BioWare undecided on Dragon Age full frontal nudity

BioWare is yet to decide if upcoming fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins will contain full-frontal nudity during its high-profile sex scenes.

Go ahead , they show tits in movies on TV all the time. Nobody will die out of this.

[playinitcool]

no complaints here :)

[Arnon]

With your skill in character models and pixel count... go for it :x

Oddly, the first Diablo had nudity in the butcher chambers. Impelled bodies with full nudity. Also I remember one of the pre-oblivion games having full nudity in the game. My sister made a character and when she removed her characters cloths the game didn't cover those parts with loin cloths etc.

I think this game was called Daggerfall Here is a link to the information.

To think though in that demo she started out with nothing and was running around doing quest in the nude while no one seemed to notice in the game.

It's been done before on RPG's and no one lifted an eyebrow, With the internet of today it might be a little more controversial.

Just looking at the listed games below says it's profitable.

They may want to avoid it to avoid the media....but it would be silly to.

''during its high-profile sex scenes''
Sex usually involves some nudity. So why is there even a question here?

[SH3MRON]

...dimemberment, and have a game like GTA but as soon as they show a titty its all wrong. If its for mature audiences they should be able to know what nudity is.

america is so sexually immature. bioware just need to do it, dont worry about it. if theres any outcry, it will just be from fox news again or something and the olny peopel that will give a hsit will be poeple who wernt gonna buy the game anyways, and then after a few weeks it'll all blow over anyways.

god of war shows full frontal nudity in their games. why can't bioware? because of this stupid stigma against nudity in media? extreme violence is fine, but god forbid you show a nipple. its just nature, why is it such a big deal?

look, i don't care one way or the other if they do it. its just tits, virtual tits at that, so its not a big deal. but if they want to do it even just a little bit, they shouldn't be afraid of any "repercussions" and just go through with it. its their game, and its just a game, maybe they can help break this stigma that nudity isn't okay in video games and help mature the industry a bit.

[Reibooi]

While god of war did have nudity it was not Full Frontal it was only Topless. Never to my memory did they show the lower half in god of war. If they did then maybe I am starting to get forgetful. This issue implies that Bioware wants Full Frontal nudity meaning both TOP and BOTTOM. While there having been many exposed breasts in gaming I don't recall much more then that in a title that wasn't rated AO.

At the end of the day they should do it. If it fits and it's not just to show tits and ass they do and defend it if retarded people like those at fox have a problem with it.

[nycredude]

I think if the M is on the game, we are in an age where we should be able to show anything!

[criticalkare]

Fox news will jump bioware again about this.... OMG full pornographic scene in video games!!

[Natsu X FairyTail]

bill o reily 2.

[Ellessdee]

thats fox news.

but the only people that will give a sheit will be people who weren't gonna buy the game anyways.

any real gamer will either not give a fuuck, or in some cases be even more intrigued (cause we all know how them nerdy gamer guys flock to cyber boobies lmao) just like last time. and the whole thing will blow over after a few weeks anyways once people realize its not nearly as big a deal as its made out to be. some little 20 second clip at the end of the game, wow.

I remember the uproar that happened after Mass effect came out.
All the twisted storys about sex and full frontal nudity when in fact there was none and all the people who were saying this didn't even play the game.
Seems that even with an M rating, a lot of people still think the game is aimed at kids.

I find it funny that with a game that is full of violence and blood, these people will be worrying that their kids are being corrupted by breasts.

Their going to go out and say it anyway...you might as well go out and give them what they want. maybe this time the people they might actual pay the game and know what the hell their talking about after the embarrassment the last lot went through.

[Jockamo]

That's what you all are gonna get!

[Christopher]

If so, yes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary and shouldn't be done just for the sake of seeing pixelated breasts just because you could.

