Bioware Toying With Full Frontal Nudity In Dragon Age

PSXE is magical. Every time we do an editorial about a particular subject, a piece of news pops up elsewhere that reflects the topic. ...it's starting to give us bad dreams.

Earlier this week, we told you sex in video games was here to stay. Now, Bioware has been the target of some sexual themed controversy in recent years (you may recall the whole female alien sex fiasco from Mass Effect), and perhaps due to that fallout, they're still toying with the idea of full frontal nudity in Dragon Age: Origins. According to VideoGamer, Bioware did confirm that any sexual situations will be seen in cut-scene format only; there will be no interactive sexual gameplay segments. If you didn't already know, you'll be able to sleep with other characters in order to improve your relationships with them, but they're not sure if nudity will be included. The sex was in Mass Effect, but there was no nakedness; in regards to Origins, Bioware vice president Greg Zeschuk had this to say:

"I don't think we've worked that out yet, because we can adjust that whenever we want, right? On Mass Effect we worked extensively to figure out, how do we want to portray it? It's not oodling pixels [laughs] – sad but probably titillating, too. I think for us it's more just making sure it fits the context of what we're trying to create."

We're pretty sure he meant to say "ogling" pixels, but whatever. "Oodling" is a good word, too. Anyway, Dragon Age: Origins is slated to release for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 23, and if Bioware does opt for the controversial stuff, you can bet the self-righteous, preachy articles I referenced in my editorial will make their presences felt. Oh goody. Can't wait. 'rolling eyes'

Yea some how,one might argue that games are getting realistic so things like sex will need to accompany them to make them solid but.....................

For real its not really necessary, if we want to see sex,there lot of porn flicks out there, and their getting updated everyday.Heck it takes a day to record a porn flick not years like games & movies......so maybe its not really necessary

Is death in games necessary? Are pools of blood necessary? Are gruesome action scenes necessary?

Why is sex such a hot button issue that you object to it, but few ever object to blood, gore and death in games?

Good god, are you more afraid of sex than death?

I do believe that most of the people here are afraid of sex... why would you be opposing it if you are not afraid of it and want games to become more realistic when it comes to gameplay. Such example is... Grand Theft Auto... Sims... God of War... all have contained sex in someway shape or form. GTA series... forever... Sims... Sims 1 for computer... God of War... YES! They have sex, people love sex. It does sell. Kids will want the game if it has guns, death, sex, drug, or violence. DONE.

The point is.....is it really necessary? Sex fits games like GTA not all games....i mean who wants to see Cloud,Tidus,Dante,Snake in some sex scene.I mean who wants to see Sackboy going up and down LMAO!
You realize it fits the GTA protagonists more than those i mentioned, though okay i could picture Balthier scoring his next blowjob.

Round of applause for Highlander.

Sex is a form of creation. Killing or Murder is a form of destruction.

I could never understand why parents feel the need to hide something from their kids that they inevitably will be engaging in when they get older. Yet some feel that violence, such as killing, is perfectly fine for kids to watch or engage in virtually. United States has always had an issue with accepting sex as a part of human life and need to learn it is far from dirty... unless you're into coprophagia.

I would much rather my kids visit porn shops than weapon outlets.

Nynja i understand but look at this;

Parents know getting a gun isn't that easy and it takes a whole lotta balls to kill a real person,cause its considered a crime and you know your going inside for a long time or for life.As parents know their kids are aware of this, why will they have to worry too much when kids are playing violent games?

Engaging in sex on the other hand could be that easy,first of all its not a crime, getiing your lil' man into a girl's lil' woman is that easy,whole lotta prostitutes around.Now AIDS effed everything up prompting adults to be worried about youngsters engaging in unprotected sex.Reason why violence has been around for a long time opposed to sex in games.

Hope you catch my drift?

Sex and sexualtly has a stronger influence humans. There's no proof that cartoon violence makes kids and young people more interested in violence. But it is a fact that over saturation in sex cause kids to engage in it sooner. Especially young men. Watching a violent movie at a young age didn't make me want to hurt anyone. However seeing a naked female made me want to explore the subject further. Saturating children with sex at a young age steals part of their innocents. More so then seeing cartoon violence. I feel the same way about violence that goes over the line.

Sex is scared and private. Death isn't.

@www
I've got some news for you, kids will have sex whether they see it in virtual form or not. The teenage pregnancy rate didn't skyrocket as a result of a million teenagers getting their kicks playing Hot Coffee on their Xbox.

