If the BG NPCs existed in the modern world, what would they be doing?

    whats up with all the nudity in so many new-age "art" images these days? Not one single step of the ladder is correctly textured... just distortion everywhere with the pink wood. Fix that and stop watching to much AI controlled sex slaves with rubber bodys! ... :D

    To me all these models look exactly like ancient greek statues dont you think too?

    That was from series of pictures that were thrown together and rendered very quickly, and just fun and not intended to be art in any way. I'm very pointed about not having any nudity or sex-ay stuff... I shudder to think of how the facial expressions would look.

    But no. I mean the textures, especially for the men are kind of flat and plain, but greek statues tend not to be dressed as pirates.

    not gonna lie, I found it kinda creepy myself

    If you think it;s meant to resemble a photo, then maybe. If you it's just a silly cartoon picture about pirates produced overnight, and not something I think should be hanging in the National Gallery, then most folk don't really have a problem. So you're wrong, and a hideous human being.

    But seriously, I only really use Poser and stuff to provide a visual reference for characters and scenery when I'm writing and drawing. That's how it was originally supposed to be used, as reference for other artists. It's just that the technology keeps getting better and better and more and more people use the program to produce images of varying quality. Personally, I just end up with a sailing ship, a beach, and some pirate costumes and decide I'm going to have fun with those.

    But, kind of back on topic:

    I think Jan should do something with turnips. Maybe own a fast food restaurant chain with a turnip theme, that serves everything with turnip in it, and has turnip shaped furniture. And Jan will hang out going from table to table regaling customers with all his stories.

    i could see xzar being a crazy plastic surgeon
    khalid being an accountant
    valygar working for the suicide watch hotline
    mazzy being an overly cheerful teacher
    anomen definitely reminds me of coop in nurse jackie

    That was totaly serious. It´s right in your eyes that most of the ship is textured with a "simple" uv box mapping. But instead to allign textures in a scene correctly people show of half nudes. Thats all, just a nudity scene of obedience with dominas ;)

    I know how to texture so no fooling with me :D And i also pointed out the fact that MANY others are doing the exact same thing. Just using (I assume) poser models in so called "sexy" art that are in no way aestethic but simple "soft porn" pictures for teens. I realy mean that.

    Probably; I didn't make the ship. But there's no nudity, or a ladder for that matter. No, what's going on is that the characters spent the day at the beach, reenacted some scenes from Top Gun, then Imoen hired a pirate ship, got a bunch of guys to join her crew, neutralized Minsc by getting Boo to join as her parrot before attacking then shooting Nalia with a canon before taking everyone hostage. Although Coran was quite happy to surrender to Safana and be held in bondage.

    scene of obedience with dominas!

    But whatever... i went OT enough already and dont wanted to be offensive. Just something i notice more and more ;)

    And Coran likes that; he's the only who surrendered willingly and begged to be tied up.

    Yeah, people do use those things a lot for porn. That's just people I suppose. You give them anything they'll soon make porn out of it. At least they're not ponies.

    i feel like it'd be less weird with ponies

    I feel bemused by people who feel that the whole thing with the baywatch and wrestling sharks and the pink pirate ship was supposed to in any way not be weird.

    Well I'll try it with ponies next time. Maybe it will add to the comedy, or maybe not. Maybe it'll be dogs dressed as pirates playing poker... I can't see how that could go wrong.

    Although all this has reminded me of Aerie's favourite show in the real world - Mony Python's Flying Circus.

    Although a more serious answer that suits the character, probably something like Star Trek as it's about exploration and the freedom to go anywhere and encounter strange new worlds and civilizations, and then launch torpedoes at them. Mony Python would probably be one of Imoen's favourites, as it's very silly.

    Monty Python's Flying Circus is everyone's favorite show!
    Not Sarevok's. Ever since he received a part of Imoen's soul, he became a Brony. He'll throw from a tower anyone who says it or even suggests it to his face... but he is. He definitely is.
    Lol!! I totally imagine Imoen being a fan of Bronies or however they are called :P
    I think Jan's favorite show would be Mythbusters (everyone's second favorite after Monty Python's Flying Circus), since trinkets + explosions = favorite show of any gnome.

    Yeah, maybe Quayle and Jan, along with Tiax and Aerie (she's pretty much part gnome, and I think all the shows mentioned so far would be in her top 10) will start doing their own version. Although Quayle will mostly just be there for eye candy.

    Alora's fav show is Ren & Stimpy. That's no secret. But Minsc isn't allowed to watch TV because he keeps thinking it's really happening and smashes them.

    "Boo is scared of the evil people in the box!"
    "Go for the cables Boo! GO FOR THE CABLES BOO!!"
    *Minsc sees a murderer on TV* "Will.. Smite... The evil... Man on the.. BOOOOX!!!!" *Slashes TV with Spider's Bane+2.*

    I'm pretty sure Tiax would ever had the detonator, he wants to have everything under control his almighty feet!! And Quayle would be the SMRT guy that makes all the calculations, and Aerie... I think that she would be the one trying not to get hurt by the explosions/gamma rays/flying pigs/mutant rats/giant radioactive broccoli/AK-48/Flash Matter Launcher 2.0 the gnomes created. Yeslick would be the guy that drives their 12 meters-long truck, and Korgan and Kagain are the Kamera guys. Jan would always spend more time talking that actually using his gadgets, so the Kamera guys don't film him too often.
    Alora would be the one trying to rob non-working inventions and make them work on her own and Mazzy would be telling everyone to have care of what they do, to not to put metal on a microwave nor try throwing an uranium meteorite at Baldur's Gate (both of those are Tiax's ideas).

    I think Aerie would be making props and putting decorations on them, but she'd try to distract then run away whenever the camera was on her so you'd have to film Jan telling his stories. The Amazing Oopah will be the dummy they just blow up repeatedly, until finally having enough. Then they have to replace him with Tazok.

    If I were a TV executive, I'd commision it right away. Which is maybe why I'm not a TV executive.

    Anyway, I have to go and record a new audiobook. It's Korgan reading Jane Austen... I think that's bound to be a money maker.

    I think it would actually be very popular.

    Oddly enough I can see Korgan as a cop, lol

    Korgan is a deranged, violent psychopath, so that's not such an odd thought

    I wanna hear some for Sarevok, Irenicus and Melissan!
    I can't really think of any good ones to be honest
  • jackjackjackjack Member Posts: 3,251
    Irenicus would be an outcast spymaster warping his protege, molding him or her to someday strike back at the machine, (CIA, NSA, KGB, what have you).
  • meaglothmeagloth Member Posts: 3,806
    Mellissan is a kindergarten teacher who thinks she's organized her students in to a covert political takedown team to remove the principle from his position and make her principle by telling them that they will all get to be "principle for a day" if they do what she says, but actually, she is going to collect all of their potential principle taint and make herself permanently principle, but actually the only reason anybody tolerates her is because they want to see how it all plays out, and it's funny, but then one new kid and his sister figure her out and has to fight her in a ridiculously hard boss battle in the principles office, and she keeps regenerating by sitting is the spinny office chair behind the principles desk, and then some random Angelical comes out of nowhere and makes the new kid principle and takes away the principle taint away from his sister like it was no big deal in the first place.

    They are, they are called larpers and tabletop roleplayers.

    But to play along, Viconia would be my wife.

    Oh come on, if you didn't see that coming!
