Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Romancing Morrigan in Dragon Age: Origins is an easy thing to accomplish if you’re a bloodthirsty dark fantasy arsehole like my character is. I just slit a few peasant throats, made some unfortunate decisions, handed Morrigan a few dark relics, encouraged her vicious attitude, and boom -- she feel for my character in a spectacular way. I didn’t have designs to bed the woman when I started the game, but then again, how could I resist the Achievement for spending a cold night in her tent?

The above video is the "sex" scene involving Morrigan. It’s been teased a few times by developer Bioware. In fact, I remember it being a large part of the behind-closed-doors presentation at E3, but it isn’t as, uh, hardcore as was hinted -- nobody’s dirty place is revealed; the characters leave their underwear on.

Speaking of underwear, take note: Morrigan wears more clothing in this scene than she actually does in the game. A bra mysteriously appears. And why is that? Not sure, but we're guessing it's because she's a witch.

Quote from the Bioware guy showing us the video at E3 (we were all over 18)

"Yea this is TOO scandelous to show you, so we're skipping the scene". Like Brad said, they do it with their underwear on in a montage. I could care less, but they really hyped this up.

Also, just give Morrigan the Black Tome you find in your travels, and it'll significantly increase your alignment.

Also, here's a youtube link for you curious folks who can't load the Dtoid player.

I'm loving the game so far! I'm about to make my third treaty.

Yeah. Add a bra during sex when you don't wear one usually. That makes PERFECT sense. Also, is it me or are they doing it in the outside, in plain sight, where everybody can see them?

This is game is very unrealistic. When Brad Nicholson usually finishes with a women, he punches her off into the cosmos and roars so loud that Zeus is shaken from his throne.

In all actuality adding a bra during sex spices things up every now and then for Dark Fantasy NPCs.

Hm, I don't suppose she can change into a spider during sex? That might be a tad bit awkward. And gross.

For christ's sake... it's a game. What, you guys expecting full penetration close ups?

I'm happy to see Bioware pushing the envelope for mature content in games.... we've always had sex scenes in movies - why not games?

I'm not gonna watch as I'm trying to achieve this right now, but from the comments it sounds disappointing, here's hoping the lesbian scene is better.

That was probably one of the weakest attempts at eroticism I've seen for a while. It's like I was watching one of those crappy low-budget softcore porn movies you see at the video store - "Barely of Age: Sexy Origins" or some equally-horrible pun.

I'm still mildly interested in the game because it's Bioware, but the dialogue and stiff acting (har har) aren't very promising signs.

And then there's the horrible trailer I saw a few weeks ago... Oh dear.

Yeah, it's terrible. That scene made me cringe when I first saw it. Not that I'm against sex scenes--I think they can be very powerful when done correctly. (Titanic)

It's tasteful, but I think Mass Effect's scenes were more explicit. It seems like a backwards step when Bioware touted having these scenes, then just does nothing with them.

I'm not saying we need hardcore, internet caliber pornography, but what is the point of even having a sex scene when you're just going to censor it? I think the way Balder's Gate handled it was better.

Now don't quote me on this, but based on my experience with the game, I think the reason Morrigan sounds so cheesy up until you agree to get it on is because she has no experience with people, especially in those kind of situations.

Well, I think I like how the Mass Effect scenes were better. Less awkward, no ridiculous facial expressions, and no random clothing as a "censorship" to show supposedly more "explicit" positions.

Also, she 'aint Leliana, who is hotter because of Bipolar psychosis and stuff(or at least, that's how the trailers painted her to be).

I'm curious about the "skill acquired" notification in the lower left after you've awkwardly bedded the witch. I bet it's something like "Burns when I pee"

This is what results when a bunch of nerds (Bioware) who've had actual sex 'X' times ('X' being the amount of children they have, could be zero) are left in a room to create a sex scene and dialogue.
Seriously - it's so terribad and full of holes (like much of the bloated and stiff 'story' contained in this game) that it's embarrassing to watch.

They would have been better served bringing in even a soap writer for these scenes, rather than leaving it up to the frothing imaginations of these geeks.

Personally? I think they should've had the entire scene under bedsheets, with 'Enya-esque' music, leaving more to the imagination, and being able to refrain on the cheese and adult-nappy factors.

This game really is god-awful (and I wanted to love it). The combat's just as clunky and awkward as this bedroom romp too.
Yuck.

thanks magnolon, dtoid has a serious page load problem on the ps3 and needs to be fixed. it takes 5 minutes just for the page to quit loading all the ads and bullshit.

after watching the scene i cum to the climax that is utter shit. he would have been nailing her, not making love to her.

@ Seraphis,

And I fully disagree with you.. I'm finding this game to be absolutely fantastic and I'm having a great time with the combat (playing on the PC). So, we bring balance to the world with our opposite views. Yay.

Also, I have no idea what the number of times Bioware staff has had sex has to do with anything.. but, whatever.

Also, as for the "under the bedsheets" idea... wasn't that done in the Sims 2 & 3 already? Just saying... since it obviously takes a sexual Cassanova like yourself to come up with a sex scene.. and Maxis came up with that same sex scene, does that mean Maxis staff gets laid a lot?

They probably didn't have the underwear before, and added it later for some reason.

Leliana is better.......it seems to be more of a scene of true love, than the one night fling that Morrigan provides.

Interesting, you have to have maximum approval to screw Leliana, but you have to have 50-90 (she won't fuck you at 90+) approval for Morrigan.

She has that bra and panties because it's the default nude skin for the game. Never fear I imagine PC modders will fix that soon enough

That was perhaps the most poorly done scene I've seen in recent times, the fact that its a "sex" scene makes it 100 times more ridiculous/awkward. I was all for games maturing and including scenes like this but come on does it have to be that cheesy? Im boycotting this scene for how badly its done.
