the decline of Bioware as a company producing fun games began with the fact that they stopped using "erotic models" as templates for their characters.
A certain studio did attempt to make what is essentially a Mass Effect parody with porn.

-checks to see if they actually finished it-

It's still in early access? Holy shit.
Because why make several games when you can rake in millions with the promise of a game, right?

These morons drowned time and money on cutscenes and recording dialogues for an unfinished script instead of making a proper turn-based system. And why add shoot 'em up to all this? Turn-based space combat would be much more enjoyable.

not to mention seemingly all me2 companions have some sort of family issues

Some old white dude one day wrote “write what you know.” You can see with bioware that they took this advice to heart.

:philosoraptor:
I've always thought the companion writing was for an intended audience of neurotic teenagers, as such I guess it's not too bad. But other parts of the game's writing seem more intelligent, such as the many funny examples of interspecies relationships. Maybe it's just different writers, with vastly different perspectives.

Porn in video games seems almost as cringy as romancing. Still pictures like in The Witcher 1 could work though, and of course good-looking female NPCs. In any case it's imperative that it's not produced by furries or LGBT-zealots, their preferences are by definition incompatible with the rest of humanity.

I think turn based sex scenes could be the next great thing for Bioware or Tyranicon, upstaging even Baldur's Gate 3.

Instead of the normal "Final Fantasy-esque" command line, you could have a menu like:

Fuck
Suck
Parry
Flee

Imagine the possibilities for a new age of degenerate Biowarean gameplay.

If you go through old ME artbooks, they keep saying they had a priority to design female characters as sexy as they could --probably going for that Barbarella effect.

This was absent for future entries' artbooks and the problematic artbooks weren't included in the goodies giveaway they did a while back.
You wonder whether it was a particular designer's ideal of a heavily sexualised woman too. Ashley, Miranda and Isabela are all variations of a certain type - dark hair, angular features, full lips, busty and a full waist with a big ass that's close to getting a little unruly.

Can't say it wasn't a good look to go for either. IRL used to work with a girl like that years ago. Ran into her in the cycle park one morning in her full spandex getup and the memory of how she looked still brings a smile to my face.

They were aiming at the older, fantasy novel-reading crowd. They are way more accepting of such kind of designs as self inserting for women was easier in those situations. On the other hand, EA wanted DA2 and ME2 to be as normie friendly as possible, so it might as well be waifubaiting.

So, Novel Chads likes pretty girls more than normie crowd? I don't buy that. "No pretty girls allowed" was a phase in Wester Civilization and it's going to end soon. Then Bioware remain with head in potty and that is a good thing.

I was talking about the female crowd who reads romance novels, they were a different breed and a big part of the old Bioware crowd. They weren't bothered by such things.

I don't need to imagine because I already know what it's going to be like.

"I wanna fuck you, Shepard."
- Yes, let us make sweet love. (Paragon)
- Sure, let's fuck. (Middle ground wet blanket)
- When I'm done with you you won't be able to walk for a day. (Renegade)
- Fuck me? (Get some more text before you return to the first three options)

I was actually thinking seriously about a sex minigame with attribute checks and dice rolls.

But tbh it was just weird.

I've seen this view before. I don't deny that there is something to it. But I wouldn't overestimate the importance of literature for video game plots. The scriptwriters are only slightly more well-read than the average gamer, who is functionally illiterate.

Dicso Elysicum, where our protagonist Harry has to solve the world's most gruesome case of autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong while dealing with his wide array of fetishes to get the job done.

Also Kim is now a goth chick with the fattest of tits.

So, marxism but with goth titties? I could try.

Marxism and goth titties go together like peanut butter and jelly bro. Maybe 1/20 goth girls arent Marxist, 1/50 of those are good looking, and 1/100 of those haven't posted their pussy to reddit.

I thought about it purely in terms of gaming. I can't imagine having a goth girl, even a pretty one, who believes in Marx. No one can survive the mixture of dark sexuality, twisted ideology and daddy issues.

there's a lot of commie goths, but most marxist girls are hippies.
