Latest DONTNOD game

Some mods could really help make this game look a bit more 'appealing'

[moreraisedcortisol]

+1 to mods for this. It's got 4 females as the main cast but it may be complicated to mod as it jumps between them as teenagers and then 20 years later as adults. So they would need 2 body types to be implemented for each character. Still, the potential is high as it's rare for a game to have the chance to have a nude teen model AND a nude adult model later on. 

 

I've not played it yet as it's episodic and the second tape comes out in April so there's no rush but I'm keeping my eye open for any good mods.

Either we need a mod that drops 40 lbs from her, or puts her in a burqa!

 

$20.00 says if someone puts a mod up on Nexus that does either they'll ban it for 'fat shaming' 😄

[Demonwise]

And they would be right to do so. Just remember not everyone is fat because they want to be. It's a pretty callous and judgmental attitude to take to assume that every person who is overweight got to be that way by stuffing their face with burgers, junk food and sweets.

It's a game and if she is fat it is because the devs want her to be fat. They designed her that way to try and pander to the woke crowd, who are rapidly becoming extinct. So spare us the violins and sympathy for a fictional character. The whole point of fiction is the sky is the limit and you can create a beautiful character if you want, that may not be realistic in real life but in a game is possible - and then the devs go and make a character fat? For what reason? Representation? I'm a guy who likes to workout and be in shape, but I am pretty sure if I was fat I would like to play a game where the characters DON'T look like me and make me feel worse but would rather give me some escapism by letting me play as something I am not, such as an attractive, muscular or sexy male/female. I don't have a problem with fat people in real life, in fact, I always respect anyone overweight that I see grinding hard in the gym to better themselves, but I do really hate the forced inclusion of fat female, androgynous looking female characters in videogames, just to cater to a small minority. Games are escapism... they should remain that way.

In YOUR opinion obviously. It sounds like you're suggesting that every game that has females in it should have them portrayed like Greek goddesses because "escapism." Why did the devs make a character that is overweight? I don't know and I sure as hell know that you don't know. What I do know is that it is far more realistic and relatable than a game where every woman is 'perfect'. If you don't like games that have realistic representation of woman in whatever form they are in then DON'T FUCKING PLAY THE DAMN GAME. Go play skyrim or something where you can make your perfect woman. Throwing around terms like 'woke crowd' shows just how ignorant and judgmental you really are.

Take a break from twitter, lil bro. Not everything is part of your dumb culture war, and not every game has to be brainless 'escapist' slop. Go play Fortnite or Call of Duty or something if all you want to do is 'escape' from your life.

 

I played a bit of the game, and the main character is meant to be a chubby, awkward bullied teenage nerd. It's one of the key plot-points of the game. I don't think the devs should censor their game or creative vision to avoid upsetting anti-woke activists (who largely don't play video games anyway and were certainly not going to play a spiritual sequel to life is strange). 

 

Like imagine watching the Sopranos and having a meltdown because Tony Soprano doesn't look like a k-pop star lmao. Did you also have a meltdown over GTA5 because Trevor isn't hot enough for you?

 

There's no shortage of waifu  slop being churned that serves solely to be 'escapism' for lowest common denominator paypigs. Not sure why you don't just play that instead of trying to censor games being made with actual passion and soul.

99.99% of people who are fat are fat by choice, at least in the sense that the lifestyle they live and the day to day decisions they make cause them to be fat. It's because they consume more calories than their body uses, it's a very simple concept. There are other things that can effect metabolism, but for the most part whether or not you lose weight is just calories in versus calories out. The human body isn't capable of defying the laws of physics by creating energy/matter from nothing. That extra matter in your fupa exists because you put it there.

While your citation of science is accurate you have entirely left out the mental side of things. There are many food disorders that people can and do have that prevent or make it extremely difficult for such a person to have any control over what or how much they eat. I did say most people aren't fat because they WANT to be. Want, implying a sense of choice. Choice, being a mental decision that a person either consciously or unconsciously makes.

This is why I said "99.99%," there are people who eat because they were abused, but this does not include the vast majority of people who are over weight. Lacking will and self-control is not a mental disorder, there are many mentally healthy people who lack both of these. Self-control is like a muscle, it get's stronger the more you use it. And many fat people certainly wish they weren't fat, but their desire to lose weight is not out matched by their desire for gratification. This is why I don't lecture fat people, the way I also don't lecture smokers. They know what they're doing is unhealthy, they just don't care, that's their choice. The day you want badly enough to stop being fat is the day you will actually stop being fat.

Wrong. If you have an eating disorder willpower has nothing to do with anything. People who suffer from various eating disorders do so because of chemical or hormonal issues in their body. If you think you spend your whole life walking in a desert keeping your intake of water to only the barest minimum necessary to stave off dehydration by willpower alone then perhaps you MIGHT have enough willpower to keep yourself from getting fat with an eating disorder. Or imagine living your whole life getting waves of severe nausea every 45-90 min unless you eat something. Would willpower help? Sure, but you're still living a life of absolute misery.  If you think that is something that you can overcome with just willpower then it is abundantly clear that you don't understand how severe many eating disorders are. Medication can help a lot. However, that said, being tied to medications that you have to take your whole life that can potentially be very expensive isn't great either. If you think that only 0.01% of fat people have these issues then you are gravely misinformed.

I'm not reading all that

I just wanted to mention hey this game might be good to mod, that's all

 

And let people decide their own tastes for themselves

Most fat people don't have eating disorders, and yes they can be overcome because I used to have one.

