Unless the Origin variations open very different avenues of the game, it seems a better investment of time is just to make the core of the game, which every gamer will experience, better for all gamers.

 

There is no way to make something better for all gamers.

 

I beg to differ. Give the plant lady nipples and everyone is happy.

Christian gamers rally against nipples, demon scrotum, in new Conan game.

[Morgoth]

Strange. I always thought Christians embrace the joy of life and family hood, so aren't nipples then part of this?

 

Anyway, I agree though. A game that has nipples or not is to me like a breakfast bread with nutella or without.

Exactly why I said what I did. Some of the bio fanboys want to jump on me for bio-bashing when I am simply pointing out the very true fact. Big publishers like EA care about PR and image. Bioware is far from independent, it was merged then bought. They are a subsidiary of a subsidiary now. All it takes is a group like this to shine a light on the more violent, sexual tones of this game and I PROMISE you EA will fold like a book and bioware won't be able to do a damn thing except say 'yes sir/ma'am and how high do you want me to jump again?'

 

*shrugs* This is why obsidian has a far better chance to pull a mature content game then bioware at this point. They still have to answer to a publisher however they answer internally to no one and if they want to pitch a mature game to a publisher I am sure which ones they know to avoid and which ones will be more open minded about the subject matter.

 

But back to the point, there's a long time between now and release. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets toned down and some of these more mature topics talked about now simply disappear and are never talked about/seen again (SOP when the dev is forced to pull content by the publisher).

Few people know this, but breat milk is the method by which original sin is transfered from one generation to another. Nipples may appear to be sweet, innocent nibbly bits, but really they're the lactiferous ducts of Lucifer himself.

Since satan is just a fictional character created by the church to instill control over its members (fear is a wonderful way to instill compliance.. look at what bush did after the sept attacks for another example) I will still happily suck away

[Morgoth]

And I will continue eating Nutella! (and become fat )

[Llyranor]

Thus becoming Hades in more ways than one!

[Purkake]

Noo! Will someone think of the nipples?

 

Now christians are trying to take away my nipples? Where will this end?

[crakkie]

You can have my nipples when you pry them off my pasty, flaccid man-boobs.

You want the nipples? You can't handle the nipples!

 

Edit: I'm so sorry mods. I try to get away but they keep on pulling me back in!

"Big publishers like EA care about PR and image. Bioware is far from independent, it was merged then bought."

 

Must explain why MS, and EA okayed both JE, and ME despite their 'controversial' sexual encounters including naked alien butt. In fact, they even came to the game's defense when Fox News, and some morons decided to rail against it. Not to mention, unlike BIO's D&D games, their last two have been M rated. If anything, it seems BIO isn't as limited as one thinks they are with EA (or MS before them).

 

 

HAHAHAHA!

[Rhomal]

Time will tell.

[Volourn]

I don't remember any controversial sexual encounters in either BG; but since signing with MS, and EA; BIO's games have had them. In fact, they've been amongst the biggest hype for the games espicially in ME's case which actually got on a national tv news show. *shrug*

Like I said all it will take is one bible thumping conservative lets turn the country to the xian version of iran parent group or EA exec and we'll then see. If no such incident happens and it flys under such folks radar sure, prob be more or less as is. However if it does not is where I say 2:1 odds it gets toned down.

 

As I said, time will tell.

[Llyranor]

Would you bet your life on it?

[Nick_i_am]

I'd do anything for a Scooby Snack!

That it gets noticed by a wing nut republican/conservative group that wants to yell murder or if it does it will get toned down? Two very different variables.

[deganawida]

Wow, quite the persecution complex you got going there, Rhomal.

 

Back to the discussion at hand, I'm not particularly bothered by the lack of a human commoner origin. It seems as though the nobility of Fereldan is more like the nobility of the Vikings and the Celts, in that the nobility had very real responsibilities to the common people and could lose their positions if they failed in their responsibilities. This makes it more believable that a noble would leave his manor and quest to destroy a threat, rather than conscript serfs to do it for him, thereby avoiding one of the common mistakes of fantasy writers (the scifi equivalent is Captain Kirk syndrome, where it's the officers who do everything).

[Volourn]

"Like I said all it will take is one bible thumping conservative lets turn the country to the xian version of iran parent group or EA exec and we'll then see"

 

Didn't stop ME. Fox News (a known conservative news show) lambasted ME as porn when the PC release came out, and EA simply laughed in their face - so much so, Fox actually had to apologize for it.

 

So, time will tell has already been told. Just admit you are wrong here.

[Maria Caliban]

I'd bet Rhomal's life on it.

Don't wagers need actual value?

I know silly me, I must be paranoid or something thinking folks are taking shots at me for the simply fact that disagree and too immature to express such. My bad...
