Mass Effect sex scene is SFW

"Close your eyes and relax, Commander," utters the blue-skinned humanoid as she brushes her fingertips against Ms. Shepard's cheek. Of course, your eyes are wide open as you hunch down in your chair and angle the monitor away from your coworker's potential gaze, curious to see how this issue of 'lesbian alien sex' plays out in BioWare's Mass Effect. Don't worry, you won't be spilling any hot coffee over this tastefully "steamy" scene.

I'm confused! I've recently bought Mass Effect and played it to conclusion for the first time. There's adolescent flirting and a very brief sex scene. I'm an adult! The game's rated Mature 17+. If it were a movie, the highest rating it could muster would be PG 13. What am I doing wrong? Is there some advice on how to access the adult material? While I thought the game was basically good, I was disappointed with the adult RPG abilities. If the gaming industry wants to tap the vast baby-boomer generation they need to get out of the middle-school frame of mind. I'm a new player who believes the Mature rating is totally deceptive!!

Reminds me of KOTOR, except they went further in this, though not by much.
I expect Thompson to have a field day with this one, if he hasn't already.

Good thinking, friends. Let's keep the nerds from reproducing, and then the south will rule the world once and for all!

Captain Kirk would be proud.
The only thing missing from the scene is the camera panning to a fireplace.

Wow, that dialogue was lame. I hope that writing doesn't reflect the rest of the game.
rTwelve @ Nov 8th 2007 7:28PM
I thought it was a Star Wars prequel for a minute there
t_m @ Nov 8th 2007 11:23PM
me too. Strange, cos the KoToR games had far better writing than all the starwars prequels multiplied.

Do all game companies use the same "rubbery-spined ants-in-the-pants" kinetics for their human models? Every freakin game I see, the people talk and rock or twitch like they gotta pee or something. When I talk to a standing person, they are standing...not rocking or acting like they have a spinal disease!
Anyway, mmmmm...I have something for you...and it has blue fingers...

It's supposed to signify breathing, i suppose, to show that there is life in the characters. It's been a staple of 3D games since Super Mario 64 (being as far back as i can recall it)
It is a wierd tendency that's still there, somewhat

You are watching the greatest-selling videogame of all-time, for all the wrong reasons.

I like the Titanic throwback at the end.
embassy @ Nov 8th 2007 1:55PM
hmm..
didnt know there was a "Stereotypical Butch" option in the player customization menus.
awesome.
Chrispy @ Nov 8th 2007 2:40PM
That was so crap!
Feel sorry for the 12 year olds it's aimed at when thier parental timer kicks in...

the materials/textures on the blue character look great, even in this low res vid. That really stood out to me for some reason
why not the LS2/LS7? @ Nov 8th 2007 1:58PM
I love when 320x240 movies are called "HD". No wonder people say HD doesn't look all that great to them.
And which one is supposed to be human? I'm guessing it's the Denis Rodman look-alike, but I don't know if he really qualifies.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
the hand at the end was pretty funny

im not paying $60 for PG rated sex..i can get it better stuff with skinemax.
Obie @ Nov 8th 2007 2:18PM
Is there something wrong with me,if I wanna bang blue skinnened tentacle-haired chicks?
I do wish it were more steamy, it looked more like they were trying on each others clothes instead of bumping uglies...oh well.
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Nov 8th 2007 2:23PM
Could have started her off with a kiss instead of leaping straight for the clitoris like a bull out of the gates.
J @ Nov 8th 2007 2:20PM
what's a lesbain?
h2c @ Nov 8th 2007 2:42PM
A lesbian is a person who can engage in scissoring with another person. South Park is the controlling authority on this subject. Please see (NSFW): http://www.southparkzone.com/episodes/1106/D-Yikes.html
kinshadow @ Nov 8th 2007 2:59PM
Isn't that just a fancy word for "actor"?
mmxzero @ Nov 8th 2007 4:30PM
Scissor me timbers!
merf1350 @ Nov 9th 2007 11:28AM
You have to be careful with scissors.

How the f**k did that end in a sex scene? They are just talking about junk, she says thanks, and then it jumps right into a sex scene. It came out of no where and makes no sense at all in that short clip. How stupid.
jack shaftoe @ Nov 8th 2007 2:38PM
Hmmm, LordJezo, clearly you weren't reading between the lines there... Some serious "pasion y fuego" going on. Guess you will never score with interstellar lesbians.
Noshino @ Nov 8th 2007 2:41PM
....you have just descrived what happens 30% of the time...
1st: cheap senseless talk
2nd: ?
3rd: sex!
and yes, just like you said "it comes out of nowhere and makes no sense at all"...
HineyWipe @ Nov 8th 2007 2:46PM
Women make sense? Don't even discount them if they are alien...
LaughingTarget @ Nov 8th 2007 3:11PM
Maybe ... just maybe ... you're not seeing the whole story element. Jumping into the middle of a film kinda takes away the context of what's going on.
fadeoutagain2784 @ Nov 8th 2007 7:38PM
@ LaughingTarget
So you're suggesting that the "romance" between these two characters is substantially explained within Mass Effect's story? I always thought the game would take more interesting directions with the plot than developing an alien lesbian romance. Luckily it doesn't look like they wasted much time developing it, they just kinda threw it in there... lol. Good stuff.
reconflux @ Nov 8th 2007 2:28PM
Could they have made a more nappy headed ho?
But in all seriousness, I hope we can make hotter women than that.
mr nimblewick (SegaDF - Jogurt Ring) @ Nov 8th 2007 2:33PM
Are you speaking of bio-engineering? If so, I am right behind you.
