Here is the thing. Sony, is imposing limitations on acceptable sexual explicit content for Playstation games. This may or may not impact DA4, depending on the studio's vision of the end-game romance whirlwind.
Will Microsoft follow suit? Or, will Bio simply animate another scene for the PlayStation leaving the real goodies elsewhere?

Sony execs clearly prefer to get off to gratuitous violence and murder rather than nudity.

I'll never understand why so many people freak out about tits and sex so that they're always at risk of getting censored.

Good news for BioWare - it’ll be easier to justify cutting romances to fit the new live service model.

Honestly... I'm indifferent regarding how the love scenes are presented; a simple fade to black would be fine by me.

Eh. If porn is what people are after, there are plenty of other places to go. Most romance scenes in games are nowhere close to being porn and can be artistic and tastefully done, ME1 for example. Sexual depictions do not always equal pornography. I don't personally get off on sex in games as sex is pretty easy for me to come by, so I'm more than ok with fade to black. I'm a Solasmancer and found the removal of Lavellan's Vallaslin far more romantic than any sex scene, personally? what I'm against is censorship.

DA2's romances were perfect, even with the fade to black scenes. Anders and Fenris were hot enough.
This isn't porn. If the romance has story, depth, we can imagine the close relationship, the romance is good.
In fact, the sex scene, while can be tasteful, even can be ridiculous or uncomfortable. I would like a tasteful scene, but it's not necessary, and probably the fade to black is better for the imagination. The animated sex scene can be disappointing.

After DAO and DA2, I thought a little nudity would be a nice step forward. But the limitations of animation left me underwhelmed. Let's just say the uncanny valley can apply to breasts as much as it does to faces.
So, needless to say, I am ambivalent about whether the romances go as far as they did in DAI.

The sex scenes in BioWare games are so tame I doubt they will be effected by this type of ban (which from my understanding applies to scenes of hardcore type of porn scenes).

I don't need sex in games either, but it's the principle of the thing. Censorship of nudity is simply idiotic from any even remotely reasonable point of view. Combined with not censoring even the worst kind of violence, it goes off into full-blown insanity.
Most romance scenes in games are almost boringly tame in terms of actual sexual content as well. Even if you're idiotic enough to support censorship in the first place, if you want to censor *that* your mind is as alien to me as the mind of Cthulhu.
I've always said that when sex enters the picture, common sense and sanity fly out of the window. This is just one more piece of evidence in support of that statement.

While I quite enjoy in-game romances (they're a significant part of character, narrative, and role-play), I think I could survive the loss of the associated sex scenes.
I don't really figure I'd miss boob armor, wedgies, cameltoe, or butt-cam, either - not that I expect any of those things to vanish.

All I was trying to say is that, due to technical limitations (at least in the past), I believe their limited time and resources are better spent on things other than sex scenes.

Meh. The only Bioware sex scene that I actually liked was Sera's and it wasn't because I thought it was sexy. It was a sex scene that put more importance on humor than titillation, which fit Sera's character and actually surprised me. If sex scenes in Bioware games were more like that, being about character interaction that just banging, than I'd more bothered by their loss.
That said, I do think its kind of ridiculous that in a franchises where I could be chopping people's heads off in combat, sentence people to death and literally perform human sacrifices that nudity of all things would be censored in a game meant for adults.
It's really weird priorities is all I'm saying.
