Maxim slobbers over hot chicks in Dragon Age, sneers at RPGs
Bioware's upcoming RPG Dragon Age is featured in Maxim. Sort of. Well, a few of the characters with breasts are featured.Unless doing it kinky-style with your significant other, role-playing is the second nerdiest thing you could possibly do. Playing role-playing video games is No. 1, which puts Bioware's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins at a severe disadvantage in the "make us interested" category. Fortunately for them, they've got a couple of aces in the hole: sneaky seductress Leliana and shapeshifting mage Morrigan. Both are possible romantic companions in the game, but you don't have to wait until the release date to fall in love with them. We've got exclusive photos of real-life hotties Alleykatze and Victoria Johnson who lent their sexy curves to their video game counterparts.
Bioware is all excited about it, too! Once you've enjoyed the pictures, be sure to post in this thread on the Bioware forums about which girl is the hottest and whether or not you would hit it.
(Thanks, Angie. No, really. Thanks.)
UPDATE: Maxim seems to have changed the text. I wonder if Electronic Arts pointed out that, uh, hey dudes at Maxim, you're trying to help us sell the game here. Ease up on ridiculing the people who buy Dragon Age and stick to the cheesecake.

This just in: Maxim is stupid. Film at 11.

Didn't last more than a few pages in that thread. That PaperClipMan's a charmer:
"anyway the woman morrigan was based on is fire. She definitely has some looks to her. Leliana girl....not so much. A bag over her head might do the trick."
Yes, I bet suffocating her first will definitely help your chances.

I am outraged, OUTRAGED, that Maxim would only take interest in an RPG because it features babes with tits. The way they objectify women at that publication is disgusting and sexist.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to get back to my Robert E. Howard novel.

Is it me or is the text above not showing up in the article anymore. Says this now
"Cut from the same cloth as their previous Baldur's Gate series, Bioware's upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins thrusts players into a world of magic, nobility, and bloody battles. Lots and lots of bloody battles. But, killing off seven-story tall dragons and no play makes one's game character a dull boy (or girl). Fortunately, the developers included a couple of ways allowing one's avatar let off some virtual steam: sneaky seductress Leliana and shapeshifting mage Morrigan. Both are possible romantic companions in the game—the second best kind of sex, next to the real thing!—but you don't have to wait until the release date to fall in love with them. We've got exclusive photos of real-life hotties Alleykatze and Victoria Johnson who lent their sexy curves to their video game counterparts. That's some levelling up we can all get behind!"
Anyways Maxim is stupid, it always has been. Only reason to read it is to not read it(if you get my drift)

The fact that they changed it only makes it worse, somehow, though I can't quite explain how. I actually have a Maxim subscription, which was a mistake in the first place, but I already knew I wasn't going to renew it. The writing and topics are incredibly sub-par, it's like reading how a drunk frat kid would talk, verbatim. The really sad thing is publications like that along with things like MTV are incredibly indicative of the direction/interests/intelligence of my generation. So depressing.

I meant to add that my favorite magazine is "Wired." If you've never checked it out, I strongly recommend it.

I thought Maxim was dead, well that's too bad.

I think getting hot and bothered over animated pixels in a role-playing video games is the third nerdiest thing one could possibly do.
