I don’t generally care what they do with the sex scenes. Fade to black is fine, and it’s also fine if they’re more explicit. If they do do nude/racier scenes, I think they should be more evenly distributed with no one romance receiving favoritism. In Andromeda there were valid complaints with Cora’s sex scene regarding that. DAI felt more equitable, since most of the romances got some amount of it. I think only Solas and Josephine didn’t? I also prefer when they give you the option to not have the explicit scene, like in Dorian’s romance where you can choose to have sex and then have the commitment talk, or take it slower and commit first.

I agree. The imbalance of content in Andromeda was very painfully noticeable. Even though i had to wait 3 months, I was lucky enough to have Jaal as my favorite and he got (in my opinion) the best done romance in the series. However, it's clear that Cora got the best animations. Add to that to me it is quite strange how they went all out for her on that level-but, in my opinion, they wrote her so very poorly that I can't imagine what the motivation was for her being the chosen one in that area. I have nothing to say about the third member of the trinity of the romances that got the bulk of the content but Peebee:

I’d rather just have fade to black scenes because the resources used for sex scenes are often why they can’t do as many romances as they otherwise would. They also had to race lock some for animation issues. I don’t care about the scenes, so my first choice would be for those resources to be used to add more romances, or even expand on those characters story arcs. I also don’t care if they exist if they can make them happen while not cutting romances or adding race locks that don’t make sense, though.

Yeah I love sexy times but if I get a fade to black or just a kiss or whatever better be because everyone else have got the same as me (gay men or mlm whatever). I want equality and fair content for all, I dont want another Cora situation or invisible strap-on Peebee for lesbians or no content at all like gay men got before bi Jaal.
Repeatable scenes need to still be in DA4.

Yes please. I'd love to have repeatable kisses again-and this time have them actually animate the kiss on screen for the love of all that's holy. Not that shit camera angle thing they usually do.

I went with tasteful, now how that is implemented, whether it's fade-to-black or something stronger, is fine by me, sex & nudity are part of these interactions & seeing it, or not bothers me none. Did like the post-coital conversations though, them being done in the nude simply made more sense.
Anyhoo, that's just my opinion

To me it’s not really fundamentally different, sex is a major component of the overwhelming majority of relationships. Having that element represented is important to the narrative experience. Personally i don’t think it’s anymore dispensable than kissing and flirting etc.

The things they say, the way they move, etc. can really make a character feel more nuanced and vibrant instead of just fading to black.

Personally i don’t think it’s anymore dispensable than kissing and flirting etc. I don’t find that comparable, as fighting is a core component of the game and skipping a boss fight would actually be strange. Even if we accept this as a valid comparison, the only thing about the fight that’s actually relevant is knowing that Hawke wins - whether we know what spells or attacks he used, or whether or not the real champion was actually Hawke’s mabari, is totally irrelevant.

The gameplay is arguably the main grounding mechanic of the entire game. A bioware dev once suggested (and was subsequently driven out of the industry by death threats and harassment for doing so) that they’d like to be able to skip combat. I think that would be fine as a choice, to be honest, but I think way more people probably care that they have the option to do it than that they have sex cut scenes in game. It’s just so universally ubiquitous to what a video game is to have combat, where as fade to black or skip ahead narratives for sex scenes are pretty standard in all sorts of visual media and I doubt most would see it as weird. I do understand some people really enjoy these scenes and there’s nothing wrong with that, but I don’t think they’re comparably important to the overall game quality in an objective sense, or just to the majority of players.

The things they say, the way they move, etc. can really make a character feel more nuanced and vibrant instead of just fading to black. Yeah, you know who else it characterizes that you have no control over? Your PC. I agree with all of your points about how sex is important, what it means for the flavor of a relationship, and what it says about a person. All of those are things I don't want forced on my PC by the devs.

