Seriously, there needs to be torture scenes in DA3. Preferably player controlled. The game is called Inquisition ffs.



You get to torture Mages on the pro-Templar route, Templars on the pro-Mage route, and everyone on the Psycho route. And of course, you can skip all the torture scenes on the Dudley-Do-Right route. But I get the feeling that most people here would want to vent against at least someone in the DA universe (see "Let us kill X" threads).

This would be a golden opportunity for black humor a la Monty Python, Sergio Leone, and Quentin Tarantino. BioWare, do not waste this opportunity. Make it worth its M rating. Thank you.

Gleefully seconded.

The ESRB wouldn't allow that.

I was wondering when the Spanish Inquisition stuff was going to start.

[Vandicus]

I have to admit this is both hilarious and a pretty good idea. There is genuinely no reason for a more hardline Inquisitor to avoid getting his hands dirty when investigating the mastermind of this crazy war.

I'm sorry, I stopped paying attention when I noticed the cartoon version of Cardinal Biggles.

All joking aside, and being relatively more useful to discussion - The Inquisition was a terrible period in history full of horrific injustice and disgusting crimes against humanity.

With a title like "Dragon Age: Inquisition" you're opening the door to some pretty horrific things, I will be disappointed if Bioware don't explore some of the darker aspects of humanity.

I have a feeling they would.  There's torture scenes aplenty in SW:TOR.  And that game is rated T.  I have a feeling that tongue-in-cheek torture that is meant to be more humorous in nature is fine.

I want the protagonist to bust into a room and yell you'll never expect the Inquisition.

Despite the inherent humor of the post I believe the OP is serious about having real torture scenes. They may involve humor but its of the dark humor sort. Not like bringing in the comfy chari. I happen to agree with him, it would help add more darkness to the atmosphere. Not necessarily in the mage vs templar sense, but in the interrogating people for information sense, much like a gang would be willing to crack some skulls to get info.

Why not? What they dislike most is sex and nudity. So as long as the torture doesn't involve stripping and raping I think they'll be fine with it.

Indeed. The darker aspects of humanity is what I feel a main focus of the DA series.

There are torture scenes in DA2 (Lost shipments) and ME2 (Thane's quest) too. As long as the torture is completely optional to the player, I think it's fine.

Yes, I think it'd be pretty absurd if you're only allowed to be nice and polite as an Inquisitor (a medieval religious prosecutor), given the amount of violence Renegade Shepard (a futuristic intergalactic government agent) and Aggressive Hawke (a business person/explorer) are capable of.

Dark Broterhood ? Dawnstar Sanctuary (Skyrim) has a torture chamber and you can torture people there

Fourth Wall, meet Wrecking Ball. We all knew it was going to happen.

The Manhunt games and Mad World are ESRB approved games, and those are both torture porn type games. (granted, Mad World is cartoony torture porn, but torture porn nonetheless.)

Bad examples. The ESRB actually made Rockstar cut certain things from Manhunt and Madworld isn't torture porn nor is it realistic in any way.

 They had better makke at least one Monty Python reference after calling the game 'Inquisition'! I won't buy it if they don't! 

[Apollo Starflare]

I can see it now:

PC: Cardinal Hawke! Fetch... the comfy chair.

[Direwolf0294]

I'm hoping there will be lots of interrogation scenes that we can handle in really different ways. Torture, good cop bad cop like Thane's mission in ME2, hanging the bad guy over an edge and saying "I'm counting on it" before dropping him. Stuff like that.

[AlienWolf728]

Ignore Atakuma. She likes to tell people "You want something? No you can't have that".

When i was in Toledo Spain I visited an exhibition regarding the Inquisition, and as part of my travels I even visited the palace that was the headquarters of the Inquisition near Madrid.


Let me just say that the exhibition in Toledo had a very profound impact on me. There's something powerful and utterly revolting in seeing the actual implements of torture alongside models depocting how they were used, up close and within reach. Something about it really made me cognizant of how these events were horrifyingly real, and unimaginably evil, and were done to real people with hopes, dreams, and feelings just like I have. Just like you have.

And the ability of humanity to descend to the uttermost depths of evil in the name of belief or ideology should never, ever, be forgotten. Too many people are far too quick to resort to violence and torture even today.

So if Bioware does intend to tackle such a dark and mature theme in DA3, I hope that they do so in such a way as to help everyone feel as deeply affected by that experience as I was by that exhibition in Spain. It would be service to humanity if they do.

I know the op was kidding around. I normally like to kid along with the best of them. But, in this case, I was thinking of posting my ....thoughts.... on the subject anyways. Sorry if i'm being a killjoy.

I love when they cut stuff for being over sexualised, it makes me laugh, they cut it and yet in other games you can blow peoples faces to **** with guns.

Sure, I think this would be a good thing to put in on the "evil" track, if your character is the inquisitor. Lots of games have "torture" in them; it all depends how its implemented. Usually it's some kind of electric shock or beating, and not excruciatingly detailed torture porn. I don't see why this couldn't be in the game. In fact, I'm guessing it probably already is.

Of course. For some reason my mind skipped a beat and decided the OP wanted to go all Hostel on people.
