nudity is immature. your point?
Huh? My point is that the argument that they removed "anything that would get a PG-13 rating" and "anything that's not PC" seems odd in the game where they also introduced numerous topless females and Dorian's ass. That's kind of my point.
I too looked for brothels through-out the game, I am not too dissapointed that there aren't any, honestly. With Dragon Age 2 I felt like it in the story more than it would in DA:I. The Witcher 3 will come out this year. If that game wouldn't feature prostitutes I'd be really dissapointed

Brief scenes with exposed female breasts and/or a naked ass are perfectly PG-13. What's your point?
(e.g. 5th element)

No worries.
NSFW
The one in the Hinterlands was abandoned when they all joined a cult, the one in Fallow Mire is overrun by zombies, the one in Emprise du Lion was closed due to a red lyrium related STD problem, the one in the Western Approach fell down a chasm, the one in Exalted Plains is inaccessible as someone got overenthusiastic with the spikes, the whole of Val Royeaux is one just in an obscure Orleisian way that has confused you, Crestwood's was flooded, the Forbidden Oasis one has a powerful enchantment on the door that scares everyone away, Skyhold's too bloody cold, I never did get to the Hissing Wastes so make that up for yourself, and I'm sure I've missed a couple.
I think brothels are at the same place where the cities are in Inquisition 
As PC as BioWare has become I'm just glad our quizzy didn't have to sit through the Inquisitions mandatory sexual harrasment awarness seminar.
Blame Anita Sarkeesian. No, I'm dead serious. She complained about the brothels in her Trope videos and mysteriously, some features aren't in the games anymore. No more Desire Demons, no more brothels. I'm a gay male and I don't care about those features, but they were part of what added some interesting depths to the games and the lore of Thedas. I'm upset that we can't interact with them anymore. I will probably anger some people about my stance against Sarkeesian, but to me she's a plague that is infesting video gaming industry. I normally support feminism, just not her.

Ah. Feminists.Sometimes people should understand that equality in rights should come with equality in responsibities.
Shame feminists don't.
My rant really came out of nowhere... Sorry. But I still believe those changes were brought to the games because of those silly complains made by people like Anita. Fox news made a lot of noise back then because of the Mass Effect sex scenes, then they got removed or modified in ME3 and beyond. I wish gaming companies stopped crumbling under the pressure of critiques like Sarkeesian, who I believe, are just big bullies using the medias to spread their hatred. Oh yes, I do realize that I am myself an antagonist to those people. Just sharing how I feel.

When in doubt, blame Sarkeesian...because a video released in august surely has time to make an impact on a game that has been in development for four years and is due to be released in november...

Not just a video, plenty of them and articles she made online.

Articles? Since when did Sarkeesian start writing articles? And no...she does not talk about brothels or sex workers in any video before august 25 2014, again, this would have no impact whatsoever on DA:I since it would be in final stages of production by then...
It's gone the way of the PC dodo.
I know that "PC" (as in political correctness) is horribly overused, but I think this really is the case here. One reason why DA:I feels so bland and unengaging is that BW tried to skirt topics that could cause massive PC shitstorms. BW took the path of least resistance, so gone are brothels, gone are desire demons, gone is the violence from previous games, gone are (heaven forbid!) physically attractive female companions, gone is anything that could get it a higher rating than PG-13.
You know it got an "M" rating, right? And it shows naked ass and ******, both of which get you past that rating? Crude sexual references, etc.?

Her blog is filled with similar posts about gaming and etc. Been reading them since she released her first FremFreq video. Again, she refuses to cooperate with other feminists that don't agree with her, refuses to acknowledge that there are female Gamergaters, isn't open to any type of feedback, etc. People defending her are just as worse as her because they're defending someone who doesn't care about anyone but themselves.

She actually has written several articles and a lot of her videos deal with the way she feels women are treated in video games. She had one video claiming Hitman Absolution had a strip club where you were suppoused to kill strippers even though only one way you could do the mission even had you go near strippers and then for like 10 seconds. And ignoring the fact that killing them actually hurt your score because theyre innocent. But no, she had it in her video where she killed them, and then dragged their bodies around talking about how they were in the game just so males could get their jollies and women were just inaminate sex objects blah blah.
The current crop at BioWare worship people like Sarkeesian. One of their first thoughts is, "What would Saint Sarkeesian think about this?"
I was going to predict this topic would lead back into "female LIs aren't attractive enough, waaaah!" style whining.
However, I see I was already too late. Carry on.

Josie is more than just fine. Cassie isn't bad, either - tho I'm not into MILF thing.
Yeah, that's one reason why I liked DAO so much, and the story/rpg aspects of DA2. It's why I said DAI appears significantly tame compared to its predecessors. I do enjoy the game, even more than once, but it's really a shame how much the world has changed to avoid anything even remotely controversial in its everyday goings-on. At times, it appears almost lifeless in its clinical PC-scrubbed cleanliness.In fact, the *lack* of PC in BioWare games is what attracted me to them in the first place. Hell, I didn't think much of Origins when I first started playing, but the story and the opportunities to do very politically IN-correct things is what made me interested in Dragon Age. I mean, how brutal is killing Connor in the fade, for instance?
Or basically, doing what any atheist would love to do and p*ssing on the Chantry by poisoning the urn?
Taking a tumble with some trashy dwarven hag?
DA:2; the option of making some hilarious, politically IN-correct comments during times that normally beg sympathy and compassion, talking about boneless women flopping around, etc.
As much as I liked Inquisition (and particularly now that I've gone back and done a DA:2 PT) and have returned to Inquisition now, just to create a character and beat this game one last time before DLC -- it's about as bland as bat sh*t.

How is this about defending her views? I never said anything about her views, I merely pointed out that those complaints that you blame for the removal of brothels were not introduced until august of 2014, which is way too late to have had any impact on the production.
Bodahn and Sandal were caught making off-color jokes about necrophiliac albinos and BioWare was afraid including them would cause an uproar among necrophiliac albinos.

That particular video was too late. However, not her other videos about how she perceives how women are just there to be sex objects in games.

Her videos have been around way before 2014... BioWare knew the Brothel thing was coming in her vids, I'm sure. They got clever people working for them and having this loud critique telling the world how "women" are being mistreated in fiction probably influenced some of the choices. I could be wrong, I'm 70% sure I'm wrong, but my gut feeling tells me they got influenced by the outside medias or the so called "neighbours".
