I must admit that DA2 is a lot more timid than DAO in. I just want to say that Dragon Age is M for a reason. Don't be afraid to use that M. I'm not saying abuse it and make everything overly ridiculous. But being timid in certain areas is also bad too.

I never really understand the idea that certain topics specifically are mature or not.
Whenever I see the idea come up I can usually expect to see people list things like rape, incest, torture, and so forth. It seems that people equate taboo with mature. It seems to me that whether or not a subject matter is mature depends more on how it's discussed.
I could have a mature presentation of friendship, and how that pertains to life and what social relationships mean to each other in the world of Thedas.
Or even death. Death never comes up, but for me it was arguably the most maturing moment that had happened in my life when I lost my brother when I was 13. Death happens in spades in video games though, and I wouldn't say it's typically dealt with in a mature fashion (not that that's a bad thing. I just blew up 4 tanks in World of Tanks and it was fun!). But I certainly see the way that Mother Amell treats the loss of her child and it strikes up empathy in me because I can understand, on some level, how that feels. The irrational anger and mood swings and all that. Just as an example.
