Rather than focusing on nudity (which really opens up a whole can of worms we don't really need), I'd rather them focus on making the romance feel like a romance. There's not enough flirting or minor kissing or anything like that; you can't even tell someone is a love interest except when you talk to them alone at very specific points in the game. And this spans across all Bioware titles.
And in addition to that, there's nearly no social reaction to your choice of LI, save a few minor ones like Wynn noticing your spark for Leliana and warning you, or your mother telling you Isabela kinda sorta is a major ****. There is so much left on the table considering LI's in the greater community: If Hawke is such a celebrity, why is nobody questioning his/her choice in LI (since everyone available is kind of political suicide)? Why doesn't Bioware touch on the topic of sexuality more, rather than make it so everyone's totally cool with whatever? Why does the idea of lineage never come up? If Hawke is the only child left, and decides to be gay, why isn't someone bringing up the fact that if Hawke dies in an ambush, no one's left for the estate and title?
These are all much more beneficial aspects LI's could bring, but they currently don't. Instead, everything points toward a single, poorly animated love scene that's awkward to watch for anybody. Hardly feels satisfying at most points of the game.
^this !! Well said !
