Someone explain in-game sex to me. . .

after seeing the discussion in the other thread, I realized that I did this wrong. That i should have asked the question in a more adversarial way and that I should try to use opinion as fact. therefore here's a rewrite...

 

Why are you people using sex mods in skyrim? Haven't you heard of redtube or xhamster? There's plenty of other ways to get porn. Sex mods completely break lore and are not realistic at all. You just need to get out of your moms basement and go get laid.

 

Let the protracted discussion begin!

 

 

lol, "go you"!

 

but for meh, is a simple answer to OP: It's makes the game, uh -- Sexier -- simple that.

I am a big fan of hobbiest expansion of content. Be it full conversion mods for strategy games like total war (which makes me feel like I just got 15 games for the price of 1) or just new areas or character skins for other games.

Like Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas was a similiar situation for me, I enjoyed adding some "adult" content to it. Where as the vanilla version was so bland and missing out on so much potential. I mean it was a mature rated title set in a post apocalyptic wasteland with slaves yet none of their captors do anything to really hold total power over them? Pfft, the modding community added nude slaves onto caesars crucifixes, brothels onto the strip, and gave you the ability to be a pimp or a whore yourself.

With mods, it's an enjoyment in itself to get them to work since learning to use mods gives you a noticable reward and makes you more mod savy for future games.

I started out using mods for Total War games, moved on to Eroge games from Illusion and Teatime and then learned a ton about getting mods to run thanks to the gents and ladies at Hongfire, Uppervolta, and Zodgame. I think that the ablity to adapt the content to the individual consumers desires is a great thing overall and a way to have talented programmers showcase their art.

Whether it's changing the color of leaves, adding footsteps in the snow, or adding some erect elf nipples to an Rpg in dire need of them, every bit of modification is an endeavour that can be shared and showcased all around the world regardless of language barrier or cultural difference.

When it comes to the whole "why are you into adult modding" I guess ultimately it comes down to my enjoyment of experiencing other peoples hard work and being a part of a community of mature adult individuals who can do things not many people know how to do.

 

I feel like It's just human nature to want to make something better and human sexuality shouldn't be entirely left out of that.

personally, i never thoughts game as a sex "expand reality" but i do admit rpg can trigger alot of *real* feeling when playing a game, i know i was stuck with tibia for years  :s

 

 but overall what peeps decide to do with their game experience is their own thaang, u know what i mean.

 

nothen wrong eith it as long it stays in rpg, in extreme cases it must be rpg:o

 

rpg and reality is 2 different stuff^^

 

in rpg your fantasy is bringing u along in the game wich make the impossible possible and that is i belive the goal among all rpg games and what makes it special.

so conclusion, theres nothing wrong with any o peeps version of fantasy since it is their own fantasy and it is a game :D and very moddable so your fantasy can be customized by you =P

Wow.  Necro post, big time.

 

But, since it happened and I wasn't here when the thread started.  Monsto's original question was, "Why have sex in Skyrim when you can just watch porn on the Internet?"

 

My answer:  Why have sword fighting or magic in Skyrim when you can just watch Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones?

Yeah...I'll participate in the necromantic rituals also:

 

First of all, I hate watching actual hardcore porn. Just seems to debase the act. Though I may have to stomach some of it while getting ideas for some new animations.

 

However, in Skyrim, I can roleplay the scenes and shape them anyway I want. I may dislike outright porn, but I love sensuality...with a bit of female dominance thrown in. The sex scenes I use in Skyrim reflect this...and add a layer of realism and maturity to the game. A good comparison is the way the Vikings series on the History Channel uses sex in its storytelling. Also, see the old movie, Emmanuelle (1974) for this effect. Game of Thrones is a bit overboard, imho.

 

tldr: I allow sex in Skyrim to enchance my roleplaying.

Since you can see all that sex on the web, what's the point of having sex in real life?

 

Answer that question to my (and your) satisfaction and then I'll use that answer to help you understand why we have added it to the game because the two are related.

 

If you, or anyone that 'liked' your post, are seriously trying to equate any type of digital porn as a reasonable facsimile of real sex, then I'm not the one that needs to define the difference.

 

 

Pretty sure Waxen’s first question was rhetorical. Porn (whether with real actors or 3D characters) is nothing like real sex. Yet many people still watch it for various reasons.

As for why someone would choose sex in a video game over going to fucktube.com or similar, here are a few reasons:

1. It’s different and humans are curious and crave variety

 

2. It’s more interactive, since your proxy is engaged in the action rather than simply watching. Or at the very least, you are in control of what happens between the characters.

 

3. (With Skyrim) you are more familiar with the world. You’re a part of it. You get to know the characters and so that gives you more context. (Depending on how you play it.) Gives a more GFE feel.

 

4. Like others have said it adds to immersion. With all the NPC beautification mods I’m sure plenty of us have seen a nice looking lady (or stud) and been like: “Hey Baby, how you doin’ ;)”, but now you can actually do it in game, and it could lead somewhere. (Or if you have the right mods installed they might tell you to bugger off if you speechcraft is too low XD). It’s a fun little division that makes the world feel more interesting when on break from dragon slaying.

 

I’m sure there are other/similar reasons many of which others have already expressed but I think these are the major ones for people who enjoy it, rather than trying them merely out of boredom or technical interest.

