Messerschmitt
Recruit
Seriously. There are numerous pornographic pictures on the wall on this mod, and it's distracting and VERY annoying. Why?
Actually both my Grandparents and my girlfriend do that.jacobhinds said:Games have violence in them all the time, nudity not so much. I have to agree with the OP that nudity in a video game is distracting and seems pointless. Shooting people in the face is a game mechanic, T&A is not. It's why most people cringe at something like senran kagura more than dead space.
Humans feel the need to cover themselves up for more reasons than warmth alone. Imagine if your grandparents or your boy/girlfriend walked around naked all the time.

Thanks Khan!
I'm very glad that you enjoyed the mod.
I would have loved to continue working on 1866 in another project. I was spending so much time on the mod, that I was finding it difficult to balance life and my already busy work schedule. Continuing with 1866 would have meant that 1866 be pursued as a commercial product - so that I could give it the time it deserved. This has not been made public until now, but I did make some progress on this with TaleWorlds. They were initially impressed with a pre-release copy of 1866, and had suggested the mod be created as an expansion for a future installment of the Mount & Blade series. Unfortunately, they would (or could) not keep the dialog going, so after multiple efforts, I was eventually forced to abandon my attempts. I led the 1866 team to finish (or rather, get to our current state of) development, and have since moved on to other projects.
If any one from Taleworlds reads this and are still interested in pursuing a western in the Mount & Blade series, please feel free to call me. You have my number.

Oh god, yes! That MUST happen! I'd pay anything!

That's okay. I was harsh because you were so forceful that the nudity in 1866 was offensive. In my opinion, it is not. ( I can see how some people would think that it is, though. I live in America, and unfortunately many people here think like this.)
You should realize though that this sort of thing is still allowed in general society. It is called "art". Art is not necessarily pornography. Nudity is not necessarily vulgarity.
As to the "Nudity in games" argument, I will say this. Commercial games do not generally feature nudity because our societal values cause this to instantly be slapped with the "M" rating or worse - which can be the curse of death for many games. It also gets a certain political and/or religious segment involved, and generally makes development more difficult through increased distractions. If this mod were being marketed for sale, we would not have included the nudity or the foul language due to the increased number of hurdles involved, and the reduced sales that would have resulted.
You have to wonder though (as Shrugging Khan pointed out) - In a game where you slaughter innocents by the thousand, is a naked body really so offensive? If you were to judge our society by what is shown in television, a person being shot is much less offensive than a naked body. Pay attention next time you watch TV. Tally up the numbers of murders versus the incidents of nudity. You're going to notice a very strong trend that reflects our societies current attitude towards what is acceptable. We are just numb towards seeing murder on television. Nudity is still considered more or less taboo, so it gets our attention.
I don't know about you, but I for one would much rather have my children see a woman's nipple than have to witness someone being murdered. I am proud to say that my children see nipples all the time, but have witnessed no murders so far.
You'll figure it out for yourself. Just keep an open mind in all things, and don't let others tell you what is right and what is wrong. Decide for yourself.
You don't have to like it, which is fine. You also don't have to play it. yellowmosquito and his team stopped working on this mod years ago, and yellow himself has stopped modding altogether. The odds of him or anyone else coming out of mod retirement to change their work of love in a way they don't/didn't envision is zero. If you're willing to do the work, he or someone else could probably tell you how to remove the paintings for your own use.Mar Speedsman said:with all due respect,sir, no matter what you think or the facts your opinions are based on,there will always be people (such as I) who think this is highly indecent. I'd rather see a blank, grey, meaningless image than a nude person,and I understand that others don't mind nudity,but all I'm asking for is a SFW (if you will) version of the mod. I'm sure you're a really busy man,but I'm also sure that replacing the images/removing them completely would be a trivial task for professionals such as you and your team,or at least not at all time consuming, so could you please do that? I'd really appreciate it if you do.
I also apologize for bumping the topic, but I thought it would be best to revive a topic than start a new one/
