Mass Effect to Feature Breast Nudity

[GameBanshee News]

Pro-G is reporting that the British Board of Film Classification has awarded Mass Effect a 12 rating due to a scene that features "breast nudity."

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."

We've come to expect romantic encounters with companions in BioWare's games (even homosexual ones, as in Jade Empire), but having nudity in such a scene will be a first for them.

I've seen some of their trailers and I have yet to come across any sign of nudity in them. And not to mention, aren't they supposed to show a screenshot where this scene happened?

Alright! With the hype of a thousand screenshots, a hundred trailers, and now the added feature of nudity, there's a 75% chance that this game will suck out loud! Saves me money, yay!
