http://www.examiner.com/article/dragon-age-3-inquisition-developer-responds-to-lack-of-maturity-concern?cid=taboola_inboundquote:John Epler has issued a response in regards to a fan’s concern about the upcoming multiplatform video game, “Dragon Age 3: Inquisition,” lacking in mature contents. According to a post from the Bioware Social Network forum on May 17, the cinematic designer for the “Dragon Age” stated that “gratuitous nudity and violence” won’t make the sequel more mature by default. http://social.bioware.com/forum/Dra...16707320-1.html quote:I remember reading an interview back when Mass Effect 2 was released, about how the Mass Effect team was aiming for a PG-13 feel for their game

/\/\/\/\/\/\ If I haven't seen it, it's new to me! :iamafag: Why doesn't he just buy the creepy anime games that SA used to review? Creepy bastard. the same creepy guy you quoted posted:Now you're just playing with words. I don't think the ESRB or any other rating organism cares about how content is dealt with when coming up with a rating. An M-rating will be based on certain criteria. All the suggestions I made are all things that would surely give the game a hard M-rating. I'm pretty sure it's an auto-correct mistake, although I kind of hope it's not. But it made me laugh.

Lotish posted:Is there more from this guy? I'm dying here. Oh hell yeah. Go to the SexGun Rasputin's link. Most replies to him boil down to, "That's gross," and, "I wouldn't buy that game." I like this reply:  This one from the original guy who wants blood and sex in his dragon age is especially good, too.  "It does if in the world you've created, dwarves don't wear pants! Even though that is not the case with dragon age and I'm just trying to make poo poo up so that I don't look like an idiot! I'm not saying this because I want you to change what you're doing. I'm just saying this so that you will change what you're doing because this is such an awesome idea or so that EA will see this and tell you to change what you're doing." I imagine that in real life, this guy is intolerable to be around. He's the guy who starts arguments out of nowhere, "playing the devil's advocate" while throwing around random facts he's read, but has misunderstood, to back up his arguments.

After the Mass Effect Trilogy and making the mistake of going to the BSN forums I'm nothing but apathetic to that whole series. I want to get into Dragon Age, I starting to get a sword and sorcery setting itch, so hopefully it's gonna be good.

Yeah Origins is a pretty fun game and Dragon Age II is so disconnected from it plot wise that it doesn't ruin it by association. Origins could honestly serve just fine as a standalone game, but I guess Bioware really wanted to have a trilogy. Even though this trilogy doesn't have much of an overarching plot at all.

I mean except that events in DA2 can be exactly and impossibly contrary to events that happen in DAO so. DAO is a great standalone game but if you're going to look at it in context of the entire series, DA2 does manage to poo poo all over just about everything. Also I dunno what that guy was expecting when Dragon Age fans use the very same BSN forums he didn't like?

Not much to go on to find an interview but no one person wrote all the romance paths in any BioWare game, including DA2. I'm pretty sure that falls under the responsibility of the person writing for that character in general.

Which is funny, because Mass Effect was also designed to be a universe to replace a previously held one. They just elected to go with a trilogy to start it off. I think Dragon Age was always meant to be separate stories, though. I seem to remember a quote about 'you're not going to just be fighting the next blight' or something like that when Dragon Age 2 was first being talked about seriously.

Bored posted:I could have sworn someone at bioware said that Dragon Age wasn't going to be a trilogy. They're also right, in the sense that there's no trilogy arc that starts with Origin and ends with Inquisition. Also, again, right, because unless Inquisition is a dismal failure, they'll probably keep working on the franchise for a long time.

Yeah I definitely recall that when Origins was released they weren't hyping up the idea of a trilogy. Which is why I was confused when I found out Dragon Age II was going to let you import your save file. That seemed weird to me, I mean if this game is a mostly separate story then why would your choices from Origins have a big enough impact to merit an import?
