• Pregnancy lasts 4 months (120 days), infants grow very quickly (see notes on growth an maturity below)
  • To explain the difference between Adopted and Trained children from Fertility Mode, hybridizes a sense of realism while still allowing me to play the character without the character being “forever pregnant”, and gives reasonable chance for multiple pregnancies to occur.

 

• There are 3 primary stages for the people of Tamriel - Child, Adult, and Elder. Transitions between these stages is usually very swift. For example, Infancy is arguably a sub-stage of the Child stage, but transitions into the full Child stage roughly 1 month after birth. When the Child stage comes to an end, it will similarly take approximately 1 month to transition into the Adult stage, and so on with the Elder stage and inevitably death. These stages are measured purely by physical development, and due to the very obvious and drastic changes between these stages, it's effectively impossible to mistake one stage for another.

 

• Though all people reach the Child stage at the same time, progressing to the Adult stage varies by race. Humans and Beastfolk reach adulthood between 16 and 19 years of age, while Elves don't reach adulthood until between 40 and 50.
  • Though I may send any children characters give birth to into the "Training" pool from Fertility Mode, I believe it's very unlikely that I will end up 'summoning' any of them. However, they will be there just in case (and if nothing else, I can reference whatever name the child has if necessary).

 

• Most commonly encountered creatures (non-humanoids) are male, primarily predators (Wolves, Skeevers, Sabercats, etc.). Female predators aggressively avoid humanoids and their settlements in the interest of securing offspring.
  • To explain why almost all of these creatures have dicks.

 

• Due to the scarcity of appropriate mating partners, male predators have developed a tendency to pursue female humanoids in an attempt to mate with them. However, their success is relatively rare and the even rarer reports of pregnancy from these encounters have only yielded humanoid offspring.
  • To explain why characters can get pregnant from animals and why the children aren’t cubs.

 

• Giants, while arguably not animals or predators, have been noted to be in a similar situation to the common wildlife. While female giants are occasionally seen in their camps, male giants have been reported to copulate with females of smaller races - though this is more of a retaliatory action than for the purpose of producing offspring, offspring can still result from these retaliations.
  • Self-explanatory

 

• Insectoids reproduce asexually and effectively have no “gender”. Their egg production and laying is relatively slow, and lay eggs in large mounds to facilitate incubation and higher chances of viability. However, it has been reported that humanoid females who come upon an insectoid nest, or are otherwise attacked and captured by insects, have had eggs deposited into them. It is theorized that this is an alternative breeding strategy, as the female body provides strong natural incubation for the eggs, reducing incubation time and providing a higher viability rate.
  • To explain Chaurus/Spider “eggnancy”
  • I have modified Baka's Fill Her Up and Fertility Mode to coordinate with each other and modify sperm counts in Fertility Mode based on the value in Fill Her Up. If the FHU value is 0, then the creature is sterile and produces no sperm. I have set Spiders and Chaurus to have a FHU value of 0.

 

• All male creatures - humanoid or not - have developed large genitals and volumes of ejaculate for their size. Female humanoids have in turn developed a very resilient and elastic physicality, allowing their various orifices to accept larger penises than what would otherwise be anatomically possible, as well as retain large quantities of semen within their uterus and/or stomach, even to the extent of appearing heavily pregnant. It has also been noted that if a sufficiently large volume of semen is deposited into the uterus, the female will spontaneously ovulate regardless of her cycle and the sheer volume of semen ensures fertilization. While the exact cause of these trait developments is ultimately unknown, it is theorized that the above-mentioned observations have each played a role in varying capacities.
  • To explain the unrealistic body physics and the "forced pregnancy" mechanic of Baka's Fill Her Up

 

