Two questions I like to ask. Nudity and Dark Brotherhood.

Davor

First off, playing an alt character so I was in Khanarthi's Roost. Why were a bunch of people together naked? Well in the undies, but no other clothes. I thought it was weird seeing one person like that, but then another, and then 3 more together. I take it this is a clan/group or something? Curious as to why.

My second question is when I was doing my main character and a Dark Brotherhood quest, I was sent to go to Jarl mountians (Or something like that) to find a certain girl with a flower in her hair. When I was crouching, I noticed some plants or tall grass, glow yellow as if it was like a barrel. I went up to it and could do thing to it. So I am curious what is it for? A bug, or something I don't know since I was shocked to find myself in Cyrodil where I never was before.

Neoealth

They were probably just playing around, or maybe they had the towel costume?

And I think you mean the Jerall mountains. No idea about the plants though.

A: possibly friends having fun. A guild of mine does this thing every april 1st naked event at goldcoast andwe do the arena in kvatch in our undies and with fists only.

B: you have to track the glowing bushes until the end there you will find the girl it's like connect the dots

Davor

Thank you both of you. Yes Jerall mountains. I am horrible with names @Neoealth . Connect the dots, never thought of that @HappyLittleTree greatly appreciated. Is that the only time that happens or does that happen in other quests as well? Just so I know not to think of it as something else.

SantieClaws

The answer to the first question is simply that sometimes it is good to feel the warmth of the sun on your fur no? Perhaps they were doing their laundry? Perhaps they are part of an underwear cult? Some things traveller it is best not to dwell too much upon and just run in the other direction ..

The second thing this one thinks might be part of a quest where you need to hide behind or in things. There are a few of those.

There are several quests in the game where you have to track NPC's or monsters by following trails of glowing ferns and bushes while you are in stealth.

TheShadowScout

The confusion about the bushes... well, that happens when you do the DB questline before doing all the alliance questing, since the same mechanic comes up in several greenshade "tracking" quests, where it is a bit better explained.

But as said... when sonething glows yellow when crouching only, and is not actually interactable, well, it will be "go near it, then look for the next to follow until you run into what you are supposed to find".

As for the undies... could be people having fun, getting ready to see how well they do fighting mobs "naked and afraid", or could be people having a little ERP scene... if you are roleplaying, you could walk past them and emote staring at them in surprise, then shaking your head as you wander off, mumbling about the youth of today, or the dangers of getting robbed of your shirt while drunk from last night, or whatever suits your character concept... (but that has its own dangers, depending...) or just shrug behind your monitor and move on, deciding its none of your concern or to feel amused about peoples occasional sillyness.

When you do the Quest it tells you.

KiraTsukasa

Those people are probably bots. So the bots are set up with minimal inventory, nothing but a starter two handed sword, and they're set on a path from resource node to resource node. Once they get to a node, they're scripted to run to a spawn point, activate the node (if it's there), then occasionally perform other tasks (recasting familiar, pulling out map, etc) to try to fool people into thinking they're actual players, then move on to the next spot. They seem to be on loops of 3-5 node locations, sometimes overlapping with each other to try to avoid suspicion. If you see someone like this and their character name is a senseless mess of letters, 99.9% chance you've got a bot on your hands.

Just yesterday morning, I reported no less than 16 bots in a single hour on Bleakrock. I've honestly never seen botting so bad in any game.

Alucardo

You think that's weird? I was following this quest to some island. To my surprise a bunch of RPers turned it into a brothel. While I was looting, I'd walk into a room and see naked people just staring at each other.
Some girl (maybe) told me to go down to the basement because she wanted to give me something, stripped off and started dancing then asked me to pay her.
That's why I PvP full time now.

Haven't played Runescape before, so I'll have to say no. I believe it was in Deeshan somewhere.

That last question kind of reminds me of a trip I once had.

So back in the day, people in Runescape would sell "dates" for in-game gold.

OH. Well, this wasn't what I'd call a date. I think it was supposed to be a lapdance. Also, that's incredibly sad...

Ultima Online too.

If you were especially unlucky they were a scammer and would just take your gold and log out. If you were really unlucky in UO it was my 7 year old sister doing it!

(In retrospect I'm kind of thinking anyone gullible enough to be scammed by a 7 year old should count themselves lucky they only lost virtual gold, especially in that kind of situation. At the time I was mainly concerned she'd get reported and get the account we shared banned, so me and my brother put a stop to it.)

I was part of a group once that did all the Stonefalls world bosses with no armour and no weapons. Suprisingly few deaths, too.

tyggerbob

Our guild does naked world stomps a couple times a year. It's a ton of fun to see this group of people fistfighting a Dolmen or world boss with no gear!!

ghastley

Naked challenges are common in a lot of games that have equipment drops. The basic idea is to use only what you can gather along the way to some target. If you see the same group later with some of them wearing one or two pieces of armour, that would confirm it, but more often than not, they get scattered before you get the chance to do so.

They exist even in the single-player games, as you can run from point A to point B, and kill the boss at the latter, and record your time for the run, to compare with other players. You choose to gather more stuff and make the fight easier, you take longer. Gather less, and you may fail.

I think ESO needs to add better Undies, maybe some Vicoria Secret brands for our female toons to wear. lol

Khajiit has often requested a choice of underwear. Is it not odd we all wear the same no? There is only one shop for these?

Still it is an improvement on the itchy sackcloth things we had in beta Tamriel yes.

I'd vote for that. The way the standard issue fits at the back leaves a lot to be desired. I'd even go for Victorian bloomers as an option, just to have some variety and choice. But then we start to get into a much larger discussion of clothing options for each of the armour slots. Costumes are all-in-ones, and the outfits system doesn't include the non-armour pieces.

Suddwrath

"Nudity and the Dark Brotherhood" would make a great title for a dissertation. For some reason it just has a nice ring to it.

TheShadowScout

armeegrun wrote: »

Indeed!

I for one would -adore- it if we had a wider choice of underwear. Especially styles that actually -fit- into the setting, like a greco-roman style linen loincloth, or a tarzan-style senche-fur thong...

...and then... some actual reasons to remove your armor, like, for swimming. I would love it if swimming had a stamina cost, and armor increased that while reducing swimming speed... say, increase basic swimming speed by half and then reduce the new total by 5% for each light piece, 10% per medium piece and 15% per heavy piece. Yes, that would mean at full heavy you would not be able to swim. So? There is a reason seafaring warriors did not like full plate mail...

But it would make for a new choice - if swimming is on the menu, people will have to think if they want to strip to swim, swim slowly (or not at all), or go around. And then... naturally... add maps with way more swimming options (and see how the argoniam players laugh and laugh!)

Can be people just having fun, like doing overland content nude. Some guilds has naked and afraid dungeon runs there you start naked and can only use gear you find. Yes this includes the cp140 decorative gear around, white drops up to the dungeon sets.

And I came here to read a discussion on how to murder while naked.....

Oh, that's easy, if you have Blade of Woe and can crouch. As for me, I came here to read about naked Dark Brotherhood cultists...

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

@Davor,
there are some other quests in Greenshade that require you to find a target by following the "tracks" of damaged plants, which you can only see when sneaking. I don't recall any others (other than the dark brotherhood quest you mentioned) offhand, but I think there may be other similar quests in game as well, e.g. in Murkmire.

It was probably just "RPers".

nudity and the dark brotherhood - my 2 favorite topics

so to your first questions - why were they naked? Well, why am i naked right now? Cause i can!

Second question - this is what happens when you stick your nose to close to poppy flowers...
