We already know Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have romance and saucy scenes. This is normal for a BioWare RPG in a post-Mass effect world. But it sounds like the upcoming game in the popular fantasy series won’t limit the nudity to the moments when protagonist Rook and his chosen partner make out. What’s still unclear is whether it will show everything this time, but BioWare does not rule out this possibility.
Game Informer published an article as part of its ongoing July cover story, which confirmed that topless nudity in The Veil Guardian‘S Character Creatora first in the franchise. From a practical standpoint, this is useful during the character creation process when you want your Rook’s body to look a certain way, which is easier to do when he has his shirt off. Game Informer When asked if there would be nudity elsewhere in the game, director Corrine Busche replied: “This is an adult role-playing game.”
If Dragon Age: The Veilguard will follow Baldur’s Gate 3 Example and include genitals, BioWare apparently said Game Informer The studio wants fans to find out for themselves. That’s not a clear “yes,” but if it’s “no,” it’s a strangely evasive answer. That’s not to say they’d be impossible to avoid giving a direct answer if there’s disappointing news, but you also open yourself up to backlash when you pretend something doesn’t exist. Notably, you can customize your Rook’s bulge in the character editor, but it remains to be seen whether that goes beyond underwear fit.
Nudity has become a fairly common occurrence in BioWare games over the years. The original Mass effect came under fire from hilariously unrealistic conservative media at the time because of some sex-negative misinformation. Mass Effect 2The sex scenes lacked the same spice, although nudity and more explicit sex scenes were included in Mass Effect 3 And Mass Effect: Andromeda. Dragon Age had a similar trajectory: Dragon Age: Origins had implied nudity that was obscured by very deliberate camera angles in the sex scenes, but most of the nudity came from humanoid creatures like The mother. Dragon Age II is probably one of the tamer entries in BioWare’s modern catalog when it comes to nudity, but inquisition offered the most explicit depiction BioWare had ever done at that time, with constant tit and ass shots. When The Veil Guardian escalates further than Mass effect done, it will probably live up to the label “mature role-playing game” that Busche gives it.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released this fall for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. While we don’t know how explicit the sex scenes will be, we do know that all seven of his companions will be Romanticizable by any variation of Rook.
