TL;DR: Video game actors being told to mo-cap sex scenes without being told beforehand

    Sex scenes are common in modern games - and are often made by filming human actors who are then digitised into game characters.

    Is “common” referring to cringey low budget Steam games? I don’t think I’ve seen any sort of on screen simulated sex in a game, ever. Granted I tend to only play well publicized indie games and larger releases. But how common is this? Am I out of the loop?

      Tell me you’ve never played a Witcher game using a whole paragraph.

      Mass Effect, The Witcher, San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod, Sega Bass Fishing 2, Cyberpunk 2077.

      It’s pretty common.

        The Witcher and Cyberpunk I’ll give you, but Mass Effect definitely fades to black before getting to actual sex, the other two are mods. I wasn’t saying sex in games doesn’t exist, but if we’ve gotta go back several decades for a handful examples, that doesn’t feel like something that’s “common.”