• Women must purchase licenses to own weapons or armor, to use magic or enchanted items, and to be out at night. These laws were enacted in order to prevent women from endangering themselves. The exorbitant prices of these licenses makes it crucial for the women to be confident that the money will not go to waste, which drastically reduces the likelihood that said woman will be captured or killed. However, though seemingly counterproductive, a license variation exists for Armor and Curfew, both of which add certain restrictions and obligations.
  • The "Bikini Armor" license allows women to wear armor, but only the "Bikini" variations of them that first appeared on female bandits. These armor variations are confiscated from captured bandit women and resold, but are also created by smiths when supply is low. Additionally, a curse is added to the license which forces the women to continuously wear skimpy clothes until the curse is removed, otherwise they become exhausted. This restricts their travel as certain holds forbid such attire.
  • Though the description of Sexlab Survival notes that players can carry non-bikini armor legally, I do not believe this is accurate. It was a while ago since this has happened, but if I remember correctly, having only a Bikini License will result in full armors being confiscated. However, even if I am wrong I will be proceeding as if this were the case.
  • The "Whore" license is a cheap version of the Curfew license, but upon purchase the woman becomes one of the hold's "Public Whores" and is obligated to meet a sexual quota, lest she face punishment, and is not allowed to leave the city while she is "on duty". There is rarely more than one Public Whore at a time.
  • The thought process behind these license variations argues that most women wouldn't want to shame themselves in either of these ways and discourages them from attempting to get the more expensive licenses. However, some women do still purchase them for one reason or another, but most of the time it is naivety or being unaware of the consequences.
    • To explain the Sexlab Survival license system in the most reasonable way I can think of

 

• There are variations of female clothing and armor which are designed to accentuate their bodies and incite sexual desire. It is unknown if this is a result of culture (such as expressing availability to male suitors), a stylistic choice by females, or a combination of multiple factors. However, these styles seem most popular among the Forsworn and various Bandit Gangs, whom are all fairly deviant as it is. It is uncommon to see women wearing skimpy outfits in officially recognized settlements, unless they are pursuing the life of adventure and are short on funds.
  • Loose explanation for sexualized gear

 

• Though rudimentary contraceptives exist, pregnancy abortion is outlawed in the interest of protecting the woman. This is due to the dangerous nature of attempting abortions with their technology, and magical means are currently underdeveloped.
  • This is a personal choice for the story and for gameplay. If abortions were "allowed" in this story, then pregnancy becomes effectively pointless. I want pregnancy to be meaningful to the characters in some way. Each character will respond differently to pregnancy, as well as the circumstances of their pregnancy, and I don't want to remove that story-telling element. This is not some kind of "virtue signal". However you decide to play your game is none of my business and this should not be taken as a statement on such.

 

• Many other dangers lurk in the wilds. Crypts, dungeons, and hideouts across the land harbor devious and humiliating traps to ward off or subdue intruders, placed there by their wicked inhabitants, strange and grotesque infections have developed in response to the change in female physicality, and even the reclusive Falmer have begun braving the sunlit world to find breeding stock. I pity the women of Tamriel. It truly does seem everything is out to get them.
  • To explain as much of the remainder as possible.

• Heterosexual Intercourse
• Homosexual Intercourse (F-F)
• Cum Inflation
• BDSM
• Rape
• Sexual Slavery/Sex Trafficking

  • Child NPCs will never have any sexual act performed on them or by them, nor will any child NPC be naked under any circumstances

If the text is within a set of brackets [], this is a Narration. Sometimes these narrations can get rather long, so please be mindful of if you see an opening or closing bracket. I will do my utmost to ONLY use brackets in this situation, and nothing else.

 

If you see text that is both BOLD and ITALICIZED - example - this is a non-dialogue vocalization. What are these? The best example I can give is *GASP* - *MOAN* - and the like. Basically, this is how I'm condensing phrases such as "Character gasps in disbelief" or "Character growls with anger". It's more efficient and immersive to be able to separate the 'sound' and the explanation for the sound. These could be included in dialogue lines as outlined below if the same character is making the noise in the middle of what they're saying.

 

• Dialogue will look like this: Speaker (details/voice tone): "What they Say"
• "Speaker" is the character saying the stuff.
• "(details/voice tone)" is the emotion or tone conveyed by the speaker, along with other relevant details, when necessary. Basically, if this is NOT present, you can assume a generally relaxed/casual manner of speaking, or an otherwise 'obvious' tone or emotion conveyed in context of the conversation. This will be used when a tone shift is otherwise not obvious or stated, and for keeping track of many speakers involved in a single dialogue sequence.
• "What they say" should be obvious. If somehow it's not, I don't know what to say to you... Hah. Puns.

