Get some goddamn pants on!

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

The gaestatae "streaking will get me in trouble. Could you put a least a loincloth on him?

[Reenk Roink]

In the "Known issues and current projects" thread:

- adding a modesty patch to the gaesatae as an installer option so those poor, innocent people who can be wholly corrupted by naked pixels don't soil themselves

~;)

(and yes, I will be downloading it)

[Wardo]

I'd like to cover them because when I watch them brawl in the middle of so many blades swinging crazily all around, I can't avoid but think...what if they get hit...there...:inquisitive: :skull:

[PSYCHO V]

Yup.. the unit is modellled with an alphable loin cloth. Similar to how CA did theirs. So you'll be able to employ a PC version of these guys next build.

[Ypoknons]

Maybe it should be reversed so that there is a nude patch prominently shown on the main site with a note that "this is more historically accurcate".

[Steppe Merc]

Why? If people care enough to not see naked Celts, they can download it. Otherwise, we want it to be as historical as possible, and that includes naked guys... :inquisitive:

[Sarcasm]

It's just a dick. You people need to work out some issues.

[Arman616]

It's just a dick. You people need to work out some issues.

Seriously. Get over it.

[Shigawire]

lol-thread of the day :2thumbsup:

[Reenk Roink]

Well ok, I don't want to be staring at dicks while I enjoy EB. Now it's not like I requested the "modesty patch" (good name guys :2thumbsup:) but since the team made it, I'm going to use it.

[Sarcasm]

The question you have to answer yourself is...why are you even staring at their dicks?

[Reenk Roink]

My attention goes there OK? They're different from the other units and so of course my eye would wander there. Are you seriously trying to imply something?

[Sarcasm]

I have them on my game and I don't even notice most of the time that they're naked. And if I happen (or want) to look at one of their virtual penises, I don't get bugged by it. I'm just pointing out that it is ridiculous how in the 21st century people are still disturbed by body-parts.

And no. I'm not implying you're gay (let's just say it, it's a ridiculous taboo as well), nor would there be a problem if you were (or are). If you were and had the same reaction towards these units, I'd be saying exactly the same thing.

The man in your sig would have gotten a kick out of them :wink: .



-edit-
Oh and btw, I'm pretty sure the original poster meant that he'd get in trouble if parents or someone walked in the room and saw it, not that he personally minded so much. No need to get upset at him for that.

[Sarcasm]

I'm not upset. I'm disapointed mostly.






Whatever...who cares...

[Reenk Roink]

I don't get bugged by it. I'm just pointing out that it is ridiculous how in the 21st century people are still disturbed by body-parts.


OK, well that's how you feel. What if someone was religious or had small children around? Or, what if someone like myself prefers non-naked to naked when both options are available? I don't think its ridiculous to feel that way and I live in the 21st century...

EDIT:

:laugh4: Wonderland...

[Steppe Merc]

Which is why the patch will be released. But we figured it would be better to release it now, rather than hold up OB for the patch.

[Sarcasm]

Yeah, they might be scarred for life. You never know. It can happen.

[Dooz]

Yeah, they might be scarred for life. You never know. It can happen.

Ah, there's the sarcasm kicking in. For the record, I prefer the realistic, naked models and will continue to slaughter them, en mass.

If you don't mind me asking Sarcasm, why are you disappointed?

[Sarcasm]

I'm disapointed at how the world is turning to ultra-conservatism, and not even realizing it.


But, hey...it's everyone's right to be so as much as they want.

[Byzantine Prince]

If the world was more conservative shouldn't we NOT care about nudity more? After all the pagans were there before the christians. Conservative should mean liberal in this case. :laugh4:

But I agree with you on everything else you have stated. It is very stupid to be offended by something like that. Even if the parents see it, so what? It isn't even real, you can see a portrayal of a penis in sex ed class in the US, and also Biology books. It isn't like it is porn. You EB modders are good but you are no hentai artists. :brood:

Yes I am pissed off you did not include naked chicks in the game. :no:

[Ypoknons]

I actually do applaud the nudity but we live in the world that we live in. Let's not make this into a politic debate shall we - I just don't think that having a naked soildier is worth any potential follies EB could get itself into with various counties laws'. Yes, probably nothing will happen, but my suggustion is to play it safe.

[Sarcasm]

IMO that's basically the only motivation for the PC version. No such problems in Europe...yet.

[Reenk Roink]

I was going to write a long reply, but you know what, forget it...

What's the point with people like you?

[Sarcasm]

None. I already said it was your right. And I also agreed with Ypoknons.

[Papewaio]

So you need a patch for a patch?

You could always not scroll in and take a longer distant view.

I hope the requirements for a patch are not because the viewers feel threatened.

Oh look a decapitation. Gah! Sweet.
Oh look a tiny penis. Oh I'm scared for life.
Oh look a double decapitation... both heads. Oh sweet, no! Gah! I'm scared for life. That is not the way head soup should be. :laugh4:

Mind you if you are screaming at the monitor, with your face right up to it. Shouting faster, get him now! and your parents or child walk in you might have a few things to explain.

[PSYCHO V]

Look guys, this really isn't a big deal.

We'll have a nice little toggle button in the options panel that will allow you to frock or de-frock to your frocking delight!!

