Dragon Age: Inquisition får smakfullare sexscener

Bioware har gjort sig ett namn på rollspelsmarknaden med sin intima karaktärsutveckling, som allt som oftast leder till sexuella tillställningar i digital form. I en intervju berörande Dragon Age: Inquisition med Gamerzines, berättar Jonathan Perry, Biowares cinematiska regissör, att man nu lagt än större fokus på att göra dessa scener mer vuxna och verklighetstrogna.

"We certainly could push those romance scenes in any direction we wanted really. Something that didn't work well is that we tried more, well I won't say graphic, but in Dragon Age: Origins we had characters crawling around in their underwear and it looked weird because they were wearing these lacy Victoria's Secret panties and outfits which looked out of place."

Perry tillade även att det handlar om en ren kostnadsfråga, snarare än en nedtoning efter den kontrovers de tidigare titlarna, Mass Effect och Dragon Age: Origins, givit upphov till. Han fortsätter: "Certainly when you have these characters interacting with each other in such an intimate way it's incredibly expensive in terms of animation fidelity and getting it to look like they are really there and touching each other."

"I think Mass Effect's scenes were done really well and I think we will take Inquisition's scenes in that direction. You might have a nude character but they are framed in such a way that parts of them are in shadow, or having characters in various states of undress.

Under intervjun fastställer han även att sexet absolut inte ska bli det huvudsakliga fokuset. Däremot har det grafiska en större roll i hur vi uppfattar karaktärer än vi, vid en första anblick, kan tro.

"We also want to focus not just on the sex itself, but also that this is the culmination of spending a lot of time with a character and getting to know them, and so we're giving scenes a mature and tasteful treatment I guess. We'll see where it goes for Dragon Age: Inquisition, it's something that we're working on right now so we'll see how these scenes pan out."

Hur viktiga är egentligen de intima stunderna för serien?
