If it feels unnatural, then that prbly means it was done well. Of course, we cannot compare it to anything we know, since you know, literally every species we know of is not sentient and doesn't wear clothes.

 

Hmmmmmm...... perhaps. 

[Gannayev of Dreams]

It seems a tough thing to commit to. Depicting aliens nude means they'll inevitably have to answer a lot of questions about anatomical decisions they probably haven't thought through.

 

Also seeing Liara semi-nude doesn't really count, in my book. Asari are designed to seem anatomically identical to human females. Only obvious differences being the cranial situation and the blue skin. I think their design originates with the "green women" fantasy born about by Star Trek only... except in this case blue.

 

Allusions to things like "Fornax" are probably the closest you're going to get.

Of course this thread had to show up, BSN never disappoints.

They finally accepted that their audience is built up primarily of mature people, not children.

[SKAR]

Perhaps but I don't see anything good in naked aliens, it feels unnatural to me.

As a guy I don't mind asari but I see your point.

I can just imagine Fox News reading this thread and breathing heavily at the thought of a follow up story to the previous Mass Effect 'interactive sex scandal'.

**** Fox news. Bunch of conservative jackals.

[Stakrin]

I mean, it isn't specifically a desire. I really don't care-but I am curious if the black lines and dots on the quarians are like a facial feature or where exactly those some from and how they show up since all other evolutionary things are explained.

Yes, but do any of us care what Fox News and their little subset of society cares?  Let them write their little uptight pieces.  If anything it's free advertising that'll sell more games.

 

And in answer to this thread: Good grief, no.

I have no problem with that. I already saw the majority of the ME aliens concepts on the artbook and many are naked (because, in term of design, you need to create the anatomy before putting clothes on them) and they are perfectly fine, nothing shocking here IMO.

They are different, obviously they are aliens. Once you keep that in mind, you just have to accept their physical differences, especially if one of them is your LI.

I don't even ask for full nudity, but at least few things on the cuddling moments to make them more credible. It looks stupid to totally hide the aliens' bodies, as stupid as taking a shower with your underwears Man, and I still remember garrus on citadel, in the bed with shepard with his... whole armor. Yeah, sure. WTF.

In Mass Effect 3, they actually had naked Krogan (models). During Tuchanka, when Shepard and group are in the tunnels, and after. There's naked Krogan statues

. So, they kinda already did show a naked alien.

Where are its four testicles? I knew Wrex was just bragging!

Krogans are reptiles. Maybe its internal? Probably be the same way with Turians, being Avian/Reptile also probably keep their junk hid away until needed.

Liara's just a blue human. But vg devs do know how female aliens look naked - if it's female, just slap boobs on it, mammal or no mammal. Protheans are apparently advanced enough to bang in full armor tho, if Javik's any indication.

 

Case in point:

 

 

No, I have no idea why a snake has bewbs.

[Degs29]

If it makes sense, why not?  No more clothed shower scenes, please.

 

I'm more interested in the depth of character development, including romances, than in specific sex/nude scenes.

Yeah, it must really suck to be one of those aliens in the creators' heads:

As long as the panties magically (biotically?) dissolve like Yen's then we're good.

You mean the story where they ended up looking like morons and realizing how dumb they were? Yea I don't think they would jump the gun again so quickly. After all. They didn't roast DAI for it did they?

Never underestimate fanatics and audience tailored clickbaits, right or left the methods and execution are similar.

The inaccuracy of that story notwithstanding, the topic of discussion was a game which featured a race of hot, blue alien girls who have "sex" with every gender and species. Said species apparently commonly follows the time-tested stripper-remorseless-mercenary-killer lifepath. The game featured the philosopher-prostitute trope as well. No, it wasn't as explicitly pornographic as portrayed, but it was still pushing into some new frontier, if you'll pardon the expression.

The fact that Bioware later started catering to the sexual proclivities of everyone else doesn't change the fact that they started with teenaged boys. I found it offensive to some degree on several levels.

But full pixelated frontal nudity wouldn't have as teeth-grindingly horrifying as Ashley's dialogue as the romance arc started kicking in. Whatever went wrong in ME3, at least it didn't have *that*.

The funny thing to me is Asari probably have more female fans. 

 

Or so it seems. It's true they were going for "teenage boys", but it didn't work that way. It's not exactly Captain Kirk to me.

[The Dovahk]

Only humans and/or Asari.

What's so offensive about providing harmless fantasy in a game meant to provide exactly this type of entertainment?

 

And what dialogue are you referring to?

[Lunch Box1912]

Um ?

Right.
