While some video games, like The Sims, allow characters to engage in same-sex lovin’, we believe BioWare’s Dragon Age is the first that game creators produced an entire gay sex scene for. Between man and elf.
Well, it’s the first we’ve ever seen.
We’ve never played Dragon Age: Origins (the “dark heroic fantasy” was just released this month), but from watching this clip we know characters are given a series of dialogue options when talking to other characters. And like a good Choose Your Own Adventure book, selecting the right choices will reap excellent rewards.
Like this Brokeback Mountain style romp by the fire, which, depending on the height of your cubicle’s walls, may be NSFW.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
And these two are supposed to be enemies. Aww!

Too bad you don’t get to see more.

Win!

A step in the correct direction. Video games have long since ignored a demographic that is quite loyal to well designed games.

Very hot! I too would have liked to have seen more. If this is available for PCs I am going to get it.
james_cambridge
That was some scintillating dialogue as well….

There are also lesbian story lines in the game. I’m playing now as an elf lesbian.
YellowRanger
…Antonio Banderas?

The game lets you choose the sex of your character so the storyline could potentially be hetero but its nice you get that option. I made a female and I dont see any potential love interest for me, everyone just thinks I’m a bitch right now.
This is not the first time BioWare has done this though, just the first time with the main character. I believe in their Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic rpg, there was a lesbian jedi.

Boring!

I love following the romances, but I just can’t get hot over 3D modeled sex scenes.
Also, unfortunately Zevran is a lot less hot in the game than in his concept art, in which he wears a nipple-grazing merry-widow/bustier type thing with bare tattooed shoulders.
GoKitty: As a female character you get to romance the adorable Alistair, you lucky bitch! You can also go for Leliana or Zevran, both of whom swing both ways. Morrigan is the only one of the love interests who doesn’t like girls, and Alistair is the only one who doesn’t like boys.

omg. all that is missing is a cig. i’m not a prude but I was a little shocked by that.
and it’s an elf with a human. even more shocking.

“I just can’t get hot over 3D modeled sex scenes.”
LOL, so true. I know some gaymers get boners over shit like this, but I just don’t get it.
jimmy
I wanna see elf peen!
Lady Ga-Gasp
I was sure Michael Lucas would show up any second.
Shawn
That was a weird accent for an elf.
Distingué Traces
In Dragon Age, elves are mostly a subjugated people. Except for the wild Dalish elves they live confined to ghettos in human cities.
Zevran has the accent of the human culture he was raised among after being sold as an infant.
Tom
The Christians were right all along. Man on Elf sex. That’s not right!
romeo
@Tom #17: Speak for yourself, Tom. LOL I’ve done elves. You know, the bar is closing, the lights have come up. Oh, well, what the hell. LMAO

I’m a great believer in inclusiveness in video games but does everything need to be sexualized like this? Gay rights is great but let’s not use it as an excuse to lower the bar in terms of sexual explicitness.
Chameo
What was too gay for even most of us gays. Gay sex in a video game. Wow.
Distingué Traces
Hee! I’ve just found out that Zevran takes a different role in the sex scene depending on your character’s race.
With humans and dwarves he’s a bottom, as seen above. But with other elves, he’s a top, as seen here:

This is racism! Racist stereotyping in video games!
And it’s inaccurate too — I’ve know many dwarfish bottoms.
Synnerman
Damn! I have to make a new character. Bye bye Elf Mage. Hello human. 🙂

@ Jason: these romance subplots are a major part of most RPGs; it’s just that in all but BioWare’s games, they’re exclusively heterosexual. If they’re going to include such subplots anyway, isn’t it better that they’re more inclusive?
You are right, however, that they’re getting slightly racier, but that’s happening across the board. BioWare’s first foray into a same-sex romance subplot, in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, ended in a confession of lesbian love but no physical interaction whatsoever. Their first man-on-man romance (in Jade Empire, which also allowed a lesbian romance and a MFF threeway) was criticized because while all of the hetero romances ended in screen kisses, the gay male romance just faded to black. Their next major RPG, Mass Effect, didn’t include any explicitly gay or lesbian romances, though it did include a possible romance between a female character and a female-like monogendered alien. And the romance climaxes were more explicit–basically just a roll in the sheets, nothing you wouldn’t see on prime time.
In that regard, it looks like Dragon Age is just continuing the trend of racier romance subplots while restoring the trend towards inclusiveness that Mass Effect largely skipped over.

