It wasn't full frontal nudity, but it wasn't a ridiculous small cloth/blackout scene. I think it would be nice to see at least that in DA3.

If the DA teams wants they could even do a Witcher 2 style romance scene.I can confirm that no little boys had their heads explode as a result of watching the Witcher 2 scenes, so I'm sure Fox News will leave it alone. If not you can point out God of War and Witcher 2 and use them as a scapegoat.

My preference would be to not do any sex scene at all, to be honest. I know that any such aversion means we get posts of how we must be being censored, or how we're not embracing the "adult" grittiness that is the Witcher, but meh.

It's silly that cyclical genocide is accepted in BW games, but showing a nipple is not. It's the false sense of a "Disney-like decapitation for the whole family" feeling that bothers me more than showing the actual sex scene.

While it's fun to build strawmen and loudly proclaim that it's our sense of hypocritical puritan morality that's holding us back, as was mentioned, we simply don't feel that the resources required for building realistic-looking sex scenes for a wide variety of characters (because remember, you have options both in terms of who the other party is as well as your own gender, which is an enormous cost multiplier versus a single-protagonist game with limited partners) are a good use of said resources.

Other companies are free to choose how they allocate resources differently. I'm not suggesting one is better or worse than the other, but again - it's not something we choose to do. You are free to ascribe whatever sinister motivations to that that you wish, as I am sure many will.

Alright, let's cut out the bickering. Address the topic, but there's no need to dissect each other's posts to find the hidden meaning.

As I said. Let's cut it out with the bickering, and if you'd like to discuss the topic at hand, please do so. Otherwise, I will lock the thread.

I am european, so I like The Witcher sex scene. Is that bad ? Am I some kind of pervert? Should I see the doctor?Any help would be appreciated......

Perhaps your difficulty stems from the assumption that the only reason one might not want to have a sex scene in the game is because we find them morally objectionable or because we think that only perverts would like them? That's really not the case, but if you can't get past that idea then maybe you should indeed see someone about your problem. Perhaps it's not our issue, after all, but yours.

Hm,I see official responses here, that such scenes are wasted resources.

We did not say that.

All John said was that sex scenes are expensive, particularly when one accounts for all the variations required, and there are better things we can do with those resources-- there are ways to bring the romance arc to culmination without having it come down to sex. My personal take is that too many people think that's the point of those arcs-- engage romance, have sex scene, done.

Which, if that's what they're into, is grand. That need not be the case, and there are other things we can do with our cinematic time with regards to the romance... and if the culmination does involve sex, my preference is still the kissing and lead-up to the sex with a fade-to-black rather than shots of nude (or partially-clothed) characters having simulated/suggested sex. Again, I imagine someone will simply suggest I'm a prude, or even go so far as to state that only North Americans would avoid graphic sex in a game that glorifies graphic violence. I don't think it needs to be avoided, personally, though I also think the things don't have to equate. Sex can be done tastefully, but it also behooves us to occasionally do things with our romances rather than have them be about titillation. And if you don't think they currently are, that's great-- but it would be easy for some to get that impression.

Ultimately it's a stylistic choice. Not more complicated than that. If your preference is a game that has both graphic sex and graphic violence together, that's super-- good thing there are games that offer you that. This won't be one.

You already did the sex scenes in ME2 and 3

And we've done sex scenes for Dragon Age, as well. Though we tend to do them differently-- Morrigan and Zevran had their scene at the start of the romance. Other scenes don't wait until the very end of the game to occur. Again, just a stylistic difference.

In this specific case, we're talking about DA3. And we're also talking about the preferences of the developers who have posted on this thread-- there are always different opinions on the team, just as there are different approaches between the teams. We may have sex scenes in the end, though they definitely won't be graphic, and our preference would be to find some tasteful alternatives for the romance culmination scenes... self-righteous strawman arguments on our forums notwithstanding.

EDIT: And Chris has locked the thread. So I'll leave it there.
