I remember the "OMG alien sex WTF" media stories when ME came out, despite the fact that the nudity in it would be acceptable in a PG-13 movie, or maybe even skirt by on regular TV. Now, 10 years later, I can fully attest to full on R-rated Azure(Yeah, I like Asari) in Andromeda, and from what I can tell,not a peep. Then again, there was full nudity in Dragon Age Inquistion, so.

Now let's hope we can still get a proper explicit Vetra sex scene in a patch or DLC.

I don't remember there being any flak directed at the last two Witcher games either.
Times have changed. Part of it may just be that a lot of gamers are now middle aged people themselves. A lot of the past controversies over R-rated content in video games was by moral crusading old fogies who associate games as kids toys, whereas just like movies, you now have different games directed at different age groups.

Its also silly that violence is never talked about despite the fact that we've killed billions of polygons throughout our years. When it comes to nudity however everybody freaks out.

You'd think with mainstream games (like Witcher 3) and TV shows (Game of Thrones) normalizing and desensitizing it's viewers from nudity would have had a wider reaching effect on people's views on nudity in video games.

Why am I participating in this discussion?

Well, 10 years ago the left - or rather the liberal media - was not yet in charge of the public discord, so the outrage train was in another station. Today sexism (among other things), rather then sex, is a apparently a problem in games... and the outrage is about as valid as it was back then.
Besides: ME1's scene was a hell of a lot more tasteful then what we got in MEA... if anything, the Cora scene is funny in how it tries to be "mature content" without actually showing much. With the level of laziness the game was made with, I was half expecting for them to swap out Cora's model for Vetra's.

Mass effect in context of the time was actually ground breaking,a story/character driven rpg,that was designed to span 3 games and allowed the player to make key choices that would affect the stories out come......it was/is....extremely ambitious even by today's standards.
Having relationships with the companions you meet also took the story/character aspect of the gaming genre to a whole new level of immersion,Bioware introduced bisexual,gay and even inter species relationships.....which again,is ground breaking,so overall what old school Mass Effect did was actually news worthy in my opinion.

Also, I don't see why video games are different than movies in the mind of some. Why is something that is okay in a movie not okay in a video game that's rated M? Movies are passive experiences while games are interactive. Dumb parents (who can't be bothered to learn that rated M is the same as movies being rated R) think if their kid is not only seeing acts of perversion but committing them via games that are clearly meant for children then the game is trying to brainwash the child to become a sicko or worse force mom and pop to have now explain sex to them.

I think some of the most controversial things in their games were the moral dilemmas and complex characters rather than the bare-assed shenanigans. I wish they would focus more on the former again, rather than wasting so much time on the latter (the watering down of really tough decisions from DAO to DAI is an example of this).
But aside from that, it is weird that media/community ever got so up-in-arms about pixelated "shoot-the-baddies" and "let's bang, OK?" in the games that have much darker issues (choose to save these folks over these folks, decide to extinguish a whole race or let them live with the chance that they may come back and do you harm, destroy a whole planet to stop the big bad guys from coming here, etc). That's what really makes the games "adult", imo. The other stuff just seems like an afterthought to me.
