The Age of Conan forums exploded with joy (we hope it was joy, anyway) at the thought of censorship being defeated and totalitarianism being driven back.

Funcom apologizes for this small error (or maybe two small errors.)

Good to know the CM is taking this precisely as seriously as such a grave matter deserves!

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of your lawyers.

Please note this isn’t a design decision or something we can reverse. It’s a legal (or as good as legal) requirement to sell the game in that particular territory.

 

With that said:

The US version is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. If you buy the US version, you will not see nipples.

The German version is rated 18+ by USK. The German version has full gore, but will not have decapitation, dismemberment, and over-the-top type fatalities.

The “elsewhere in Europe” version is rated 18+ by PEGI and is unchanged.

This is complicated. Thus, I will help you with a simple chart.

Neo-Berlin and surrounding territories The Holy Christian States of America The Free European Socialist Paradise of Brussels
VIOLENCE NEIN! Sex is cool. SEX CAUSES COOTIES Blood is great, though We’re a bunch of degenerates. We can take anything.
