I don't consider Sha'ira's place a brothel. She is the only person there who ever offers sex, and even then it isn't the first thing she offers. The establishment itself does not fit the definition of a brothel. And no, having it would make the world less believable because it goes against the previous games thus breaks immersion(using your own argument from other threads) and because it doesn't fit the scenario. The most you'll almost certainly get is the nightclub on the Nexus probably having exotic dancers like we see in Chora's Den, Afterlife, and Purgatory. Sha'ira and her acolytes were loosely based on hetairai, in line with much of the lore on the Asari, which was inspired from ancient Greece. HetairaAs such, I think it's fair to describe the Consort's business as a brothel. It was just a high class one that offered other services in addition to sex. I do agree though that there probably won't be anything similar in Andromeda. Where is it said that the Consort's place is based on the Hetaira? I disagree with that prospect since again only Sha-ira herself is ever mentioned to offer sex, either by herself, her acolytes, her customers, or random people talking about it. Nobody says the acolytes also offer that.

Good news. You don't have to go there. If they're there, then the odds are quests will require that you go there. Probably quite a few, and usually a main quest. But that's not a problem. They're tiresome and lacking imagination, not offensive.

The good news for you is that with the Nexus arriving earlier, we can safely say that the Asari will have already stablished a network of strippers. That was probably their first priority actually.

Do I get the space aids from going to said place? Ryder goes to a space brothel and gets space aids, black screen shows up alerting us of a Critical Mission Failure.

There wasn't any in DA: I, so I doubt we will see any in MA: A. Almost all today's games ''must be'' more ''friendly'', even when they have +18 on theirs covers, but killing and blood is always okay...

There wasn't any in DA: I, so I doubt we will see any in MA: A. Almost all today's games ''must be'' more ''friendly'', even when they have +18 on theirs covers, but killing and blood is always okay... I'm not sure if I'm buying that. There wasn't a brothel in ME2 either, yet people pine for that game. It didn't make sense for there to be a brothel in Skyhold -- it was the site of religious military camp. Sure, there could have been one in Val Royeaux, but that place was a pretty poorly executed "city" to begin with. DA: I also had the most nudity in any of the current Bioware series, so that doesn't jive with the "games must be clean" thing. I have to wait to see more about the world they've created in MEA before I can say anything about this. Maybe there is a brothel, in which case all of the naysayers were premature and wrong. Maybe there isn't, but it just doesn't make sense given the setting. We've barely seen anything about the setting yet, so it's hard to say. Maybe there isn't and they just didn't want to include one with the narrative. Maybe there isn't and they didn't include it because they felt pressure to make the game "more friendly". Those are all possible scenarios, so why are people automatically assuming the latter? Well, in the OP's case, he's already admitted it's because he wants to set up a "SJWs ruined this game" narrative already, despite having no evidence either way.

They need to make brothels like DAO/DA2.
I'll never forget the nugs in DAO or going alone as a mage in DA2 and getting literal traps that killed me.

Nobody says the acolytes also offer that. One of the devs posted it back on the old forums. The one prior to the BSN. I can't recall which dev now, but maybe Drew K? He used to post often back then, sort of like Gaider after DA:O.

An interesting thing about Sha'iras, I just observed, is that there is a Salarian acolyte attending to a female human. I can't wait until LotSB dlc, see Ilium in all its splendor, Azure, and that asari hooker praying for forgiveness for all the sins she's committed- ^We all know what kind of resort this is! Damn shame human women are relegated to being waitresses.

This ain't the Witcher 3. Although, if there were alien brothels in Andromeda, they need to be all Jabba-the hut type aliens, because awesome. "Ahh oo bossa, wah mi cho. Ho ho ho ho." Translates to: 50 credits for 50 minutes of a life time, baby.

The game with the more number of romances and flings Bioware has ever promised us. We ask for a brothel. In more serious note: I don't care if there are brothels or not. If they are, as long as male and female prostitutes are treated with respect by the plot and the players (i.e. Prostitutes not been used as a cannon fodder for serial killers, not being abused by bad people, etc. just for the sake of "edgy"), I will be OK with that. I simply won't go there.

They're far too different from us. What you see in the Witcher (and now that I've actually played it and compared it to my own knowledge of our folklore) is the western Slavic approach. Canadians and North Americans are just far too different by culture.
It'd be a God damn mess.

View the Initiative briefing video #2.... about the purpose and services of the Vortex. Nothing specific was mentioned but highly suggestive. I see it as a R&R place... dancing, bars, strippers, maybe a casino and personal services upstairs and music of course. I wonder if there is a jukebox for us to play our favourites. I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of the Tempest crew. Afternoon soap operas have more sex and nudity than the Pink Rose in DA2.

I've never seen the depiction of sex "trigger" any videogamers (I'm making a distinction from Fox News-type non-gamer "concerned parents" ). Sometimes how sex is depicted is criticized, but that's a quality thing. However, I've invariably seen the lack of videogame sex trigger accusations of MY BONER IS BEING OPPRESSED. Take Lulzarious, for example (please!).
You're not entitled to brothels and polygon fucking, guys.

Yes, there will be a brothel, but during the approval process with the SJW'ers, it was mandated they be ugly...you know, 'cause "realism."

You know, this might be more reasonable as a request in the DA section. The next DA game is going to be set in Tevinter and if there isn't a brothel I'd be rather surprised.
Out of all of the things to cry "SJW" about, this is probably one of the more puzzling reasons to do so. It's not like they had it in the series and took it out. I can sorta understand the complaint of a few with DA:I lacking the lore reason/time/resources to do a brothel. They barely got VR in and that's more like a few blocks. The series had them in the past.
ME has had the Consort and that's it. There is no precedent for a brothel in the series. Strip clubs sure and you're free to imagine what might have gone in the VIP room.
I swear some folks go out of their way to look for reasons to be upset.
<puts on mod hat>
As a strict reminder, anyone that harasses any BW dev that is a member of this site will be subject to a very swift punishment by the mods. This does include a possible ban. Upon the game's release, we will remind posters not to start taking out their frustrations on BW developers that are on this site.
Thank you.

Ladies we men are one of the nastiest sons of bitches than you ever imagine, if a man goes to a brothel he'll perform and want to relive his pornographic fantasies and turn it into reality. Just a heads up.
