DISCLAIMER: I am not complaining about lack of Miranda nudity, or nudity in general. Just curious.

One thing I notice a lot in pro- and anti-nudity threads is Yvonne Strahovski -- or rather, this sentiment that she was one of the reasons nudity was removed. From what I gather, this is because she is an actress of high standards, such that she doesn't do nude roles (and consequentally, had it stipulated in her contract with Bioware/EA that the character of Miranda, modeled after her, would never be portrayed in full nudity).

Is it true that Yvonne is simply a classy woman who refuses to get naked, even for tasteful roles? (evidence would be appreciated, be it an interview or biography or whatever). Just wondering, since everyone is always mentioning her in those threads.

Its a video game. Plus id like to see a link where her contract dictated what BioWare could or couldnt do, i find that to be pretty unlikely.

She's so classy that she is shown in her underwear just about every week on "Chuck" .

More likely, Bioware didn't want to go through being accused of making a "lesbian rape simulator" by drooltards in the media again.

She is really beautiful and talented. It seems all the down to earth and good actors and actresses come from Down Under.

I really like her performance, but I don't think she's concerned about showing off her body.

I wasn't saying that I believed it, just that a lot of people say it.

And you'd be pretty damned surprised at what she could stipulate as conditions. As quoted from Wikipedia:

[quote]The tastefulness of nude scenes is hotly debated in the United States. Adding nudity to films may increase both audience interest and publicity. However, some movie critics view gratuitous nudity (that which is not necessary for the plot) negatively. Various actors refuse to appear on film in the nude citing either their personal morals or the risk to their reputation and/or career.[/quote[

People have interesting..codes.

For example, I know Alba said she would be hard pressed to do nudity because of her family/parents and such (this was before she had a kid). But she obviously appeared very skimpily quite a bit.

Suggestive =/= nude.

And hell, I could just point at Miranda losing the top half of her jumpsuit. Save you the trouble.

Ya I don't know, all the love scenes were pretty weak compared to Dragon Age. I thought maybe they just layed up to avoid some heat. Miranda's was still the most fleshy and in my opinion, da best!

I'm not even sure that's her body though, comparing shots Miranda has a (Ugh hate to say it) nicer ass

ME1 didn't have any real nudity (yeah, a naked female ass and legs and Shepard's naked behind, woo-hoo...), so why would ME2 have any nudity?

If Miranda took of her bra in ME2, you wouldn't see it up frontal, that's not BioWare style. You would most likely only see her back while doing so.

Mass Effect never had nudity and never will, it has nothing to do with Yvonne.

I wasn't saying that I thought that was the case.

I was saying that a lot of people make this claim, and I wanted to know if it stemmed from real circumstances.

Its a rumour that is all. Nobody here except Bioware employees are privy to contract details, and since they haven't issued a statement Im calling BS.

best title ever. but no, i don't think yvonne would have put this in any kind of contract. i also don't believe 1 actors contract would determine the standard for the entire game's approach to romance and nudity. i've seen 4 different romance scenes and they are all significantly milder than ME1. they are shorter in time and reveal less.



i believe this is a design choice made to keep ME tasteful. i think the devs clearly wanted to give players lots of love interest options, but in an appropriate format of an RPG. if they continued to push the sex and nudity it would potentially compromise the quality and reputation of the franchise as more of a Leisure suit larry game than a serious scifi RPG.

You fail to grasp the concept.

Exposure of the genitalia is nudity. Not doing so is not nudity.

Some actresses and actors refuse to play nude roles.

Therefore, I am curious to know if Yvonne is an actress who refuses to play (or voice) nude (naked, unclothed) characters.

I honestly think it was just a conscious decision on Bioware's part. They want to their game to be seen for what it is, a great interactive experience, and not a game all about sex scenes.
