Switch296: I doubt it. They removed an entire sex cut scene, they aren't going to leave that just sitting in the game folder unless they want to get sued.

We have no idea how this engine works or how complicated it may be so yeah, but having heavily modded games like Morrowind/Oblivion/Fallout 3 & NV/Thief/Crysis, it's never simple. I know every engine is different though but yeah, I don't see this so called unofficial patch (If it even ever comes out, someone is going to have dedicated a lot of time to it) being as perfect as everyone is dreaming it will be.

diceyy: Well I wouldn't trust them to release new games in line with their stated principles after this mess. Its a shame, I would have preferred to give my money straight to cdprojekt for a complete version of the game but it seems they do not want that to happen.

eyeball226: My understanding is that sex isn't removed, simply the option to pick it as a reward is removed. All they need to do is add the option back in.

eyeball226: We actually got the same version as Japan, the blood was America only. There was some speculation that the blood was added to increase appeal in the US.

Also, a lot of the time the stuff you mention in old JRPGs was self censorship. Nintendo of America at least (don't know about Sega) had a policy that no games on their consoles could have any references to religion, alcohol, smoking, etc. The ratings board (if it even existed back then) never even saw any of those things. It is annoying that we got all those changes, but it's quite likely that NoE might have had similar policies anyway.

Switch296: It's been removed.

Zeewolf: stuff

Zeewolf: GOG kinda fixed this now, I think:

WARSAW, POLAND. May 9, 2011 -- The dashing digital download dudes who run GOG.com (http://www.gog.com) have decided to change the way they do business, in light of customer response to the Witcher 2 preorder. They have decided that they will not use IP addresses to determine a customer’s location for game purchases and downloads.

“GOG.com has always been about trusting the user,” said Guillaume Rambourg, Managing Director of GOG.com. “We’ve come to the conclusion that there are a number of issues with using a customer’s IP address to determine what offer they are being presented with from GOG.com. A good number of users can find themselves negatively impacted by a policy of using geo IP to set their region.

“For example, customers may be travelling when they want to purchase or download a game from GOG.com. In this case, automatic IP address capture might change the price or the content of the game they’re ordering (such as the default language of the installer). Further, geo IP data collection is not always right. IP addresses are not a perfect or unique identifier of location, and can report the incorrect region of users, particularly ones who are not using standard Internet connections. Finally, we’re always very sensitive of our users’ privacy. Effective privacy protections for our users means that any data that we don’t need to collect, we shouldn’t. We only need to know the country that you’re making this purchase from, so although we originally planned to use geo-IP to determine user’s location, we’ve decided to trust our users and let them inform us as to the correct region for their purchase.”

Users who are finding problems with their country’s location (and the offer they are presented with) in their settings. They can update this by going to ”My Account” and clicking on “Account & Settings.”

The change is now live on GOG.com for all current purchases and preorders.
