Bioware’s flagship title Dragon Age: Origins is attracting attention not only for the usual epic fantasy RPG hacking and slashing, but also for its story, which happens to be packed full of all kinds of romantic options, including actual sex scenes…
Although most reviews have concentrated on the game’s well crafted story and gameplay, at least one reviewer saw fit to take especial note of the erotic elements the game is packed with:





Players will be delighted to note that the party in fact doubles as a large bisexual harem, assuming the members can all been kept pleased…
Romance for the ladies (or possibly men) is also present:




Just what the puritans at Sony think of all this is not clear, and nor is what state the console releases will be in.
Although Bioware’s NeverWinter Nights series was largely devoid of serious romance, the spiritual prequel to Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate II, was packed full of steamy romance and hot dark elf sex, so this is very much a return to form for Bioware.
Apart from some doubts over the excessive reliance on DLC (DLC extras are promised to those who complete a long series of surveys masquerading as a flash RPG, and some effort has been made to kill the resale market by ensuring some DLC is only available to those buying the game new), Dragon Age has been favourably received by all and looks set to become a major franchise…
The game’s release is imminent on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
Good to know it is for pc too
It is a PC game?
The article you wrote says so?
Also, from [http://dragonage.bioware.com/:]http://dragonage.bioware.com/:
"Dragon Age: Origins has gone gold and will be available November 3rd in North America for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3."
So, I'd say that's a yes.
I mean it is first and foremost a PC game which has been ported onto the consoles, as opposed to something like Mass Effect which only got a PC release as an afterthought.
They were originally going to only release it for the PC but for some reason (sales) decided to delay it so they could make a console version.
People are saying they had it completed at the start of the year but delayed to port it to the consoles...
Yes that is what happened but they also made new content with the extra time they had making the game so it wasn't a complete waste.
I don't mind them taking time to widen their customer base, but I hope they don't start giving bonuses to one system or another. I'll likely get this for PC whenever I get a better one, and I'd be pissed off if DLC was only on consoles or something to that effect.
PC, XB360 and PS3.
No way will those scenes survive the transfer to PS3...
I hope those scenes never survive. BURN IT WITH FIRE
Ill burn you with fire...I mean...smex scenes ftw. Its nice that a game isn't being crushed by various factors(ESRB rating and larger companies) and are including this like this(remember GTA:san andreas?).
I'm sure anon was referring to the yaoi.
Only prob is that yaoi can't be killed by fire. You need something along the likes of Oxygen Destroyer.
And even then it's not guaranteed.
BTW anon fail; the meme's "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
...because what you said was just redundant.
@h8GWB
Nope to get rid of that all you need is Oxyclean (Yes, I am channeling Billy's spirit at this moment)....
:DDD
If yo were channeling Billy's spirit, it would be OXYCLEAN!!
I doubt Sony will allow this through, considering the censors put up on pantsu and butt-shots.
Unless... they are biased.
If they allow this it is obvious sony is fans of yaoi and shun pantsu and loli, i'm a sony fan.. is this is allowed they hypocrits and i'll be breaking out my dreamcast again lol
Ummm, you know the game comes out in 2 weeks, right? It's already been certified. Also, you do realize that Sony's very own 1st party development studio (Sony Santa Monica) makes God of War. Y'know, the first (major) videogame title ever released with nudity. Not only that, but every God of War game thus far has gone so far as to include a sex mini-game where you bang multiple women. Oh, and lets not forget that the GTA franchise became what it is today on the PS2.
Sony is hardly a "bunch of puritans". However, it would seem that SCEI (SCE/SCE WWS's Japanese division) has a stricter policy on Japanese-only releases.
what I've been wandering about is, did Sony ask for the games to be changed because of the CERO rating that those games had (Dragon Age and Gods of War will have a "Z" rating, that is for sure) or did they ask for the change because they are biased?
