"No Brothels to be in DA4" as per Mark Darrah Tweet.

I think seeing famine and genocide as a result of the war of mages and templars is collateral enough. The spirits and demons are often attracted to devastation as Crestwood shows. Also the quests requries you to help provide food and blankets for people affected by the mages and templars again how does that not show collateral damage of the war?

Ok so you are not making sense or you are trying to dodge the issue.

If the side quest and open world in DA4 is NOT superior to that of DAI despite already having used the system before, then it shows that they learned nothing from their mistakes.

If it is due to poor planning and communication ...then again, it shows they learned nothing from their (Montreal's) mistakes.

I want DA4 to succeed, but I also expect a lot from Bioware givin their history and experience. The same way I expect a lot from CDPR and if anything them comes up short, I as the consumer will hold them accountable. I wont become one od their apologist who is incapable of saying anything that is remotely negative about them.

Believe me, as much of a fan I am with CDPR, if 2077 is a dud, I will be the first to call them out on. If Red Dead Redemption 2 is a dud or has shortcomings, I will call them out. If DA4 has shortcomings or continues the mistakes of DAI and MEA, I will call them out as well.

Have fun complaining about everything for the next fifty-five years, I guess?

Please show me where I said that the whole place will be a war-zone? I didn't. That doesn't change the possibility that select districts can.

For example, places inhabited by poorer or poorest will likely be least protected, because that's how it usually is. And they may not just be affected by war with Qunari, at least direct one. We already know that the Qunari attract those who are desperate and disenfranchised, so it's not beyond realm of possibility that they'd fuel dissent among those unhappy in an already unstable Imperium. Actions like that, paired with magical artifacts, ALMOST had entire Southern leadership blown to smithereens.

The revolt of some kind may ignite even without their help, so we have no idea what the situation will be, in Minrathous or its various sections. And that's assuming we'd be spending much time in the city in the first place.
Nowhere there exists a rule that says that we can learn about culture during time of peace and prosperity. Most of the franchise happens during times of utter chaos and unrest - so much in fact that Inquisitor can vigorously rant about things in Thedas never staying fixed for very long. That doesn't mean of course that there shouldn't be times where we take a breather and see how the country is, but that can be done in multiple different ways. Tevinter ain't exactly the size of Monako after all.
Who said that we're going to be plopped in Minrathous at the start of the game? We reach Skyhold - our main keep - nowhere near the beginning of the game. In fact, pretty much all DA games have very long prologues.
Nobody said that acknowledging that some parts of the city are lost, or infiltrated, or whatever, will result in whole of the game - or large sections of it - be only really tense and dramatic. This is not a black-and-white issue. There's no 'peaceful state' and 'tense state' with nothing in-between. It will likely be a weave - and just like there will weave in the story, there will be a weave of how individual parts of either Tevinter or Minrathous are affected by multiple crises we already know are brewing around them.

Nothing you say contradicts what I'm saying. It would be if I said "Minrathous will be a large ball of fire at all time, from the moment we lay our eyes on it!"... but I didn't. 

Minrathous is a big city, just like Tevinter is a big country. Its sections will likely be affected differently based on multiple factors - and it would be weird if they didn't, considering the situation in Imperium. Lothering may have been destroyed after we visited it, but it wasn't just a peaceful little town - in fact practically everything about it was about the crisis surrounding it: we see refugees swarming to town, running from the Blight, lack of supplies and price gouging, people who lost loved ones as they ran and townsfolk bracing for impact, while the map was slowly turning itself black. Heck - the whole game started with Duncan talking about magical cataclysm...
I can't help but to disagree. DAI wasn't perfect by any means, but I loved the environmental storytelling hidden within the landscape and all the things I could dig out of it. Compared to DAO and DA2 when it comes to environments they're in a completely different league and I don't think it's fair to say that they're 'incompetent' when this was their first real shot in designing a huge game like this with open-world sections while tackling all the issues they've had with making Frostbite cooperate with them to make a very first RPG on it. Nevermind that the general consensus is that one can see them improving even in DLCs for the game.

Also - while I'm not a game dev I know enough to realize that an environment and building a city are two different animals. Even the fact that DAI had to be scaled down for old-gen meant that we couldn't really get a bustling city, because old consoles would just not be able to handle it. They cloud barely handle Skyhold. There was a limit of the amount of NPCs or enemies we could see on the screen at any given time, or what they could do, among other issues.
Yep, we'll have to wait and see Given that they've been given time for extensive pre-production, don't have to craft tools or assets for Frostbite from the scratch, have entire EA working on the engine now and don't have to deal with making games on ancient consoles, I'm certainly curious to see what they're going to craft.

A game does not require sex to be Mature. Nor is it expected of a rated M game since most M games don't have sex in them. 

Right, because a scene where three members of the player's inner circle marveling over someone's dong doesn't constitute sexual themes.

Again, that is factually incorrect. There are more M games that do not involve sexual themes or content than those that do. 
Also, last I checked the Witcher games involve mandatory sex or suggest sex even without player input so you are incorrect there as well. 

I need a brothel in the next DA, because... uh... er... where else am i going to find Uncle Gamble or Isabela, uh?

No, you quite explicitly listed those as "proof" that the games were becoming too "PC". Thank you, come again.

Or BDSM themes. Or Iron Bull hiring a prostitute to take Cole's virginity. Or asking Imshael to give Inky all the virgins ... and Imshael complaining that he can't find one (except Cole). Or asking Solas about sex with spirits... or dominating indomitable focus. Or shaving pubes to funny shapes for Sera. Or admiring Dorian's naked butt. Or sex on the desk with Cullen. Or in the barn with Blackwall. Or in a cave with Cass. And so on...
