Just saw a thread in the forum about this and saw a link which showed some undies and stuff. Just wanted to get some more attention to it and vote YES on getting underwear/swimsuits. Come one NC SOFT! Look how many ppl want this! :p
Yes i can just imagine it ... role playing a bucks night with scantily clad female toons and
Fettered Souls (http://aloebera.hopto.org/Quests/summoner/soul.jpg) . Definately "high swords" all round har har har
Yes i know the game designers were venting out their frustrations when they designed female dark elves and fettered souls, but that doesnt mean OPs have to as well :P
Besides it would cause an overflow of support petitions for repetitive strain injury and loss of eye sight.
Human Mystics: Undershirt and boxer shorts. Darkish white, not quite beige, not quite grey.
Human Fighters: Long Boxers Beige.
Dwarves: Long sleeves and legs, like super old-fashioned underwear you'd see in period films. Brown.
Male Dark Elves: I'm not so knowledgable about underwear names, but they're small black briefs.
Male Elves: White briefs that don't make me want to gauge my eyes out. Yay for underwear that covers!
Male Orc Mystics: Also small brownish underwear.
Male Orc Fighters: Didn't have the misfortune of seeing a picture of this. Yay!
Human Mystics: Red Longjohns (they have no fashion sense whatsoever and momma said to wear warm underwear)
Human Fighters: Boxer shorts
Dwarves: Those old fashioned beachwear form the victorian ages where all skin had to be covered.
Male Dark Elves: Dark leather tongs and some assorted leather straps for good measure
Male Elves: frilly white thingies
Male Orc Mystics: loincloth
Male Orc Fighters: Loincloth with some feathers attached
Yes no doubt gie us this stuff already!!!! I head that the reason it wasn't implied was some lame censorship probsbut seriously is it that different then what the female DE's already have on? Give us underwear please and capes so I can pretend I am superman lol
And what about the female orcs? :) Give us something nice ;) Our wedding dress > DE wedding dress so I'd think the undies would follow the same line ;)
I really don't understand why they didn't have underwear. Censorship shouldn't even be a problem. I can turn on the TV and see a Victoria's Secret commercial or look at a newspaper and see Target has a sale on bras and panties. WTH, why would in-game lingerie be any more offensive than the crap we have in print ads and television commercials. It just sounds to me that NC Soft censored themselves out of the belief that all Americans are die-hard Christians or something and that people wouldn't buy the game with underwear.

Actually, our socioculture is dictated by the Christians. I won't go into details cause this thread will get locked down in a heart beat. I'm surprised it hasn't been yet after your post.

Actually its not a discussion about religion so there is no reason for it to be locked. I know censorship is the way it is because of Christians, there is no need for discussion or debate on that issue nor am I in any way degrading any religion. I just pointed out NC Soft MAY think this way and I'm saying they are incorrect to think that way, if they did in fact think that way...... :confused:...lol
Dont like skinny elves >.> When you elfboys become men, I might even consider it, but as long as you're more girly than human females, no thanks >.>
I love the look of the underwear and swimsuit and I'll be very pleased if it's put in the game in a futur chronique.
But a friend of mine told me that lineage 2 in korea is forbidden to people under 18 years, so I understand the position of NC North America, Lineage 2 is rated for teen and they don't want to take the risk to get a worse content rating.

Im also tired of the censorship we americans have to endure. We get the dub down watered version i guess. :(

This is the best post ive read all day, as long as you're more girly then human females... rofl
i'm actually kind of amused. I'm sure they censored the underwear simply because it IS underwear. **** outfits are fine, call them underwear, and they're not. it is just the way our culutre works. s'ok, I've seem my WC in manticore and plate armor, the actual underwear is more than a little tame after that, ya know.
Knowing asians and anime, I'd say the lack of Lingery would not be due to DE or large Orcs in Loin Cloths but more likely due to Female Dwarfs, which I never see mentionned in this thread.

That alone could explain alot.
Do they have undies in asian game for dwarfs, only seen a few pics of DE/human, i no we have BW armor thats got undies.... handstands anyone ? :D
But i dont see why we dont get this, its not hard to web search if your looking for animie stuff its all over the place and anyone can see it, so why is it the company has it in one version (asian) of the game and not the other (NA), i just dont understand.
should see an orc female mystic in Avadon or Maj, I forget which one and which type :confused:, but its pretty revealing. Tokara would know what I'm talking about
We just want it on a safe, official release. I know the modifications are possible, but I don't want to put myself at risk by playing something like that onto my client.
Long thread but bottomline is that the L2NA office most likely had a visit from some old dudes with value's of 2 centuries ago (about what is and what is not appropriate to view when it comes to underwear etc).
It is silly and it remains silly that we are not "allowed" to see the underwear in the game. Frankly I would care less if it is/was viewable at all but that's what you get from old prunes in charge of cencureship.
Anyone ever go to the beach during summertime?
Well then, I think we can all say that what we do see there could be deemed inappropriate in the first place. Hell, with that kind of cencureship we should enforce PG13 beaches and what not.
I wonder if they could put it ingame if they called it cloth leisure armor :p, its funny how nutty fundamentalists can be. Hooray for people placeing their values on me (I happen to be a cristian just not the crazy tell other poeple how to live their life kind) and as for children playing this game Parents should always know what their kids are up to and if this game is objectional to them then keep them from playing it..what a novel idea parents parenting and not relying on games and tv to babysit. I can think of many better reasons to keep kids from playing L2 then underware, ie. violence in media can corrupt the mind of children at certain impressional ages However the news does a great job of giving the wee little ones there daily dose of Violence and hate. So what to do? Parents should Parent. /end rant
:eek:
Well, like Thinkaboutitmuch said NA/EU isnt 'allowed' to see the pants. U dont have to put anything on ur client, u have it allready. Well, i dont really need the underwear at all, but it would be great if we had more formalwaer in L2 (as a suggestion ^^) Fishing would be more fun with the training/sports dress :)
Korea is a good Christian country.
But I really don't think NC/NA is influenced at all by Christian values.
It's more the ESRB, which as far as anyone can tell, is of no faith. Gotta keep it teen.
And honestly, some of the players of Lineage ][ don't give me confidence that there wouldn't be lots and lots of underwear stupidity.
I remember in WoW clever players shouting they'd strip and do a poledance for 1g. :p
I know what you're talking about, Wyzeguy. It's just that the notion the NA/EU users aren't, somehow, "allowed" to see underwear just can't be true, because we do see them. Just not when our toons are naked, strangely.
Thanks for illustrating my point. It seems elves wear different panties under Divine than usual, or maybe I just haven't seen Mielle's in too long (almsot 10 levels, whee).
Either way, given the imagery already in game, it's hard to believe indeed that there is a rating restriction in place preventing its introduction.
People got sick of /socialwaitinga on dark elves eventually - I'm sure if that has mostly diminished as joke material, so would underwear.
Yea Dark Elf women in Majestic Robe or Talum Plate would serve quite well for underwear textures lol. This is already in the game and these armor pieces look a lot more risque than any typical underwear they might add.
And if it's a censorship issue, exactly why do all the females who wear skirts have them fly up in the air to show underwear whenever they make the slightest movement? I'm a female and I'm not offended by it, but I think it is kind of amusing.
