Ok, for those of you who simply share an opinion that you don't need nudity (neither do I), this isn't aimed at you. There are people that are agressively caustic to those of us who point out its benefits, though, and that's apparently why this thread exists. So this is aimed at them.
Enjoy your popcorn.
This is my only post for the thread.

It's true. Bioware doesn't need to add bare breasts and genitals to prove that they're "mature" or "not in the 50s".
Sooo.. Basically you're saying you're afraid of nudity and are just fine with conservatism deciding what we can and can't enjoy or find engaging or evocative or provacative or otherwise entertaining and worthwhile? You like your bland entertainment just fine, thanks? You're afraid someone will think you're weird if they see a pixelated breast on your screen? Or does that go for film too? Don't know why anybody would waste their time going to arthouse cinema or what the fuss is over all this classical artwork? You don't like to think about all those pesky social issues? You just feel awkward when you see somebody mention the subject and you don't know why?
No? Ok, fine. You have nothing to worry about from BioWare in the immediate future. Don't worry. They've apparently got your back.
In the meantime, I hope they do spend the necessary resources to make the romances more effective and worthwhile for those of us who'd rather not be stuck with a shallow experience. Romance is important to a lot of our enjoyment of BioWare's games. It's central to some of our characters' stories and we might feel that it provides personal motivation and urgency. Those of us that enjoy that aspect, or even prioritize it as an important part of the experience, not to the exclusion of the whole, but in part, might want to improve on it such that it maintains and enhances the overall experience. It doesn't do anybody any good for the romances to become more tedius and trivial, to the point that they detract from the game rather than enhance it. And why you wouldn't improve on an important aspect of a game that could certainly do with massive improvement, I don't know.
Sorry to get terse, but you made a whole thread to condescend to a lot of people and generally show your irrational discomfort with the actual discussions some of us occasionally have here. When somebody makes an arguement in favor of this for whatever reason is outlined in the post, it's a good idea to take it at face value, because it might actually be coming from somewhere real, as opposed to just assuming 'that's bad' because somebody told you 'that's bad' somewhere along the way, and it makes you uncomfortable because of it. Nothing personal, but I've seen a lot of dismissiveness from people on your side of the arguement here. If somebody tells you why something's mature, you ("you" meaning the number of people who engage in this behaviour here) go all "mature". If somebody tells you why it's socially important (i.e.: There are people out there who think like you for the reasons you do and worse, and there are negative societal repercussions because of that.), you dismiss that too. If somebody tells you how it can add to the emotional weight and gravitas of a scene, you dismiss that on the grounds that you personally don't need to feel any more than you're already comfortable with, thank you very much. If somebody lays out the symbology and the instant psychological impact the use of nudity in different contexts brings to a scenario, you dismiss that too. Always with a derisive tone. No thought.
So, try to think outside your own frame of reference a little bit. Stop reading into everything said and replacing the meaning with your own personal bias just to prop up your position.
Ok, made my point. Enjoy the thread.
