The ESRB HAVE EMAILED ME BACK!!!! THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE ANSWER!!! MODERATORS CAN DELTE THIS POST BECAUSE OF SPOLIERS
YES SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT READ DO FURTHER JUST ENCASE U DON"T WANT TO KNOW
Dear Peter,
Thank you for contacting the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB). We are always interested to hear from those who use the ratings, and appreciate your taking the time to contact us with your thoughts and comments.
The ESRB does its best to ensure that the rating process is meticulous and thorough. At least three specially trained raters review actual footage from each game submitted to the ESRB. The raters examine the game's most extreme content, evaluate its context and overall intensity, and use their own good judgment to recommend the rating they believe will be most helpful to consumers.
In the case of Mass Effect the raters determined that the M (Mature 17+) rating with content descriptors for Blood, Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Violence was most appropriate. According to the publishers submission for Mass Effect, there are two non-interactive videos that depict a discreet love scene between the main character and his romantic love interests. Breast profiles can be seen during one of the videos. There is a scene in a bar where female characters wear thong underwear. This type of content is likely to have contributed to the rating and content descriptors ultimately assigned by the raters.
ESRB does its best to provide reliable information about a game's content, but we also encourage parents and all consumers to do their own independent research, via game packaging, websites, magazine reviews, and other sources, to see if a game is appropriate for their family. Ratings can only be a guide and we hope that you will continue to use the system.
We hope information is helpful, and thank you for writing.
Regards,
Entertainment Software Rating Board |

Wow, I can't believe you got that! Awesome!

Looks like if you avoid romances, you'll avoid seeing breasts. Whether the bar is mandatory or not remains to be seen.

I was pretty sure they weren't going to email me back but then that happened
So don't do the Romantic Quest Line and don't go to the kinky bar if you want to avoid that stuff
I am scared i am going to get banned for posting that...Edited By HogOfDeath2.0 on 07/16/07 19:02 |

I don't see how you did anything wrong. The ESRB provided the info Bioware should've provided anyway. |

IT wasen't that big of a thing to me to ruin because i kinda Though that, it was going to be something like that,
Persoanlly i have no clue what the Chris is going to do to the post,hopfully he puts a highlight thing for it so people don't read it.
I don't really care about that scene because to me it makes the game more real and if you don't wanna see it the don't do the romance plot point.
I really wish you wouldn't of posted that but its to late.Edited By ohwiseone on 07/16/07 19:17 |

He gave you plenty of spoiler warning, and it's a very minor spoiler if at all, and some of us really wanted to know. |

Yeah and i respect that It gets people not worrying about it randomly showing up on screen and thats Good but the big this was that, it was a story part of the game and that can ruin someone who has stayed spoiler free, the only reason i read it was to see if my guess was right |

Where are the buff well muscled half-naked guy warnings in that letter??? Where's the girls' fan service, huh? If I have to look at women in thongs (ew), I better get a half-naked guy to compensate!
I for one am going to be TICKED if my FemShep/Male Romance love scene has more of HER nudity than his. Like I care about FemShep's breast profile.
