We act all prudish whenever characters show off a little skin, but we don't blink when we reduce enemies to a gory paste. I'd say bring on the fanservice and nudity lol.

Malcolm @themalcolmtent.bsky.socialThis week marks three years at BioWare for me, which may not sound like much but it's the first time I've stuck at a studio that long in my (slightly tumultuous) 16 years making video games and it means a lot that it's happened at a studio I've wanted to be a part of since day 1. I was a BW fan long before I joined, back to the KOTOR/NWN/Jade Empire days. When I got hired, part of me was worried I'd be losing something in not getting the magic of being a player and experiencing the games fresh. But seeing the incredible fan response to DAVe has been revelatory I think we've made something really, really special - something that I know I would love as a fan - and I cannot wait for y'all to get your goblin paws on it. (also Taash and Emmrich are the best, 100% objective fact) Brian J. Audette @bjaudette.bsky.socialIn my experience, what you lose in being surprised by major game events, you gain in knowing exactly who you want to romance from the start and how. Malcolm @themalcolmtent.bsky.socialThere is that Plus I know exactly who to yell at about that one bullshit puzzle (it's me) MelSo, when we get there, we know it was you. Malcolm @themalcolmtent.bsky.socialJust be careful of the lava, okay?

They should have toggles for that too. Oh yeah, how dare people who are uncomfortable with something not want to see it in a product they paid for.

I always find these stories funny, because it's not like this wasn't the case in the previous game. Dorian's butt, Sera, Cassandra breasts and a FULL FRONTAL of the inquisitor. Even though I'd much rather have seen my love interest's body- which we didn't at all! Got more of Blackwall's skin stripping gear off him in the menu.

It can be clunky to look them up, they aren't actually there, sometimes they don't even make sense and you are like 'wait how'd they do that', and since we're going to be Veilguard pioneers its likely that no one will even have them yet. At least for a bit.

I just feel like there wouldn't have been that huge dump of talent if EA planned on keeping the studio going. During conversations where we compare Bioware to Ubisoft, people mention they have thrice as many studios to pump their yearly games out. Yet EA Bioware closed one (I think) and downsized the remaining. That's hardly a company ramping up to be a company that releases regularly. Even if DAV gets GOTY, there is still some invisible number EA will hope for that Bioware won't meet.

I don't know what the numbers were, but that is a good sign. Even though I've moaned and groaned about stuff for this game, it appears it will attract a lot of new players and hopefully a lot of previous players of the past games. Of course it could do poorly. No idea what numbers EA will expect, but I would guess the game would have to do extremely poorly for EA to tell Bioware no more games.

The EA nose-job suits will probably base their "invisible number" on the sunk costs prior to the Feb 2021 single player announcement, and forget their dimwitted insistence on multiplayer and microtransactions.

As an european i am way more ok with nudity even full nudity like gore stuff like beheading an enemy. Yeah that is still crazy for me that a simple penis so much worse than a gore splatter fest. [/quote] I’m an American and I too find it absurd that nudity is considered more offensive than gore.

Yeah the inclusion of nudity or gore in a rated m game isn't really about prudishness for me either but it's just something for mature audiences to handle sort of thing,neither is more shocking then the other, neither belongs in a rated T game.

I mean, I'm certainly not going to act all conservative and cry about nudity - that being said, "implied nudity" is often more than enough for me. I'm neither appalled nor appreciative of the dangly or not-so-dangly bits. So the news for me is more "oh okay, cool". I am happy for those that really want it, and hope that for those who don't like it there might be some kind of blur toggle or something? I mean its an game for adults so why not have some nude scenes? But to be fair its just female Breasts and some arses like in DAI so no big deal. As an european i am way more ok with nudity even full nudity rather than gore stuff like beheading a enemy. Yeah that is still crazy for me that a simple penis so much worse than a gore splatter fest. As a Finn we are always nude and live in our Saunas...

I’d argue against your notion of us “knowing the truth” of being a false Herald. I like how the game argues that you still can be, it’s just the Maker working indirectly. In an abstract way that is true. I even had my devout Inquisitor defy Cory at the end with the words "I'm the Maker's chosen". Or something to that effect. What I was referring to was the fact that originally people thought the woman behind us in the Fade as we exited at the beginning was Andraste; hence us being the Herald of her return, as in the prophesy of Drakon. Now whether that spirit was Justinia herself or simply a spirit adopting her persona, it definitely wasn't Andraste. As for being her Herald, well I think that idea probably went by the wayside when we lost our arm and the anchor, considering that was linked to the whole Herald thing too, plus would they have dared to challenge our right to continue the Inquisition if we were really working on behalf of her and the Maker? Meanwhile, Flemeth suggested we were a herald of a different sort, the Herald of a new age. There was a lot more to that statement than was apparent at the time, considering who she was and what she knew. Unless Solas is the Maker I doubt we were working for the latter but naturally if that is what someone wants to believe, fair enough.
