You know I often tend to scratch my head at threads like this that assume what is good for a handful of people on a forum is in the interests of the millions of other people that never bother using forums.
The whole "gratuitous sexuality" thing that people have going on about ME2 just boggles my mind really.
So what if ME2 has some exaggerated sexual themes to it? Everyones like what good is a vinyl catsuit in a gunfight? I dunno how about you get back to me after having developed biotic powers on the level a genetically modified meta-human like Miranda is, and running through a fire fight with a biotic barrier up?
Ergo this is fantasy, science fiction fantasy but fantasy just the same. I do find these moralistic cries for "sanity" in the name of a few armor sets that dared to show "OMG" cleavage in a video game or that happened to leave no question that yes, that is definitely Miranda's ass inside those pants, somewhat annoying.
The only thing I do agree with in this thread, from a reasonable point of view is the fact that the female characters weren't given any non-LI above mission loyalty or ties to Shepard. John Shepard's always got Garrus, but Jane Shepard...well shes always got Garrus but, no real female counterpart to befriend...so I agree with that, in ME2 women got the shaft in regards to females they can become friends with that they don't have to shag to get close to them.
Other than that, I really don't care for a handful of people on a forum trying to tell BioWare that Miranda was somehow insulting to the intelligence of the player base be it male or female.
Miranda IS a sexualized female character, its part of who she is. Prior to the Lazarus Project her and Jacob had a thing, if you read her file in LotSB shes either a rampant sex addict or desperately trying to get pregnant...depending on your point of view and overall attitude towards Miranda.
Jack was the only character that I thought was over the top in ME2 far as their overall outfit and that was mostly to show off the Subject Zero tattoos and thats more or less it.
ME2 was less sexual than ME was. Ashley and Liara or Kaiden, all basically went full body and sex was most definitely implied, the best that can be said for ME2 was some aggressive cuddling occurred and that was it.
And to be frank I could care less what females or males are wearing in ME3 it could be 100 layer battle plate or a transparent vinyl catsuit for all I care, I'm going to be way too busy absorbing the story and saving the galaxy to get my moralistic knickers in a wad cause the developer DARED to insinuate that a sexy femme fatale was....a sexy femme fatale.
God forbid eh?