Lastly, ITALICIZED text in Curly Brackets - {example} - is a note from me, but NOT me as the narrator. If you see this, I'm either explaining something to you that I couldn't otherwise in-story, or you've reached the end of the post and I'm trying to tell you something - probably something related to the story somehow.

Other than these instances, the story will be written mostly in "1st Person", aka from the Main Character's point of view, with their thoughts and experiences being the majority of the content.

Cultural Stances on Sex and Nudity

 

Humans

 

Bretons

Bretons are known to be fairly sexually active, particularly in their nobility, and are extremely casual about sex. Additionally, nudity is not a big deal in Breton culture, especially considering the prevalence of Prostitution in High Rock to the point that erotic dancers would perform publicly during festivals. Therefore, Bretons are unlikely to take any offence to wearing little or no clothing in any situation.

 

Redguards

Redguards have a similarly casual approach to sex and nudity, but the level of acceptance tends to vary by individual community. Very little is known beyond this.

 

Imperials

Imperials are less casual about sex and nudity than Bretons or Redguards, but it isn't frowned upon either in most cases. However, it's unlikely that public nudity would be taken very well from a social standpoint, despite it being unlikely to be illegal.

 

Nords

Nords are among the most conservative people regarding sex and nudity, with the topic itself usually remaining 'behind closed doors' and worship of Dibella through acts of intercourse is treated as 'obscene' and 'over zealous' by their communities. Nudity in circumstances beyond necessity (such as bathing) or sex between lovers is frowned upon in pretty much every circumstance.

 

Elves

 

Bosmer

The only race to be more casual about sex than the Bretons, Bosmer are so casual about sex that it's one of their more common topics of conversation even to the point that sex is a topic frequently discussed simply to alleviate boredom. On top of this, many - though not all - Bosmer relationships (even marriages) are 'open' relationships where both partners will regularly have sex with others. Additionally, Bosmer have an average of 12 children per family.

 

Altmer

The Altmer are arguably THE most conservative race on average concerning sex and nudity. A large number of Altmer, particularly those in positions of power and/or nobility, are heavily concerned with bloodline purity - even to the point of practicing eugenics. Additionally, these Altmer consider sex with any non-Altmer the same as bestiality and therefore a disgusting practice. Despite this obsession over bloodline purity, incest is also frowned upon but would be acceptable as some kind of 'last resort'. Lastly, discussing sex in any manner is almost always reserved for the couple in question and is an extremely private matter.

 

However, it needs to be said that not all Altmer hold these stances and beliefs. At worst, if you are not an Altmer (or not a pure-blooded Altmer), the odds are 50/50 of encountering an Altmer that thinks of you as no more than an animal. Therefore, the general attitude towards sex and nudity one could reasonably and fairly attribute to the Altmer is equivalent to the Nordic attitude.

 

Dunmer

The attitude towards sex and nudity in Dunmer culture is, to a far less extreme degree, very similar to Altmer culture. Sex is a conversation almost always kept behind closed doors and between the participants in question. Although, once behind said closed doors, Dunmer are rather open to a variety of sexual acts and tend to be among the more kinky races. However, the Dunmer are unlikely to admit this publicly or during casual conversation. This creates an interesting duality where Dunmer are 'liberally conservative' about sex and the conservatism mainly stems from a desire to maintain appearances. Though many Dunmer do believe in maintaining a purity of bloodline, they do not go to the lengths that Altmer do in pursuit of this bloodline purity.

 

Orsimer

The Orcs have two separate stances on sex and nudity, depending on which deity their community/stronghold worships:

 

Those who follow Malacath hold the stance that only the chief (whether male or female) is the only one allowed to have sex with other members of the stronghold. However, in very large communities, it is common for certain members to be 'unofficially married' behind closed doors.

