Will it be boobies, sexual stufff?
will it be gore, blood all around, and body parts flying? how in depth? I haven't seen much of this on the gameplay
Will it be the worldly problems that can relate to our world?
Or anything else?
I would like to see a reason what would make this game a mature kind of game and not just a rated mature but a rated T gameplay. so any thoughts?

Please note that is it PEGI 18 as the european game rating system doesn't operate with a rating of 17+ (Mature). But with PEGI 18 and PEGI 16. (and PEGI 3, 7 and 12). Please also note that mostly the PEGI system will allow the show of partial nudity if it is presented in a context where it is natural. (just information here). Also, Germany has its own rating system, called the USK. Other countries have other rating systems, both for games and for movies.
As for what will make DA: Inquisiton a mature game, I really don't think adding boobies and other sexual stuff in the game will make it more mature; adolescent maybe, but certainly not mature. DA: Origins is labeled as aMature game (or in Europe mostly, PEGI 18), not mainly for its sexual stuff, but for the way it presents its themes, topics and subjects. Would a 12 year be able to understand the complexity of say the choice in the quest/mission where you have to choice between killing an innocent woman (a mother) or killing demon/child (as I remember it). I think not.
Also, DA: Origins is a very political game, most notable in the form of the Landsmeet. But if you're playing a mage elf and have Wynne in your party she has some really interesting thing to say about some people's view on elves, among other things that dismissal of elves etc. usually comes for fear etc. (as always, this is just information) I, for one, hope to see Bioware using the same way of making the game mature.
As for for why ratings are useful:
Let me just mention the quest: A paragon of her kind; even I got scared.(and I'm well over 45) Not to mention this: Would a 12 or 15 year old boy or girl understand this;.would or could they possibly comprehend that the darkspawn makes new darkspawn by forcing females of all races underground turning them into birth machines. Could or wouldn't there be a risk that the 12 or 15 year old boy or girl came to think of their own mothers; I suggest to you, yes certain this could happen. And such is the nature of the ratings for both games and movies. They are there to protect our children from what they might no be old enough to understand* e.g. that something which happens in a game (or in a movie) is indeed fictional i.e. happening in an imaginary world.
(that Bioware or the movie's director has made up). * And by understand have the cognitive facilities to recognize that this part or this part or the whole game or movie takes place in world that is entirely fictional.
edit:
spelling
thank you so much for clarifying about DA: O contents and the ESRB and PEGI ratings. Yes, I see that the themes are more important than the sexual stuff (mind you i don't mind seeing sexual stuff though).
From what Allan Schumacher said about watching RoboCop and Friday the 13th, he was pointing out that parental supervision is important to these mature stuff. We should know though that whatever ratings a game is, juvenile-adolescence will still try to play these kinds of games. It will be a safe bet that a 13 year old is being a gangster by now playing GTA: 5 (I'm not playing that since that game's not my teapot eventhough I'm already way past the mature rating). This might cause media outbreak how ridiculous the game is or why the game's even allowed. I see this as an artistic barrier in which artistic talents, like BIoware, are being barred to show what the real potential this game is trying to convey through teams.
So my next questions are:
Once the game is release should there be an extra precaution or caveat that should be put up before the game starts that the game is for mature audience only and if they agree, they are agreeing that they are mature audience and can't file complaints if the player is actually just a teenager and younger?
Would this ward off media attention effectively?
Is BioWare actually intimidated on what the media say that affects their writing process?
Note: I'm not putting this thread as a flare war but to just gain honest feedback and knowledge from the community. I just want to know if this game will be awesome because it is what the game creators want it meant to be and not because it was shaped by media opinions due to their reaction towards mature nudity/violence/graphic/theme eventhough it is in context.
