  • Why are so many people obsessed with the fact that there's no nudity in the game?

  • Agreed. I thought this was the thread I already commented in, but no, apparently this is ANOTHER nudity thread. While I initially agreed it is at least a little weird given TTG's past with TWAU, there's no need to keep ranting about this. It's not like the story is significantly worse without nudity.

  • Why would you want nudity in a video game? I mean, do animated boobs or other private bits look all that great? If you want nudity, go watch the show or porn.

  • In your mind, what constitutes the "need" for nudity?

    The source material had it, and when Rodrik and Elaena slept together in Episode 5, that would have been a natural point to have it. Like, if there wasn't a need for it there, I'm not sure when there ever would be.

    Or, y'know, maybe there was simply no need for nudity in the game.

  • Its just weird is all.

    The show is full of it, and there was at least one scene that would have made sense to have it (Elaena/Rodrik). It would be like making a South Park game without swearing.

  • The source material is different from the game, though. I mean, it's not the same thing, they're different stories in the same universe. I feel like Rodrik/Elaena was kind of the most nudity we'll get, and I don't see any reason to have anything more than that, just because it doesn't make all too much sense right now in terms of where everyone is in the plot.

  • Telltale tries to give their games the same presentation across all devices, and the iOS App Store does not allow apps with nudity (I don't know how they worked around that with Wolf). I don't imagine that's the main reason, but that's probably a part of it. Another part may be that they just want to avoid uncanny valley with the nude scenes, or they could be taking a cue from the books which I hear do not rely extensively on sex scenes like the show does.

    From an interview

    "Creatively, we're going to defer to the show because we are using HBO's license," Allison said. "Playing the game should feel like watching the show and we'll be making lots of decisions the same way the showrunners do. We've talked with them about how they make their decisions and how they pace their scenes, what they do when they face a big plotline and what to keep and cut. We're taking their expertise and applying it to the material we bring to the table."

    This shouldn't even need proof. Copying the opening of the show should tip you off that playing the game is supposed to be like an interactive version of the show. If they didn't want it to be like the show, they would have licensed the books. Or just gone with a completely different IP.

    Just want to emphasize that this isn't a big deal. This is a minor quibble. But its insane to me that people act like there's some sort of creative reason here. The game should be like the show, and there were clear opportunities to do it.

    In the books, there are more "post-sex talks" than actual sex scenes, although Tyrion's penis is mentioned and described quite often. Yes, really.

  • Yeah, that's the reason I wanted to play this game in the first place: nudity. I have no intrest in the story, what so ever. I'm utterly disappointed in TT for not providing me with my daily dose of nudity in video games.

    Authenticity is a red herring. The game is branded and endorsed. It uses the same art and assets as the show. You don't get more authentic than that seal of approval from the IP owners. If they weren't happy with it; it simply wouldn't be in our hands in its current form.

    Nudity in the game would add nothing besides nudity itself. The story doesn't need it and indeed there is only a single scene thus far where it might be considered appropriate and in context. Telltale went with discreet and tasteful instead. No-one with any sense of maturity is going to get bent out of shape because boobs didn't feature.

    Ask yourself, does the lack of nudity detract at all from the game, the experience or the story? If the answer is no, then there is no need for it. If the answer is yes, then I would like you to please tell me how the game, experience or story are improved by what would essentially be, cartoon nudity.

  • "Authenticity is a red herring"

    No it's not. The game is set in medieval times where people weren't so PC about nudity in modern times. Nudity in game would add to the general trend/authenticity of the show where we often see nude scenes present. By not having nude scenes we are essentially saying that the game is trying to tone down the adult aspect to cater to children.

    For example. Suppose telltale got the backing for the walking dead by the author but decided that blood was too gruesome to show, or having someone get shot, stab a zombie in the head, or decaptiation was too much and decided to take that away from the actual game. It would seem like a watered down version of the show.

    Wow, really can't appreciate a good story without tits & ass, huh?

    It fit for the Pudding & Pie in The Wolf Among Us, but otherwise, I feel like it was just fine how it was. Especially with the Morning After scene with Elaena & Rodrik. Maybe if there had been Whores in Essos that we saw in some back shot or easter egg or something, sure. But Nudity doesn't really add to a story's value.

    I didn't come to play this game because of the chance of ass, tits, or a penis; I came to play this game because of the immersive story & the characters & getting to explore another interpretation of GRRM's series.

    But in all seriousness, it's the game designers choice, not the shows, not yours, the game designers. And what the game designers do, is the games destiny.