 

Those who follow Trinimac are much closer to other cultures where members of the community may have sex with, and marry, whomever they choose.

 

Aside from this, almost nothing is known about Orcish sexual customs.

 

Beastfolk

 

Khajiit

The Khajiit have a rather complicated relationship with sex and nudity.

 

Generally speaking, the Khajiit are on the same level as the Bosmer or Bretons as far as casualty towards sex, but are also one of the few known races where group intercourse is commonly practiced and seen as 'normal'. However, it's unlikely that the Khajiit simply have sex whenever they please. The reason being is that the phases of the moons at the time of a Khajiit's birth determines what type (aka: furstock) of Khajiit is born. Therefore, Khajiit are likely to be very conscious of the timing of their sexual escapades (or at least the females would be) in order to give birth to the furstock they desire is they are impregnated.

 

Nudity, likewise, is a complicated matter. Certain furstocks of Khajiit have extremely different characteristics compared to others. The most extreme examples of this are the Alfiq (which look like common housecats), the Senche (which look like a large cross-breed between lions and tigers), and the Ohmes (which are almost indistinguishable from Bosmer unless thoroughly examined). Due to these extreme variances, the acceptance of nudity is likely highly situational and dependent on the furstock. For example, an Alfiq will probably have very little use for most forms of clothing outside of a stylistic choice or magical augmentations via enchanted items, whereas a caravan of Ohmes trading with non-Khajiit will likely need clothes to fit in with other cultures or keep themselves warm when necessary. Lastly, location is likely to play a factor as well. Elsweyr has a very warm and humid climate, meaning it is unlikely that a Khajiit of any furstock would have a strict need for clothing while in their homeland. However, particularly in Skyrim, Khajiit are frequently heard complaining about the cold and would likely need clothing to keep warm, despite their natural fur.

 

Argonians

The Argonians are unique among the races of Tamriel in multiple ways, and their stances upon sex and nudity are no exception.

 

Argonians are rather casual about sex and do not have any rituals or customs concerning marriage or anything equivalent to marriage, therefore they simply seek out sexual pleasure whenever it is convenient for them. It is likely that the Argonians hold a similar stance on nudity as the Khajiit and wear clothes when it is more convenient than not, or when it is necessary to integrate into non-Argonian communities.

 

Prostitution

Prostitution is very much present on Tamriel. From the more famous and publicly active Prostitute's Guild in High Rock to the more subtle and low-key tavern whores of Skyrim, prostitution is not exactly 'new'. However, the legality of this practice varies from province to province, with High Rock and Morrowind being the most prominent havens for such employment while the others seem to tolerate it at varying levels. Cyrodiil is also a rather profitable area for the Prostitute's Guild and this has resulted in Dibella being one of the most popular deities in the region.

 

Procreation/Breeding

Who can knock-up who?

Generally speaking, any race of Human or Elf can successfully procreate with each other. However, Humans have a much easier time having children with other Humans and likewise Elves have an easier time procreating with other Elves. There is no need for the Humans or Elves to be the exact same race. For example, a Nord and a Redguard can have children just as easily as two Nords can.

 

The Beastfolk are a very different story. Khajiit are not known to have produced children with any race other than another Khajiit, but some sources have claimed that they are capable of breeding with Elves - though this has not been confirmed. The Argonians, however, were intentionally designed by the Hist Trees to be incapable of breeding with non-Argonians. It should be noted Argonians do have sexual organs with identical functions to mammals (penis and testicles for males; vagina, ovaries, and breasts for females) and therefore can bear, birth, and feed their offspring in a mammalian fashion if required for one reason or another.

 

What flavor of bun is in my oven?

In the vast majority of circumstances, the race of the child matches the race of the mother. Therefore, if a Nord impregnates an Imperial, they're almost certainly going to have an Imperial child. However, there have been prominent cases where the child was born of the father's race instead, as well as scattered reports of children having characteristics of both the mother's and father's races. Ultimately though, it's very reasonable to expect that the child will be of the mother's race. It should be noted though that this is only concerning physical traits. Personalities, mannerisms, and so on will still mix as you would expect in the real world.