If it is to do with the CERO rating, then it was the matter of asking the developer to either increase the rating to "C" or change the images, and the developer opted to changing the images.
if they are biased (ie. there are restrictions on small anime developers that do not exist on large western developers), then why haven't anyone filed a complain on them yet for this very clear biased and unfair treatment?!
it will probably be there for ps3. These parts in mass effect were not really anything special. Not like you really saw much of anything. Other then them hold each other thats really all your gonna get to see. So I don't see what the probably with this would cause.
You forgot to mention Mass Effect had hot alien sex.
which looked a lot better than what we see here...
And the alien sex itself was terrible
Thanks to Equality Now.

Yaranaika face.
Uho! Ii Otoko!
Well its Bioware. They've done this sort of thing for a long time. Baldur's Gate 2 and Fallout had plenty of off-screen sex. Heck in BG2 you could get one your love interests pregnant.
I can't wait to see what kind of BS conservatives will claim on news if they ever get their hands on this. I still remember the hilarious and ridiculous claims they made against the sex scene of Mass Effect.
Errr, Fallout 3 was made by Bethesda. Wrong dev studio pal.
Right and Black Isle Studios made the original Fallout 1 and 2, that had a LOT more sex in them then Fallout 3...well until the mods arrived hehe.
Yes and the original (aka better) Fallouts were made by Black Isle Studio's published by interplay...can't wait for Fallout Vegas which is developed by the original Black Isle staff!
That said Fallout 2 probably had the most sex content both in txt and scenes.
Aye, tis a pity we will never see the real Fallout 3, that was halfway finished before the plug was pulled and bethesda took over to appeal to the consoletards.
Black Isle Studios which which did Baldur's Gate and Fallout.he must of mix them together.
Um Bioware didn't make the original fallouts but that was at a time when only hardcore gamers played PC games not all these crazy casual gamers who have ruined it for the rest of us by bringing the conservative media outlets with them.
Mass Effect, I had seen that Sex Scene it was too dark to tell what they were doing.
yay for retards
YAranaika?
WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?
Gays should be terminated!
Bigot.
Gotta love Bioware, its like google and firefox, the company everyone loves ^^.
must create...hot...yuri....character...
+1!
haha this game looks like it will be pretty interesting. unfortunate to be released so close to MW2 it will have to wait.
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Oh my god at least you warned me about the faggotry but I still looked anyway! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
I've preordered the collector's edition of this here in the UK, at first it was just hype, but the more I hear about it, the better buying it sounds.
Plus I do like my romance in games, its something I feel hasnt really been developed as much as it could have been.
Hnnng.
I have seen a lot of trailers and screenshots for this game including the one posted here. Graphically, this game is pretty ugly.
They are very skilled to have sex with their clothes on.
Come on, that's just for foreplay, maybe there is a change that the developer got the balls to make it from A to Z, they even make lesbian and gay available
><"
I will fornicate with every man and woman I can get me dick in. :3
needs more oppai physics. AND WTF IS WITH THE ELF.
I want more reviews. I already preordered the game because it's Bioware but I still want to know the quality of the game I'm getting.
Obligatory "balls are touching" comment.
I guess the first game we will see real full HD boobs (as i mean full naked) is God Of War III, or Heavy Rain, and both are exclusive for the PS3 as well.
So....PS3 owners win!
Why do they feel the need to add this...
So you can have hot gay dark-elf sex?
That's worth the cover price alone in my book! lawl
Recalling the lesson I learned from Mass Effect, the sex herein will probably be too tame to fap to and so unrealistic as a representation of the physical act of love as to be dramatically off-putting.
But there are some rather interesting fanart of the female Shepherd and her children. If only I know where to get the original version.
"3d" pig disgusting
now THIS is 3D epic failure!
hardly see any harm in it. i mean Mass Effect did it as well. Put it nude and you win!
Uho~ Aniki.
banned in australia
AHAHAHAAAHAHAAHAHA!!! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!
Viconia was so tsundere.
Those bras better be removable.
All their cloths better be removable.
Fixed.
