If it's done with taste like ME3 did. I think ME3 did it right.

Clothing in the shower? That's considered "doing it right" these days? I must be out of the loop. If speaking strictly about Mass Effect, the first game "did it right".

There would have to be male nudity, and I can't remember a game that has done that... yet.
Best avoid it, altogether.

As long as they don't have the equivalent of the Traynor/Shepard "shower" scene level of ridiculousness, I could care less.

(For those not playing ME3, there's a romantic option where you can encounter a character using your shower... while still in her undies. Then you join her, fully clothed. To which I say... um, wha???)

Not that I care about nudity, really, but would some strategically placed clouds of steam for that shower be THAT difficult? Honestly?

The traynor scene was hilariously awful. Honestly, I wish Bioware would move away from these terrible romances in general and focus on improving core aspects of the game. If they must continue though, either fade out or show actual nudity. Sex in underwear/clothing is just stupid.

Nudity is sometimes appropriate in storylines with adults in relationships. I personally think Bioware should take a lesson from CDPR in this aspect of game design (plus one or two others I might add).

It's a Bioware game... Character relationships are a core aspect, romantic or not.

Absolutely.  How about having choices that actually matter at all?  You know, kinda like TW2.

Don't show nudity, no need for it. The Witcher 2 is it's own game and has it's own style. Bioware hasn't done the nudity thing before, and shouldn't start now.

ME1 style scenes showing the romance scenes in fleeting detail are more than enough.

You see Ethan Mars' ass in Heavy Rain. No wang though. In Grand Theft Auto IV Lost and the Damned you see some twig and berries.

Yes there should be topless nudity. The Witcher2 did it well, expand on/ make it more tastefull if necessary. I like options in my games. You could always have a nudity slider, just like a gore slider.

I think there should be. I have always thought about, for example, how (my namesake) Fisto uses the drill exactly. From what it looks like it's a standard robot model modified for sexual enjoyment, but wouldn't that mean the drill it uses is not adequate as a sex toy? First, the thing is huge and sharp. Second, the model looks kinda rusted so I'm wary of the possibility of infection.

And third, how much of the drill is really 'insterted'? I find it likely that only the tip gets used, unless you have Britney Spears-sized cavities. But obviously, a fade-to-black screen cannot relay all that information, so I am left wondering.

But the Witcher 2 didn't pull it off without appearing like a childish wish-fulfillment of adolescent boys.


Really ? maybe in the US then...

As for nudity , why not ? why is it even a question ? Do we wonder if we should have blood on our blades when we slit some throat ? when why would she wonder if we have clothes or not in a romance scene ? If it makes sense to have nudity in a scene, then I'm all for it. Also people calling the witcher 2 porn are seriously conservative...

If it fits to have nudity, there should be nudity. If it is only for the fanservice....... then there should be nudity as well.

Make it like Witcher 2, optional but there.
And when you make a sex scene, in a 18+ game, do it properly, not people showering in their underwear etc (LOL?!).

Look, we're not going to see wangs and meatflaps, even Witcher2 didn't dare. So this really turns the question to "Should thar be nipples on ta birds". And personally I think it's inconsequential, and if just by not showing a tiny bit of pink skin you get a jump in ratings, a bigger audience and less people screaming then it does seem to make sense.

Just don't have everyone wearing identical pants, plox

My take on this is quite simple, if this is a game for adults I have no problem with it. I'd say don't put it in for the sake of it, but don't leave it out for the sake of it

The Traynor example is a good one, don't have someone showering in their underwear, its illogical. If you don't want nudity don't have a shower like scene.

Agreed, the first Mass Effect was great. The "shower with clothes on" scene was just silly, better with just fade to black.

Heavy Rain, GTA4, both had male nudity, not romantic in GTA4's case, but full frontal none the less. The only limitation is that you can't have a ready member, most polite way to say it, I guess, in an M rated game, just like R rated movies. So full frontal nudity is fine (and helps tell the story in a more visceral, impactful way) when used well, but genital nudity cannot be part of a love scene directly. No explicit sex or explicit sex readiness.

I have no problem with that minor restriction, because the only reason to do that is to amp up the eroticism, and DA is epic fantasy, not erotic fantasy. Graphic nudity is perfectly at home with what DA is, and is very helpful IMO, but graphic sexuality is not. Appropriate use of nudity is a major positive, but only in ways that further the scenes' intent in which it's used.

Exactly. Scenes in which it furthers the storytelling and emotional impact should feature nudity. If that scene is not important enough to treat honestly, then that scene shouldn't exist.

And fade to black is even worse. You get innuendo with nothing, no impact, no feeling whatsoever. There's no good point in alluding to an important scene if you're going to skimp out on actually having that important scene in your narrative. It's even worse than 'underwear sex'.

*enable sarcasm mode* Of course there should be nudity. 'Cus people want to see their character bang with a another bunch of pixels. Also, let's not forget enlarged and exposed ****** and asses the audience can drool at, because it's obviously what makes the game the money's worth. *sarcasm mode off*

An age-old discussion on the boards, and my answer remains the same: If it feels appropriate, I would say yes.

If you have a sex scene, there should be nudity. It doesn't have to be explicit however, camera angles and the imagination will do just fine. Other non-sex related nudity? If it fits sure.

1. If it fits
2. Don't put it in for the sake of it
3. Don't omit it for the same reason
