Dear God, but shut up, you fucking fanbrats. I don't think anyone ever said that some degree of fan-service wasn't all right in its place.
But please get a goddamn clue: While I'm sure there are some gamers who won't buy a product if either no one's in chainmail bikinis or anyone could be, they're probably vanishingly rare. (And as for how much that contingent actually deserves to be catered to? I'm inclined to
agree with Bioware.)
That said, I'm still mulling over whether or not a certain detail that could be construed as fan service (despite not being particularly intended as such) will go in my book.
