Commentary
I was asked what would make such things in games okay for me personally, and thinking on it?
Make it optional.
Solves both the "awkward if someone walks into the room" and "I'd like to share screenshots" option.
It also just makes sense to have in an age of promotion via let's plays and streaming, so it's not just a "this would make Dan happy" thing (though, obviously, that should be the primary concern of all developers).
Granted, the context of such moments could still be awkward, but I'm not really interested in playing and/or sharing screenshots of moments that would be, so... No difference to me.
And YEAH default to off. I think Cyberpunk 2077 has these sort of options, except I THINK it defaulted to on? My memories of trying it are so vague. I basically played through some of the opening, didn't feel invested in any part of it, and never went back to.
I can be like that with games. If you're a game that "gets good" ten hours in, we're going to have a problem.

I mean it was only forced on for V. Full nudity happened for everyone else when I was playing it with censorship disabled (so Sandra Dorsett was fully-nude, and I got the eyeful from Alt Cunningham in that one flashback) but V had permanent underwear stuck on.

true...but I can see it being made purposefully hard. I think just having the option is best.

It could be an unlockable achievement.

By forced on, did you mean the Censor option? As in, censor being forced on? Because even as early as the first mission, disabling it gives Sandra Dorsett underwear when you rescue her from the scavengers.

For Cyberpunk - it defaulted to Off, you could turn it on and do some customisation but in the actual gameplay it was forced on. At least for anything below-the-waist and it was only forced on for your character, if a character was pantsless in a cutscene and you had nudity turned on then it would be on full display. Which annoyed a few people for the inconsistency as it meant whatever modifications you made to V were a waste of time because apparently V's underwear is permanently welded to their body.

So like how that conan survival game did it. I'm all for more options over forcing people to play one way because others might not want something
