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

When you need to tell someone to "stop being so triggered" it's clear that you're the one who is actually triggered.  Lol re-read your own posts and follow your own advice.  Take a deep breath.  And ask yourself why you're so fundamentally opposed to something that is obvious to the rest of us?  The answer is simple.  You find the new direction suits your own tastes, so you try to ignore the opposing view point because you don't want the status quo to change even if they are in the right.  Just like Dotard's supporters.

I have serious question for you.  Have you even played DAO?  And if you have, did you play it before or after Inquisition or DA2? 

But Witcher still provided better sex scenes than Andromeda and Inquisition.

Little late to clarify, but this thread is NOT about explicit nudity. The lack or presence there of does NOT determine maturity or the writers' decision (s) to avoid adult themes.

I never wanted Bioware to give a porno. I would actually consider that a total waste of resources.

That’s debatable. I always found The Witcher’s sex scenes to be kind of corny. DAO and Andromeda’s sex scenes were a little as well, but not quite as bad.

Using the phrase, "I dont want to play a porno" is just a strawman used to divert away from the core topic. Similar to how people approach rape references and what not.

People cant effectively support their arguments so they use strawmans.

I've only played MEA once and I romanced Jaal and I will admit that I was honestly shocked with that particular scene, haha. But it happens right when it fades to black so I didn't really see it as full on porn or anything. I actually thought the whole romance scene with Jaal to be rather intense and passionate and it's probably one of my favorite Bioware's love sequences because of it and not because "oh my God boobies and sex with aliens!". Jaal's romance in general is really good. I have seen Cora's love scene and I was also impressed and shocked at the same time. Didn't think Bioware would ever do something like that. But then again ME's love scenes were always a bit more explicit than DA and it usually involves more than just a fade to black screen. I've actually seen it on this video, which is hilarious because this guy is basically narrating a sex scene and it's awkward as hell but he does have a point. The animations are freaking on point. The way the characters kiss and touch each other, the facial expressions, etc. Again, that last shot before it fades to black might be a bit too much for some, but I don't think it's long enough to be considered as porn and because these scenes are the culmination of endless flirting and pursuing a character. It's a moment where they finally connect physically and emotionally, so if these scenes are done right, I don't have a problem with them being a bit more explicit. I just don't want them to cut content because they spent a ton of resources on something like this. The Cora scene was clearly handmade and honestly, it looks expensive.

So you're saying stop being so triggered? Then these words are for you...

No, I am admitting that many of us are triggered about the lack of brothels cause it signals a primer that DA4 will be the same sanitized and light hearted game as DAI and not like DAO which are the series roots.

*does a shot*

And Peebee and Cora.

I mean, if they spent nearly the resources on Peebee's climax scene as they did with Addison's "my face is tired" scene...well, DLC might still have been an option...

This is a reasonable debate to have. It's cognate to a couple of long-running ME series debates -- plot holes and space magic.

But brothels are a dopey proxy for the substantive issue. Whatever darkness was or wasn't in the earlier games, it didn't come from their brothels.
