Anyone else looking forward to Dragon Age? (Spoilers and plot discussion here)

I'm gonna play a human or elf champion, making sweet sweet love to an elf assassin.

That's hostile. The propose response is "Homo".

Tell me more...

If you play the human noble origin you can have sex almost right away if you talk dirty to the right squire/lady in waiting.

One question.  There is a 9 year old wandering around Ice Station Barrister these days, and he often looks over my shoulder when I play WoW.  I couldn't help but notice the M for Mature rating for Dragon Age.  Is that only for the excessive blood, or is it mature to the point I couldn't even play the game when he's around?

If you remove the clothing/armor for the female characters, you will see them in bra and panties, with revealing forms.
You may kiss a girl (well, hetero sex, so if you play a female, she'll kiss one of the guys).

AFAIK, there is no sex scene and no nudity, and it's rated 13+, mostly for splashing blood.  If seeing half-naked women covered in blood will disturb your 9 year old, you should maybe avoid it.
Or you can start sexual education right away, telling him how women in the real world don't run around in panties while covered in the blood of their slain ennemies.

You can have lesbian/gay sex too.

Motherfucker.  This game is damn hard on normal.  A rogue cannot avoid combat skills.  I repeat, CANNOT AVOID THEM.

[Martinus]

I always end up playing a warrior/paladin type in Bioware games, at least on the first play-through. They are best at surviving.

I hope I can get the game tomorrow. Can't wait.

I know.  Isn't it awesome?

Pretty sure it's rated 17+.

And since he isn't my kid, I sure as hell am not starting any "sexual education" with him.

Ok let me make this clear: unless you yourself seek out the sex it will not be coming to you.  There will be no naked women unless you take the clothes off your character yourself and it is pretty obvious when you are flirting and asking for sex.

So long as you use common sense I don't think your 9 year old pal should be seeing anything outside of good old video game violence.

He's in your house.  He's your property.

Do you guys think this would play terribly on a console?

Do you guys think this would play terribly on a console?

The assumption is, for reasons I am not sure, that it is not as good on the console.  The actual professional reviews playing it on the console were very positive though despite this rumor.

I do not really use my mouse that much so I think it should be fine controls wise.

BUT I am playing it on the PC.  Read up on the internet a bit first.
