Dodgy: So nobody at the age of 13 has seen any breasts... Censorship is utterly stupid in this case.

As it is in nearly every case.

deathkitten: I like that they were at least prepared to go ahead with it before censor agencies bullied them.... not many games companies are prepared to be daring in this age where one nipple is dealt with in America in the same way as if it was another 9/11.
Walmart is also responsible apparently, they refused to stock the game such is the burning hate directed at women's bodies by the fascistic Religious Right:

She looks like a mermaid and is a badass!

How do you explain then that they sell copies of Age of Conan? AoC has full blown toplessness including aureole. And there is even a fix out there that removes the pasted on underwear.
And yet no one, not even Jack Thompson bats an eyelash at this.

I could understand censorship for the last Leisure Suit Larry game though. The fact that it's so very mysoginistic.

Err, Jack Thompson has been disbarred:

Thank goodness for that :)
In regards to the nudity, well what can I say? Some say it's art and we should allow it, some say it's unfitting for children. Which is kind of weird, because most of us are breastfed.
But then again, the context in which this nudity is 'used' is often of a sexual or marketing undertone which makes it somewhat unfit for the young. Personally I believe that nipples - both male and female are nothing that needs to be censored. Heck, go to the beach in most places, and well - you get the picture (pun intended)
I think it's good GOG left it in though. For those that want to, it can be fixed easily. For those with children - it's an assurance that their kids won't see something they won't want them to see.
In all fairness - what we believe is right or wrong in this subject is into our own minds, beliefs and origins. As are the beliefs of others. If you are OK with (your children / yourself) seeing nipples, do so. If not, then don't.
Which is why I understand the fact the censorship is (left) in. So parents can buy this game for their children ;-)

Yeah well in that case it is indeed called for.

He's only be disbarred in Florida.
Doesn't mean he can't move out of state and become a lawyer somewhere else.
And besides he was quoted as saying "This isn't over, the real fun begins now." So we haven't heard the last of our ambulance-chasing friend, It's only a matter of time.
All I was pointing out is the discrepancy in Wal-Mart's shelving policy when it comes to M-rated games, it seems they've relaxed their criteria quite a bit.

Great Scot, you are right on the Jack Thompson bit! I stand (well actually sit) corrected. :) Brr... scary thoughts..

Peach1200: Grazie della segnalazione! :)

Sporcaccione! ;-P
Thanks for that, MaestroIachelino! I prefer the uncensored version.

..... do you know where we can download the arpfix.gzp ??

DeusExMachina: In Europe we got the uncensored release. Especially in Germany censors have a problem with violence but not with nudity.

I love living in Europe :D
we get nudity! YAY!

I'm sure a simple google search would find the fix.
what about the language, was it origianly censored, or did they change it?