As long as people treat sex as a taboo subject that is forbidden and must remain hidden, behind the scenes and private, never to be discussed, kids will grope around for it precisely because adults try so damned hard to hide it. Kids always want to try what is forbidden. It truly is a case of the forbidden fruit tasting sweeter.

If you're worried that having a sex scene in an M rated game, or nudity in an M rated game will somehow encourage kids to have sex, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. First of all, what are kids doing with the game? That's a parenting issue. Secondly, at least if they are getting their kicks with a game, they're not getting their kicks with their girl or boy of choice.

@deadman

Yeah, I have seen parents buying M rated games for pre-teens as well. I'm sure you'll agree when I say it's the parent's fault. It's not the developer, not the retailer and not the legislator, but the parent who has the responsibility of monitoring what their child does.

@jawknee
Don't get into a comparison of Europe and the US, on virtually every statistic worth mentioning relating to crime or quality of life the US will lose. Abortion in the US is more strictly limited than in many European countries (though countries like Ireland have very low rates or abortion), and has always been a hot topic with religious groups and political parties in the US. It's no wonder that the official rate is lower than in Europe. However, I wonder how many unofficial, unreported abortions there are, how many teen pregnancies, how many kids up for adoption. Seriously, this is not an argument you can win on the facts or numbers.

@ Jawknee you did mention Europe in response to me. I believe that Europe on a whole is very open about about sex and why not we're having it. If its in viedogames if its on T.V. if its in movies SO what. As an adult why does it bother you? I am very open about sex if you are not comfortable with it then you shouldnt be having it, sex can be much more than what religion teaches, Its not all about the procreation others happen to like it.

Okay Highlander,
check this out...

I have this 12yr old psn friend who is itching to play GTAIV because his mom won't let him, but you'll always find him playing COD4 or COD:WAW anytime i log on.
Both these games have realistic violence whiles GTAIV has sex and drugs in addition.Now the inclusion of these acts, limits a game like GTA reaching the widest audience it possibly could, though it still has a large fan base no doubt.

GTAIV is one of my favorite games this gen and all those acts don't bother me at all. But i feel for my little under-age brothers who can't get a feel of the game simply because its got sex scenes and an M or i8 rating is attached to it.

Its like everybody is playing MLB or some other sports game both young and old. Then devs all of a sudden decide to put a scene where Alex Rodriguez takes photos with some nude cheerleaders post-match, thus the game has to be rated 18 and now those under-age kids can't play? Yea i know this wouldn't be put in a sports game but am saying if those acts weren't in, the game is going to be available for all. Yea yea i know its nice to have games for the matured and games for the kids but really...

Do you blame those parents who bought GTAIV for their kids, i bet they received so much pressure from them. I mean these kids see how GTA is highly rated and their told they can't get they hands on cause its got sex scenes. I feel for them man.

Seriously if we're matured and getting laid regularly we wouldn't bother if sex wasn't part of games cause we're doing the real thing.
Games from the start was for kids but now time's changed and we have older people getting in and its not nice seeing these lil' kids missing out on great titles because of sex?

I repeat, am not saying sex shouldn't be part of video games but am saying, is it really necessary?

Deadman. I said I didnt "bring it up". And I'm very comfortable with the subject of sex just in the context of marriage and with my wife. Look, my only point is the game could still be great without the sex. Its fine if you want to be open about it, I just think it's unnecessary. Haha that's all.

Sex scenes are ONLY appropriate if it has a noteworthy impact on the story. So that means that you should ONLY see them in Mature/Adult-only games.

In Bioware's case, they never slack on story and character development so I'm not worried about Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2, or The Old Republic.

Just keep the sex scenes outta the Teen-rated games, like my JRPGs. :)

I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it is used in a mature manner, I mean I don't think it should turn into a "sex sells" attitude where your playing hard core porn instead of a hardcore game. That being said Godfather 2 has plenty of naked girls in only underwear,(No stickers like GTA4) It adds just a little bit more to the realism aspect.

Why is sex in games so difficult for people that have no trouble with the violence, blood, gore and death? If we can have ever more faithful renditions of the violence and death, what's wrong with a few breasts and what not?

Why is titillation in games considered any more sad or perverted than looking through a copy of Maxim, or watching TMZ or any of the other Entertainment news shows that follow Hollywood's babes? For that matter why is it considered as bad or worse than flipping through a copy of Hustler or grazing the Internet's limitless buffet of free hardcore imagery?