No offence, but much of this discussion is rather redundant imo.

sorry

take off your clothes stand in front of the mirror

learn to love what you see

Damn I used to play EB in the raw till I accidentally sharted on the seat :oops:

Why not try one of these wonderful poop-absorbent seat covers; for all your EB sharting defense needs.

I'm alright with the nudity myself, it's just that my parents don't have the same feeling.

If you don't mind me asking Sarcasm, why are you disappointed?

Slaughter them, en mass? :inquisitive:

Are we talking about the same Gaesatae here?

[Wandarah]

I like the fact ya'll are playing a game where total slaughter of the enemy is the goal - but heaven forbid a little virtual diddle is shown if you zoom in.

[Ragabash]

Yes, also i am having nightmares due the fact I can see pixel guys killing each other in the battlefield. It is sad that historically correct mod for game need to have violence and sexism in it. Give my EB guys boffers and make them wear happier colors, such as pink, blue and yellow.

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/lbrenton/boffer.jpg

PS. Also, if you can make bodies lying on the ground yell stuff such as... "that was a good fight, tomorrow again, would you like to have some tea, etc", it would not break my immersion that they are alive. :idea2:

[Dooz]

Sweet lord, it was already clarified that the problem is not with the player, rather with his parents. If you're under 18, living under your parents' roof and they walk in and your playing a game where a bunch of dudes are running around naked killing eachother, it puts you in an awkward place. Now, if you have parents that don't mind or you don't think they should, that's one thing, but the reality of the matter is that a lot do and so the guy is trying to remedy that.

Aw crap, once again drawn into the redundancy. Is not a lock on this thread appropriate by this point? Not much more can be said than Psycho's post.

[Modestus]

I have only one thing to say on the subject be thankful they cannot form a phalanx!

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Where is the button for getting a loincloth on him. nad also, Like I said millions of times, I'm alright with the nudity, but my mum and dad will not be happy.:wall:

[Sarcasm]

Without trying to further fuel a bashing contest...

Education works both ways. If you act like a kid, they treat you like a kid.

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

If you are saying I'm a kid, well, I'm not a kid. Read this:"Like I said millions of times, I'm alright with the nudity, but my mum and dad will not be happy.:wall:" Mull it over, chew it over. And wash, rinse, and repeat. Until you get a answer to your question.

[Sarcasm]

I wasn't trying to insult you. I'm sorry if I did.

I just assumed if you were an adult, why would you care? Let them deal with it.

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

I'm about 15. So I still live with my parents. Who will not be happy with nudity..

[Wardo]

I haven't seen anyone asking to remove the violent stuff, so those comments are directed into the air. I want to cover them exactly because I love my own, if there's anything I can't imagine, it's getting my own chopped off, and I can't avoid seeking cover to mine when I watch those guys go into battle, because, depenification (:laugh4: ) is something I don't want wandering around my head, exactly because I am too fond of my own. :help:

The best thing about EB is the historical accuracy, but if I change a model or replace a texture, I won't get shouted at, why dick, I mean, pick over this? It's such a SMALL issue anyway. :laugh4:

This topic is about covering the nake fanatics, not about politics, violence or anything else.

If you can't live with people who want it, go mind your own business?! (Your own...get it? Ahh nevermind). :inquisitive:

[Sarcasm]

You're old enough to make a stand IMO. Through reasoning I believe they'd back down.

Plus what are the chances of your parents walking in, walking up to ur computer, then zeroing in the the geseastea's penises? I mean, you'll most likely be doing other things in the battle and zooming in and panning out. It's not like you're always going to be zoomed in on the dicks. Or will you?

[jebes]

You're old enough to make a stand IMO. Through reasoning I believe they'd back down.

Yes, this is exactly the best possible issue to try and use some political capital with his parents. Even if he chose to fight and win this argument, please explain to me how the benfits of being allowed to look at naked men on the computer "as long as it isn't porn" outweighs the negative of trying to explain to your father that you want to be able to see large numbers of simulated naked men, "because they really fought like that. I promise."

[TB666]

Are your parents actually watching you play the game ??
If so then they are fine with you killing thousands of people and exterminate entire cities but would freak out because of a semi-detailed penis ??
*sighs*

[LordElrond]

Wow this went off track... and I think it was around the time that all those nifty-looking seat covers were posted.:laugh4:

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

My mum and dad are fine with violence in games. Well, that's what happened in real life. but my mum would feel uncomfortable (IN a very bad way) and that is not what I want. I hate political correctness too. It's just not worth the hassle explaining to my mum and dad that that's how they thought.

[Ranika]

I'm pretty tired of this subject coming up. There will be a patch for people who prefer to censor those things. No one will be forced to use it, so why do you feel the need to incessently question why anyone would? Who cares? Some people would prefer that, and they'll have the option. As it is, this kind of pissing contest needs to stop, because both sides act immaturely, with some varied mix of whining or self-importance and some smug sense of superiority, which is all very irritating and rude, and needs to stop immediately. All this does is attract bad attention from everyone involved and gets a lot of people unnecessarily upset or confused. The question is answered; there will be a patch for this eventually. No one will be forced to use it. Please drop the subject.

[Sarcasm]

If you choose to look at this simplisticly, then do so. There's the bigger of issue of respecting their son's opinion, and to stay out of things that don't really concern them.

As I said education (not just academical, but the process of becoming a man with it's own opinions, which should be respected) goes both ways.

[Sarcasm]
