ESRB Dishes on Dragon Age 2 Sex

[nipsen]

Resistance to such a request would indicate that there's something more than "just sex" at work.

Oh. That was a good point, then. ..someone put you on probation for that as well, huh.. :/

It was a really good point, though.

I guess the moderators didn't like my bluntness. I thought it was a great way to make the point. I was only approaching sex from his angle. What's the harm in a word like "fuck" if sex has no more meaning? Heck, we hear the word "fuck" so often in movies and on TV its almost lost its taboo nature as a swear word. See, my statement was as layered as an Molten Lava Chocolate Cake(tm)!

I usually don't like sex in games because most of the time it's just thrown in there because the developers want publicity, it hardly ever has a point in making the game better.
Captcha was TRIPLE emoth. Sounds like some emo-goth combo x3.

If I remember correct there was a part in Dragon Age where you walked in on a guard and a maid kneeling in front of him and shes saying no one will hear us

 

[InnerRebellion]

Which leads me to wonder: why is it always about sex with you, anyway?

Cause name on person who doesn't like sex?

Right here.

Personally, sex scenes break the immersion of a game. Don't know why, they just do. Each to his own though.

As long as the sex in the game has some relevance to the story and isn't there just for the sake of it, I think I will rather enjoy this game. The last thing I want is to regret a pre-order.

 

[Dragonpit]

Really? Well, if that's direction they wanna-WWHHHHHHAAAAAAAAT!?

Okay, really. I understand that the whole "sex is part of the human experience" critique, but is this really the step they wanna take? They're not gonna explore the whole intimacy thing?

Well, can't really stop them, can I?

I think what is so fascinating about sex in video games is that sex is a very hot topic and has been since well... the dawn of man. Now that we have the technology to put these things in games (custer's revenge aside, lol) I think its only natural that it turns up more and more and I wouldn't be at all surprised if western porn games become a mainstay. Afterall, that AO rating has gotta be used sometime.

So no changes from the first game then, eh?

That being said, it's not gay if it's an elf. Standard RPG playing rule.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Bioware is offering digital blowjobs now? $15 DLC could get that selling more Kinect + Fleshlight packages than anything else, I'd wager. Har har har.

DA2 will be moddable. I would be extremely unsurprised if someone was able to set up some sort of hack to make this possible.

I wonder if that should become an addendum to Rule 35--that if it can be modded to become virtual sex, so must be done. If the character skins are moddable, then I already expect a nude patch. If not...no big loss, I suppose.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Eh, doesn't sound like anything too controversial, to be honest.
But still, Fox News are going to have some fun...

 

[BabyRaptor]

Ah Bioware you masterful trolls

I choose you Fox News! Fox News used Controversy... It wasn't very effective

Bioware used Free Publicity... It's super effective!

Fox News fainted

This made me laugh...Have a cookie, good sir/madam.

 

[Tony2077]

hm is that fellatio stuff true any other sources

Bioware tells stories.

Stories can and do at times have sex in them, because people in the real world have sex and it's something they can relate to.

It's the same as a book or a movie depicting sex in it's story. It's usually used to add to the world or the story.

video games aren't stories. Bioware aren't telling stories. They are desiging games. I don't want a story forced on me. I don't want to play through some pointless stupid looking vapid cut scene with sex (I have SR2 for that). I want an interesting setting, interesting gameplay and fun characters to play. Let the story evolve from that. If Bioware want to pretend to be Tolkien, good luck with that. That's not video game design and I have no desire to read 300 pages of meaningless codex entries each time i play a bioware game.

Games companies should go and fire all their story writers so. Jeez... here they are wasting money on staff who are pointless(!)
