It really amuses me how, in this day and age, news of a sex scene in a
game can make the headlines. It amazes me further that some people
still see fit to complain about sex in computer games at all.

Why is sex in games bad? An editorial over at Inc Gamers discusses this particular question. A very interesting read, written by a woman.
Do you agree with the editor?

"Young boys may see women as sex toys"...Boys shouldn't be playing the game anyway its for 17/18+, I'm probably horribly abnormal by that age I'd had a steady g'friend for 3 years, & been chasing anything in a skirt for a year before that. Its ridiculous that violence in forms most people couldn't dream up in a million years is the norm in most games & is regarded as fine, but sex is some terrifying taboo that will turn everyone viewing it into a crazed siko.


I have to agree with this. The world would be a hell of a lot happier safer and better without violence, but without sex it would END. Destruction is okay but creation is bad? WTF!

Wow, was that a hyperbolic analogy.:(


It is seriously bad form when you have to compare people you disagree with to criminals or addicts.:?

I think the people who still think it's bad are the same people who still believe that Video games are for Children only.


I totally agree with this. Some people still don't understand that an 18 age rated game is only for people over the age of 18.


NO DOUBT!!!

Getting sick and tired of parents who refuse to be parents!!! A game rated "M" is not for your little 14year old joey...get him like spongebob squarepants or something to the like and leave our games alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heres a tip of the day: You popped the little runts out into the world via sex so be responsible and be a parent do not leave it to computers, TVs or magazines to parent your child, instead YOU do it! :police:

F-C i have come to the conclusion that you just are an ignorant person and a model of the average American that tries to pass off the responsibility of raising children to the governement. God help you if you ever have to do somthing on your own.

edit for spelling (also I am American so this isnt a European vs. American shot )

There is no sex in Dragon Age. There is no anything in Dragon Age. It's all just pixels on a screen. Everything else is in your imagination.

Now, if you want to get upset about a hypothetical person imagining imaginary people having imaginary sex inside their own imagination, that's okay. Have fun.



Brilliant! Thanks!

I didn't read all the discussion but without sex, I suppose none of us would be here. Why is it ok to behead or dismember someone while a kiss, an unclothed body or "sex" is just wrong (I guess puritanism and porn are just a corollary of each other).

Because religion has some how (Spanish Inquisition) convinced alot of people that sex is wrong and a sin. Why? well thats a whole other topic.

The ESRB is stupid! It's entirely private, and entirely voluntary. Game designers don't design games around the ESRB unless they're shooting for the E or T rating (for the kiddie market). Violence got this game an M - there's NOTHING else the ESRB can do with even if the game had full-on penetration.

If you want to blame any coercive foreign element infringing on game design - then blame the 20-odd-plus Bureaus of Censorship that every post-feudal semi-state has across the pond. These organizations have real power and real authority to restrict game sales. The ESRB is a paper tiger.

As per puritan American society, Bio already took their flak from Fox News for Mass Effect. AFAIK, ME2 is still gonna have homosexual sex with aliens - it's NOT FAIR to blame America for EVERYTHING!


Right, like in Australia the OFLC has the power to actually ban media from the country.

ESRB is just an entity that offers guidelines for parents making decisions on what games to buy for their kids.



The OFLC is the bane of my existence. In fallout 3 i can run around chopping people to bits and then EATING them but i can't take morpheine to dull the pain of an injury!

Speaking of nudity, did anyone else find themselves wondering where werewolves keep their genitals?


They have special retractable organs. Kind of like a cats claws.

Rant, Rave or whatever but it breaks down as simple as this. It's rated M for Mature, like music, movies, TV shows ... games have ratings as well. So whatever your prerogative is whether you play, don't play, let your kids play or don't. Personally, I think any teen over 15 has more than likely seen what is in this video game and a whole lot more via the internet, watching any TV show or movie. I would hardly classify the scenes as steamy sex but more like mild romanticism.

I agree....the women aren't sexy, there's no bow chicka wow wow sound in the background, it's rated M......and, oh yea...the internet. Yet one more reason for lazy/crappy/whiny parents who can't take responsibility themselves and just blaming everything around them as to why their kids resent them.



Some people are what I call, oxygen thieves.

Trying to discuss this with you seems akin to trying to plan a high-school sex ed curriculum with an Amish community.

Is that a creative way to say that he has made little to no attempt to actualy discuss anything. That in fact what he has done is state his opnion, equate it to fact, then anyone who does not share his view is called a troll, moron, or crack addict?

If you were not trying to say that then never mind I just did :)

I'll take being an ignorant literate person with enough time and common sense to know what my kids are doing any day over whatever you consider yourself. All I can say is
Image IPB

If you can still sit there and tell me that this doesnt explain what you need to know when it comes to game content, then you are beyond redemption. Is it hard to understand what the game has in it? is it really? do they need to put it on a stamp that puts it backwards and put in on your forehead?
