: So there really are two things, based on what we've seen and are told: * The
: model isn't truly naked
: * Frankie says "She's not really nude"
: So is the latter just a clarification about the game model, because
: censoring, or is that the in-universe truth of her character's choices?
: Is Cortana, in her mind, trying to appear/present herself without clothing
: (not near-nude, but actually nude)? Are the artists being restricted by
: what they are allowed to show or not? Or is that a non-issue because the
: character doesn't actually think she is herself completely naked?

: Cortana can form holographic hair. She could certainly form the details for
: typically censored lady bits. She's not naked. Until those make an
: appearance, I'll never be able to agree that Cortana is naked. :)

I think she doesn't wear clothes to try to make herself feel more human, because what better way of making people who just view you as a machine than to make yourself sexually appealing. From the viewpoint of trying to be more human then her look makes sense.
