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

If you're referencing what I think you are, the prostitutes didn't technically pay Podrick; they just let him keep his money. I'm not even sure sex was involved. Maybe he just talked to the girls about their parents, like Cole did.

I like to believe that Tyrion staged the prostitutes giving back the money and pretended to be surprised. That Littlefinger owed Tyrion and Tyrion was paying that debt forward, so he never needed to leave the bag of coins. I don't know if that was what D&D or the screenwriters intended, but I'm going to go with it.

All of ^THIS^ and more. But I personally believe it goes beyond 'Disney'.....It all comes down to feminism. Women can't be seen as Whores anymore, lest the wenches start a protest. Which as a Woman myself, think it's ridiculous! This is nothing more than Political correctness.

If you have a comment aimed at me, then please state it in a coherent manner. And not via a vid.

That's funny, since the violence in the trailer was pretty run-of-the-mill by the standards of, say, The Walking Dead.

Pray these critics never play Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.

For all we know, the resources not going to the brothels are going to better showing the concepts of human sacrifice and slavery that exists in Tevinter. 
This whole denouncing Bioware for not having brothels thus is evidence the game won't have dark stuff in it is premature.

I'm not denouncing Bioware. They remain my most favourite game dev. But leaving out certain things which twenty first century folk might not want to see, is BAD. These games and books and comics are based on the dark side. And at the moment, that's exactly what they appear to be doing: leaving out what certain groups don't want to see. It's sad.....very sad.

I stand right on the line: I support the elimination of brothels while bemoaning the softening of Dragon Age.

That seems unlikely, given that she “fell in love with him” after he saved her from rapists. As Shae said, no girl ever saved from rape would immediately jump in the sack with her rescuer.

I mean, outside of Ride to Hell: Retribution.

Why not both? It's twice the fun!

I think all of you are reading too much into the scene. It was meant to be a humorous, light-hearted bit. Here you have two sexually experienced men (Bronn and Tyrion) who learn that their young, virginal friend is supposedly so good that the prostitutes don't accept his payment. They're awed and want to know what he did that was apparently so magical. Because the character Pod is actually a nice guy, the whole scene is supposed to be cute and the audience is supposed to root for him. Then we go back to all the other horrible* shit on the show. That's all there is to it.


* By horrible I mean the violence, rape, political backstabbing, etc etc.
