The BBFC reveals nudity and a single sex scene with possible human on alien action.
The BBFC classification for Mass Effect has revealed that the game has been awarded a 12 rating for "moderate violence and one sex scene".
Violence is pretty common these days, but a sex scene is sure to cause a bit of a stir. According to the extended classification over on the BBFC website the scene in question is "brief and undetailed" but does include "breast nudity in one version of the scene".
The classification goes on to state: "If playing as a male character the scene can take place between him and a human woman or a humanoid female alien. If playing as a female character the scene can take place between her and a male human or a female humanoid alien."
So that's quite a variety and certainly something for most sexual persuasions. Mass Effect is scheduled for release across Europe on November 23.

It's an entirely valid question - to have heterosexual and female homosexual relationships in a game but not male homosexual relationships seems a bit of a cop out really. Still, Bioware are better than most when it comes to dealing with sex and relationships in games, but I think we're a long way from having an openly homosexual (male) lead character in a game, purely due to the market demographics.

But unless they pulled it out since I was last on the project because the writing didn't work, I'm virtually certain that a male-male romance is in the game.

For those clamoring for man-on-man romance from BioWare, I would direct you to Jade Empire.

Can you imagine the insane public outrage this would have sparked 10 years ago? 5 years ago? I'm glad to see we've come a long way towards maturity, but at the same time, they present it like, "Oh yeah, alien lesbians. Next!"
