The term "Spam" also originates from Monty Python, boy-o.

Ahh, sorry. Thread been moving pretty fast and thought that's what you're referring to.

Morrigan's pasty pancake bum was obviously a very important aspect of her character.

Now you're just being cheeky.

No, it originates from tinned meat product.  Using it to refer to internet repetition/blither is a Monty Python reference.

That's just nitpicking.

Spam is disgusting.

When talking about "spam" on the Internet, however, such term is derived from a sketch by Monty Python in which they refer to aforementioned tinned meat product an abundance of times.
I say again, the term is derived from (and because of) the sketch, not because of the tinned meat itself.

I tend to think that the people who reliably deliver a diverse sampling of strong female perspectives have better intentions than just fanservice for the sake of it. But maybe that's just me.

(Not snarking at you. Just... snarking.)

I recall before Dragon Age: Origins, David complained that whenever he described a woman as being nobility or 'a lady,' the artists would give her larger boobs and a plunging bustline.

Wow, that's an interesting associational reference, but I suppose if you look around at women in the U.S., the rich and famous do at least seem to adhere to this model.  (Most of my exposure to the rich and famous is via TV/the internets.)  Whereas most of the middle-class and below women that I know run around 95% of the time in t-shirts and jeans.  But you could make all sorts of fun and tasteless jokes about them sleeping their way to the top etc.

Lol, I dunno, my Shepard was all up on Garrus' cloaca....

ANYWAY.

I still like that characters will have individualized outfits, even if they're not all to my tastes. Good thing I'm not the one who has to wear them.

Although I STILL want to be able to make fun of the Qunari for losing their shirts.  What, they all washed overboard?  You ran out of patches for the sails?  Couldn't figure out how to get them on over the horns?  Passed the time gambling with that one guy named Tex?

They were having a flexing contest and forgot to put their shirts back on when they reached land.

The answer as to why they did this is simple: money. Since you have only one character who can equip full suits of armour, it's much easier to offer less different types of equipment in the game. This means a cut in costs for Bioware and also a faster development time.



If I want characters in static outfits of cloth fighting monsters from the nine stages of hell and winning, I'll play Final Fantasy.



Very disappointed in this Bioware.

It's what you get instead of romanceable male Qunari companion.
Enjoy it.

Wikipedia has reportedly hinted at hiring Upsettingshorts[citation needed], because they find themselves lacking a certain amount of snarkiness[citation needed].

Alright, dude, name your price. How much do I have to pay you for taking that soul-staring bastard off? He's creepy as hell, I tell you.

You have to watch Parks and Recreation - every episode - and then come back and tell me you still want me to take it down.

If I had to pick one, I'd say the latter. I'm not really objecting, but that being said I saw nothing wrong with say Mass Effect 1 builds - for men and women.

So Isabela and Bethany are that well-endowed... for story purposes?  Oh, I've got to hear this one.

Arguably, Isabela's appearance does reflect her role in the story as love interest.

I actually don't understand why Bethany or Carver look the way they do.

Bethany is attractive != Hawke should be able to sleep with his sister

Because she really is, yet he really shouldn't.   Hence the surprise, I imagine.

Its not a matter of he should be able to 'romance' her because shes hot but a matter of because shes hot in a sexualized way it shouldn't be unexpected that people would want to romance her.

[Sylvius the Mad]

It's an entirely fictional setting. We know it has different physical laws than our world. Why is it at all a stretch to consider that it might have different taboos than our world does?

[Ryzaki]

Ah. I do want to romance Bethany. She's honestly the best looking female in game I've seen so far.And yes Dude Hawke very much wants to fondle her chest. Alas he shall remain single, looking at her longingly from afar.

...Wow. I just found my first playthrough.

Incest isn't so much taboo as it is biologically irresponsible. Think of the gene pool! And wow, we've turned this thread into a boob thread and a "can I romance my sister" thread. We must be bored today.

I assume relative similarities in cases where differences are not implicit, or explicit for that matter.  Granted, that's a personal choice.  I'm not going to suggest it's the best approach, just mine.
