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

My thing is why did they make brothels and sex such a big deal? They're optional for players and no one forces them to have sex in the game. And me personally I think Witcher brothels are better than DA because they're not afraid of showing nudity of people having sex.

Nudity isn’t really relevant since some characters get nude in Inquisition anyway, including our PC. Honestly though, the best parts of brothels in previous DA games were actually the jokes and banter that went on there, like that naughty elf Jethan, or dealing with Idunna. There’s no actual nudity in either game so it’s not much different from, say, a seedy tavern. 

Hmm, Im not sure that is how it goes. A forum is supposed to be a place to share, discuss, and debate ideas. It is meant to be a 2,3, or 4 way discussion about a given topic....not purely an echo chamber of thought.

I am a Carolina Panthers fan. If I goto a Panther forum, I can still be a fan and yet bash the coaching staff in the forum for making such terrible decisions in the previous game and how it could cost us a playoff spot. I can also discuss how the front office needs to invest more into the offensive line through free agency and the draft in order to protect Cam Newton. While I am showing concern, criticism, and anger at the Panthers players, coaches, and front office staff... that does not make me ant less of a fan.


Tell me, when a crowd boos their home team due to poor play, does that suddenly mean they arent fans or true fans?

Does that mean that those who criticized the Star Wars PT are not really Star Wars fans?




Is simply accepting the status quo the only way to show coherent thought?

Point is, anyone who gave a nug’s arsehole about sex in brothels in Dragon Age was barely getting that as it was. We primarily went to brothels in Origins and DA2 to fulfill other non-sex related quests. Inquisition is the only DA game that actually has bare anything, so clearly Bio isn’t afraid of that. 

And it took all this time to put nudity in one game but they didn't show sex scenes with nudity. So.....

We don't even know whether DA4 will feature a city, much less whether we'll see all of it (Minrathous is the biggest city on Thedas with a million people living there. Even if they do some scaling trickery, it's unlikely we're going to see all of it), so why are we even discussing 'reasons for it omission'? We don't even know why or what is going to be omitted or implemented yet, and the reasons for it could be story-related. We are, after all, gearing towards travelling to an already unstable Imperium with Qunari invasion looming on the horizon and who knows what else.

The whole theme of Inquisition was how much we sacrifice when we're trying to rouse people around an organization that is the last hope of restoring order. This isn't just about easily understandable personal sacrifices on the battlefield, but sacrifice of identity, principles, lives of people we lead and - eventually or potentially - loss of direction, and ultimately - Inquisitor laying everything he/she has to try and save the world, actually saving it, only the world to start forgetting their contributions in meager years.
... ah yes, the 'scary glowing hand' that has enabled Inquisitor attain their illustrious position in the first place. Never mind that it's about so much more than this. The whole DLC was about way more than this.
Yes, no terrifying events at all. It's not like they survived devastating explosion that has wiped all of the Conclave, coincidentally obtained unknown power that is eating them from inside, only to have it symbolically erase everything else they ever were before, yanked at the position of power and hoisted a ginormous responsibility on their back, where they didn't even know where and how to start fixing that mess, because Thedas has never experienced stuff like this before.

And all that while knowing, 100%, that if they fail at any step of the way, Corypheus may not yet become god, but will destroy the world nonetheless, while people are expecting for them to sacrifice everything they are, even though they didn't, ultimately, were even given any opportunity to choose, go through any ritual or swear an oath. And after that, when they managed to actually save the world, the world just keeps demanding more of them, while at the same time robbing them of their power, their hand, their position and put in the situation that they have to scramble to save the world... again.

If DA4 doesn't have a substantial city (Inquisition,) it will be official that Bioware is a joke.

If DA4 doesn't have a substantial city (Inquisition,) it will be official that Bioware is a joke.

If DA4 doesn't have a substantial city (Inquisition,) it will be official that Bioware is a joke.

How can it have that meaning if Denerim had one too?
