I'm ambivalent. I don't really care if sex is shown/implied in the game or not. I'm more interested in how the characters' personalities develop within the framework of that romance.

I don't care, for example, if Hawke and Anders are shown having sex or not. They're living together, so I'm going to assume intercourse occurs regularly, unless I receive information to the contrary. What matters is the progression of their characters as a result of this development.

When I want porn, I go and watch porn. I play Bioware games because I want a good story with interesting characters. If sex is a part of that story, good. If it isn't, that's good too.

My thoughts exactly...

I can agree with this. The fact that my smuggler in TOR tried to sleep with every woman he met, regardless of species, and the reactions, successful or not, were part of what made him fun to play.

I'd appreciate it if they'd put in some more peculiar options like your LI cheating on you, buying a companion a stripper for his birthday, dealing with your troops getting lonely and bored due to unavailability of women, stuff like that.

I don't want to play a character that actually sleeps with everything that moves, but I would like to have the option to play an outrageous flirt.

Isn't Bioware in Canada? So why are they even bothered with FoxNews? And even then infame is just another kind of fame.

Bioware should made AO uncut for PC as least - as its anyway on Origin or some other web market(GOG can sell AO games), where you can sell it without any problems. Imagine how much publicity that would get you!

I meant more of a public like system under each post. Most forums use it.

Seriously though, it was hard trying to role-play my Hawke as incredibly promiscuous, in total I could only sleep with about... 4-5. Psh. My Warden was practically a professional, uh, something, by that time.

I had no problem roleplaying a promiscuous Hawke. Not only did she sleep with all of the romance options (except Sebastian, the party pooper), she also slept with everyone at the Blooming Rose. Twice. And she flirted with everyone that she possibly could.

That was a fun character.

I definitely agree, while I didn't sleep with every LI, I think Hawke went through Isabela (that's like a prequisite), Anders and Fenris (whom she eventually ended up romancing) and of course, the Blooming Rose.

But it was so much to finally play a character whose faced with all this responsbility and responds simply with "I'd love to, but I'm busy trying to hump this persons leg"

[rapscallioness]

Yes! I'd like the option. Even if I don't partake of it....at least on diff. playthru's. I doubt BW will do anything like that, tho.

There was this one guard in DA2, after my FemHawke helped to defeat those Raiders, in the Viscount Keep.....oh, man, his accent was so smexy. His voice. That's one NPC that got away. Darn.

Was it Carver's voice? The same VA? It sounded similar, but a lil more accent-y.

I liked it.

How about no romance? It seems it's all 80% of the community can talk about, in various shapes, sizes and flavours.

Go play a dating sim or something.

I like you.

Carefull. First it's "I like you." and then ZAP! Frogtime!

[Welsh Inferno]

Sure why not. Those at the Pearl, Cammen/Gheyna & others were amusing. Hell, just getting a kiss from an NPC like Bella gave some funny companion dialogue.

This.

Any weight Dragon Age's romance has had is in the narrative aspect of it, not in how much animated semi-nudity people try to get out of it.

Seems to me that Bioware embraces sexuality plenty as it is. I know of no other game company that even allows players to express homosexual desires through their characters, let alone act out a homosexual relationship.

I'd rather they didn't show nudity, personally, but my concerns are practical, not moral.

Firstly, sex is difficult to animate. The developers struggle to create convincing kissing as it is.

Secondly, the country I live in doesn't provide an R-rating for videogames. Anything that doesn't qualify for MA is simply refused classification and not sold here. So if being "prudish" means I'll actually get to play Dragon Age III, then Bioware should be as prudish as necessary.

There have been many games that allow homosexual relationships. Bioware does that too which is good but I didnt really mean that. What I meant is that they shouldnt think of nudity as something to be frowned upon or feared which seems to be the case rather often.

"Firstly, sex is difficult to animate. The developers struggle to create convincing kissing as it is. "

This I agree with. If sex isnt convincing it breaks immersion. But nudity can be animated without being cheesy. I recall the witcher 2 doing it somewhat well. Being sensual is important, not what moves you show. If biowares current animators arent up to the job they either need to improve or be replaced.

