A brothel in Mass Effect Andromeda?

There should be a brothel, just so the foley artists get some work.

Brothers don't suit Mass Effect any worse than Dragon Age. Where you have people, you have people having sex. Where you have people having sex, you have people with needs and fetishes they're uncomfortable with sharing with every day people, in and out of relationships. When you have people with out of the ordinary needs and fetishes that need to be fulfilled, you will have people who're willing to accommodate for a fee.

When you have people who want sex for the least amount of hassle possible, you will have those willing to accommodate for a fee. When you have people with varying levels of anxiety wanting to have sex, you will have someone to accommodate them and their feelings for a fee. You don't need to be a frontier space to have a brothel.

Swingers clubs and swingers parties are everywhere. Prostitution, legal and illegal, is everywhere. Any setting revolving around people and social interactions, be it Middle Earth,modern Earth, or space, it'd fit unless it's one of those settings where everyone has evolved beyond baser needs and urges.

Just because CDPR did something doesn't mean Bioware has to do it...and earlier in this thread, Serza actually expressed some thoughts on why they shouldn't do it and I'm inclined to agree.

I'm only in favour of brothels if you can kill the pimps. It's good in Fallout 3 when you kill that piece of shit Moriarty.

Hell yeah!

if there is a brothel there will be no options for straight male, that's for sure
anyway i'm curious about that kind of place is a new galaxy

if there is a brothel, it will only have trangender individuals,
maybe even transgender krogan, elcor, kett, synthetics,

Of course there will be straight options for men in our hypothetical unprecedented imaginary brothel.

But they'll all have strong jawlines. And short hair. And will act, like, not cute and stuff. THE HORROR!

I don't consider Shaira and friends a brothel, for the reasons already discussed to death in this thread. She was more a high class courtesan (with sex being one of many options if one pays for her time) and the other girls seemed to play a role similar to that of geisha in Japan - they were there for entertainment, conversation, and so on. It's never confirmed they provide sex. Regardless, we the player did not have the option to hire them like we did in the first two DA games - selection menu included. Considering we're talking content options for players of various orientations, I get the impression that is the type of brothel the OP (and others) are hoping for. For that, specifically, there is no precedent in ME.

Personally, I find the brothel thing a juvenile form of titillation that takes up resources I'd prefer be used elsewhere. That said, if there is one, whatever. I'll got there if a mission demands it but it's not something I'll ever use.

Me personally I think if they're going to do a brothel on the game, they should take notes from Witcher 3 to improve mini sex scenes and introduce nudity on a brothel for once.

Westworld? That doesn't look like anything to me.

Why are some people so fixated on brothels every time an RPG comes out?

MAI IMERSION they say.

Which never made sense to me. How many gamers' lives actually include sex with prostitutes? Do they live in areas where there are just brothels on every street corner, right across from the grocery store? Can you really not be satisfied or immersed if there are no visible brothels in a game? It's like some randy twelve-year-old's vision of what the "real world" is like.

Maybe BioWare should include a realistic brothel, where it's clear that the employees are poor and exploited, and there either because they have no other choice or were victims of sex trafficking. I'm sure the "brothel crowd" would love how it added to their immersion.
