Hopefully brothels is one of the things DA:I does end up copying from TW2. For science.
Well said old chap, well said.
This is a brothel.
I feel brothels in games only distort and distract. There was an article recently about this in Spain. Due to the crisis, there are two distinct groups of prostitutes: nationals and foreign. The foreign ones are overwhelmingly trafficked and kept in debt so they cannot quit. The nationals are former secretaries, clerks, retail workers, etc. that got laid off with the financial crisis and had no other way out.
So knowing this, I go to The Blooming Rose and speak with Jethann, and I just think it's insulting. For shame, to know what brothels are like and to see them depicted like this.
It depends on the place+culture, some brothel's in olden times were akin to luxurious mansions, it depends on the level of funding.
Jose: "Inquisitor we still need to decide on the inquisition's budget"
Inquisitor: "Put it all in the brothel"
Jose: "What?"
Inquisitor: "You heard me, if you want me to stop the breach i need to fill a few of my own first...For practice sake"

And all the brothels in nevada are at least 2 star hotels
We don't need Brothels what we need is this :
Being able to put scars/change your face proportions middle-game( i am more for putting scars/tattoos on your characters face ) is definitely awesome, I cant count how many times i changed the face of my Hawke in DA:2
No we need a mix of a fighting pit+drinking+gambling+prostitutes, the magical mirror is hidden in the brothel, just ask the madame to surprise you

I forgot about Nevada, for shame.
Nevada is great, for about a week at a time.... spent a month in vegas for work, it gets boring real quick.

Burn it, burn it with fire!
You want to burn the brothel with all those poor women in there? Tsk tsk tsk, and you say Cd Projekt are the misogynists.

Tell me about it, fucks up your internal clock too, i miss the black windows though

I always had to put my sunglasses on before i walked outside, as the bright light would just roast my retinas
This place would let my inquisitor completely forget his disappointment about his potential romance options. Need this so much!
Ditto, would make playing a race conscious Elf/Qunari/Dwarf fun, the breach may end up encompassing all of Thedas though....Oh well we all need to make sacrifices and booty>saving the world.

Yeah after a year or so if you go into the sun with your eyes uncovered the result is this

Still worth it though.
My hardcore Dwarven Templar will use them if there are Dwarven ladies at their establishment. And if taking lines of the lyrium to the dome is allowed, preferably off the assets of said Dwarven ladies. Inquisitors got to unwind too you know.
You drink lyrium...
So far my first experiences of DA brothels are as follows:
Origins: right, hmm i'll pick...this one! Hold on...wait a minute...CRAP ITS A MAN!!!!
DA2: right, hmmm...be more careful this time...i'll go for...this one! Oh...wait a minute....CRAP ITS A MAN!!!!
So if there IS a brothel in Inquisition (which i hope, because it adds realism to what is essentially a medieval fantasy world), i will hope i will not be tricked again.
As for names, could just call one in orlais...'The Game'

Random prostitute: "Hey handsome.."
Inquisitor: "Why Hello ther.....Oh **** its a trap! Evasive maneuvers!"
I don't mind having one. I never used the one in DA2.
For a name, I don't know. How about "The Lay Me Down Hotel".
Eh. Anita's latest video had me thinking about it a lot actually.
Are sex workers really something we need to have in every game?

I want to burn any representation of a male-power fantasy, that cheapens women. Oh, and lets not forget the exclusion of LBGT in that brothel.
bla bla bla women.
All i read was bla bla bla women.
And i bet you wouldn't have complained if it was Triss walking into a male brothel(and yes they have those too! Well not in the Witcher because Geralt is straight and wouldn't be caught dead in one,shocking i know), feminists and double standards such a match made in heaven.

Actually,I would have.I can't stand the reverse harem either..

Oh well if that's the case then my sincerest apologies for the double standards remark, burn away...I'll get the fire extinguisher.
OK here's a question:
Would you guys rather visit an already established brothel or build you own?
And should you build your own what themes and customization's would you add?