"Secondly, the country I live in doesn't provide an R-rating for videogames. Anything that doesn't qualify for MA is simply refused classification and not sold here. So if being "prudish" means I'll actually get to play Dragon Age III, then Bioware should be as prudish as necessary."

This is unfortunate for you and I'm sorry your government is retardedly prudish and controlling but its only restrictive to a small part of the players. I dont like getting an inferior product due to retarded censorship. Also that means that you either live in germany or australia and in both cases I'm sure there are means to buy or order the game from abroad. Possession isnt illegal as far as I know. Even if it is you shouldnt be afraid of breaking a bad law. If its entirely impossible for you to buy a banned game im sure theres a certain way that your government has no control over. Its acceptable in that situation.

I have no problem with this as long as it isn't one sided. If they are going to show female privates onscreen, they
should do the same with male privates. I am so tired of still seeing the old double standard in this day and age. I'm not suggesting putting up a "Full Monty" onscreen, but there are at least some of us women out
there that enjoy viewing the male physique. All too often, I get bombarded with views of women's boobs, (which I could care less about),  when all I really want to see is a guys bare butt.

Agree. Nothing wrong with full frontal btw if its done well but it shouldnt be one sided. Nor any other nudity for that matter. I cant think of a reason why a guy would be afraid of seeing the same parts they have themselves.

you know the Casual thing could bite you in the butt, if done in a sucs=essfull way the players would want him/her to be a full romanceable char and have babies, I've seen so many posts go down that route

gee if this keeps up DA:I will remind me of fable pretty soon.

Why? When I started this thread I didn't suggest that it would be "AWESOME!" if we could fart on NPCs and give gifts to people and start families in Inquisition. All I was suggesting was that we have a few NPCs we could hook-up with (e.g. at a tavern) or pay for certain services (like we could at The Pearl in Denerim in Dragon Age: Origins).

[unbentbuzzkill]

@ the teryn of whatever


well i personally never farted on anybody in the fable games that was a bit childish, but it stands to reason that if DA:O and DA2 had brothels so it's a no brainer DA:I will too. and as for the "casual sex partners" DA:O had zevran and morrigan, DA2 had isabella who pretty much slept with everybody but aveline,merrill and anders. So yeah DA:I will have more of the same will they be NPC's or companions who knows we don't have any info yet. But with "casual sex partners" might also come with STD's and that's one thing i don't want i can't tell you how many times my PC got a std in the fable games.

[The Teyrn of Whatever]

There's no need for STDs. I'm just of the opinion that if players want to play their character as a rake or a tart (depending on the character's gender naturally) then that option should be available. I also believe that they should be able to pursue shallow, meaningless encounters with NPCs outside of love interest companions.

[unbentbuzzkill]

but if that is the case i feel imo there should be some kind of consequence for doing so but only if you are romancing someone.

[Volus Warlord]

All the romances are casual already tbh. It's not like you have to try hard.

All the romances are with low hanging fruit.

Insane US prudishness

No, the blood, intestines and beheadings are fine. OMG MORE BOOB.

Indeed. Sexuality is great. People need to embrace it.

Developers need to stop being such prudes or stop obeying the retarded prudes. Besides they get more publicity if fox news goes into ragemode and any intelligent person will know that boobs arent bad. Also if a media like fox news hates a game I will probably love it and buy it.

Hire someone from IGN again (which is own by the same corp who owns FNC) and watch them go crazy by saying "Bioware tricked some sap from IGN to be a bisexual (or better yet a gay or lesbian character) in this video game!"  

[KirstyLionheart]

Yeah I'm thinking some people here need to get girlfriends. Either that or go watch pron. Most of us prefer tasteful romances, so why should our gameplay be ruined by that pointless vulgarity that the select few are so desperate for.
Remember these games aren't all about the damn romances. I'm more interested in the story and having in-depth conversations.

I think somewhat funny that many people dismissed the Witcher games as vulgar because you could do a lot of casual sex.

ikr it's not like it happens irl or anything.

honestly i dont know why romances are the main thing people talk about there is so much more to the game. dont get me wrong i dont dislike them i just dislike the popularity of them on the forum over other things like combat or open world etc. I did like having a dirty girl on the side in mass effect 2 and 3 i had kelly and... what was her name .. uh that reporter chick .  more of that would be cool, not my biggest priority though.
