Full-frontal nudity 'undecided' for Dragon Age: Origins photo

Decisions, decisions. Some of us have to worry about which bills need to be paid off first, whether or not we can afford to move house, or what we're doing next with our lives. At BioWare, they have the most crucial and life-altering decision of all -- whether or not to put boobs in Dragon Age: Origins.

The cheeky muckworms at BioWare seem to be making a habit of including sexy sauce in its videogames, and Dragon Age will be the next game feature some steamy encounters. However, the team is currently deciding how much we get to see. 

"I don't think we've worked that out yet, because we can adjust that whenever we want, right?," reveals BioWare VP Greg Zeschuk. "On Mass Effect we worked extensively to figure out, how do we want to portray it? It's not oodling pixels [laughs] -- sad but probably titillating, too. I think for us it's more just making sure it fits the context of what we're trying to create."

I'm not going to pretend that I'm above enjoying sexy shenanigans in videogames, so I'll be the first to pledge my full support to BioWare in its endeavors. Sign me up for more sexy boobtime in videogames, and I'll even go one step further than BioWare -- the less it fits the game's context, and the more inappropriate it is, the better!

Bioware should damn well know that old credo;

"No Vag, No Buy"

Afterall, it is what is the halmark of a great videogame. Look at Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude... or... uh... Singles: Flirt Up Your Life...

Boobs and Vagina Banned?

But using a chainsaw to cut people in half ok?

God bless the video game industry

Lost and Damned had full-frontal, and I don't think it was something that hurt the game's sales in any way. If it makes sense in the context of the game, do it.

Don't be cockblocking us Bioware. The God of War series gave us gore and totties, so you should do the same as well.

Put boobies in the game and I'll buy two copies to support your decision.

I demand an OPEN MARKET for PS3 games not to be limited by the industry. Like how Japan has it. For some reason here the manufacturers themselves and every other organization gets in the way of our much need of an orgy.

As long as it's justified in some way or not included for simple hype of a bad game i say bring forth the boobs.

Jim, I have a hunch the more out of context it is, the more likely Bioware will have to tone it down to get it M-rated.

That said, we do need someone other than Rockstar to try to push the boundry in videogames. I mean, GTA's DLC gave us a nude shlong... boobies are only an eventuality.

I demand an OPEN MARKET for all games not to be limited by the industry.

Fixed that for you.

Basically what Jim and aaronf said sum it up for me. But *some* context would be nice. Some. To justify it to my girlfriend.

I would be happy if they merely confirmed honest-to-goodness gay relationships on par with the straight ones in the game.

BioWare will have to change thier name to BoobWare. XD lol why does that sound more like a possible nintendo channel? lol.

Its only going to be the same 5 ppl offended who just so happen to be on Fox News. Her breasts are perkier than mine! BAN THIS SICK FILTH! We dont have sexual relations were clone ourselves by spitting into a dish! and going to amsterdam incognito while it develops.

Meanwhile the middle aged bi curious guy is too busy telling anyone who will listen when he was younger he had abs like that.

Can't we just get 47 to get rid of the women who just rant on an on when stuff like this comes out in America.

Am I the only one who doesn't really care? I'm anticipating Dragon Age anxiously but the extent of nudity in it is such a non-issue. I don't really think it's necessary to show any nudity though. The sex scene in Mass Effect was tastefully done, they should just stick with something similar.

Conan and The Witcher had gratuitous boobs. Both were not horrible at all!

Realism to then most possible degree is what I expect from DA:O. I'm so sick and tired of the "think of the children" groups and the religious freaks trying to control what we can buy. If they dont like it then they dont buy it.

I'm all for nudity, but I don't think its necessary in games. games are better without it.