Wow, you sucked that one in from a very long time ago (almost 3 years). Have gotten over the have sex with everyone and everything phase just because it was funny though. I keep the sex in my game because it allows me another direction for developing the character of my player that the vanilla game lacks.

Well, here's how i see it. For one, part of it comes to control, i think. Much as Skyrim's gotten a lot higher-res over the years thanks to the modders, it's still nowhere near the real thing (however, it's reasonably realistic-looking if you have the proper textures, ENB, so on and so forth). But, it's controllable. You're deciding on the actors, animations, scenes, so on and so forth. Creating your own porn for yourself.

 

I personally don't use SL and the like in my regular playthroughs nowadays (or really at all other than as a prerequisite mod, since i do my custom work as noted below), instead i pretty much keep the lewd stuff separate to use for my pictures and stories here.

 

And that's a key word here. "Stories". Some people, myself included, basically use Skyrim as a repurposed 3D rendering program when doing this stuff, so we can tell a story. I can speak for my own methods at least; i make all my poses myself in 3DS Max, i create whole cells and landscape scenes in the CK, use Racemenu to create custom faces for my own NPC's and characters, make texture and mesh edits, all manner of shenanigans when making a scene. And it's all so i can properly tell the story i want. I'm telling an on-going story, with my story blog entries and out-of-blog posts contributing to the story, and i put all this effort so i can do the story justice. I try to hold my work to a certain level of quality.

 

What i'm getting at is, i'm not just doing this to make boner fuel. It's a factor, of course, but i also include it to show that part of the relationship the characters in my story have. It's all custom work, not something i can just go magically find on Pornhub or something.

 

As for why? Because i like making stories, i like the TES series, and i like boobs. Put two and two together.

 

 

Sorry if that was a little disjointed, it's late and i'm tired :v.

My reason is simple. I just enjoy erotica as a whole.

 

Whether it's put in well or not doesn't matter, the sheer fact that it's there simply piques my interests more than if it wasn't. Some people like to have RPG elements in any game they play, others will play anything if it's a FPS. I enjoy a bit, or a lot, of sexuality in my games, simple as that. It's a subject that fascinates me.

Yeah... honestly, I saw this thread near the top of the forums resently, and started reading without really checking the dates. Wasn't until way later that I noticed how old it was. :P

Watching a porn is a passive activity that you can't interfere with, while sex in a game is more interactive. It also adds some extra spice to your game. I get bored really quick when watching internet porn, but SexLab had me engaged a lot more.

Have you ever seen serious darkelf porn on the web? :P 

I don't think so. So the answer is just that simple. I get what I always wanted, plus, it's free. :D 

And as I'm a roleplayer too, it enhances my experience with the game a lot!~

I mean... what's the point in marriage if you can't even share a good time with your spouse? O.o

The more revealing question is why doesn't this fantasy world have any sex in it?  Because video games are still seen as child's play.

That makes no sense. It has nothing to do with games being seen as "child's play", developers just don't want to reduce the potential customer base by adding sex.

There are countless books out there that don't feature sex, and books certainly aren't seen as being purely a medium for children.

 

Besides, there are plenty of M and AO rated games, so your premise isn't even accurate.

It's about interactivity, in a non cheaply made browser environment. Also about the possibility existing within a game which on its own is already quite diverse(Especially with mods) and rich with various systems. So, in other words, immersion. One could ask why are people even playing Sims, truth is with these mods the mechanic(What goes on in your head) is the same. There is a desirable frame, a desirable context, ETC, we set up or the scripts set up a situation and we let it play out, while being able to participate actively. Also exactly because it's got vast customization options, it will of course draw you in just the right way.

 

Add some mods to a game like Skyrim, you get a really, really good interactive... Uhm. Porn simulator? For lack of better terms. You get "The Porns" instead of the Sims. OK cheap shallow joke... :/ Oh and you're in direct control, not just influencing NPCs and your character. It's less AI driven for the player.

 

Depending on the mods, you can also sort of taste a bit more than you could, or would, than in real life. That's always refreshing and can trigger some quite deep exploration within. I mean, you're here asking already, aren't you? :D

 

PS. The question sounds a bit like someone asking "Why do you guys watch porn? Go get laid". Which is a very flawed arguement for way too many reasons. Heard of Yandere Simulator? Why does that even exist? The things you can do there are absolutely insane if you take a second to think about it. However the answer is the same. And in a virtual environment where noone gets hurt, everything goes I guess.

The idea that people could look at these two women and not think they are pretty, that's weird to me. They are especially pretty to me because I designed every part of them to be exactly what I want, and I have spent hours questing around Skyrim with them, hearing them talk and watching them fight.

You can have them follow you around and dance, pose and have sex with whatever you want to see.

 

The idea that somebody would not be turned on by this is weird to me. I know it's actually normal and I'm the one who's weird, but I feel bad for anyone who can't just touch their junk to this and feel extremely good. You are missing out big time.

 

Of course if I had a real girlfriend I would ignore this, and jerking off in general, but I do not have one.

I... Can confirm that... Being with someone doesn't mean you leave certain things behind. Nor should you, to be exact. It's all about balance IMHO. And some things will never replace other things.


.....Or I'm just weird like that. I'd like to think otherwise regardless of anyone's opinion.
