You’ve become raisin.
Hm, guess your right then +1
Then at least they shouldn’t make the character’s default naked like they are in stupid underwear censor on their bodies thing . They should be like they are wearing different types of body suits (like in Path of exile as in example )
If you think “option to take off underwear “ is bad , then option of being in underwear also bad and unfitting on Dune aswell . Hope Character Default undressed’s appearance shouldn’t be like that then .
As to what is under the stillsuit:
Correct. The stillsuit collects your body moisture for recycling, which is why it needs contact with bare skin. Underwear is probably used because the stillsuit itself might be uncomfortable to wear on your delicate bits without a layer of padding. I mean, I prefer wearing underwear under my jeans because it’s more comfortable that way.
Dont forget urine and feces! Dune MUST have biofunctions… its the lore! So I dont think anything is under that suit
@Necro @Subotai_Archer_Thief They have previously stated they are in a planning phase and as such do not want to do any streams (nor is there much to show). I should also note that the NA office has moved and that Jens Erik has recently signed off.
How game development, including streams, works is not influenced by Tencent’s offer or any of the recent board chances. However, in connection with the offer, they did give information up-front.
For the forum megathread, see Upcoming News for Conan Exiles. This information is already on the wiki.
You could say that they’re currently being cautious with giving more information to other people than investors and as such will likely not be doing any streams until the vote for the offer has been finished (half March).
The following concerns a DM by SecretBoy1.
Hey @SecretBoy1,
I would recommend keeping discussion to the thread itself. There’s plenty of people reading who may be able to answer questions.
Fyi, I did not say anything about violence or gore, the reply concerns nudity. I also did not say that a nudity option is bad.
Try to stay constructive. Violence and gore are a different point than nudity and if you want to bring up this point, you should include your reasons as for why you are doing so and why you have above opinion.
It’s about what fits within the universe and the director’s vision (for violence in general), current culture (relatively more nudity than in the past is possible) and other factors such as budget (the quantity of gore might be lower with a higher budget such as the current, while the quality might be higher.)
Refer to IMDb’s Parent Guide on earlier movies to get an idea of both:
1984
2000
2003
You could also search for reviews. These may not go into detail, but can be a good start if you want to talk about the Dune universe.
More information on the general Dune franchise can be found here:
May I also add that this was a different era for men, as writers. Publishing at the time was, according to my learning, concerned about the potential homoeroticism associated with Bougainvillea-blooming descriptors such as “…no judge of a man (and every woman, at least, is one) could look at his perfect shoulders, his narrow loins, and his proud head that sat upon his neck like an eagle upon its perch…”
Consider an earlier example from England, when it was probably very “not okay” to write journalistic stories about unrest and anti-religious hatred on the streets of London. Rather like Dickens with his long-winded (and serial-selling) tales about the Catholic Wars of 1776-1780, Mr Howard used cleavage and female approval as, unfortunately, the Rudge.
(Get it, because he’s a boob.)
What ?! You just said “option to take off underwear (as part of game’s censor option ) breaks the lore” , while being in underwear equipment doesn’t ?!
I don’t get it . This is just hypocrisy thing
Character’s default undressed should be restricted in stillsuit instead of “censored naked” looking .
@TheLOLxd2 “It’s about what fits within the universe and the director’s vision (for violence in general), “
Yeah I get it …
But I was talking about game’s survival’s realism(when or if it’s comes with advanced clothing customization or options included ) , not part of lore . But ok
Honestly, I wasnt expecting a Map till q3 or q4. (end of year)
I’d rather it be finished… and not rushed.
as for season 3. Honestly, Didnt really think we’d get it. The menu is cluttered as hell owning only half of them… and the game barely runs on ps4. Is there even room at this point. The installs is past 100gb already. =/
As much as I love CE, and wanna support it… we need fixes and working console version before I hand out more money. T_T
Whether the stillsuit needs underwear or not – and whether Jamis put on a loincloth after taking the stillsuit off or whether he wore it underneath – seems to be a much debated and hotly contested topic, sort of like Balrogs’ wings.
