They should be as Classy as Mass Effect 1. Those artsistic fadings...
You're not getting a video game for its sex scenes... or are you?

Mass Effect 1 had it right. Passionate, romantic, realistic yet tasteful.
Just not the underwear scenes from Origins or 'fade to black' (sorry, that just kills it. All that dialogue and hoops just for a 3 second blank screen? No).
To be fair, showing a woman's nipples (because ridiculously enough that's what is considered crossing the line nowadays) is not equivalent to showing a guy's genitalia.
It perhaps wouldn't be considered crossing the line if it wasn't always done for straight male benefit.
I'd say it's equivalent (enough) to showing a man's arse though. None of this 'men have sex through their trousers' business.

Because that is all that matters, rather than the dialogue, right. ![]()

I actually agree with this. Sex with clothes on is silly no matter how you put it. Plus, it does bother me that quite often these scenes are framed as if the man was the only one getting a kick out of it. On the other hand, you certainly are aware that in this hypothetical scenario the woman's backside would likely be as visible as the man's, right? I find a 'no genitals' rule to be equal enough, but others might disagree.
Sounds like you are a Bioware employee with this remark.

It's an M rated game, I'd like M rated scenes. Hiding sex or treating it as taboo after slicing someone's head off 5 minutes earlier breaks immersion and makes things seem juvenile and silly.
M rated =/= AO rated

Now everything is clear, right?

Actually I think partially clothed sex can be very sexy, but certainly not the ones of the mass effect 3 variety. But yea um I don't really see medieval style clothing lending itself to that sort of "convenience"

Actually, sex scenes that serve literally no purpose but to titillate seem awfully juvenile and silly.
But maybe that's just me.

Hardcore BDSM with the player character being the sub.
Every romance, every character. This needs to happen.
To take your joke comment and obtusely make a serious point off of it...
This is another problem with sex scenes. Is your character diplomatic (missionary), snarky (jokes and laughs), or aggressive (bondage!)? Too bad, because the game decides for you! it's character-breaking, while with dialog we can at least pick a general direction, and a romance scene might have a fairly typical kiss.
Has someone posted this yet?

First I've seen on it. ![]()
Couldnt they do it like some Animes are, its there but no details are drawn in on those parts. Like for Ladies the breast are there but the nipples arent drawn in and stuff. I seen some Animes do that where nudity in the show is vaguely shown because the person quickly got out of the show or some shennigians.

Well, despite having the appearance of being nude in the sex scene, Liara did not have nipples or woman parts on her model.

I think that's so weird. That including nipples on breasts somehow elevates it to a defcon 1 situation. Dudes show off their nipples all the time and no one cares. But lady nipples...suddenly it's all swooning and hand wringing.

That's because lady nipples are EVIL. When there are lady nipples, blood magic is usually involved.
hmm, I would enjoy an mix of how mass effect 2 and 3. As also Dragon age 2 love scenes. Mix of all 3 would be neat.. What I like about DA 2 was the self imply.. even after the one love scene..they will give hints that the characters through out the years are ^_- . But maybe a mix of DA:0 where you can kiss the character and ask them to bed. would be neat. now the game is pretty much be work at in final stages. so they already have love scenes set up. but maybe for future projects.. where it's has an mix of those things I said ^^ also I would find it neat..let's say after you have slept with you partner. That they have the mix of self imply just as Dragon age 2. But if you choose to sleep outside or already from the bed..if you do it many times..then your partners will ask.. if something is wrong..
just as when shep was having bad dreams during mass effect 3.. ^^

Joke answer: If you can motorboat it, nipples count as nudity.
Real Answer: The real question is why are female breasts considered a sexual draw, and male "Breasts" are not. Because the answer to your original question is clearly "Female Breasts are associated with eroticism" while male's are not.
Depending on how much stock you place in biology, anthropology and zoology, that answer lies in our bipedal locomotion. Shortening it up a little bit, it basically comes down to what parts are on display when you compare quadrupedal locomotion to bipedal. For Quadrapeds, the entire genital area is on display, but compare a person's bipedal stride, and it becomes apparent our (Female) forms leave a lot more to the imagination in that region. And so prominent breasts serve as a sexual signal to the male. I suspect that simultaneously answered a question about male obsession too.
So, truncating the answer in what I hope this is done with some dignity to the gender, the reason why Female nipples are seen as nudity, and male nipples are not, is that the female form is an object of subtle erotic beauty.

Dude, I breastfed my kid for two years. In my mind, they're food bags first and sexual second. Not to say I don't like how breasts look in an aesthetic sense, but I can also look at them completely divorced from eroticism. (And, yes, I am sexually attracted to women.). But I do take issue with how breasts have become eroticised to the point that their original function gets lost in the shuffle.
I guess that's a TMI way of saying that I wish they'd add nimples to breasts in games. They don't have to have nipples poking out of clothing ala Jack from ME3...but when nude, I think it's dumb to not have them there.

I agree that the level of censorship is silly, and as a straight male of reproductive age, I support the inclusion of detailed breasts in every part of my environment. I'm merely explaining the current thread of thought within the scientific (Specifically anthropological) community.

There's always GTA5, quite a lot of nipples in that game, even outside the strip club. Even a dong or two!
