Miranda’s butt shots (and most of the casual titillation throughout Mass Effect, actually) are dishwater-dull, however. Sex isn’t static it’s life itself it’s part of your personality it’s expressive and vibrant. The butt should be free! But Mass Effect’s strangely wandering Miranda-cam is not “freedom” in any meaningful sense, and the tedium of this Groundhog Day debate about sexuality in games illustrates how narrow the horizons of sexuality remain in gaming.Īfter all, there’s much, much more to sex than the occasional butt shot. #freethebutt,” reads one representative tweet, with four screenshots of various video game women’s butts attached. “Since human anatomy is now considered problematic according to game journalists, here's a bunch of pictures of some nice videogame arses. Graphics updates will make the first game feel more cohesive with the second two, and it’s also packing in nearly all of the DLC and the Extended Cut ending to make the entire experience feel complete right out of the box.Ever since it was first reported that BioWare were planning to remove some of the (in)famous butt shots from Miranda Lawson’s cutscenes in Mass Effect’s remaster, there was a feeding frenzy from outrage-merchants on social media. ![]() Mass Effect Legendary Edition is making a number of other small changes to the series to make it feel more at home in 2021. So we can’t necessarily change that animation, but you can raise that camera up slightly to reduce the problem.” So a male Shepherd animation would have him sitting with his legs quite wide open with a low camera where, if you were wearing a skirt, it would be a bit unflattering. “Specifically for female Shepherd, I think there was a lot of things that we could do across the trilogy to make that better, so that she’s a bit more on par with male Shepherd,” Walters said. “… the animations, we couldn’t really change a lot of those, but there were times where you could change the camera to not focus on one of those animations. There are come camera angles changing for Shepard too, in order to create more equality between the male and female Shepard models. ![]() Let’s start by talking about the narrative importance of Miranda’s butt, and why it’s good the game is not removing it entierly. Let’s discuss Miranda’s Butt being shown a little less prominently in Mass Effect Remastered. ![]() ![]() I just released a book about video game butts. Laura Kate Dale, who wrote a book on video game butts, has an excellent thread about why, although Miranda’s “perfect” butt is part of her storyline (due to her genetic engineering), changing the gratuitous nature in which the game completely focused on her butt in all conversations allows her character to develop better. “But ultimately, to change an entire character model or something like that wasn’t really… it was a decision that was made as part of many creative decisions and just showing it at the best possible fidelity that we could going forward is really the choice for all of the art that we had.” The team is drawing a line though, and won’t be changing character models, citing this as a creative decision for the rerelease. “Kevin actually called out some camera cuts that were just… why was that focusing on Miranda’s butt? So in some cases we said, ‘Okay, we can make a change there.'” “I do think a lot of things have evolved since but I don’t know if I would say we were ultra-concerned about it or anything like that, but there were considerations,” Walters said when Metro asked about accusations of the original games pandering to male audiences.
