*laughing* Well.... my toons don't have undies. Gotta love nvde mods.... I draw the line at the nvde male mods though - a nvde mod I grabbed for MW this time around undressed ALL the men in the game, including the guys who are standing at crossroads etc. waiting for help to get their clothes back.... I'm sorry.... it was just TOO much - I had to go find a mod that didn't undress all the males in the game. So in Skyrim I was careful - I just got thepal's fem one. I'm fine with women unclothed, but seeing the men unclothed makes me want to do something unmentionable to them with my sword....

Oh, my. Another good reason this isn't an MMO.

Well, it's just silly to assume ANY thinking being would be standing around totally naked but with edged or blunt weapon at the ready to take on the nearest bear. (No, please don't take that the way it probably sounds....) I expand that to include the common depiction of female warriors in nothing but bikinis.... Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE fan of the unclothed human body. But there's a great deal to be said for protection if you're REALLY going out to kill that bear....

Yeah, I had to get over the sixy armor thing a long time ago (it wasn't easy), but as you can tell I've embraced it now.

I'm still baffled by the shirtless guys in the tundra regions.

six is treated bizarrely in America.

As long as we don't see it it doesn't bother us.

Every 5 minutes on 13 different channels across this country at any given time, somebody on Law & Order is being sawed into 14 different pieces or being [censored] with a maglight and nobody bats an eye because it's just good television, but the second some chick flashes her (COVERED) boob during a halftime performance at the Super Bowl the entire country spirals into scandalous chaos.

We're still living in the puritan and mid-vic times. I know why we as a country never got past that, but I'm not opening THAT can of worms in this forum....

See, my degree is in anthropology so I have a different perspective.

Oh yes. I'm acquainted with that perspective. Since my own days in college in anthro (not my major, my minor), the perspective with which I was familiar has changed a good deal over the years - I took my degree in 1971. I'm certainly not going to argue specs with someone from a much later era (comparing my years in classes to yours). No doubt my impressions are quite dated to you. However, that's hardly the main thrust of my point - which is that there's absolutely nothing wrong with naked human bodies - unless you're planning (in current terms) to head off into a war naked but for woad....

Mods exist for things like this.
Let the Bethesda take care of actual problems, please.
