And here I thought nothing could shock me anymore...

Humans trying to get Bioware to include their fetishes in a game now? Really? What the hell, humanity?


Next they'll be demanding Isabella romance a tentacle monster.

Rape is a very serious topic and should be approached with caution. Remember that comment by the Lara Croft team about the main hero being raped? You can't just say "then she/he gets raped" and expect people to follow along without being perplexed (for the lack of a better word).


Which was a complete overreaction on everyone's part.

Rape is not worse than murder. Yet is so often treated as the worst possible thing and even the discussion is frowned upon.


As for the OP: Putting an extensive rape story into a game that has only mildly covered it before just because.. why? It played a part in the Elf origins to give the Elf Origin a villain, and also to partly (and violently) show the social differences between Humans and Elves. Why would it be in future games? Killing is fine because you and your teammates are fighting wars, killing Darkspawn etc - not going around raping people or being raped.

Okay, so I guess no one's looking for a
normal discussion. But what if women could rape men too? There's no
sexism there, and I'd actually like that.


Rape is not restricted to male aggressors. Women doing the raping can and does happen.

It's not a matter of like (if you allow it to happen, it's no longer considered rape). It's a matter of approaching a subject that is universally accepted to being wrong and unethical and you wanting to perform so odd fantasy. You might as well be saying; "I want to rape people because screaming and crying is music to my ears."

Seriously, are you even thinking this through? Posted Image

I think some people may be over-reacting.

It was just a suggestion. For a fictional character. In a fictional world. It is a 18's game, and I have no qualm with it as long as we don't have to see it. That would be taking it too far. Hinting, preventing or having it happening off screen would provide an emotional bond and sympathy with your character.

But no if in anyway we'd see it.

ETA: Also, it's not like rape isn't already a part of DA, it's just hinted at, and shown to happen to other characters.

Character element: Ramsay Snow.

Too meek to be Ramsay Snow. He hasn't even pulled out of a flay knife.

Now I think you're just trolling, you cant be serious and even if you were I doubt you'd be dumb enough to put this info out on the web.

I don't say I agree to it beforehand, there's no way for the person to know what I want. The intent of rape is acted upon, and what I want is irrelevant. The rapist is still a rapist.

I actually agree that we shouldn't see anything. It could be presented in fade to black format. Posted Image

Seriously, you don't belong on this planet and it's a good thing some of us don't know who you are or where you live/work.

Bioware should get rid of the rom feature as it's destroying what little dignity these forums have left, for soon there'll be threads clamoring for bestiality, bi curious robots, Teletubbies, tentacles, zombie sex. and Qunari booty sweat. It's the only way.

Usually, BS like this is kept to fanfiction though and not proposed to be an actual in-game thing. Just disgusts me.

Are you fighting the person off? Do you cry for help? Because if you just sit there and take it it's not rape.

And seeing as how you aren't discussing the game anymore I'm just going to leave.

You do realize that rape has absolute zero to do with romance, yes?  

Because if you don't, I hope to god you never get a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Forms of rape in Dragon Age:

- City Elf Origin.
- Desire Demons luring victims in sexually and then consume their energy.
- Every single Broodmother (bloody hell by the way).

There's quite enough as is. Have I missed any?

Sorry, no, bolded is false.  Lack of consent is all that's required for it to be rape.  "Not fighting hard enough" doesn't equal consent.