Look, few if any are going to say that simply inserting (no pun intended) a gratuitous sex scene, or full frontal nudity into a game cut-scene is a great idea. But if it fits with the story, why not?

You know what though, if some enterprising game maker decided to make their game and then include a cheat code or option in the game to have the characters run around nude in all their bouncy, floppy glory. What would it matter as long as it's a) disclosed, and b) appropriately rated?

I'm pretty sure that in my younger and less married days I would have had no objections to an artistically nude version of Soul Calibur...I can't believe that there are any young male gamers today who can truthfully say they'd object. Nor would I be surprised if more than a few female gamers admitted that they had no objections to nude swordsmen (or swords-women for that matter).

They're just bodies, 100% of the world's population has one.

Violence in games or movies is usually in the context of a struggle. It's either showed as necessary in a fight for good or shown as an example of what not to do. Sex however is never shown in a healthy context between two healthy married adults. Open relationships and whoring around are glorified and the real concequences are rarely shown. Disease, unwanted pregnancies etc. There's no reason for full frontal nudity in a videogame or a movie. Just like there's no reason for gratuitis violence either. The raunchy sex scene and Blue penis in the watchmen film didn't add any value to the movie. It hurt the experience in my opinion. Just how the over the top violence did the same. There's plenty of ways to tell a story or get a point across with out showing over the top violence or sex. Changling anyone? Eastwood did a fantastic job portraying how brutalized those children were without going over the top. Like I said. It's unnecessary.

The Watchmen is a perfect example of an effective use of nudity when referencing Dr. Manhattan. Dr. Manhattan was so detached from "society" that his "detachment"was portrayed by his nudity. He didn't see the need for clothes anymore after that accident.

"He walked on suns, and witnessed things so minute that it you could hardly tell they existed." U seriously thought it hurt the experience? Really, Jawknee? Really?

@ Highlander the issue of sex and gaming is a hot topic because of the "older" generations that still think games are for kids, and adults can find no jot in them.

How come the sex in Ultima 7 Serpent Isle didn't cause such a ruckus? I was completely freaked out at that.

Even some movies have to have sex in them, or they just wouldn't be any good without it.

It worked great for Mickey Rourke's movie "9&1/2 Weeks" & I don't think it could've been 1/10th the movie it was without all that raw sex.

"Showgirls" with Elizabeth Berkley & Gina Gershon was another one, although it was more sex & a bit lesser on a great plot.

Showgirls is a great flick, uhh but I'm a fan of B-Movies.

But you are absolutly right, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart are a few more examples of film that woulnt be as good as they are without the inclusion fo sex.

jmo_INDY_Repub1: I don't think you understand our Comments policy.

And it seems others don't really, either. That whole debate up there needs to be in the forums, not in the Comments section. Comments are for commenting specifically on the article in question. If you want to go further, simply go to the forums and ask people to follow you if it's so important to you.

There's no reason video games need to be the one art form on the planet that cater exclusively to 12 year olds. Cartoons and board games don't even relegate themselves to that status anymore. Plus, the average age of ps3 owners is somewhere in the mid-twenties.

Life lesson for all.

Showing respect to others costs nothing and yet can earn something priceless, respect offered in return.

I don't suppose you'd like to go into the forums and explain that a little more would you? What does Canada represent? Just curious. This isn't the place to derail the comments, but in the forums you can spit out your justifications to your hearts content...

Canada really? Haven't you heard of North Korea, Afghanistan, and Iran (to name a few)? There are a lot bigger problems in the world than our friendly neighbors to the North.

Actually never mind, don't bother with the forums... I went back to the article you mentioned earlier and pieced it all together of what went on. I'm not going to waste my time getting into it with you. I've got better things to do.

Welcome back by the way.

Rated R movies feature sex and nudity, so why shouldn't games that are rated M? I'm guessing it's because they are "games" and that word gets associated with kids. If parents are doing there jobs and monitoring what there children do, then there shouldn't be an issue.

"and if Bioware does opt for the controversial stuff, you can bet the self-righteous, preachy articles I referenced in my editorial will make their presences felt."

As opposed to the editorials on the other end of the spectrum??

Talk about bad dreams.

Yeah, believe it or not, editorials have more to do with opinion than preaching.
