True, but those weren't the iconic armour pieces for those games i.e. being plastered on the box art and pre release promotional items etc.TopazFusion said:

Plus the Forsworn armour and Raider armour is equally revealing on male characters as it is on female characters.Ed130 said:
Oh my god, what is this visual schizophrenia I am looking at. It's like all of Deviantart crammed itself into one picture, then shat on itself. Don't we already have porn for this kind of stuff?
That's it, I quit.

I see your armour, and raise you armour with bunny ears!DoPo said:I see your armour and rise you ARMOUR!Dirty Hipsters said:That's not even the worst or most "in your face" of it.Vault101 said:
This is armor. ARMOR!
OT:
I find it really difficult to take a game seriously when it has blatant fan service. If the rest of the game is good, I guess you could just dismiss it as pressure from the marketing department, and assume that the designers didn't actually want to do this to their game.
My point was more the armour was designed to fit the game aesthetics than "WE NEED T&A!" but you make a good point. People can't complain if the armour is skimpy for both sexes, (but they probably will anyway.)JayElleBee said:
Thats my thoughts. While im not going to rage against putting gratuitous tits in games, that doesnt mean I think every game needs them.Emiscary said:
This stuff is like an arms race, or boobs race...? Basically to stay edgy you have to put more shock value nudity than the last game. As one of the target audience to this sort of thing, I'm usually a little offended that they think I'm going to shell out the cash to play as/with one of these avatars. It just seems a little to skeevy for me. If I wanted wank material I would go find pron.
It was more of an additional point that I was going to make in response to the other guy anyway. Figured I'd just toss it in with yours. c:Ed130 said:

I call bullshit on the female raider armor from FO3. That had more man-tits than fem-tits.TopazFusion said:
This is [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101220003739/fallout/images/1/1d/Raider_Armor_set.png] why I know.
Also, the Briarhearts don't wear any torso armor either. Why is there never any complaint about exposed man-tits? I find them quite offensive!
What about vowels, punctuation and the second square? Do you know of these?Owen Robertson said:

Aaaand this is precisely why I cannot bring myself to try/play Tera.
Sucks for them.
I like some grit in my imaginary worlds.
People running around all looking like perfect super models just breaks my immersion. All I'll be thinking about is 'how do you even WEAR that' 'Why is she showing her half bare chest to an enemy' 'HOW is that comfortable and protective?!'
The list goes on. This problem is rampant in the media but none quite so abashedly as this MMO.
I'm really quite torn up about it because I hear the combat is great. But it goes against everything I try to create in my own Game Designs. So...sorry I'm sticking to my guns here.
There's Sexy, and there's deliberate Sexualization.
This is just blatant.

Personally, with the wide spread availability of pornography I've never quite understood why some people insist on having small amounts of titillation spread evenly through the days events, or even how it manages to excite them considering the have actual boobs of any size and variety able to be fully viewed at any time via the internet.
Then again, if it's in games it's because it sells: if there's an audience wanting and happy to pay for boobs, who am I to rain on their parade?

Nay good sir. I am but a simple frat-boy. I spend my days in a drunken stupor and my nights in a slightly more drunken and horny stupor.Freechoice said:
Ladies, we give up our dreams, we work jobs we hate, we slowly work ourselves to death, all because you don't want to work at anything that won't get you a front page, you get alimony almost everytime someone gets divorced. So why can't you just let us have something? We aren't even asking you for anything, just that you don't make asses of yourseves while we make something for ourselves. It's like we spend all day giving you presents, then you throw a tantrum because we have nice china, why are we always the ones to suck it up.
I dont really care to be honest unless its full blown nudity shoved right in my face all the time then yes that would give me pause for thought (and almost certainly turn me away) but I will put up with half naked men and women in my game if I think the game is enjoyable.
There is plenty of room for games with pointless sexualisation and those without as long as they are both enjoyable I dont care either way its up to the designers to decide what they want for their game (well ok people with the money to decide what they want).

I'd totally buy that game.Emiscary said:
Just go all the damned way. Design a race of sexually rapacious italian underwear models with pointy ears and neon hair that're born 18, have a lifespan of 7 years, then vanish into a puff of smoke. They dress entirely in pasties (think a more chic/modern version of Adam/Eve wear), they fuck to do literally *everything* (gain sustenance, rest, meditate, learn, excrete, all of it). And they'll have a go with literally anything. ANYTHING. There is no hole too inhospitable and no pole too intimidating. But they can't interbreed. They only ever spread their own genes. That way if you knock one up/get knocked up by one you can look forward to being the parent of a bubbly short lived whore.
No, really, I fucking would.
Not sure if you meant it purely as a joke but I think you are actually on to something. I could totally see a game putting a race like this into it, I'll let them know it was your idea.Emiscary said:
Yeah agreeing, I mean they don't need to take away the curves of the women but the armor could actually be more armor-like.
I mean all the dudes have full on armor and most you see of them are their eyes but that doesn't stop us from seeing hoe big and muscular they are.
