The character creator for the upcoming Dragon Age: Origins is now available via Steam, but unlike the full game's page, which boasts a large red "18" age certificate, the character creator's page is showing a square, blue "R18" certificate.
"For the uninformed, R18 is the official age rating for pornographic media in the United Kingdom, primarily used for "explicit works of consenting sex or strong fetish material involving adults". Works given an R18 certificate can only be distributed in licensed sex shops, so giving a game like this an R18 age certificate is pretty much the same as slapping a "porno" label on its front cover."

Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.
I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy
Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.
Crows90,
I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.
got it on pre-ordered baby!!!
Well I wouldn't be surprised if there were nudity.
It's the kind of game that has nudity...
The horror, The horror
That being said, Im really not one for sex in games if it doesn't add anything.
Like I care about polygonal "parts"
Im really hoping this game doesn't suck. Where are the reviews?
get a real life.
Maybe cuz there's like a sex scene in there... supposedly.... but from what I remember in Mass Effect, there's probably no boobies. heh heh.
