Just in case the blood and killinâ wasnât enough to grab an M, Dragon Age: Origins threw in some trannies and implied bestality to leave no doubt that children shouldnât be playing it.
The ESRBâs rating is not a surprise; its ratings description is a barrel of jolly time fun, though. Sounds like you can visit ye olde cat-house and click an âIâm feeling luckyâ button when the madam asks you what you like. That means players âcan sometimes wind up face-to-face with a woman, a man, a transsexual, or an animal,â according to the ESRB. âSexual activity is never depicted during these brothel encounters.â Drat.
âPlayers can also initiate brief cutscene sequences in which couples (male and female or same sex couples) can be depicted kissing, embracing, and caressing one another as the screen fades to black,â says the ESRB. However â thereâs zero nudity, except for a pair of demon tits, and thatâs not enough to get it flagged.
