I was thinking while playing Fallout 3 the other day, in real human terms the urge to have sex is massively strong, but now or days its much more repressed, but imagine we took all the safety from our life's, we lived in a place were death could strike at any moment, you would want to get laid for various reasons.

I'm using Fallout 3 as a example here, your in a post-apocalyptic world, base human instincts come to force, you would shag a hell load, like shooting a female raider's gun and leg, killing her comrades, shagging her then kill her, it would be human to do such things.

So why is this bad? i would like to roleplay as a real human being that includes all forms of choice, whether or not to be evil or good, murder or not, sex or not, gay or straight or even to have a profession.

Its hard to describe without sounding like a pervert, but i think i got my point across.
You have obviously never been to Japan.

Because games, like movies and books, are a storytelling art. And, like any other form of literature, there are lines that should not be crossed. Having sex in a game is one thing, and it's becoming more acceptable, but then the question is why? Having sex for no reason in a story *cough*GODOFWAR*cough* just narrows the audience and, honestly, is a cop-out. Why bother making a good game or a good story when you know that people will come as long as the game has boobies?

I think a story should only have sex if it's necessary to the story: anything else is just a selling ploy.
I entirely agree with this. 'Nuff said.

Why are you all twisting my words?

I made this thread yonks ago to start with, so I'll make it 5 times clearer.

Fallout 3 is my example and I'll stick with it. Humans, what is the main instincts of us? To survive, so we find ourselves naturally eating and drinking, and our bodies give us the signals to do this.

But that is short term survival, our bodies also tell us to reproduce, by various desires.

Now everyone gets the urge to simply have sex, its unexplained, you yourself wonder WHY you want to so much.

The reason why your not going out raping and murdering is because of our punishment system, we did not built cities with public raping, we did it with team effort (As corny as it sounds, no animal, insect nor human society has been able to create a functional society without team effort).

BUT what if we removed the need to work together? Or the punishment system? We are left with complete instinct and logic, but at least a few people would work on instinct.

Now, say you are a Raider in Fallout 3, you have no law but yourself, and would simply go for base pleasures and sadism. Rape itself isn't force sexual assault, its a removal of power and Sadists crave the idea of making someone feel completely helpless.

Now with all that out the way, my argument simply is, if its a simulater, why not simulate everything? It doesn't have to be in depth, graphical and important, maybe just a pop up saying "You had sex" and gain health health?
You have obviously still not been to Japan.
