That's not the post I was talking about.


The only other post was me forming a response to you. Quite literally all I said was "nudity CAN be portrayed in an artistic fashion".

Then you agree that arguing for nudity because it adds artistry and maturity to the game is nonsense?


Not inherently, because it would depend on how the nudity is portrayed. In order for something to be nonsense, it would actually have to BE nonsense (like, for actual reasons), not just you saying that it is.


..... the way I look at it is, What would adding nudity to the game add to the game story romance.

IMO not a whole lot. i will say 95% of the posts here that "want more nudity"  just because they wanna see naked people. That is there ONLY motive.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. Some people see porn, something unclean or unnatural, others see it as natural. 

however. the game does not "need" nudity. so far most of the stories and romances have been more about relationships than just "Let bang ok?" Yes you could argue that Isabella's romance was that way but, in all honesty thats Isabella's personality, and if you go for the relationship with her, she ends up comeing to find and accept love from someone else. Did we really need to see Hawke and Isabella do sexy time naked. Not really.

In The Witcher, almost all the sex was clearly of the "Lets bang ok?" Type, about the only real relationship he has is with Triss.

This all comes down to "what is right for DA storytelling" do we need to see it, I don't think so, The nudity really will only draw in the teenagers, and sadly FNC agian for no other good reason but to have something on a slow news day.

I'd agree with you that romance scenes don't necessarily have to show nudity to be effective. I remember enjoying Isabela's where before the camera cuts away when all she'd discarded was her knives not her clothes. That said i found the Triss/Geralt elven bath sequence both amazing & witty. So if they feel they don't need to show nudity to have really effective sequences then ok, but if they are just avoiding nudity out of fear when it could be used to improive those sequences then it is less ok.

Don't worry, next theyll also put in every paraphilia know to men, making it finally palletable for my own sexual desires: humping fried chicken wangs.

If I wanted porn, I could just google it.


Why must we suffer under the tyrrany of artistic small penises? We've got to be equal opportunity: artistically portrayed big dicks. Let's go Bioware - time for Cullen to wear a bannana hammock in DA:I.

Nudity should where it is appropriate. DAI won't be an erotic game so there isn't any need for gratuitous nudity but some scenes just call for it. The most notorious example would be ME3 shower scenes with Traynor. Underwear just doesn't belong there. So if Bioware wants to make sex cutscene they should do it right or just fall back old tested "fade to black".

I think if nudity was portrayed responsibly, in a realistic manner, I would be satisfied.  If the situation calls for it, not including it is as bad as including gratuitous sex in other instances.  It pretty much means the VG industry is lacking the maturity necessary to deal with the issue.  Just like its customers.


This. The brief nudity in Dante's Inferno (between Dante and Beatrice) is a good example of how to do nudity in video games (even though that nudity was animated like a motion comic and not rendered in-engine), or the prologue scene in TW2 when Geralt and Triss wake up before the battle.

I hope we see creative camera angle usage, no fade to black and no controversial nudity so the focus can be on having compelling characters with a rich storyline that will enthrall us players.

Nudity, some nudity, or no nudity. After 33 pages of debate nothing is decided, because we're not the ones developing the game. Fall of 2014 will give us the answers, so this thread is like beating a dead horse. Useless!

I feel that there is tasteful nudity (ME and DAO), and then there's nudity just for nudity's sake (Witcher 2). Personally I could care less if there was nudity or not, so long as it's tastefully done which Bioware seems to always do.

i think not, there has to be a line of what is acceptable and full frontal nudity is unnecessary and too objectifying. DA:O had it right I want great game not a perverted porno.

Gamers don't need nudity to experience a good gameplay.

I'd rather have nudity then people showering with their clothes on like in ME3.

There is absolutely zero reason to have nudity in an RPG. The "nudity is cool" thing is childish.

I certainly don't want shower scenes (Traynor & ME3) or love scenes (DA:O) in the undies. I don't want witcher 2 either but I don't see Bioware taking it there. I certainly want something between DA:O and ME3 though. DA2 was lacking in the romance scene department...imo. Anyway, I say it depends on the scene.

QTE's and nudity go hand-in-hand.

In a weird world we live, I must say.  So I have to say this.

Looks like people don't care about massive amount of viloence, killing, heads being chopped off, cut off arms and legs.
Piles of bodies lying in a stream of blood.

All that is normal, tastefull and acceptable.
But few scenes with naked people and suddenly there is an massive outcry.

Take this for example.

Haven't seen anyone against scenes like this.

"What is tasteful, and acceptable" you say. Do you mean something like that is tasteful, really ? More acceptable than naked people having fun together ?

What kind of sick mentality it is.
Violence, even if it is in massive amounts and portrayed in brutal, drastic way  === no, problem. that is acceptable.
People being naked and/or making sex === taboo, tasteless, childish.

So my question is why ? If anyone can tell me why something closer to human, something that is a pleasure is treted as some worst kind of evil, and at the same time people kiling each other is perfectly acceptable.

The reason Bioware doesn't put nudity in their game is not because somebody or something is censoring them against their will.

The reason that Bioware doesn't put nudity in their game is because Bioware doesn't want to put nudity in their game. And to be honest, I don't think that Bioware should be forced to put something into the game that they don't want to put into the game.

The answer to the question of "Should there be nudity, or no?" is "There should only be nudity if Bioware wants to put nudity into the game".

The answer to the question "Does Bioware want to put nudity into their game?" is "Not at the present time, no."

The fact that I didn't get laid with those two bisexual chicks last night is religion's fault. Everything that goes wrong is religion's fault or more specifically God's fault right?

Actually it's you far-westerners. At least in America where scenes of mindless violence is okay but a bit of side boob isn't. Europe isn't like that (well I'm sure there are a few places like that) so it's more of a cutural thing. Take all these European games that have come out from The Witcher 2 to Heavy Rain as examples. They have full frontal nudity in them. Meanwhile 16-18+ movies that have romance scenes in them don't shy away from showing some nudity.

So it's more related to games.

I have heavy rain.need to play it.
Wonder if Beyond Two Souls will have nudity.
Bethesda seems to get along fine without nudity and we know Bioware wants to copy their success with skyrim.
By the same token there are tons of Bethesda mods for the pc versions of their games including nudie and porn mods allegedly .

I'll consider saying yes when you can have nudity (or sex, or kissing, or any intimate contact) in a game that doesn't look utterly ridiculous.

I thought it was a "the entire concept of 'tastefulness' is bollocks" attack, rather than any kind of defense.
