You're right. Bioware should just fill the game with long, hard ****s. Too many games are taking the easy way out by just showing boobs. 


BW got called out by the hack journalists at Faux Noise for showing blue boobs. I think they're still shell shocked from that experience, lol.


I doubt that, it was basically free advertisement.

Pretty much.  Bioware doesn't do nudity because they don't WANT to.

I got a question for all you Witcher 2 lovers. I completed the game and it was awesome and all that, but unlike Bioware games there was hardly any gay stuff going on. The one gay guy was Dethmold and he was a real ******. But I don't see any one of you bashing them for it, but instead praise them for brave enough for showing ****** in the game. Aren't you guys being a bit hypocritical?

No, simply because it's not necessary and wouldn't add anything but controversy with all the conservative groups.


I couldn't give a rat's ass about the opinion of a group who states that homosexuality is the work of the devil. That kind of controversy has always been healthy anyway. Ofcourse, the over-protective parent demographic is immeditatley lost, but how would they impact on an '18' rated game? On the other hand, you have the dude-bros who love a pair of ****** and will go to the store on the go to satisfy their superficial fetishes.

If Dragon Age is the "Dark Fantasy" world which was promoted, I expect to see nudity. I don't demand it; neither do I care for it. I just feel it should be part of the setting, just like all that blood, gore and guts are.

And for those conservative time-travellers, I'll direct you to one of my favourite quotes in correspondence to the topic:

"I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail
and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just
as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it
and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it's
madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering
vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure. Axes entering
skulls, well, not so much."

Precisely. & more often than not it gets annoying. Seriously CDPR forums are way better than BSN. They discuss issues there like mature people. 


Reason being that the forum is quite smaller than compared to BSN. And being a mature series of games, not surprising the people are generally mature themselves.


To be honest, mention anything BioWare there and you have a ****storm with 70% of them. But as long as you keep it in Obsidian/CDPR and some other devs, the topics are actually quite enjoyable.

Wasn't Saskia gay as well?  It's been awhile since I've played Witcher 2.

So what are you complaining about?  That Geralt can't be gay?  Because the games are based off the books and Geralt was never gay or even bisexual if I recall.  You don't get that kind of customization in the Witcher games like you would in Bioware RPGs.

Or are you thinking the fact that Delhmold was a ******, means that CS Projekt is against gay people?  That means nothing because gay people can be jerks just as much as other people.

Personally I don't really care whether or not a game includes homosexual characters, but it's funny how the Witcher 2 seems to get a pass from the rainbow brigade on BSN.

The Witcher 2, from my recollection had a two or three lesbian characters and one gay guy in Dethmold. Meaning the only representative of gays was a real ****** that tried to kill you. Yet that never gets mentioned, instead everyone hops on the Witcher 2 train cause of the ****** you get to see in the game. Hence my question.

So you don't count the gay women in the game as representatives of homosexuals?  Who cares if the only gay guy in the game was a ****** that tried to kill you.

What rule says that if you have only one gay man in a game that he has to be good in order to be a representative of gay people?  You act like it's some big thing when it's not.  Maybe if they had only 1 gay man in each Witcher game and he was a bad guy in each game then you'd be onto something about a bias against gay men but otherwise it's nothing to complain about.

Edit: Again, I don't really give a rats ass about whether or not gays are in game. I'm just asking why all the people on BSN who loudly proclaim that they want nude scenes and constantly refer to Witcher showing ******, when the Witcher 2 isn't exactly doing a good job working against the trope that all gays are evil.

You're reading waaaaaay to much into it. Homosexuality for the sake of homosexuality is just pointless. "Hey let's stick a gay dude in there so we look liberal!" Dethmold is gay because he is, there's no need for more or less, just like nudity. Nudity is nudity, nothing more, nothing less. It isn't going to "pervert our youth" or "represent video games as a vice."

If the Rainbow Brigade or Pink Elephant party or whatever-you-want-to-call-them have nothing against the Witcher 2 then fine. I've seen the same thing happen with other topics. CDPR are praised for almost everything they do, whether they kick a donkey or drown a cat, whilst BioWare...well BioWare is the child of the stereotypical Asian father, who must "always do better."

Funny thing is I think both the Witcher 2 and Dragon Age: Origins are the best modern rpgs I've played in many years, due to the story, gameplay, size, sound and overall immersion. Hell the Witcher 2 could've done underwear sex too for all I care and it would still be an amazing game. Showing a pair of ****** doesn't make a game great, nor is nudity the same maturity. In fact I found the sex scenes in the Witcher 2 to be a bit cringeworthy at best.

Bioware gets an unreasonable amount of flak for how they treat gender and sexuality issues simply because they are one of the first developers to directly address them. The same people who decry Biowares treatment of women and homosexuals (eg. Femshep romances etc etc) as far as I know, would not apply the same standards to a game like Batman... That is hypocritical. 

I would like to think that Dethmold is gay simply because that is what he is. He is not gay such that a box can be ticked for the sake of inclusivness and he is not evil because he is gay. 

The whole point of this argument is that sex and sexuality should not immediatley and exclusively be conflated with depravity and gratuitous objectification  - which you have done so nicely...

Who cares? I think it's pretty ridiculous that this topic is constantly being brought up on this forum. Nudity is about dead last on the things I care about that may or may not be in DA:I.

The fact that a character is gay should not have to do w/ whether that character is evil or not. No one whines about why an evil character is of a particular ethnicity, so why should anyone car whether a villain is gay or not? I think many people didn't really care and gay fans of TW2 (surely there are some) were probably happy to see a gay character that doesn't embody any sort of the usual gay stereotypes.

Trust me, it's really a minority that cares about nudity. Even polls conducted on the BSN forums shows that over half don't care about seeing them ****** in the game. It's silly argument that nudity is part of maturity in a video game.

I think people confuse maturity with setting. If you have a game like The Witcher set in a world which is basically Medieval Europe with Elves, Magic and Dwarves, you expect to see ****s, naked homless men, poor people who can't afford clothes etc... it doesn't have to be sexualised, it can be rather depressing and gritty.

I've been to third-world countires where I've literally seen men so poor the only thing they had wrapped around them was some worn out blanket they probably found in a bin. I won't find it hard imagining the same for a a Medieval Society.

Though Dragon Age is somewhat lighter than the Witcher, I find that its art-style hinders it in that respect. DA cities can look alot worse and worn down if only the engine supported it. With the Frostbite 3 engine, hopefully enviroments will fit the setting. So far it was like trying to recreate the movie "Black Death" with the Kingdom Hearts engine.

Not caring =/= not wanting. Nor does them not caring mean nudity should not be used if it is contextually appropriate.

In a sex scene nudity is appropriate. In return to Ostagar when we see Cailan's corpse nudity is appropriate. In Fort Drakon (?) where there's piles of stripped dead bodies nudity is appropriate.

Any attempt for the setting to be ultra grimdark will end in failure.

Blasphemer!

Oh and on topic, explicit nudity will keep certain retailers from stocking the game - so it is not so much an "artistic" design decision but a business one.

If Bioware would just make the game mod friendly, then at least the PC crowd could mod in whatever they wanted.Posted Image

My stance on nudity in games.


However, if BioWare decides to add nudity to their games, they better do it right, like The Witcher 2 or Heavy Rain (though the sex scene in Heavy Rain was laughable and hilariously awkward, the sex scene with Triss in The Witcher 2 was well done though).
