As for the whole Fox News thing about Mass Effect being a fully interactive Sex Simulator, the "moral majority" are going to object to the game. Fox News is going to object to the game. Fox News is going to make up crap that doesn't exist to give themselves more ammunition against the gaming industry. People will try to defend it and point out that Fox News is over-reacting with actual facts and not the "I heard from a friend who didn't actually play it... neither have I" and Fox News will shut them up and go to commercial. It's what they do when you don't jump on their "video games are the root of all evil" propaganda bandwagon.
What happened to the days of Duke Nukem 3D where there was an actual toggle in game that turned the censor blub on or off? Do that. Make actual nudity, make underwear nudity, then put a toggle in options that allows us to turn the underwear on or off. It's rated M, not T.
Finally, I am one of the people that thought that Traynor taking a shower in her underwear and bra was completely stupid. Do women do that? Sure, when they want to be super-sexy for some over the top sexual teasing play maybe, but that's not what that scene was... so having her stay in the underwear was completely stupid. I'd rather have seen only back shots or such stuff (gosh, maybe like they did with the Liara sex scenes in ME3? Seriously... WTF Bioware, why can Liara get naked and be all teasing with creative "camera angles" so you never actually see any "naughty" bits but no other women can? That's another thing totally dumb as ****)

Oh that, yes. That scene there embodies the whole problem with nudity in Bioware games. Yes, we can have the great big discussion over whether nudity should be in there or not (I know, a bit redundant to say that on page 51 of a thread on the topic), but the real problem is they create these scenes of situations where there is no remotely plausible reason for the characters to be clothed and then... inappropriate underwear moment.
If you're not going to show the characters nude, then for crying out loud create scenes which are angled not to show anything, add some strategically placed scenery, fade to black at an appropriate point, anything but show me people showering semi-clad or engaging in some misguided and awkward attempt to have sex through their underwear . Dragon Age may be one of the few games in existence where nude mods make certain scenes look less silly.

But I'll bet just about anything that there won't be. The ridiculous modesty that has wormed it's way back into the Western World since the seventies will see to that.

Yes, there should be nudity. Both genders, full frontal. It's a game I suppose will be rated M for Mature.

... umm you do know that M does not cover full frontal nudity right? At least not the ESRB scale.
Full frontal is raited A for Adult, 18+ Nudity.

Tell that to The Witcher 2, Dante's Inferno, and Metro: Last Light.

I agree, they could have done something that would have looked more appropriate than what they ended up with.Narrow Margin wrote...

No, I wasn't aware. I am not from the US, so I am not familiar with the intricate rating system there. In Denmark, where I live, full frontal nudity is 16+, and that's the highests rating anything can have, and that's how DA:O was rated. More due to violence than to explicit sexual content.

Nah... we do have an 17 (super rare) and even an 18 too ( rare), but those too are rarely seen and have more to do with violence, i think. Or the occassionally 18 that is translated directly from M of the esrb, because our rating system can be lazy, I guess.

Yes, in Germany it's similar. In general, 18+ are only shooters and games with a lot of violence and gore.

That doesn't include penis or vagina.
and yes that is acceptable in the M 17+ rating.

I'm not saying that they're hugely important, but to exclude them as a point of principle in a game where severed limbs fly in every single one of the numerous fights that you will doubtlessly be forced into, I think is a deeply silly (and potentially harmful) way to go.
In fact, seeing such things could only increase the feeling of realism, something that the Dragon Age games seem to be aiming for. I'm not talking about porn, and the exposure would not even necessarily have to occur within the scope of a love scene. People tend to be naked for all kinds of reasons, and I'd just like to see them represented as they are. There really is no reason for game developers or anyone else to be so skittish about it. Now, a penis or vagina in a serious game is not going to happen anytime soon, but I kind of think that it should. It would be a step forward for society in general.

Don't believe EA would ever approve it anyway.
I'm hoping for creative camera angles/ scenes like Shep and Liara in ME1.
I would be happy with that.

We agree. It was an invalid excuse when they made it, and it's just as invalid today.
Literally nobody is arguing otherwise.
The "asari are women" thing started as a side comment. I have no idea why it grew. The main point was "there's no homosexuality in ME (before ME3)", which is also blatantly wrong.
I think the problem is that most gamers (and most developers) are stereotypically men. So, when you show the stereotypical straight male two men kissing or having sex they say "OMG that's sick." Then, you show them two women kissing or going further to actual sex and it becomes "OMG that's HOT!"
It's the double standard of the straight male homophobe that gay men are sick in the head, but lesbians are super hot.
So, when people say "There is no homosexuality in ME before 3" what they really should be saying is "There is no male homosexuality in ME before 3" but, they won't say that because lesbians aren't homosexual (again, to the stereotypical male homophobe.)