My personal belief is that they didn’t use underwear, but Herbert either made a tiny lapse when writing the “Paul vs. Jamis” scene or an editor made him add loincloths.
Honestly don’t even see why the nudity argument is going on.
Pretty sure it’s going to be exactly like Conan.
In the USA:
PC gets full nudity options.
PS4 (and XBOX?) get partial nudity.
In the EU:
Full nudity for all
So all those who like ogling the pixel flesh can. And the sex RP that likely goes on can continue with the gamer guys, girls, and G.I.R.Ls.
As for whether it’s dumb to be nude in the game or not?
I would imagine your thirst level would rapidly increase if you are nude in the sun.
I hope they put something in to punish nudity in the harsh sun of Dune. Blisters and sunburn, draining HP while in it. That sort of thing.
It’s a desert. Not a resort beach.
As for what Kapoteeni mentioned, yeah sandstorms would strip pitiful flesh from human bones. No doubt about that.
A few wiki entries on the stillsuit provide more information.
The stillsuit typically covered the entire body, up to the neck and wrists. For the hands, gloves could be worn. However, when delicate work was performed, Fremen discarded the gloves and rubbed their hands with leaves from the creosote bush. This allowed them to work, while the residue from the creosote leaves prevented perspiration.
So right there, pretty much neck to toe. And they used the creosote to clog their pores and stop perspiration when their hands are uncovered.
Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads.
Whether underwear is worn or not, there is some allowance to catch these. So the urine is filtered to remove the toxins and separate out usable water. Same with the feces. Other points on the wiki mention body movement works for pumping of the water through the stillsuit.
So it could be that the movement creates pressure within the thigh areas. Squishing the feces to forcibly separate any liquid that could then be filtered and back into the catch pockets.
Honestly, I hope that if you play as a Fremen, or join them, they have stuff in place that can replicate the strict stillsuit discipline of the tribe. Reclamation of water, all of that.
It would be pretty interesting to be punished for laxity in conserving your water.
I think the only real question will be the size of the ahem! appendages…
Sliders. So gamers can make up for their RL deficiencies.
Hmmm… I must secretly desire to have larger man-boobs…
So we now know that sometime on 2020 the entire game is going to implode. Is this supposed to get us excited or be a threat??
Huh? You mean Conan exiles going to be implode or abandoned , somthing like that ?!?
@Crysis ”I would imagine your thirst level would rapidly increase if you are nude in the sun.“
Yeah but I never mentioned like ”you start naked at beginning or forced to be naked”(did I said that ?!)
“ It’s a desert. Not a resort beach “
Exiled lands in Conan exiles has Desert ,beach, forest , etc places
Besides who asked for being only on beach ? Lol ? I don’t get that comparison
I’m saying that every major update brings with it game crippling errors and bugs. Now they are promising a new major update this year. So in essence they are threatening us with another game crippling disaster.
I’m with you on this one. I’m just not sinking any more money into this game.
If I get the expansion it likely won’t be until it’s on sale at 50% off or less. I’m just not really trusting Funcom right now. I don’t like a lot of the changes they have slapped into the game that mostly tends to punish my playstyle.
Maybe I’ll get the Y3 DLC, if they put in some changes to separate things out, so the PvP nonsense can be restricted to PvP servers, but turned off in the single player offline games, or non-PvP servers.
But I just don’t see them doing that. They are too deep into the online aspects to care about the solo players.
Don’t forget that there are mods available that help tailor your gameplay! I for example love how I can breed animals like hares with Emberlight animal pens. I’m sure you can find mods that tailor the gameplay to your preference?
I find it a bit surprising that as a solo player you are dissatisfied with the direction they’re taking the game. In my opinion this game is quite suitable for solo thanks to both sliders and modding. So they definitely aren’t ignoring the solo/coop community!
(That person has an unhealthy obsession with nudity. I had an argument with him on discord about it. The first thing I thought of when I heard the Dune announcement was a myriad of questions regarding game features, mechanics, lore, factions etc… His first thought was “can we be naked?”, then he proceeded to argue for being naked in Dune even though he barely knew any of the lore )
