    I give a **** BECAUSE, 1) It's an interesting development 2) It's scandalous and everyone loves a scandal 3) I'm not saying I'm opposed to it even though I suggested that those who run brothels be subject to Justice system stuff 4) It makes the game more interesting

    So this was just a chance for you to beat a dead horse some more? Also I take it you havent been to Ebonheart or the Outlaws Refuge in Windhelm? Brothels and prostitutes already exist in the game.

    I could name several other places where prostitution occurs as well in ESO. Perhaps the most imporant way this affects the game is economy, you have other players spending their hard earned gold on these brothel services and then going on shopping sprees with their amassed wealth, although, I wouldn't rule out the possibility a a player who exists solely to ERP in the game with other players and hoard gold in their bank account. Also, my post has been more than justified with all the responses it has gotten and interesting discussions it has spawned.

    This happens in other MMOs, so I wouldn't be surprised it's occurring here. Players can and do make money offering a variety of services to their fellow players. This is just one of them :)

    We are free to choose how we interact with other players. If someone wants to seek companionship and a certain level of intimacy for awhile, who am I to judge them?

    I'm not judging, I'm excited this is happening, if anything I support it (just not with my gold) . As a crafter I would love to do the decorrect for one of these "establishments"

    Did you forget there is actual in-game brothel since game's launch? The Ebony Flask Inn in Stonefalls is actual brothel. Now, if brothel in homestead homes ran by players were against the "rules", don't you think game designers should be punished as well for putting one in game with the rest of the game?

    "24 people decided to pair off and have 12 separate duel at the same time,"

    Brothels should have been included in ESO always. Its just stupid to think prostitutes didnt exist in Tamriel. This is something what ES-series should learn from Witcher and Game of Thrones, imho.

    It's not stupid at all when you consider Bethesda's stance against nudity and sex in general in every TES game to date. They made the decision a long time ago that it isn't what they want in TES. You know how it goes in the US, everyone lords over decapitations, eye gouging and lots of other graphic content, but show some side boob and all hell breaks loose.

    The witcher series has full nudity and explicit sexual themes, yet it had no problem releasing in the US.

    I agree that TES games are known for their "lighter" tone, but I don't think it would hurt the series if they got a little more mature.

    Almost took a screenshot, but decided against it.

    Was on the Gold Coat and someone with a name kinda of like "Magic Mike" was advertising for his brothel guild called something close to "Diamond Daggers." He was looking for guild recruits and or customers for his large house that will no doubt be full of scantily clad digital people doing the Divines know what.

    Anyway, this is more evidence of why we need a second part of the Justice system so we can form groups and break up these brothel rings.

    ALSO: The scuttlebutt is that the reason they made the character limits for housing the way they are is because of the performance issues for the lowest specced PCs/Consoles so that if all 24 people decided to pair off and have 12 separate duel at the same time, the performance wouldn't suffer.

    Yes, I do heartily repent. I repent I had not done more mischief; and that we did not cut the throats of them that took us, and I am extremely sorry that you aren't hanged as well as we.

    Skyrim had necrophiles and sadist who was satisfied by burning people alive, so why couldn't we have some erp? Praise Sanguine and his dark side.

    I though this. and then I saw this. and then I hit agree!
    THE CAVELRY HAS ARRIVED! Cav is a professional magblade, (in his not so professional opinion). He is immortal and is fighting for the Pact since 2E 572, amidst the turmoil of the Second Akaviri Invasion. He protects the provinces of Skyrim, Morrowind and Black Marsh.

    Check out his PVP YouTube channel !

    So how does it work ... i mean from a logistical standpoint... how much pleasure can you achieve through the console? Sounds like a recipe for electric shock hazard to me or at least ruining your console :(

    Order of Dibella....that's all I'm sayin'
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Society should not be celebrating madams as champion's of women's rights. They became rich and influential themselves, at the expense of the actual prostitutes they were pimping out.

    Just like any company, there are good and bad ones. Depends on person, local laws, local power structure.

    Try a gander at "Call me Madam" by a certain X. H. Maybe true, may not, but it's an interesting look at how things could be.

    Just for research purposes.

    Hello everyone,

    This post is to let you know that we've felt it necessary to put this thread down, as it seemed to have died some time ago. At this time we'd like to try and keep Draugr threads from roaming around front page, pushing down newer and more lively threads.

    Thank you for understanding!
