be in this game…

Then you clearly havn’t played the alpha…

There might be foul language, nudity in this game, weapons and violence, but no people of colors and same sex marriage? Ugh, I hope Dan and the team is prepared for the sh*tstorm that will occur once the game is out in the market… :smiley:

“Joke” aside, the problem with too much options is that it will make the game expensive. Right now you see an option to turn off - for example - cursing and violence. How so? Optional censoring? Rewriting dialogues? Or like Total War handles this, blood DLC? We will get to the point where people won’t buy the game because a considerable amount of money they pay is for development they won’t use one way or another.
KCD already has a set “demographic segment” to aim for. Believe me, I have never played for example the Witcher, or Mass Effect, or Dragon Age, or whichever title comes with “deep” social agenda and nudity or love interest-b*llshit. But I have no problem with these in itself. I care about the middle ages, and either the fact that people occassionally kill each other or - hopefully more often - have sex with each other makes or doesn’t make it’s way into the game is all up to the developers as far as I am concerned.
In the end, all it matters is the game, the story, and if this is good, I’m fine with the tools to achieve this as long as they are not self-serving.

comfort levels? it’s simply not possible to cater to everyone, they’d have to make a dozen version of the game, quests will have to be scripted differently, cutscenes shot multiple times, dialog recorded at least 2 different ways. and they’ll have to do this, just because some guy can’t handle boobs?

there comes a time for introspection, i think that time has come for you.

These guys lived in somewhat static communities in the middle of nowhere, knowing each other most of their lives, I am pretty sure they didn’t make a big deal of occasionaly stumbling upon each other washing their balls in the stream, of teenagers shagging in the hay or drunk guy running around the village with his pants off on his 30th birthday.

This whole issue is quite ridiculous to be honest. What is happening in the game shouldn’t be governed by the question “will we show tits or not?” or anything like that. They should primarily write interesting story and quests, and make the characters act as they would act, without worrying too much about what could offend an American/Saudi/Indian/any other customer with strange cultural quirks.

If we see naked person during the game, sure, why not. If we don’t, no problem either. The important thing for whatever the game will contain is making sense in a context of the game.

213’s post is harsh, but he’s right. This game is set in 1403 in the midst of a vicious and bloody civil war. It begins with the protagonist having his village burned to the ground and his family murdered by marauding soldiers; the Kickstarter campaign had screenshots showing characters being burned at the stake. It’s not aimed at kids, and censoring nudity and bad language would simply destroy the atmosphere without actually making it suitable for the ‘other demographics’ people are talking about.

that’s a good idea and make it easy for everyone. I played Mortals and it has full nudity. and a guy trolled me and kept putting his wang in my face. I tried to kill him and was killed by guards. and he looted me. If they do add it. make it a arrest able offence, public indecency, So if a man try’s to dangle his manhood in my face he may become the first sex change. =] or some small sausage treat for my mastiff! Now its a woman and she is cute could be my treat. haha Will their be love and marriage? As youknow most of our GF’s , Wife’s, or whatever HATE GAMING! I talked to my GF and she was willing to try the game because I told her I will make our characters look like us we could make a home and farm, and she can wash my clothes! haha, she seemed interested, So as I am out fighting, she can be taking care of all our home and personal needs. Also she can learn skills :Healing, cooking, crafting etc. So we both can enjoy the game. Sure I will teach her how to use a weapon. incase I’m not there to protect her. or if she needs to perform a sex change operation! =P. Just my 2 groschen worth !

Interesting game. Though I had not much time to get deeper into it.

Not sure if this NPC behaviour will be possible. But it sounds it could fit some local crazy man… what say you @Vik?

Some romantic bits will probably be present, and surely some sex scenes. But I don’t see marriage happening.

I think you have big misconceptions about this game. And I am sorry that I have to be the one to tell you this. But you wont be able to choose appearance of your character (except maybe hair, beard). Your character will be Henry the Blacksmith and thats it.
Also the game does not support multiplayer, so you wont be able to play with your girlfriend.
You probably heard of playable female character. That is true but you will play as her only for a few quests and then switch back to Henry.

It seems that you live under impression that this game is MMORPG. But let me assure you that KC:D is singleplayer role playing game in the same manner (not necessiraly on the same level) as Elderscrolls series.

Hope you will still like the game even though it turned out to be something different you though it to be.

Tell you what, I would probably never venture out into the real world ever again if someone were to make a Kingdom Come MMO (especially if it could do a Neverwinter Nights-style Persistent World).

Medieval times are known greatly for nudity and sexual encounters folks.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance should basicly be like real authentic Medieval times with nudity, foul language, and sexual content and blood and gore and violence galore.

Cuz some one like it, some one dont like dude

source?

Exactly how do you know how the daily language was?
How do you know how much nudity there was and how common sex outside marriage was?

Sorry that the source is in German, but there should be also a English version of the .pdf file but I couldn’t find it.

The important thing is that the word nude had a variation of meanings at this time, ranging from completely naked to not propper dressed for the situation or the external standing in society.

Explicit nudity as such is absolutely not important for a good game, as is bad language or even violence (fighting). I would, however, really enjoy some ‘romantic’ mechanics and evolving relationship between player vs. other characters, as well other character vs other character :slight_smile: as part of the story. E.g. It’s just nice to see the village girl you slept with month ago still remembering you, the another one you took by force still hating you, or your liege’s shy and humble daughter keep secretly throwing her eye on you inviting you to visit her later that day on top of her tower she was banished to :stuck_out_tongue: Romantic relationships (often without any sign of nudity or foul language) is classic theme even in classic literature, so why it should be different in videogames.

Because something being one way in one medium isn’t a reason for it to be that way in another. Not on it’s own. “In movies, the run time is usually under 2 hours, so why not here?” :I

It is when realism is one of the main focuses, which it is in this case.

You’re expressing that you don’t think signs of nudity of foul language are necessary (which is true, but I don’t agree when we’re talking about a game that supposed to be somewhat realistic), but then you just offhandedly mention wanting people to remember when you rape them?!?XD Awesome:D

Not sure, if I understood you well, but while nudity relates to sexuality only (very marginal issue indeed), developing a relationship as such is a more complex thing, yet waiting to be properly showed in a vast number of games.

You said it yourself - realism. When it comes to weapons and fighting, you have plenty of games to choose from. But all relationships/romanticism in games usually ends right on the start with main hero’s favourite character dying and he himself taking path of bloody revenge. Or it’s completely missing from the game. So you go on useless quests like killing a dragon, saving a king, raiding a cuman camp or killing 1000+1 enemies, yet there may be no quest line or in-build mechanics that would follow more personal level, and if there’s one, it’s often portrayed in a very (modern) way of various clichés and with a strong influence of sexuality and roles. Which is something I don’t like. I really hope the miller’s daughter here will be not just the sexual object, but will have real and believable personality and ability to influence Henry or even take decisions and have her own approach to various in-game situations :wink:

To the main point, and yes, that was the only purpose of the previous post - I consider romanticist literature of 19th century one of the major landmarks of humanity ever. Might give you few book tips later to better understand what’s the matter with it. Realism and romanticism can go really well together… there are also epic quests. battles. skirmishes. historical events and characters. but also a plenty of personal topics, and very often, it’s all mixed together very nicely. Complexity is the way.
