    BioWare: Sex Scenes "Tasteful" in Dragon Age: Inquisition

    Honestly? The romance scenes were fine in Origins(and if you didn't like vanilla, there were some good mods) Because you were able to establish an emotional connection with the other characters through numerous conversations. They DIDN'T work in Dragon Age 2 because A) All your interactions...

    Remember Me Trailer Deletes The Bad and Replicates the Good

    Do you find playing a character of the other gender awkward?

    I prefer to be female characters, but most of the games I've played put me in the role of a male character.

    Game of Thrones: Why is it loved so much?

    Things you feel bad about in videogames (Spoilers might be present)

    Not being able to keep people alive/ rescue them. Especially bugged me in skyrim, I'd happen upon some house and discover the inhabitants butchered and wonder "is there someway I could have gotten there in time?" It's silly I know.
