They say the scenes, which they often don't know about in advance, leave them "shaken" and "upset."

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

    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.”

      If I’m not mistaken the Hot Coffee mod restores content made by Rockstar that was cut last minute.

        Yeah, there was a whole kerfuffle about it because all the files were still on the disc, therefore some jurisdictions re-rated the game to some version of adults only. Rockstar definitely did all the development work to get that sex in the game, they just decided not to show it in normal gameplay.

      Mass Effect Andromeda had one or two fairly graphic sex scenes. Nothing more than what you’d typically see in an R rated Hollywood movie.

      Unfortunately the scenes were with the most human characters. Imagine my disappointment when it just did fade to black with the Turian girl…

      I think “common” here would refer to having to produce them, over the actual explicitness of the scene. Whether Mass Effect fades to black or not isn’t really the point when the voice actors still have to record the lines that play while the screen is dark.