Mass Effect wasn't bad because it showed the emotion between the two characters that you built throughout most of the game and it didn't show any real nudity, just bare skin that they'd show on primetime shows normally. Going further than that should really only be done with good reason or if it fits into the concept of the gameplay (Conan and God of War are good examples of this, where it's kind of expected to see the overly virile characters interact with women who are nude and bearing their bods entirely).

[rucky]

OH why not! It worked for Mass Effect and got some free publicity too.

[KingKionic]

There was no full nudity.

[SKUD]

Tits or GTFO.

[--joshua--]

you filthy whore

[Tony P]

In all honesty, I don't need every game I play to be a tasteful take on touchy subjects. I like my dark fantasy dark and uncensored. And it's not like sexual themes and taste are mutually exclusive, so says Hollywood.

In the long run, it won't matter. I'm not playing the game for boobs. And if they choose not to include nudity, I'll have it for PC where nudity is usually the first thing modded. And at least then I can choose to turn it on or off.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

Push it over the top for me Bioware!

Actually, i am probably going to get this no matter what. Never played a Bioware game and am looking forward to it.

[Rockox]

Mass Effect is the first and only Bioware game I've played. Based on the strength of that game, Dragon Age is a day one purchase for me.

[DiffusionE]

The only thing stopping them from clogging the game full of adult material is the rating restriction......just kidding....

But seriously, i don't see what being able to perform in-game sex has anything to do with gameplay. If you wanna see "it" then there are other "popular" ways to do so that doesn't involve buying a game for $60, know what i mean? :P The Witcher(unrated edition) had something quite similar and it did nothing to enhance the gameplay, except maybe provide a few seconds of relief for some hormone-driven teens.

[FLOWCity]

I saw a penis on GTA LAD so..What could be worst than that

[BYE]

This question will probably be answered in "The Ballad of Gay Tony"...

[micro_invader]

lol, bubbles Ceekay :D

[OmarJA]

Disgusting...

[NMC2007]

cover the tits in blood, problem solved!
cover something america doesn't like in something they love will soften the blow, like a strawberry covered in chocolate.

[Christopher]

Disagree just for the annoying generalization.

[Blue22]

I don't see the point. Im getting this day one either way. I don't need to see va-jay-jay in a fricking game. If they put it in I'll watch it though. I never skip a cutscene.

[LiquifiedArt]

Turning something like videogames into pornography is a no, no. And i'd stop playing the games.

[Fade_Walker]

Dragon Age Origins is still going to be rated Mature whether or not it’s included, so for me I don’t see a problem with adding full nudity.

[Lucreto]

I am hoping we can get the option to view or not to view.

I was going to get the game but I was put off with the excessive amouts of blood. If I could have an option to turn the blood on and off I would get the game.

[OhReginald]

..if there is any floppy penis's..then count me in.

[xxBATTLECATxx]

DOOOOO IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

[SpecimenB]

In this day and age, the rating doesn't matter. I'm willing to bet more underage kids end up playing M rated games than those ages that can. I find the addition of full frontal nudity to do nothing for the story or game play. It shows a desperate attempt for publicity because they know sex scenes and nudity in games make the news. Remember how much news publicity they got over a quick flash of butt in Mass Effect. I've always considered Bioware above cheap tricks like this. I really have to wonder what they're thinking.

[ravinash]

The thing you have to remember about Bioware is they create their games around a mature adult story.
Any adult theme story line will include relationships in one form or another. (thats where good story lines come from the interaction between people).
Now any adult person will at some point be involved in sexual relationships, its a natural part of life.
So how much of a story can you create if you try and block such a large part of who we are.
Putting in breasts for breasts sake will not make the story, but Bioware have had a history of making a good story to go with the game.
So in this case, I think we're in safe hands.

and remember, the average gamer today is between the age of 25 and 35.
these people have the right to buy entertainment that is suitable for there age without worrying about the people out there who like to label Games are for kids.

[no_more_trolling]

give them the option. like gears 2 u can turn off the violence a notch