GAYYYYYYY!!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
MY EYEEEES >.<
@.@ *BUAARRRG*
November can't come fast enough... still want my free candy though
Free candy ??? Excuse me but what kind of "free candy" you mentioned ???
Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo won't allow Adult Only (AO) rated games by the ESRB.
For reference, Fahrenheit(aka Indigo Prophecy) was rated AO for having a couple of tasteful softcore sex scenes that could easily be in an R rated film.
Unless there is a patch that is extra for the PC version, there is no way prudent America will let this in the game, unless Bioware paid someone off, or actually managed common sense on the part of someone at the ESRB.
This seems no different then "Hot Coffee" in GTA: San Andreas which had very crude clothed polygon fictional characters in simulated sexual acts and which was also rated Adults Only.
It's a shame, too. Video games are considered a toy for children, and even with a rating system, we can't allow the medium to mature, because of immature & insecure puritan faggots and shitty parents.
I seriously hope that it isn't full of bugs like NWN2, and they seem to make the female's face look better, guess they had found a better modeler,wish they had found a better programmer too.
Well seeing as NWN2 was made by obsidian and not bioware i think it will be safe. Bioware in general makes some pretty solid products and tend to at least give us a few patches.....not counting the PC mass effect though :(
Looking forward to this game... Not for the gay sex though of course.
Wow, even Bioware's into the eroge market, huh?
One can only wonder if we'll have Wookiees bounty hunters shagging Ewok Jedis in their upcoming MMORPG, Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Maybe a shinny new age will come upon us, I can see the sun is raising at the horizon.
Wow, that guy looks like a skinny version of Robert Downey Jr + Johnny Depp..
I don't mind if it's a girl and a dude or two girls, but two guys...? It's disgusting!
Did not need to see those last few pics...
Elf boy takes it up the bum.
Got to admit, he looked like a total bottom.
those crazy canadians.
barf
Too bad we can't make a loli as main character since it is from Canada. ;_;
Ah, Fox News is going to bitch about this since it pretty much like Mass Effect.
Finally, equal again. One could have gay romance in Jade Empire. But here we'll even get a scene.
And, there's 4 romancable NPCs total, with 3 being available at a time (two straight, one bi). Harem end?
OH FUCK!
MY EYES! MY EYES!
QUICK! GET ME SOME BLEACH!
Well in a way this is definitely a lot more of a realistic situation for a video game. I mean in a lot of RPGs it's a bunch of guys travelling around with fewer girls. It's a gang-rape waiting to happen. There's no way that none of these characters would have 0 desire to have sex with some of the female party members, (especially the ones with outfits that are completely asking for it.) In short, there should probably be more sex scenes in all of these long RPGs....
Great scot...The trophies require to play through every romance though! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is awful!
I am glad I reserved my copy weeks ago...
Nothing like some elven sausages once in a while...
You'd think a site like this would have an average age over 13 or so. Judging by the "EW GAY MALES ARE GROSS BUT LESBIANS ARE OK BECAUSE I PERSONALLY FIND THEM HOT" comments, I guess not.
I find both disgusting and I am twenty-two.
What's even funnier is the "Bleach my eyes!" but then put Jun up there and it's 'fap fap fap!'
Either way it's going up the bum, but I guess Jun is much much cuter. Even I'd hit it.
I'm forty three and i think gay males are gross but lesbians ok because i personally find em hot
Gimme back Viconia. You can't have a party without her.
oh Viconia, how I remember your tasteful, sultry dialogue.
was just too drunk or i did see a dude to dude scene there?
wow, i would like to make fuk fuk because i love games with fuk fuk, i love to play with muiezinha and she love to make fuc fuc with the dog and wanna make fuk fuk with elfos
The only thing that disgusts me here is the amount of bigotry in these comments.
Thank you all for affirming your sexuality because some of us were starting to actually care.
It's a role playing game, and kudos to the dev team for making it true to the diversity of real life and not restricting the possibilities for everyone just because some people "aren't into it."
No one's telling you how to play the game, people. Although my guess is that some of you who made the "oh no gay sex!" comments are starting a new character as we speak.
