I believe the Hyborian Age was before Mosiac Law.

But it's not a religious thing for me. In fact, my religion neither prescribes it nor forbids it:).

Also, my previous post might have contained traces of sarcasm;).

So how is this game any different from Age Of Conan? Besides the full frontal nudity?

It seems like a very thin clone of Age Of Conan to me. And I played that game for several months at launch.

From what I seen in lets plays there are going to rpg elements added to this game.  Like stats, classes, and the possibility to create your own kingdom through sacrifing to the gods and slave labor.  So what we got is earily alpha.  I want to see what the sorcery is like.

My first reaction is a kinda... "and? So?"

Are all the characters male?

Is there much point to the nudity aside from a bit of originality and daring to start the PC off really naked and with nothing for once?

Though Secret of the Silver Blades did that to you too wayyyyy back. "Next time villagers. You better wish for heroes with their GEAR. Or at least some clothes!"

And of course the aptly named "Naked Doom" solo module for Tunnels & Trolls.

The things is, hanging dongs might be new for the computer RPG scene, but Conan: Exiles isn't an RPG, it's a Survival Game.
Survival Games have had hanging dongs since Rust 4 years ago.

Is it really a survival game though? Sounds more like its just an RPG-like game with a harder than usual start off and "Survival" slapped on to attract attention?

It's almost an identical setup to the beginning of Age Of Conan.

In Age Of Conan, you start as a shipwreck survivor with no memory. Who has to gather what equipment they can as they make their way to civilization. The character literally starts that game with nothing but the rags on their back.

...and two feet in from the beach in Age of Conan, you run into your first quest.

There are no quests in Conan Exiles, and they have no intention of making any. It is an open world survival game, not an RPG.  There is a very rudimentary leveling system that is there primarily to distribute crafting recipes for the Building game.  The combat system is very simplistic compared to AoC.

So there are no NPCs? Its all player driven?

Then it sounds like Wurm Online... with less clothes... :o

Or Anarchy Online, with slightly less clothes... But more starting gear... :cool:

Really closer to Dayz or Rust with a Conan Skin.  Is there some particular reason you refuse to take the designers at their word that they are making a survival game and not an RPG?
