ESRB rating explains Dragon Age: Origins' sexual exploits

Even though I find the idea of simulated sex scenes in video games kind of sad in only that seems to appeal to the stereotype that we gamers are virgins or sex hounds or whatever(not including Mass Effect in this), I find your first -even- more sadder....and annoying.

What do demon breasts look like? Annnnd... how many options or how wide a variety of animals can you hit the sheets with? Narwhals? Giraffes? I mean what are we talking about here, really?

Screen source please?
The 15-year-old inside of me says 'moar'...

That didn't sound right at all.

What's the point of including a sex scene in a video game? Really, there is no valid argument other than to push the boundaries and be the "first." I can understand that people have a relationship and are attracted to each other without watching them unclothe themselves and have some fun. Yes, it is a "mature" game, but keep it off-screen.

I thought this game was 4-player co-op... nice =D

If it isn't developed by Team Ninja then it shouldn't have the Nudity/Sexual Whatever rating by ESRB. Seriously.

That's a little disappointing. I mean im not asking for some hardcore digital porn, but what's wrong with nudity? When the whole idea of the game is a realistic, visceral fantasy world why cant we have sex scenes if they fit well within the context of the game? I mean FFS The Lost and Damned got away with full frontal cock that really, was only there for the point of having cock.

"More sadder" is incorrect.

"[I]mplied in-game bestiality..."

Man-on-turtle? Niiiiice.

Sorry, I was too overwhelmed by the pathetic comment to use proper grammar. :/

You can ask the question "what's the point in putting a sex scene in this game?"
or you can ask the question "what's the point in not putting a sex scene in this game?"

Knee-jerk reaction that it's not necessary is a bad argument. There are a lot of things in books and movies and art that aren't necessary, You could probably do everything with androgynous sock-puppets but I think it's obvious to everyone here that something would be lost in the translation of Lolita to sock-puppets.

At the same time we exist in a society where these producers in hollywood and all the video-game devs and pubs are trying to sell a product so they're definitely not above utilizing the titillation factor to drive ticket/game/product sales.

So what do you do? I think the last thing to do is engage in some form of moral outcry over sexual content and situations. Despite what Kattleox might think sex is at least as natural as eating and breathing, without sex neither he nor I would be here nor would there be anyone else to read what I am saying. I think that rather than that people ought to foster consciousness regarding their consumption habits. They ought to ask the question why am I buying this? If the answer is 'because it has hawt sex' well... there you go.

Furthermore in the creation of what is supposed to be a grim and bloody world the existence and use of a whorehouse, a brothel, a prostitute, seems perfectly natural. It would in fact, in my opinion, be unnatural in such a world to not have that very venue. I mean, the origin story for the city elf contains at the very least a reference to rape and yet you intend to argue that it is out of line for there to be a brothel? It's a world of grotesque murder and brutal racism and dark imaginings but you would like the devs to just not include the bits that make you squeamish?

Happens to the best of us.

guy looks like a white mike tyson amirite?

No nudity? I sense a first week mod coming on for the PC version....

If I can make a Brotherhood of Steel orgy or hot ghoul on prostitute action in Fallout 3 I can do it in this game too!

Has everyone forgotten about the God of War games? Those games have quite a bit of nudity in them and I don't remember this much controversy for those games. Chains of Olympus on PSP also had a threesome mini game if I remember correctly.
