im all in the "sex scenes can further the plot in really interesting ways" crowd, and i think one thing sex scenes are amazing for is exploring how a specific character handles intimacy and vulnerability and stuff, but so often in video games they just suck so bad and not just for the reason that its awkward to watch 2 animated meshes have clunkily animated sex, but also because they do actually really do nothing for the story because they are usually either just one set of animations that is interchangeably used no matter what character you are romancing or the character you are romancing acts completely different than they usually do, as not to turn off players who are romancing a character for a spicy sex scene

#myposts #also probably for budgeting and animation reasons #but i felt such a strange disconnect between like. flirting with minthara and the actual sex scene #because like. this lady just randomly projects her bsdm fantasies into your head #and just generally talks like you would expect in that type of relationship #and then you sleep with her and its the most vanilla sex ever #and then suddenly she has feelings for you? like that could have been so interesting #if she hides her vulnerability behind the urge to control and dominate everything around her but thats kinda not what happens?#yeah im still on that minthara bullshit #as always this is not about the game of all time dragon age 2 #like when you sleep with fenris for the first time and he realizes that hes not really ready to be that vulnerable around you #and then breaks up with you for THREE YEARS that shit was great. thats what we need more of #or that in origins sleeping with a character usually really boosts your approval w that character #but zevran is basically unbothered by it. even though i will not defend any animated dragon age sex scene they are so awkward
