I hope they remove LI's altogether so I can watch the mass suicide of all the "mature" gamers on these forums. If you're mature enough to look at nipples, aren't you mature enough to be okay without them?
While I realy hope the first sentence doesn't turn out to be true, as doing away with LIs so late in the game would be REALLY jarring to this "mature" gamer. I'm actually in agreement with the second part:)
Big, cinematic love scenes aren't vital for the progression of a love story. Sure it can help emphasize it,, but a decent writer can make it clear what exactly happened after a fadeout. Presumably, we're all grownups and don't need every detail spelled out. A heartfelt speech or passionate kiss can be just as emotionally stirring as seeing clothes hit the ground. Maybe more so, depending on the emotion you want stirred.
That said, if a clothes-off scene would be truly beneficial to the story, and not just fan service for the more, um, "hormonally abundant" players, well, I'm fine with that too. As I said: grownup.
IMO, ME2 was probably more sexed-up than ME1, given the outfits of several of Shep's squadmates (or as I think of them his "stripper entourage"). And ME1 did have a nude scene (albiet a pretty brief one) What's shown and how it's shown kinda go hand-in-hand when it comes to what's appropriate. Unfortunately that also makes "appropriate" a very subjective term.