Cultural Stances on Sex and Nudity

When researching the official stances of sex and nudity between the races of Tamriel, what I learned turned out rather favorable for me. I was genuinely surprised at how many races were very open and casual about sex. Therefore, I don't see much reason to tweak any of the official lore from this category since it already seems to match the vision for my story.

 

However, there are a few interpretations I have made from the official lore described above and would like to outline them now:

 

Redguards

I believe it is likely that communities located in or around the Alik'r Desert are the most casual in regards to nudity due to the lack of clothing being convenient for staying cool during the day. Additionally, many Redguard settlements would likely have been influenced by the neighboring Bretons of High Rock to some capacity and therefore the culture would have rubbed off on the Redguards (pun absolutely intended).

 

Bosmer

I would not be surprised if it is common for Bosmer families to be comprised of multiple mothers and/or fathers, therefore ballooning the sizes of families extensively to 30+ children on average full of half brothers and sisters.

 

Orsimer

It is my interpretation that in Orc communities devoted to Malacath, the chief effectively has a harem of Females or Males that the chief can demand sex from at any time. Communities devoted to Malacath always have the strongest Orc as the leader, and therefore are in a similar vein to Altmer in the sense that they try to breed the strongest possible successors. However, it seems unlikely that the chief would attempt to impregnate every female in a specific community, let alone have sex with all of them, unless the community is still very small - in which case, it's more likely that they would attempt to overtake a different community to expand the pool of females.

 

By extension, it would make sense to me that as far as nudity is concerned, each community would have its own culture of modesty (or lack thereof). I would certainly understand the argument that a lack of armor and/or clothing shows greater strength against your foes and/or the elements.

 

Procreation/Breeding

I have decided that, since Wolves, Sabrecats, Trolls, Bears, and so on have the capability of impregnating females, there's no reason Khajiit or Argonians should be excluded, especially considering Argonians have all of the necessary body parts to theoretically breed with the other races anyways.

 

Sexual Education & Children Exposed to Sex and Nudity

Eventually, children need to be taught about sex because they're going to learn one way or another. This is no less true in The Elder Scrolls. Therefore, from my interpretation of the different races' stances on sex and nudity, it would make sense that children are taught about sex fairly quickly.

 

Additionally, with how casual about sex and nudity most races of Tamriel are, this would logically result in many - if not all - children growing up in those societies would commonly see naked men and women. Bosmer and Breton children in particular would almost certainly encounter sexual intercourse at an extremely young age. This also means that those children more than likely wouldn't be bothered by it.

 

However, the more conservative races are a harder question to answer. Obviously they would need to still be taught about sex, but their exposure to it would be extremely limited. Therefore, I'm going to work under the assumption that all children are taught about sex at the same age but children from the more sexually conservative races are just more shy and embarrassed if/when they encounter nudity or sexual acts (and maybe the parents will play a role in the interaction as well, depending on circumstance).

 

However, I will never allow pedophilia to even be a conceivable concept for any character in my stories.

Immersion/Realism.

 

It doesn't make sense for me to play a game where my character or the NPCs can get pregnant, yet not see ANY children in the game at all. It's that simple.

 

If you don't like seeing children in your game, that's perfectly fine. You play the game the way you want and I'll play the game the way I want. Just bear in mind that my stories are derived from how I play the game.

Sexual Abuse is defined as 'abusive sexual behavior by one person upon another'. The definition of a Pedophile/Pedophilia is an adult with sexual attraction to children/minors (most commonly under 13 year of age). To be a Pedophilic Sex Offender you must commit Sexual Abuse of a Minor. However, video game characters are not real. Therefore, video game characters are not people. Therefore, sexual abuse of a video game character is not possible. If sexual abuse of a video game character is not possible, therefore pedophilia towards a video game character is not possible.

 

You have every right to think something is weird, just remember to separate fiction and reality. That's why the word 'children' was put in quotation marks for this section, because they're not really children, they're just a bunch of 1s and 0s.
