Maturity in Bioware's Dragon Age

According to an interview with one of Dragon Age designers, 

Making a decision early, deciding to make a mature game, to target an older audience, then knowing that all the way through... you play and it's like, "that's really challenging. I wasn't expecting that kind of motivation for these characters". That mixes up with, "I wasn't expecting to have that much sex". It goes into the same space. It works as one cohesive unit. It's kind of like having a blue period.
I wasn't expecting to have so much tripe. This is really challenging, I didn't expect Bioware's kind of motivation to let them sink this low.

"I wasn't expecting to have so much sex". Heh. Maturity. Heh. Blood, guts, gore. Heh.
