I've just played the demo for the second game in order to get myself familiar with all the changes and all I could notice was that there were giant tits everywhere.

Now I'm not averse to large breasts, but to have them in every single scene and on every single female character is a bit much. Even Flemmeth now has a sturdy DD going and Isabella is 25% of Isabella is her boobs alone. It's to the point where it's just distracting.

I don't know why but I expected a bit more class from BioWare.
they did it because people complained about the lack of differences between the character models based on gender. i approve.

I'll be the guy audience they were targeting and say, "Well looks like I'm going to buy it" and how about "It's gonna be HUUUUGG-JAA"

But seriously, no problems here. If we want to role play then lets think of it as people using magic to augment their charisma modifier. *wink*

But that wasn't the worst part. She practically invites you to have sex with her no less than five minutes after meeting her.

Bioware, what the *bleep* is this? Seriously.
Le sigh.

Is it really that difficult to view a demo as a cross section? That nice little 45 minute jaunt into the DA2 world is supposed to give you a taste of what the game has to offer. Up until that point you were fleeing the darkspawn, any missions you had were directly related to the main plot. Isabella brought in side quests, and branching progression options. (Find relic/Forget CrimeBosswhosenameIforgetrightnow) It also introduces the character to the rivalry system, as Isabella and Aveline obviously do not get on, hinting at a potential necessity of choosing between them (Bioware did mention you wouldn't be able to be mates with everybody...). And, obviously, brings in the LI factor too.

The narrative in this manner is much more efficient and assimilatable than if they just threw feature after feature at you with bigloud graphical labels. You learn more by subtext.

You know, having her as a romance is a bad idea. Most people had sex with her in Origins. You meet her in DA2 before your DA1 character has sex with her. I find it hard to have a romance with someone when I know that later she will have a rockin' foursome with a guy much more awesome than Hawke.
Who's to say when this is? We don't know how they got to Kirkwall, or how long it took them to get there, or how long they spent before getting to Isabella. Remember, this game takes place over 10 years, apparently. DA:O was what, 4 months? Add another 1-2 for Awakening, GoA and Witch hunt? So 6 months at the outside. Barely a footnote against a much more epic tale. Point is we don't know yet!

Flemeth/Darkspawn
I was thinking about the change of models too.

Flemeth is obvious. When you first meet her in DA:O, she is posing as a crazy old witch. Skilled, but seemingly harmless. Then as you speak to Morrigan, her reveal is set up gradually, building to the climax if you choose to fight her. In DA2, there is no need for such a harmless guise. Flemeth is revealed to the Hawkes in the full mantle of her power, the ageless Asha'belannar. The guise of the crone is cast aside, for there is no need for it.

The Darkspawn I'm not sure about. My initial guess is a retcon relating to something to do with the architect's work. You'll notice that the Disciples also appeared more human than their grunt cousins in DA:A. If the Architect's storyline is going to be advanced any further in DA2, this might help with relatability.

Whatever the reason turns out to be, I like the new darkspawn. The old ones were just monsters, but the obvious human lineage of the hurlocks and qunari of the ogres in DA2 suggested the possibility of greater depth to them in this installment.

I don't see how this is a problem.
After seeing the Demo video, I would have to agree with you; Not a problem.

Now if there was a NUDE mode...
You're just gonna have to wait for the toolset. IF there is one

I'm pretty sick of hearing people whine about large breasts. It's gotten to the point where people act like anyone having large breasts is unnatural and never happens. I've spoken to a couple of large busted females, and they've noticed it as well, and they aren't even hardcore gamers.

It's almost like some people are jealous that their real life selves or girlfriends do not have a chest that big. Why else should you care? Girls that have big boobs do exist. Just because they are not A or B cup does not make them abnormal.
This. Seriously, are those of us who didn't really notice, or care, simply in the minority? Grow up, people.

I did enjoy how the game starts with you kicking ass and being a legendary hero, and then Varric goes, "Ya got me, here's the real story."

And then do it again, kicking the exact same amount of ass, except this time with three supermodels and your brother tagging along. And one of the supermodels is your aging mom.

Yeah, I noticed, but It's not that bad. I think it'll be less pronounced with other characters. I mean, Sissy was exaggerated, and Isabella is quite the fox, I believe.


And can I remark that I like how rogues now have a battle skirt for more agility? It certainly is more fun to play different classes.

Large tits are large. Perhaps it could be considered whining, but as I'm large myself, meh. I'd rather see characters with natural, more believable chest sizes than Jordan lookalikes bouncing around the screen.

For those that are argueing saying 'I see loads of women with breasts that are the same size' I ask you, how many of those women you see are trained fighters? How about acrobats, or physcially fit? At most the answer will be one or two, because it simply doesn't happen. When your body is fit, it loses fat; fat is stored in breasts, ergo ones boobs get smaller.

And yes it did annoy me. Although I chuckled when I noticed the difference in both story tellings, it still was just too much.
It's also why I avoided Miranda (I think that was her name) in ME2, because that is just wrong. I understand that she is modified to be 'perfect' but no amount of modification could make that work.

As a woman, I find it degrading when a game panders to the 16-year old pocket mining demographics by painting some huge titties on the girls, to drive sales. It's demeaning.

Its just not realistic either. As someone thats trained in martial arts I know that if you're working your body in that sort of a way, theres one and only one way you're going to keep those giant tits, and it involves a knife and silicon.

I think the real problem is the context. This world is serious business and it's kinda weird having two broads with their cleavage hanging out, with one being a mom no less. Also, the character models aren't the most detailed so it ends up looking even more ridiculous.

If you're going to go big bewbs and skimpy outfits then you have to go all the way like Ninja Gaiden or Soul Calibur. Unapologetic. If you're going to go serious business then you have to find a nice middle ground like ME2.

This is a case of, "we spent a lot of time looking at fan feedback and user created content". I like all sizes of sweeter muffins, but I have to admit that the super-D's on these female characters are a bit distracting if not completely unrealistic. I can't help but think that the pirate chick would actually be attractive if she didn't have two Jigglypuffs duct-taped to her chest.
