Yes, and I heard it would not have got an M rating if not for the sexual content.Those ESRB people are made of fail .. heck, they had to reclassify Oblivion due to complaints .. like they didn't know what was in it in the first place?See, DA:O was marketed as a mature game, so they had to make sure they got the M rating.Some content included to that end was quite unnecessary.The pearl, for instance .. and the blood spatters.We live in an age when a game like Modern Warfare 2 sold 7 million units on day 1 partly because you get to massacre civilians at an airport.Not quite sure how good that game is, yet .. but the second highest launch figures of all time was Grand Theft Auto 4 .. which was a good-but-not-great game.Devs say what devs say, and the bulk of pre-launch stuff is marketing.Just to drive home my point, dungeons & dragons 3rd edition has an open game licence. WoTC does not get a say on how those rules are used.
