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

What's you point?

It's not my song  

Brothels eh? If they're in the next game, fine. If they're not in the next game, fine.

Heh, "no Brothels in DA4" thread is 20 pages long, "what I want in DA4" thread is 4 pages long. I think it's clear what the people want

Unlike this thread, the "What I want in DA4" hasn't had a lot of arguing or going offtopic thus is shorter. 

Sometimes it feels as if it can't be "mature" without "gritty" 

Uh... I don't recall people calling Lord Of The Rings 'sanitized' or 'disneyified' even without sexual content in it - and that's the book the partial inspiration for which was Tolkien's own experience of horrors of WWI...

I have to admit, that I've had the biggest laugh at the expense of people who had very arbitrary definition of 'dark and mature' after TW3 was released.

Before that, the frequent argument for Inquisitions 'disneyification' I heard was the bright color palette and beautiful lighting effects, instead of the muddied color of DAO (something that stemmed more from technical limitations and was a bit at odds with its design) or many other games which at that points had fashionably muted color palette or ran everything through yellowish filter, which some confused as a sign that the given game is supposedly mature.

And then Witcher 3 comes out.

Witcher 3: *amazing, bright, saturated colors*

mature-games-need-to-have-muted-colors! crowd: *circkets*

I think it has more to do with context. I think Bioware is okay with showing sex or nudity if it has to do with romantic relationships. However if it is purely lust, then they want to avoid that.

The question is, why is it a problem for Bioware now but wasnt in DAO and DA2? I do not remember anyone complaining about brothels then. Weird....

True, but it is something about Brothels that clearly triggers Bioware in a way they werent with DAO and DA2. The question is, why?

Yup, you can have a "mature" story without going all "dark and gritty"

Game of Thrones and the Witcher have become a cancer.

It... doesn't? They just don't have brothels in a game that doesn't have an extensive city?

Must this really be more complicated than this?

I mean, you'd be on to something if some of the devs went on a tirade against brothels or the game was chaste as a lamb (or the devs were chaste as a lamb, which they aren't).... but it clearly isn't? Not with banters about sex, even ones about hiring prostitutes or picking wenches for a night, content full of sex scenes and nudity for a PC and even scenes where a Chevalier betrays Gaspard for a single hot and steamy night with Celene, which ends up with him being tied naked to her bed and so on.

Seriously, you need to get over being so triggered by Bioware and creating conspiracy theories about them. It'd be good for your health.

Heh, I am old enough to remember LotR abundantly criticized for being sterile and sanitized vs newer fantasy of Martin's vintage and the exact same arguments about the grittiness of war, and how Elrond's wife was raped and murdered by Orcs somewhere in Appendices were raised "in defense" of its true-dark heart.
