Bos_hybrid Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 You never have complete control over your avatar in any computer game. You only have the control that the designers allow you to have. You know what I meant. I would like the wheel just as much as the standard dialog system, if it would give more information how shepard reacts. The Asari rape scene anyone? Basically it would be nice to be told in advanced if someone is going to rape me. Common courtesy.

What!? Where? How? Asari consort. She gives you advice, my renegade Shepard replied 'that it' he get raped. Edited August 31, 2009 by Bos_hybrid
Guest Slinky Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Oh that. The whole scene was so strange that I wasn't quite sure what the hell just happened.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 No, it was supposed to look like Shep was disapointed with her "reward" and wanted more, so she had sex with him. It's a terrible scene. You really can't know you're heading for a sex scene beforehand. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
alanschu Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That whole scene is very bizarre indeed. When hearing about the "sex simulator" scandal, I was like "Is that it!?" Though the scene at the end was done significantly better, and was probably the "ZOMG" scene FOX was concerned with.
Amentep Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 No, it was supposed to look like Shep was disapointed with her "reward" and wanted more, so she had sex with him. It's a terrible scene. You really can't know you're heading for a sex scene beforehand. Maybe its just me, but it seemed pretty obvious listening to dialogue around the plaza, in the consort's offices, reading about the Asari on the information kiosks and reading in the menu encyclopedia what would happen if a PC expressed disappointment with the reward. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

So you are saying he was asking for it?
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 What happens if you have a female Shepherd? I don't remember anything.

So you are saying he was asking for it? No, what I'm saying is that I felt that the game had given a lot of indicators that sex was a part of the consort's offices and that expressed dissatisfaction in a reward with the office would imply the Shep in question wanted some sexual satisfaction as way of reward.

Llyranor Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 There's a very distinct line between expressing dissatisfaction and being Volourned, though. Bioware crossed that line. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Purkake Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 So being Volourned isn't forcing someone to play NWN OC while you watch?
Amentep Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) There's a very distinct line between expressing dissatisfaction and being Volourned, though. Bioware crossed that line. I dunno, to me the game was obvious - if you deny this reward you are asking for some sexxoring. It would have been nice if you could have made a formal request of the compensation you wanted (it'd have been priceless just to see the ring options!) and had appropriate reactions BUT I don't think that the result that happened was in anyway a surprise.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 31, 2009 Author Posted August 31, 2009 What happens if you have a female Shepherd? I don't remember anything. Same thing. Also, I'd like to mention the sex scene itself just looks plain bad. Very weird. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back!

alanschu Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I agree. I wasn't even really sure what had happened.
Hurlshort Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I agree. I wasn't even really sure what had happened. It's called denial. A scalding hot shower won't wash away the shame. She will just do it again to some other innocent ship captain.

All that running around & sucking up to a turian for a few measly credits. Edited September 1, 2009 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