I have to disagree with you on your concept of the numbers of people affected by eating disorders. As for you being someone who has overcome an eating disorder, great. I do actually feel happy for you. I'm not being sarcastic. That said, I think YOU are the 0.01% in this case. I have an eating disorder and have had it my whole life. As it stands, there is no medical science that currently exists to cure it and the only solution is daily medication.

 

All arguments aside, at this point, I think everyone is likely growing tired of the discussion so I won't say more on the topic.  I admit, I was triggered by folks fat shaming, yes, let's call it what it was, fat shaming some characters in a game that they aren't being forced to play.

Agree to disagree, I hope you're able to overcome your eating disorder some day.

You can't fat shame a fictional character because they are not real, therefore don't have any feelings, especially not shame. If you want to lose weight, calculate your macros, eat at a caloric deficit, minimize your sugar intake and start exercising more and you will eventually see weight loss. It really is not complicated. It is basic science. No need to blame your weight problems on eating disorders, unless you have something like Crohns disease which would prevent you GAINING weight easily, but you never hear about those eating disorders... just the guys who eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner and wash it down with a 6L bottle of cola and cry about their "condition" but ignore the reality of the situation. I don't want to play a game as a big ball, unless its We Love Katamari or something.

Hard disagree.  Nothing you said is relevant to character design.  This isn't a sandbox simulation with characters that have functioning metabolisms and genetic defects.  Nobody dies of starvation in these games.  They're free to design their characters however they like, of course, and end users with the desire and the capability are free to modify them however they like.

 

The vast majority of the mods posted about here are about making characters 'more attractive', and if that means making a fat chick skinny or a skinny chick fat, fuck anyone that thinks they have the moral authority to pass judgement on what's an acceptable fantasy.  Nexus deciding what mods are and are not acceptable sucks giant donkey balls, writ large.  Site owners can decide on their moderation policies, of course, and we can and should ridicule stupid decisions.

It is insane what´s going on, all this "debate".

Games, however good or bad, are works of art and belong to their creators. They make a point about society and culture, even when just pandering to all the anti-woke perverts with their silly balloon boob and ass games. Yeah, even these are fun from time to time, but for sure I wouldn´t want every game to be about sex/porn/supermodels/fcking/...

Just ignore any game you don´t like, don´t make any fuss, don´t bother normal people with your politics crap.

We´re not "woke" because we´re stupid or try to trigger you idiots, we´re "woke" because we care about any and all people ! And games are just another extension, or mirror, of society.

Imagine you get ill, become fat, develop mental problems, have an accident and get disabled - is "your" world the world you really wanna live in then ??

Calling someone a "pervert" while frequenting an adult website is pretty typical of someone who has this sort of take, moralizing without any sort of self-awareness. Wanting to see attractive characters isn't even "perverted," it's usually not even sexual. Straight women want to see attractive female characters, and straight men want to see attractive male characters. The less attractive characters there are, the more you will hear people state this desire out loud, it's not hard to understand. Someone thinking that the new model of Jaguar is ugly doesn't mean they want to fuck a car. If car designs start to get worse people will say they want to see more attractive looking cars. This argument has only ever been intended to shame people into submission but it doesn't work. It's like calling someone who occasionally enjoys a beer an alcoholic. In your case, it's like doing it while simultaneously drinking straight liquor during nearly every meal. When you say you don't care about the "political crap," I simply don't believe you. Especially when you frame it as "caring about all people." That's not what any of this is about. Creators should be allowed to make whatever game they want, but that has never been less true than today while the industry is gripped by political activism. I and others will simply support the games we want to see more of, and you're beginning to see the repercussions of that with all of the lay-offs the industry is facing. The market is deciding, that's the way it should be. If people want to enjoy the fat characters in a game, good for them. If people want to mod the fat characters out, awesome. It's your computer mod it how you'd like. If fat people get offended by that, great, don't care.

Having an opposing point of view is not 'insane'.

 

This is the double edged sword of living in a free society, people can and will express contrary points of view.  Attempting to shut down debate can work on a small scale, but guess what, the folks that hold those views don't disappear, and they still get to vote; both in the market and in elections, so you may be in for a very unpleasant surprise if you've artificially squashed debate.

 

There's some valid points from both perspectives that I can see, but also a TON of projection and straw-manning.  I stand by my assertion that Nexus moderation largely sucks.

[ClosetOfDoom]

Guys, this is really the wrong site for this kind of argument, lol. Everyone has personal tastes, body types should never be judged, and neither should body type preferences, and whether or not someone chose their own body type or weight is entirely irrelevant and unimportant. Talking about one's weight never blows over well, whether it's yours or someone else's, even if fictional, so let's just leave it at that, please.

 

We're all here, so we're all perverts, and therefore no one here has the right or reason to judge anyone else.

 

End of story.

[zecchi99]

I came here for the mods, and all I saw was a woke and anti woke war... to be honest I am playing it now and yeas.. you can notice representations of many women in reality and its fine, like if you want the perfect fictional girls, then there are games for it, like crimson desert, all girls are hot and perfect, including randome NPCs xD but there are also games that want to portray reality due to narrative, not all have to be fictional, geez... xD I support this kind of representation, as long is not impose and forced, like on veilguard, that is crap.... this game as far as I played it now, just show normal grils with diffrent personalities you can see while on the teenage phase.. so if you want to make a game about that, you cant make a goddess like girl.. anyways, some people are dumb and cant understand this xD 

now, where are the mods? XD
