Dragon Age: The Veilguard developers have answered the most urgently thirsty questions about the RPG fourquel, confirming that there will be a Baldur's gate 3-style toggle to turn nudity on and off during the game's more frisky scenes.

"There is a toggle for on/off nudity," game director Corinne Busche said in a recent Discord Q&A. "That is one of the settings we have - and we'll be going deeper into settings and accessibility as we get a little bit closer to launch."

Busche elaborates that the character creator will also let players customize Rook's underwear, or underclothes, to decide "whether that exposes your chest or your breasts." Dragon Age: The Veilguard's default option is to have nudity turned on, though, "but at any point, you can toggle the setting to be non-nudity and it will overwrite your undergarments."

Since Baldur's Gate 3 set players loose to seduce vampires, bears, and any other manner of vaguely sexy fantasy denizens, there's definitely been an uptick in interest over how romantic RPGs are now - to the point where Busche previously teased nudity in The Veilguard like it was a sparkly feature.

While we know that topless nudity is definitely a thing in this version of Thedas, confirming whether "bottom nudity" was also featured apparently veered too closely into spoilery territory, as the studio said it wants fans to discover that for themselves when the time comes.

In less thirsty news, BioWare recently revealed all of Dragon Age: The Veilguard's different editions for when it finally comes out on October 31. The Collector's Edition is a whopping $150, includes tons of fun merch, but not the game itself. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Edition got the EA special with 23-exclusive cosmetics, pre-order armor, and three art book editions.

This game is going to be a predatory zombie game skinned as Dragon Age after they were originally going to cancel it ( my own conspiracy theory, no real evidence)

But hey, at least it'll have tiddies

It looks like Baldurs gate raised the bar, good.

Ironically, if I ever play this I may turn nudity off, because I sometimes consider revealing lingerie more alluring.

It's also not even appealing nudity. It's not even up to uncanny valley level yet, it's just awkward textures that resemble people.

But does it have decent gameplay? Adding boobs and dicks doesn't make the game any good.

Good.

Not for thirsty reasons. But for immersion.

It's hilarious in Fallout. You kill some dirt caked cannibal raider that bathes in blood and has lived in a half collapsed subway for a decade. You strip them of their gear and they're wearing pristine underwear under that mad max outfit made of rusty metal spikes and car tires. The only dirty part of them is their face. And not always even that much.

Gaming is a mainstream adult thing. It's not made specifically for children anymore. We can stand some nudity. For realism if nothing else. Where it makes sense like.in the above example. I also understand devs don't wanna spend a week or 6 modeling genitals. If the games setting calls for it then make it happen. Doesn't make sense in a lot of games. Like any online game.