I wasn’t really referring to gameplay, more the notion of being denied the narrative satisfaction of seeing & being told it was resolved, which would be incredibly unsatisfying imo. In most 18 certificate media it’s not standard to shy away from some representation of sex.

some representation of sex Sure, and DAI has "some representation of sex," it just doesn't show the actual sex act with bodies grinding away. The only scenes I've seen are the ones for Cullen and Dorian. With Cullen, you start heavy kissing and end up on a desk; the scene finishes with Cullen naked in a post-sex convo before the Inquisitor departs. There is no doubt whatsoever that sex happened, you just don't get to see it. With Dorian, you start kissing, later have a conversation while completely naked, and it ends with lying back down for more sex. There is no doubt whatsoever that sex happened, and is happening again, you just don't get to see it.

Lol, there's no way in hell that any sex scene anywhere carries the same narrative weight as a scene where you defeat a major antagonist.
Even in the context of a purely romantic story, comparing a sex scene to the final, climactic declaration of love would be absurd. The question driving the tension of a romance story is "will these characters end up together?", not "will they bang at around the halfway point?".

I'm taking my time going through this thread, really enjoying a lot of the posts here. Also, apparently I need to take a look at DOS2. More opportunities to discuss marriage or be able to get married in-game would be nice, too. Not every LI is going to be into that - hell, Isabela outright says that after she was freed from Luis, "I swore I'd never marry again" but then again she also swore off feelings and look how that turned out so WHO KNOWS - but it'd be nice to be able to bring it up in conversation if you're so inclined. Besides Sera and Cullen having actual wedding scenes, I know you can discuss it with Bull, Cassandra, etc. Yes please. Still bugs me how we couldn't even discuss it with Josephine, whose romance was a perfect fir for it. I admit that I've not yet finished Josie's romance, but I suspect the only Inky she would consider officially marrying would be a non-mage male human noble. I also suspect that may have been one of the reasons why BioWare chose not to include that option for her. My impression is that she is ultra-dedicated to her family and doing everything she can to restore their status. As the eldest of her generation, I would expect her to be willing to accept her obligation to produce heirs that would uplift the family. Whether we like it or not, that is the reality of the nobility in Thedas. Mind you, that doesn't mean she can't have a side piece, as many nobles do. In fact, since I'm romancing her with a female, I have my own little fantasy headcanon about what I'd like their future to be, but it doesn't ignore what I view as being the more likely character expression for her.

Frankly it's gross that writers insist on projecting this breeder nonsense onto fantasy worlds. There's literally no reason why a made-up place needs our antiquated laws and mores regarding succession and inheritance.

Another romantic trope I hope DA4 subverts? The Betty and Veronica. The "nice" girl being more sweet, slow and romantic, and the "bad" girl is more kinky and promiscuous. This doesn't just relate to women, as in Origins Alistair was the Betty and Zevran the Veronica. Just once I'd like to see quieter and seemingly more moral Love Interest be into free love, and the crude and bawdy one turn out to be a virgin. I would have absolutely loved it if, midway through DA2 we found out that Isabela was having a long dry spell while Aveline had been very, very busy. But I love it when tropes are subverted. Instead, they stuck with the stereotypes.

Regarding my statement "whether we like it or not", I'll take this as a definitive NOT. I don't disagree with you, but Thedas is what it is - unless they start retconning some pretty fundamental stuff about the world design.

The sex scenes should be specific and tailored to the romance in question. Instead of having an universal sex scenes that were essentially the same but with different models, the scene should reflect the character and theme of the romance in question, with some being tasteful, exotic, comedic or outright non-existent. I think Inquisition did that relatively well.

Plus she'd have plans to make it a lot nicer than the small ceremony we see. Also, you're wrong about her only wanting to marry a non-mage male human. Again, her writer said she would marry the Inquisitor regardless of race and sex because she loves them. Her romance quest is literally calling off an arranged marriage so you can be together. Plus you are the Inquisitor, so even if not a non-mage human male noble it's not like the status of her family will go down and if anything improve(we even hear a banter about this from a couple nobles in Val Royeaux). Frankly it's gross that writers insist on projecting this breeder nonsense onto fantasy worlds. There's literally no reason why a made-up place needs our antiquated laws and mores regarding succession and inheritance. Thankfully Sylvia, Josephine's writer, didn't do this at least.
