    Then again, global warming is a myth.  (lol).



     

    Hahaha, there isn't even graphic sexual positions in this game like they claim. You kiss the person and lie down (with underwear and bra still on) and the scene ends!

    Apparently the writers have something against spooning.



     

    Spooning! Oh, the horror! What is this world coming to when we can watch 2 males spoon in a video game. We are all doomed I tell you! Repent now!

    Yes, spoony love. How dreadful it tis.

    I seriously don't have an issue with people who have a set of values, morals, whatever you want to call it, and they live by them. Especially if those values don't infringe or try to dictate how others live.

    It's when people like this get up on their soapboxes, virtual or on the street corner, is when I get upset. I don't go around spouting of my values and morals. I keep them to myself. I expect the same in return. If I ask you for yours, by all means, talk to my ears bleed. If I don't, then STFU.

    Yeah, kinda like spewing liberal drivel on a gaming website.  How oppressive. 



     

    Um what are you talking about?

    Well, if you want to make an assumption on my political affiliations based on that little information, then I'll make one on your 53 years of age and being from Iowa. Vote for Palin again and see where it gets ya!

    Bioware is a god amonst developers. Not only do they push the concepts of virtual worlds forward with each game but they also show no fear in holding a mirror upto the world. If someone is offended by Dragon Age then they should leave earth because EVERYTHING in dragon age save the magic can and does happen here in the real world.

    As for video games depicting real world theings I say go for it! Video Games are a medium of expression just as music, art, movies, and books are. Why restrict them if you're not willing to restrict them all. I agree the WorldNewsthinga-ma-bob is just a bigots network and yes it is fun to watch Bioware stir up the tight wads.

    Why am I not playing this game?

  • khaelfkhaelf Member Posts: 73

    Didn't bother to read this drivel, I'm just curious; Is there any particular reason you guys are spamming a website called MMORPG.com with news and articles about this mediocre and ridiculously overhyped RPG?

    Well, because while this might be mmorpg, it is an rpg...and by the looks of it sponsors a lot on this website. It is a really great game, it has a good, if not great, storyline behind it. It is not for everyone but it is really good and I like it. Plus...gonna make another female character and go with Leliana.

    How does what WND post on their site affect any gamers who may or may not play Dragon Age? WND doesn't like graphic depictions of sex of ANY kind: gay, bisexual, transgender and yes, guess what HETEROsexual sex either. No, I'm sure they don't want to censor this game, but let's see: even if they DO, so what? It has an "M" rating, it's been distributed, and every news site in the world can condemn it if they want to. It doesn't affect YOUR gaming experience in any way.
    Not sure why Dana wrote this one. So we can start a flamewar about religion, censorship & politics? So we can all start condemning "the other side" without bothering to actually find out they are real people with opinions of their own? Not getting it...



    Because their 'opinion' is degrading towards gay people. Not to mention, incredibly hypocrite if they know about what the game lets you do. If you were right, they wouldnt have specifically named it 'gaysex'. Any person that believes in equal rights, would get worked up about it.

    And you are also contradicting yourself. This is not a flamewar, just someone who voices his opinion about an article of WND. According to you everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. But apparently not if someone has a negative opinion about an article in WND, right?

    Dragon Age is the child of Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate is one of the father's of PC gaming RPGs. Thats why Dragon Age is mentioned frequently on this website.

    And rightly so. Its a fantastic game.... but not for everyone.  Its a game made for those people who played and loved Baldur's Gate and I just flat out don't care if anyone doesn't like it.

    The MMORPG genre could really benefit from presenting Story like Bioware and Dragon Age does... People get tired of MMOs so rapidly because a lackluster Combat System and Loot... isn't enough for a human to really keep loving.

    And... these controversies are fantastic. I hope more wicked wicked Gay Sex ends up in games to come.

    Did anyone else ever tell the proprietor at the Pearl "surprise me"?  The result is rather hilarious...

    However the writer(s?) on website which called it "dirty gay sex" should be condemned as a bigot and a homophobe.  He/she didn't criticize the game for its "dirty straight sex," did they?
     
    Sigh.  To think we're living in thee 21st c.



     

    So because someone does not agree with you, they should be condemned?? ohh wait, forgot thats how liberals think, be tolerant of everyone that agrees with you and condemn the rest as being intolerant...

    Sigh. To think we're living in the 21st c.

    I believe those can have their own opinions but to misinform especially when saying that the two gay men are not only dirty but naked while preforming MANY sex acts in the game..was uncalled for, first of all...they look very clean and I see a pair of boxers on these men...

    As a liberal, you have the right to your own opinion but don't misinform nor shove your opinion down my throat. ALSO! She, yes the author of this article is a she...only complained about Zev and a Male PC...no mention anywhere about Leliana and the Female PC...do I see a double standard? It is wrong for two men but two women it is okay?

    The writer of the WND article did just that (underlined).

    Its interesting that you condone that, but not someone who wants to voice their opinion about that article. You are so biased lol.

    Not to mention that putting everything into a liberals vs conservatives perspective is incredibly naieve. Im positive that both sides have their share of idiots.

    You will see more people post in this thread who dont give a rats ass about your liberal vs conservative political crap. They just noticed that the article in WND doesnt make sense at all, unless you are incredibly hypocrite.

    But I guess that only WND (whoever they are)gets to voice their opinion about others.

    This is like a parent going bananas after buying their 10 year old son a copy of debbie does dallas and omg there is naked people and actual sex in this video.

    Yes the parent did see the big XXX on the box but thought that's just for show to drive up sales there is no way it actually has naked people in it.

    I love how your post relates to your handle.

    I've yet to play the game, but I'm going to say people are just mad because bioware and them did it first lol ^_^ I love how people are paranoid about what their kids see/play/hear. If they're that worried they haven't taught their kids well, or else forget to put in the chip that allows them to control their kid's every move. Parents are just stupidly overly protective of their kids for some reason. My sister is the same, which is funny because she said she'd never do that. anyways I hope to see/hear more games about these types of things. The more choices you have the more appetizing it is. And really creates a TRUE RPG. which is why the Real D&D will NEVER stay dead.



    On a side note in D&D I almost got my ass kicked by two turkeys >_>

    I think you'd be surprised how many people change their opinions and even change themselves once they become a parent.

    I alway find it interesting how many people say "when I'm a parent I won't do 'this' wont' allow them to do 'that' but they can certainly do 'all of this'".

     

    Then they actually become a parent.

    Either ignore articles* about Dragon Age, or visit another site.

     

    * Theres been what, 2 articles about it? And one was a few weeks ago. Get off your high horse, stop demanding what this site does and get over it.

    Haha I know! I actually pointed out that hypocrisy in my original draft of the post but I took it out. It went something like "Stop plugging Torchlight in your sig, it's not a MMO game".

    Im glad BIOWARE made this game like this and did not hold back on pathetic narrow minded views of how we should play this game.

    I dont see anything wrong in this game, its just a game nothing more.

    Im an atheist but still play DAO even tho its very religion involved with this MAKER crap but its just a game and its after all a part of how we humans live on this planet same with SEX hetro gay whatever.

    The pathetic part of this all is there more concerned about some tits, naked women/man then violence.

    I wonder those who making a big fuss about this are prolly some creepy sex offenders themselfs.

    Bring more SEX to game i say:P

    Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
    In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

     Porn in video games? *sigh* what happened to the old fashion Tolkien type RPGs.

    Now games have all this political correct nonsense with gay sex and what not. I mean seriously, if I want porn I download it. Why does a fantasy game have to have porn? Gay or otherwise.
