After you're done telling Bioware they're doing it wrong, why don't you talk to these guys...

Sex sells, when will people (Mostly women) understand this will not change?

When men are objectified to sell me products on a daily... hourly basis, so...

probably never.

When I feel the OP is unnecessarily ****ing about pointless things, I feel obligated to be an ass.

If you aren't seeing men being objectified to sell products, you just aren't looking at the right products. About 90% of the ads I get feature men in various states of undress.

Not that I'm complaining, though.

I'm a girl.

I like skimpy stuff on both male and female characters.

I am no prude. It does not cause me discomfort. That is why when I pick up an M-rated game, I don't get upset.

Thank you, good to know there's people like you out there.

I don't know about that Joy Division. I think it's mostly an issue of common sense like steel swords cut through cloth/skin, but dent steel armor or rarely pierce through it(unless attacking joints).

Would they be able to stop a small platoon of goth/maximilian armored knights?

Nudity really doesn't faze me. (And even less so when it's presented in the form of pixels.)

I am more disturbed by people who are threatened by it. 

^ that

Couldn't agree more. I was raised here in Canada, but by a European family, so growing up seeing how Conservative America is is absolutely ridiculous. I personally blame religion.

Ugh...

Another crusader for practical this and sensible that.

Your right...the game should be Dragon Age: The Chantry Tax Audit, or Dragon Age: The Darkspawn Housing Program.

Actually... it'd be awesome to have a semi nude male companion. Bare-chested and muscular, yes please.

Oh... er... pardon me.

I like where this is going~

Are you saying men aren't objectified to sell products? Certainly not to the same extent as women, but we are catching up...

Oh sir, you misunderstand me.

I said "When men are objectified to sell ME products" not you. I can't think of any commercials selling ME a product with a half-naked man. The only objectifying sales pitches involving men that I've ever seen are selling things like old spice, blue jeans, shaving gel, razors, etc. The idea behind that sort of advertising is simple: "use this product, look like THIS /manly grunting"

While women are there to sell you cars, alcohol, video games, movies, plastered on your billboards, in your magazines, on your computer in the adspace, etc.

You know what? I'm going to abandon my gimmick posting for a minute to address this.

I'm tired of Bioware's escalation into cartoonish sexualization to pander to nerds. **** like Isabella, Miranda's outfit, EDI, Ashley. It's stupid and embarrassing. Especially for a company that likes to pass itself off as a master of storytelling and equality.

Your right about Edi, Ashley and Miranda. Bioware dropped the ball on ME3. Isabella however, I have no problem with. I don't have a problem that she wasn't wrapped in heavy plate like the OP seems to think she should have been.

Remember, objectification WITHOUT characterisation is what should be avoided and i thought Isabella was a pretty complex character.

Like I said earlier:

I don't get what's so taboo about any of the outfits mentioned. I'm shocked that there was no mention of Jack's outfit, being that it's essentially a harness to contain her nipples. Is it because she's not overtly sexualized?

It kind of boils down to this: is it their outfit or their sexuality that you're uncomfortable with?

In my experience, people love to write off Isabela as a floozy but that is in fact completely sexist.
