The astral lounge feels like it changed late in development, and you look at outer worlds, also made by microsoft, theres no libido either. The same sort of high collar, long sleeve outfits prevail there. And Fo4 features slinky sequin dresses, a superhero caveman outfit, and whatever Irma is wearing.
I dont think that particular shot was called by Todd.
They might have thought that the naughtier content would just be added by modders, but then forgot they needed to make modding a priority in the alpha they released as a finished game.
Might have been a contractual obligation to hit a specific rating for the game.
Just like movie makers trying to hit the perfect pg-13 rating instead of R. Pg-13 has a much broader base of people to make money from.
Yup, if anything I expect is the reason.
The naughtiest thing in their games without mods was a nudy bar in Morrowind where the “naked” women weren’t even actually nude. I highly doubt the PG aspects were because of anyone other than their own style.
The more I think about it, the more it ruins the Outer Worlds for me. Like its still a good game, but imagine if it wasn’t hampered by MS?
SF: So bad it hurt the Outer Worlds
