I wish people in this thread could be respectful with their posts instead of either veiled (or outright) insults or looking for ways to be offended.
Indeed. Can we avoid insults, generalizations and "weaponizing" therapy? I mean geez. Having an opinion on a videogame doesn't mean you need counseling, and needing counseling doesn't mean anything other than you're a human being trying to work out your life.
I'm not even sure what the focus of this thread is anymore.
Anyway, I think it's possible to convey intimacy and vulnerability without nudity. I also think that that's an effective way to do it. I feel bad for the people who will not enjoy seeing that. I hope it doesn't effect your overall experience too much.
Personally, I am more glad that the focus on sexuality in this game is (contrary to some posts here lmao) less "boobs everywhere" and more "women as people." It seems more respectful overall, therefore I'm not as anxious about the nudity. If ME3, for example, had announced this, I would have rolled my eyes so hard they'd fall out my head.
