The long-standing joke, for ages, was the man who adamantly explains to others that he purchases Playboy magazine for the articles, not the pictures of naked women. The online version has provided an amusing reversal on the trope; one of the writers plays Conan Exiles not for the nudity, but for the immersion you get by being naked in the middle of the desert. Because if you can’t imagine a hot wind blowing across your dangly bits before you build yourself a shelter, what’s the point?
One may assume that the game’s comic features less content related to those aforementioned dangly bits and more content related to the Exiled Lands and the lore behind them. If you haven’t already read the one-shot digital comic, or if you have and really want to know more about what went into making it, there’s an interview up now with the writer. And yet it doesn’t mention the importance of nudity once. How weird.
