The point of clothes in those scenes is to not get pushed up to an Adults Only rating. (It doesn't count for Liara because she's not human. Cerberus owns the censor boards.)

They didn't have some crank journalist complaining about the game being a "sex simulator" without actually playing it.
Oh yeah, that whole “Journolistic” meltdown was as fun to watch as it was migraines-inducing. Some people just see an image ir a snapshot and knee-jerk into ‘yep, it’s crusadin‘ time’.
Hehe. That too.
When complaining didn't work. They just got their friends hired into the company via dei. And that's how Andromeda and vailguard happened.
Well, that may be how Vailguard happened. I don't know. I didn't keep up with it. But I'm pretty sure Andromeda happened because there were too many cooks in the kitchen and they were all forced to use the wrong utensils. And they were also in different timezones...so the more time critical ingredients just weren't making it into the mix right.
And that's about as far as I can take that particular metaphor, but yeah.

I agree on that one. Too many cooks, changing priorities, changing builds, changing staff. Plus, having to find some hook that could possibly continue the story after 3. Or, in Andromedas case, dodging the issue entirely.
i remember watching the old video about an ’alpha build’ of a scene from Andromeda that looks graphically far, far superior to what the eventual game ended up as. Story and characters did feel very… odd. And the looks of many characters did not end up great.
While Veilguard does feel very much hampered by people who didn’t necessarily want to follow the dark fantasy roots of the series, in favour of a flashy, stylistic, but kindof hollow imitation of Dragon Age. On top of apparently being restarted from scratch several times. Since it was originally Dreadwolf.
Andromeda and Ceilguard were death by a thousand cuts, but in many ways and for many different reasons.

I'll take your words for Mass Effect... but dragon age for sure died to dei... good thing Bethesda just hired the head writer to work on elder scrolls 6
Indeed. It‘s going to be a fascinating train wreck. You hit the nail though, Veilguardwas made to be the game a random Rook spends the whole game managed the feelings of his merry band of misfits without ever actually solving anything beyond ‘be nice to other cause you’re all good’. A splashy superficial world were characters don’t even fit the world because they talk and act like modern day idiots.
I mean, based on Veilguard, only divine intervention can save the Elder Scrolls 6.
Andromeda will forever be the ‘my face is tired’ game.
