Video game characters have better sex than I do -or- Gay sex hits your PS3

I have traveled across the world in search of adventure, dragons and sweet ass.

There has been a slow increase of gay characters and gay themes in video games of late.  Just this year the Sims 3 introduced the idea of gay marriage, although same sex relationships had been a part of the game mechanics since the original.

The last game I had played, in which you could make your character homosexual, was Fable. The ensuing sex scenes, although they faded to black, had some comical, if not misleading, audio. I have never once heard anyone utter the words, “Oh, it’s so big” to me during the act of love making. I have also never used the term “love making” before tonight.

This video is from Fable 2, but it illustrates the point.

However, all of that is old news as Dragon Age: Origins includes a full on sex scene. Yes… a gay sex scene.

“Dragon Age” is the name given to the time period in which the game takes place. It was named so because, at the beginning of the age, dragons re-appeared in the world after being thought extinct. The game is not all about dragons, though of course dragons do play a role in the story. Dragons are rare and dangerous creatures, and their fantastical nature is evocative of what our game is all about – hence the title.

The video is pretty graphic for a game, although it doesn’t show anything. It does, however, rely on a lot of suggestion.

After watching the video several questions had been answered for me. I had long believed all elves to be bottoms and now I know.

However. I am left with one question?

Are all of the Elves in Dragon Age from the gayest part of Spain? If so… boo.
