This lame shit is what happens when you don't have the balls to include explicit and gratuitous sexual content.

Imagine being afraid of losing half your audience and being ass-blasted off consoles. :smug:
Ironically The Witcher beat them with this - while Bioware's romances were still in the teehee handholding stuff, in twitcher you could go full plap plap get pregnant mode

It’s what makes BioWare’s prudishness all the more perplexing. It wouldn’t even be BioWare boldly going into uncharted territory, bigger games than anything BioWare has ever done already went out there and showed it’s safe to have sex scenes and show nudity. I could get BioWare keeping things PG-13 if they were making T rated games, but they’re not, they make M rated games, so they may as well use that M rating.

They seem to show some skin now, like in Andromeda or even Inquisition, but the overall tone seems more romantic, prudish and serious than in BG3. Like as if they deliberately want to stay away from overt coomerism, or pornographic style. It's like Bioware is trying to keep things softcore. Hmm, I wonder why. I wouldn't have anything to do with so many of their devs being troubled, sex-averse females, would it?

Keeping it softcore is way better than the extreme cringe BG3 did.

You can tell from the trailer that they spent a lot of money on this game.