You know what’s really sad? That’s much hotter than most real-life gay porn.
jason
This looked like a bit of muscular play between Alexander the Great and Samson.
ally tart check
Did the elf’s accent remind anyone else of Antonio Banderas? Other than that, I also want to see elf peen!
mojojojo
So do orcs engage in homosex?
Ted C.
And what is this mythological land where people leave their underwear on while having sex?
I liked the gender-twist on “As the actress said to the bishop…”.

“They do not come very often”
Sean
@ Jason
It certainly raised my bar.

“I was born of a whore and bred of an assassin.” I was wondering why that elf looked like Carrie Prejean.
James
@ Distingué
Crap. I shoulda known. I always like the goofy straight guys. I was really hoping for some hot alistair-on-elf action.
oh and seriously? Leliana? I would have figured Morrigan as the hot-goth-bi-girl. huh.
clint
Would have been hotter if the elf didn’t look like Stephen Baldwin. Yikes.
john
this is hot.should be more gay sex scenes.how bout gay sex scene between a gay guy and a gay gorilla???.they do just about everything else,why not this??.
seanboy

j
@Brian NJ: Hahah! Thanks for that!
Alex
hahaha there was a dude in the background after they had sex. was he watching the whole time?
Marian
They did it in Jade Empire as well, you could have a male/male encounter or female/female (as well as male/female).
Their games are also the best.
sugoidave
Woof! Woof!

I thought that the scenes were quite well done for the most part.
They’re slowly improving the quality of such things, from the old style of just asking someone to sleep with you and going right to a black screen. But without being gratuitous.
I’m straight and into old fashioned romance myself, so the relationship buildup with Leliana was my favorite. But my gay friends have complained about how the same sex relations are a little stereotypical in what they’ve seen.
Alistair will only be with women, and gets the normal romantic, flirty, teasing relationship.
Morrigan only wants men, and she’s the emo “love is a lie” type, who you basically have to have the sexual booty call with for a while before she will start to realize that she cares about more than just your body.
Leliana goes both way, but either way, you have to go through the romantic courtship. It’s all emotional and loving and sweet. Giving her lots of flowers and gifts and a pet and all…
Zevran however, well, he’ll sleep with anything. His character is raised by prostitutes, and brought up with the idea that sex is just good fun and should be enjoyed whenever, with whoever. There’s not really any “romance” with him, and he’s by far the easiest character to sleep with. He’s also the one into BDSM.
Now, personally, I don’t really have a problem with Zevran. But I can see how some might get annoyed that the gay man is the one who does “everything else”. But considering that they only had 4 relationship characters, they had to sort out things somehow, and try to give as many different styles as possible.
I’m hoping that perhaps in their next game, they might still have 2 hetero characters, 2 bi, and 2 who are homo only. Because from what I’ve seen, they’ve never given that choice. They have people who will go both ways, but they’ve never had any exclusively gay characters.

@ No. 40
The thing with the Zevran romance is it does start out as a casual thing for him, and it is easy to sleep with him. However you can continue to talk to him and slowly he starts falling in love with you.
Eventually he will give you an earring as a sign of his affections. He will even refuse to sleep with you until he sorts out his feelings. At the end of the game he will want to stay with you.

there are mods available that
increase the possible intimate relationships to include just about every combination – any character can be intimate with either gender, pretty much
refine the rendering of the bodies, introducing not just genitals, but a choice of uncut or cut, hairy or smooth, and a variety of cup sizes for women
a growing collection of armor and clothing ranging from the practical to the salacious
Most importantly though – the general population of modders and players on forums for the game are pretty casual about the gay/lesbian story lines
Charlie Jackpot
The top was prety hot looking even if he did look like he had a hairy back
But did anyone else hear a lot of barking? Am I missing something?
